Having wanted the benefits of a Yeti without the price tag, I bought this cooler thinking that if it performed half as well, it would be worth it. To be honest, my expectations weren't that high.

The cooler is well designed and incredibly sturdy.

To test it out, I dumped two small bags of ice into it (and a few drinks) on a Sunday afternoon. It then sat in my backyard (not fully exposed to the sun, but it was warm/sunny). On Thursday, I opened the cooler and there was still a decent amount of ice.

Based on it's temperature retention and the cost, this thing is an absolute gem. 

I'm now thinking of buying a second cooler to convert to a Jockey Box for draught beer.
