    Plus the rubber latching mechanism will ALWAYS be the first thing to wear out ! Bad design ????

      Yep, pure ghetto ????

    And here I thought Igloo and Coleman were decent. Of course I haven’t bought a cooler in 15 years. Other than the soft sided they are all more expensive then I’d get.

    Now ladies? Yeah!

    What’s cooler than being cool?

    ICE COLD!

    Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

    Give me Frosted Frog anytime. That color is my favorite.

    Super nice cooler, I haven’t used a personal one in years.

    Now I’ll cancel my consumer reports subscription. Oh wait, I don’t one.

    I would thought a tech channel like CNET would also review Smart Coolers.

    • Will Bar

      May 30, 2022 at 9:18 pm

      I thought so as well since I have a Bodega that I can control from my phone and it has dule zones so I can cool on one side and freeze on the other and it has wheels and a handle, a drain plug and a cutting board. But it cost me over 400 so it’s a bit pricey.

    did the crowd funded “coolest cooler” ever release?

  17. Whitney B

    May 30, 2022 at 8:10 pm

    I have several coolers. Sometimes you need wheels, sometimes you need a small soft side to throw over your shoulder. Sometimes you need that big daddy cooler.

    Should have tested Pelican

    • Uneek637

      May 30, 2022 at 9:16 pm

      I have had mine for many years and works great. I would have loved to see how it stacks up.

    ATK also did equipment testing on coolers years ago. They voted Yeti as the top contender, and Coleman as a best buy.

    Industry standard of 2/3 ice? How do you find your cans in there? ???? With that much ice, you could just use a 5 gallon bucket instead of a cooler. A prechilled roto-moulded cooler needs very little ice. It is mostly just to rechill the air after you open it. (BTW, check out the Rovr Rollr…the Ferrari of coolers.) Great reviews!

    No Engel coolers ??? The hold ice the longest. I

    Best budget cooler is by far the Lifetime from Walmart, any age can operate the locking mechanism. Bear proof, 6-7 day ice retention, totally depending upon use, can be longer. And bottle opener. 80 bucks in the off season.

    • marshalt

      June 2, 2022 at 6:38 am

      I love my Lifetime coolers. They might not be “rotomolded” but who cares? They are hundreds less than a Yeti or Rtic, but perform almost as good.

    Can you review otterbox, pelican, and Siberian coolers as well next time?

    Glad you got that lav mic off after the push 😉

    Alright Andrew, I would love to hang out with you and have a cold one. Good work!

    Did I just see a The Weeknd Out of Time vibe?

    Coolers? Umm not anymore. For the same price points the 12v fridge / freezer are in now. Most are still cheaper than a yetti. Example, the Setpower 45L (RV45D) is $400. And can be a freezer, fridge or both at the same time. Plugs into your 12v car plug, and will hold temp for hours unplugged.
