Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After careful review and cost analysis of the ORCA vs YETI and a couple of work associates that have Yeti's, I opted for the ORCA. Price was a major factor. This will be a 4 day review so it will be updated each day. Finish is fine and most flashing from the Roto Molding was removed. Nothing really sharp to snag or cut. Mesh pocket in back is nice but I have removed it as it will not be functional in my use. Day 1 - Ambient temp is 99 degrees F on covered back porch using an IR handheld thermometer as pictured. Inside the ORCA 40 the temp was 90F. Added 20lbs of ice and shut lid. Left on back deck in the shade. Ambient temp remained above 80's until next day which was 76F Day 2 - Opened the ORCA 40 to take a temp reading and measured temp 2 inches above ice level on the side wall of the cooler. Ambient temp is 94F. Put in a quart jar of juice and at end of 2nd day it was 40.8F Day 3 - Left cooler closed all day on Day 2 except to add one item. Temp today is 74F in am with temp expected to be 90's later in the day. As photo shows the jar of juice that was added was 40.8F and I was surprised the sidewall of cooler was still 38F. Ice has melted some but still plenty. I'm going to call this one a KEEPER as I don't really expect to have to use a cooler for trips for more than 3 days anyway, 4 days at most. UPDATE: Day 4 - Ambient temp 94F Photo shows container sidewall 2 inches above ice/water level 43F Photo shows ice/water at cool 34F Photo shows container of juice at a temp of 38.8F For a savings of over $100 I think this might be one of the best deals in coolers around.
