Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My wife was given a Yeti 12 oz. tumbler as a gift. She asked me to get another to have a matching pair. I searched Amazon and found this item in the same color and size at less than half the cost of a Yeti. The Chillout felt lighter so I assumed they used a lighter gauge stainless steel. I now assumed that the Yeti would hold ice longer so I tried a little experiment. I filled both tumblers with ice and left them on the kitchen counter. I wanted to see how long the ice would last. I covered them with a saucer to close off the top. (Sidebar, the Chillout comes with a nice lid, the Yeti did not.) The two tumblers sat on the counter over night. A total of 12 hours. In the morning the ice ball left in the Chillout was twice the size of the Yeti. I have always been taken back at how much Yeti demanded for their products and often wondered if they were worth it. I am convinced that the Yeti 12 oz. tumbler is not as good as the Chillout. Yeti tumblers are made in China. I assume the Chillouts are as well but could not verify.
