It's different for the fish cooler. Not going in the house. If you use block ice, it lasts a lot longer.
How you close the door if ya Meats in the fridge??????????:*****:

Love my Yeti, I don't know if it holds ice for 5 days or not because I don't care. What I do care about, is not having to replace handles, hinges, and plugs every year. I can fill that thing with concrete and pull up on those handles without em breaking. Try loading a 120qt Coleman full of fish and ice and load it in the back of a truck. Those cheap plastic handles will let you down quick!

Bought 4 Yeti's last year. Not impressed with any of them. The coleman extremes hold ice better.

I agree 100%. The only thing good thing I see about the Yeti is it's durable. It's heavy as all heck and when it's used as a normal cooler (i.e. opened and closed all the time) it doesn't perform better than anything else.

Looking forward to trying a K2 cube as it comes in at a much different price point from the Yeti.

The second i buy a Yeti or k2 it will get stolen. I'll stick with the xtreme. I dont need an ice chest to hold ice for 5 days as i dont go camp in the wilderness away from civilization. I'll use my $50 cooler and get free ice from work.

I want to fill a yeti up with sand and leave unattended in the cal pt parking lot. Not sure how long I would have to wait until someone decided to borrow it but surely they would. Can you imagine the look on their face when that ice chest drove them into the ground?

unscrew the drain plug when you go to open should release the vacuum making it easier to open

I filled my 50qt yeti with ice the other Sunday for a daily get together. I left the ice in it all week outside. I used the same ice that next saturday for a fishing trip.

I just bought K2 30cube and it is a very well made and holds ice great. The only problem is i have line x in the bed of my truck and the k2 slides around like a bowling bowl!!! Will need to keep it on a piece of rubber, I wish they came with some type of rubber feet.
