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!
no pelican?
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 $400. And can be a freezer, fridge or both at the same time. Plugs into your 12v car plug, and will hold temp for hours unplugged.
This was really funny 😂
🤍
Costco coho 50qt cooler for 120–150$ is by far the best bang for buck
How many of these get stolen?
A major quality you all miss is the handles rope handles suck. I have to tie down me coolers when four wheeling not to mention carrying them. That’s why my first choice is Pelican.. Let’s get better handle’s and ditch those ropes
Yeti didn’t make a wire basket for the Tundra Haul. But we did!
Never cleaned glass out of a pool before I’m guessing?
They didn’t test otterbox, what a shame.
Why do people pay over $300 for a cooler?
i can’t afford any of these…
I just about to leave the video to that dad joke but then he threw you in the pool… I came back with a thumbs up
I’d love to know why noroto moulded coolers are so expensive ? I get that it’s a slightly more complicated then injection molding but hundreds of dollars more seems ridiculous. Can’t believe the 400 yeti has a crooked label
Get yourself a pelican cooler, they don’t just make cases for the U.S. military for nothing.
Y’all didn’t mention Hooked coolers🤦🏻♂️
You’re not testing the OtterBox venture series?! I expect better from cnet
Why no Pelican? 100% made in USA, lifetime guarantee, best latch in the industry IMO. RovR is another brand worthy of being on this list. Also 100% made in USA and some really cool features.
Excellent research 👏 Bravo friends
What about FatBoy coolers?
Worst review ever. Only 120 dollars! Tell me you getting paid without telling me you getting paid.
Has anyone considered Pelican Coolers?
Good video.. but you need to Throw this Canadian Brand into the Mix! We have a Lit of Outdoorsman here.. because we have a lot of Beautiful Natural Areas !! I’m sure if you Reach out to “WHITEROCK”Coolers they would hook you up for a Comparison Test! I own Two of these Beauties! They have options you didn’t mention for any of these Coolers! I would confidently put it up Against any of these Brands you tested! So Reach North of the Birder before your next Test to “WHITEROCK” and give them a try! Bottle Openers for our Stronger (Alcohol %) Canadian Beer, Rotomolded, Measuring Guide for those Massive Fish we have, Steel Plates for Placing a Lock so your Beer isn’t just Cold but Safe as well, removable Cutting Boards & Baskets to Keep things like Cartons of Eggs out of the water that eventually will be on the bottom. In payed Cup holders along with Basket style Cup holders that mount off the side of the Whiterock! I’d love to see how you find they Stand up compared to your other options! Like I said I’d put it up against The Yeti or any other you have here! Last but Not least…. The Price is Automatically lower.. because your talking Canadian Dollars… Whiterock stands behind their product.. not that I have needed to get anything replaced but their reviews show that to be true! I do not work for the company in anyway.. I’m just a loyal customer to a Company that I believe in and it’s Products have never let me down! When I’m not using the 2 coolers I have for their practical uses.. They double perfectly as a Night Stand or End Table.. Gives the Man Cave a real outdoors feel! Cheers and I hope to see a review that Includes the Whiterock Name in it! 🇨🇦
at 400$ they just slap that yeti sticker however crooked they want to I guess lol
Great mix of data and fun. Thanks!
Looking to upgrade but yeti is out of this girls budget.…between rtic and Frosted frog which would be better for camping for 2 people?
fake plunge
Magellan won’t ship to California 😂
A big 👍 for Steve at the end 😂
You didn’t mention how many hours or days it can keep things cool…
Need to compare the Otterbox and Kong coolers..
this was much more entertaining than the written version.
I heard with the Magellan coolers, there are no extra parts. So if something breaks on your cooler, you’re screwed.
Magellan Outdoors Icebox 20 QT cant find online
