My brother in law bought a 65 qt K2. It leaked water, so they exchanged it.
Now the other one is leaking and the rubber feet came off when I slid it out of the truck.
They are easy to put back on, but if you don't see them come off, you will lose them.
They hold ice good, but there is an issue with it leaking water out the drain.

I know the critics will pick this video too pieces but it may help you decide if you are on a budget.

Seems it wouldn't leak water if it held the ice.

ok started searching all around about a bunch of different coolers. and theres one called Too Cool by Marpac/yeti. looks just like a yeti only slightly different shape and looks like much more cost friendly. can anyone elaborate on this as to why yeti would be making a same quality cooler at a much cheaper price...if thats even the case.

btw i have a yeti and a k2. I prefer the yeti due to durability and seal of the lid. after standing on my k2 for a while bowfishing I noticed the lid not sealing as well on the ends. still holds ice good though. and the yeti seals so good that frequently it forms a vacuum so tight that I have to open the drain plug to let air in so that I can get the lid open. things a beast
