Personally, I never could see being able to justify the "premium" cost of the Yeti. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but, is the Yeti worth paying upwards of 10 times the price of an equal sized regular cooler? Throw into the mix, the fear of theft.

10x is pretty far off, I paid triple for my K2 as a comparable Coleman extreme. And it will last triple the time, don't leave it where it can get stolen - do you leave your guns in the back of your truck?

I bought 4, 120qt igloos at over $50 per cooler in less than 4 years. Now I have a 110qt yeti that was around $490 after taxes, a 65 qt yeti that I got a great deal on brand new for $210 and 20qt for $190 and I guarantee you I will have these yetis for 20+ years. So for someone like me who uses ice chests all the time, they are more than worth it.

My cheap igloo's from Walmart cost a fraction of a yeti and do just the same thing. I like my money to much to buy expensive stuff just to say I have it knowing it isn't any better. Hinges are my issue but they cheap also. As for ice, I freeze gallon jugs for free. Now I can afford a tank of gas!

Really?? Yeti is in the same class as a cheap igloo??? That's gotta be a joke because I sure am laughing my *** off!

Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Before we got the ice machine at the camp, we used tupperware to make block ice. Just need a deep freeze and a little lead time.

Kinda, I have zero experience with a yeti so I don't know. I never had a issue with a igloo so never looked at them. I would defend them also if I paid a few hundred for a ice chest!

A Yeti is heavy enough to sink the Titanic, I know that much about em. I've got one of those Igloo Extremes (I think that's what they call it) and, I'm pretty happy with it. I couldn't pay $300 + for a cooler either...Everyone borrows my dang coolers and, never bring em back!

This is what I use to make my ice cube, one will make an ice cube ~80lbs. I still have one in my Coleman extreme that I put in during mardi gras (been keepin it out the sun).

On another note...those 20$ colored igloos don't hold ice for ****, if you gonna buy a cheap cooler at least get the marine grade. They hold ice a lot longer than them island breeze's...Bought a cheapo cooler for water at work and I'm spending more on ice than water...even with the inside out ice...Actually thought about upgrading to a high end cooler for this purpose...they are way too heavy for my boat though.

I just got a K2 for work, it stays in the bed of the truck under a tonneau. The less I have to buy ice the happier I am, I keep ice in a cooler almost 365 days a year so I get tired of stopping to top off!
