YETI vs IGLOO Coolers 100Hrs

We took both our coolers camping because we had an extended weekend and check in on them every 24hrs or so. The YETI had all our food in it and the IGLOO had all of our drinks. Both coolers were prechilled for 24hrs before loading them.

We use yeti every day at work in the landscape business. I have to say they are a joke for the money. We have to put ice in ours twice a day. We switched to igloo. Holds ice longer.

[@lifeoffline2248]

Agreed with yeti your just payin for the name we love our igloo 🙌

[@winstonwright8374]

Pro tip, fast food places sell ice. For $1.50 at Burger King you get 10lbs of ice!

[@attentionaddicts]

Or get ice at the Costco food hall for free 😅

[@sooner91]

Had no idea thanks

[@nomanejane5766]

Mine doesn't

[@bryanjackson2807]

My igloo BMX 52 will keep ice in the field for 5 days, if you chill it in advance and put a layer of freeze packs on the bottom. Last time it was in the 80's every day and on day 4 we were still having to break ice to get drinks out

[@lifeoffline2248]

Man thats awesome. One of the other guys on here said adding a small rubber seal in the top lid helps a little to. But does it even need it haha. But i love the igloos great price and reliability

[@ClaudeLachance-sg6dt]

What color do you have? All they have at my local store is dark blue/black.

[@paulcarlin5181]

For most folks, one to two days of ice retention needs will be served by an Igloo, etc. But more than that, I would go roto molded. Yeti, Orca, Kong are great, but the best bang for the buck is Lifetime Coolers.

[@lifeoffline2248]

Two days is plenty but i have to disagree with the options. The igloo still had ice in it after 100hrs it was the one with the most volume of items in it. It was opened easily 4 or 5 times as much and i think prechilling the coolers is the main reason they lasted so long. I would not buy another yeti to be honeat

[@paulcarlin5181]

@@lifeoffline2248 Do you think the Igloo is as durable as a Yeti? Taking hits being thrown in the back of a truck, some friend sitting on it like its a chair? I own an Igloo reactor soft side 30 cooler and love it. Not bashing Igloo at all. I do wonder about their durability though.

[@cliffordrandell735]

The Lifetime isn't roto molded . It still looks cool though

[@lifeoffline2248]

@Paul Carlin I sit on the igloo all the time even standing to and the igloo has held up well. i think maybe it 3-5yrs it may not take it. The yeti is hard as hell and will probably still be intact and working far after becoming obsolete

Yeti is like Harley Davidson, you are also joining a club.

[@lifeoffline2248]

True!! lol

[@taylorsloan5538]

This wasn’t really a good comparison. It would have been better to see coolers of the same volume, ice, contents and conditions square off.

[@lifeoffline2248]

Thanks yes that would have been a better comparison:) these are just the coolers we have so decided to compare the 2 brands.

[@fugiok]

Those igloos coolers need a weather seal on the door for some reason igloo don’t come with it I have a overland after I installed it my ice last twice as long

[@joshziemann9896]

Got a link you used to get the weather seal?

[@staceyman]

This was not a good test. But as I was told by an expert, the new yetis are basically igloo . So do you research on rotational molded coolers to get good quality not just a brand name. Realistically if you just want cooler for the beach or weekend event best money is spent on the igloo. At most you have to buy some more ice. Hint precool any one you choose for several hours if you can before putting food in. A hot plastic cooler will leach the cold from your food or beverage items.

[@lifeoffline2248]

True,it was not the best comparison 😂 we still use both coolers.

[@Eb-ux9bz]

The Igloo BMX 25 by far exceeded all my expectations and the best value for your buck. Here's why. Most gear heads like myself, love our gears and I take good care of them. This is one reason why my gears last forever and is very seldom for me to replace existing equipment that I already possess. I don't abuse them nor do I mistreat and oversee their expectations. Equipment failures occur because of misuse or abuse due to the owners carelessness. A lot of times things breaks because of the owners lack of knowledge and mistreatment of his or her equipment. I would love to have an expensive Yeti cooler but do I feel safe leaving that in my car while I do my outdoor activities? No, people knows what Yeti looks like even when you cover them up, they know what to look for. The Igloo performs almost at par against Yeti and other expensive brand out there at fraction of the cost. My Igloo retains ice for more than 3 days, the only addition I did for my Igloo is gluing a flat rubber piece around the rim to make it airtight. I also cut a 1/2 inch Styrofoam to fit the inside diameter of the cooler to help keep the coolness from escaping. I've had my Igloo BMX for three years and is still performs like the day I purchased it. I figured it will probably last me another ten years or more before it needs replacing or not.

[@lifeoffline2248]

Haha preach my man! You are exactly right, we are coming up on our 3rd years with the igloo as well haha and I was going to put a silicone bead around the inside to seal it air tight. How did you mount the rubber?

[@Eb-ux9bz]

@@lifeoffline2248 Hey, I used GORILLA Epoxy Clear because I wanted the rubber seal strip to be attached permanently. First step, I taped up the perimeter area of the cooler that I would be applying the glue to the rubber seal strip. =========== Kind a like this. Second, I used a 1000 grit sandpaper and lightly sanded the area I will be applying the glue. The tape will help give a neat professional look. Third, I used rubbing alcohol to clean the sanded surface from any debris or oil. Fourth, Apply the Gorilla Epoxy and let it sit for 5-6 minutes. Sixth, Remove the tape. Carefully set rubber seal strip to the glued area and press. Close the lid and set to dry. Make sure to clean any over spill glue if any, thanks to the tape. I hope this help.

[@lifeoffline2248]

Bro awesome directions! I love it, thank you so much

[@nithia]

Once you get past the $50 to $75 price point most of the coolers are going to be more or less the same thing other than size. With coolers like Yeti half of the price is due to the brand. Watched the Whats Inside channel cut one of the $400 Yeti in half and it was not much different from a basic $50 Igloo save for a little thicker and the Igloo did not have an insolated lid which I think you could do a tap test for hollow sounds on that. You could even use some spray foam to fill the hollow lid and plug the holes you would have to drill with some flex seal or something.

[@lifeoffline2248]

I was thinking of making some changes but to be honest it works great! Longer than we even need it to at least haha

[@seansaturday1037]

Ok let’s custom modify our coolers. Sounds really smart.

[@paulcarlin5181]

Alright, Alright, I am convinced now to get an Igloo BMX 52. I love to find deals on MarketPlace. Last nice deal I found was a Grizzly 40 for 140 new. On the site it is 319. Hoping to find a Igloo BMX for around 75-80 range. We shall see, I am patient and with the summer slowly winding down, I can wait for that deal to be ready next season.

[@lifeoffline2248]

Hell yea good way to save money!! We really do like our igloo a lot!!

[@javi111488]

Igloo hands down.

Good to know I always refrigerate it 😂

[@rachel7550]

The yeti coolers are way too heavy to not even be more effective smh. I got a couple and selling at least one of them (the roadie) since with ice I can barely lift it. Cost is obviously a second factor but yea who wants to add extra weight to their vehicle or for carrying around to places for absolutely no reason

[@mikefleek9259]

Comparing 2 different sized coolers makes no sense. Thermal mass is profoundly different. Apples and oranges.

[@lifeoffline2248]

I know it's almost insane that the Yeti which is twice as small cost twice as much, but for the money. Igloo is where it's at. Plus when are you using these coolers for 100hrs?. Both are good basically to the end anyway. So it's a win win. Except for the cost

[@brianmunday8182]

ummm, you used two completely different sized coolers....

[@lifeoffline2248]

True lol

[@stevensmith516]

I have the same igloo, at one third the cost and similar performance to the yeti. This is uncommon value and it all started with my hatred of buying bag ice.

[@lifeoffline2248]

Haha I hate buying ice too. I was looking into cooler packs as there are quite a few options and sizes. But I only have one freezer and it takes a good chunk of room to cool enough for the big igloo.

[@ironhorsesgs]

I also hate buying ice. I freeze 6 or 8 1liter bottles of water and use those as freezer packs. As they slowly melt I use the water since we are often tight on water where we camp.

[@lifeoffline2248]

@@ironhorsesgs that is a great Idea 💡 we are gonna try that next time extra water is always helpful 🙌

[@Frank-il3kt]

Yeti is far superior. Just bought the Tundra 350, but I would never discourage anyone from buying a lesser brand. It really all depends what you’re looking for.

[@lifeoffline2248]

Yes we tend to use the Yeti more but they are both very good 😊

[@banimanFJ]

Far superior at being over-priced and over-rated. Igloo has superior value to performance, unlike yeti.

[@persona5305]

if it doesn't hold the ice longer then there's no point. I really thought the ice will last twice as long as the other cheaper brands. it's extremely pricey for what?

total BS. 2 different coolers, different contents. Who has room to chill a cooler??? c'mon.

[@lifeoffline2248]

Kind of like your comment right hahaha! By chilling at cooler I mean putting ice inside of it... I don't know why you thought a freezer? Also yes the coolers are different sizes and different contents but the igloo had way more stuff in it with just a little bit more ice getting opened about 10 times as much. And with that information it's pretty easy to tell which cooler was more efficient
