I've have yet to talk to someone who bought a yeti product and was disappointed in them, only people who had never owned one making excuses about how they didn't need it, or it was too expensive. Nice to meet you...... My (8-year old) Igloo Ice Box olds ice longer than my Yeti. I've even left mine in the freezer for 2 days prior to using it and it didn't hold ice any longer. You want to talk about stout? Sure, it's a tank but not the ice holder as advertised.

Had it been in a hot garage before you filled it with ice? Insualtion works both ways. It had been inside the house, so 70-75 degrees.

if your yeti is not holding ice that means you have a collapsed gasket and it's no longer air tight.
if you slam the lid down and can't open lid without cracking the drain valve then your gasket is sealing properly.
YETI does sell replacement gasket

The 125 yeti I borrowed for my 5 day camping trip had almost the same amount of ice for all 5 days.
The igloo we brought didnt even last overnight with ice.
Not sure why yours didnt hold ice but they do hold ice for almost a week
GO TRUMP!

My cheap Coleman has drink holders in the lid, which are sometimes pretty darn useful.

Especially that green! I just got that 125. Yeti was replacing my 65 with a warped lid so I upgraded for $150. I love the big one but that damn thing has not moved from the truck since I put it there. Mostly because it's been full of ice for over a week! Now that I got this big one I need another medium size!

I started questioning the OPer when he said his Coleman was 15 years old. Its only true if in that 15 years he's used it once or twice a year. I've had Coleman's and igloos and they normally lasted 5-6 years before I had to let them go. But yeah if you are someone that only uses a cooler a few times a year then yeah cheap coolers are fine.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

I have survived these 40 years of hunting with out....and what years remain Ill do the same... Seems having ice left over is the big deal on these if you listen to the Yeti owners. Hell Ice don't hardly cost anything compared to a $$$$ cooler!
The way things should be are not often the way things are.....

Yeah rick it just comes down to how much you use a cooler and how you use it. For those with specific needs they are well worth the money. Sounds like you would be foolish to get one since you don't have that need.

haha...Yeti aggressor....that's funny. I also think it's funny that people get real fired up about why they don't have one...I mean you don't see people calling each other out for owning huge trucks when they don't actually tow anything or use them to haul anything. Or what about people that live in big houses with a bunch or room they don't really need...fools for spending so much. haha

Just remember that ice retention is always impacted by a few things including including... - Quantity of ice
- Temperature of the cooler
- Temperature of the contents
- How often the cooler is opened
We get emails from folks thinking that 8 pounds of ice will keep 24 beers in a 75 QT Cooler cold for a week. We always recommend a 2:1 ice to drink ratio and minimizing the amount of air you have in the cooler. Ice and cold water are always better than air.
