Not worth the money. Poor performance.
This did not hold ice for nearly as long as advertised. Followed directions to a tee. Cooled the cooler off for a day first, with one pound of ice cubes. Chilled everything I put into it for two days before filling. Made 1LB blocks of ice and filled the bottom and sides with 7 blocks. Filled with beverages, and topped off with ice cubes until there was no space left in cooler. All ice was "dry", not wet. Left under my camper with a moving blanket over it for 36 hrs without opening, and came back to most of the ice cubes melted, and the blocks of ice about half melted. Literally the water bottles had melted into the blocks making concaves. The air temperature was about 90ºF with 100% humidity, but these are supposed to hold ice in the worst of Texas heat. I had to go home and I came back with a small igloo cooler(not chilled first though) set up the same with block ice, cubes, and chilled water bottles, and didn't even cover it, just kept it out of the sun, and the ice lasted just as long. Both about 2 1/2 days to reach the same amount if ice melt. Definitely all hype, and not worth the money. The more I research Yeti, the less I like the company. I will be trying other rotomolded coolers to see how they compare.
I would not, and am not, recommending this product.
