Bought another ice maker

[JSF]

My 65qt was free Gotta love those welders looking for business

U know the world has gone to hell when ppl start reverting to extortion to get a free cooler

[Chuey]

I'm sticking with the old standby the "Yukki", for $385 I can buy about 30 of these coolers.

They're basically a "high end" cooler without the fancy roto molded kayak plastic, high end latches, a gasket in the lid and a cool hole drilled in it for your pad lock.

Oh and they're not grizzly proof nor do they have cool sponsors like Jim Shockey or Skinny.

They are worth every dime and if you take care of them they'll last the entire summer.

here's one for you what if you spray it with bed liner just a thought...lol

[jsrickert2]

I actually did buy an ice maker -probably for less than you have invested in coolers

I'm looking into an icemaker what did u get and how much was it.

[Breezy]

Lol... Insomnia answer here..

It's really the durability and possible longevity.

Do you really go spend money and waste vacation time to go dig dirt and rocks out in the 100 degree heat?....

Now that's funny !!!! Lmao

Assuming your $385 was before tax, so you should have paid around $416.77 with tax.

I could buy 4x120qt max cold igloos,$64.94 each after tax, and replace all the parts on the igloos twice during the life cycle of each cooler for $389.60 total with Uncle Sam getting his part every time.

I'm willing to bet my four igloos will out last your single yeti. Since I've had the same igloo 120 for the past five years, and have not had to replace anything yet. That would leave me three more igloos to go through, and eight sets of complete replacement parts to go.

Enjoy your Yeti

I have an igloo in my truck that's less than a year old. It sucks. If you fill it up with ice it pushes the front wall so far out that there's a 1/2" gap when the lid closes. It keeps ice almost long enough for me to get back to the rig from town. If I hurry I might make it before all of my food ruins.

Let me know what the yeti is like in the back of your truck after every day for two or three years

Sorry for you loss.......of your savings

Come to the dark side. You will be happy you did.

Don't forget to stock up on hinges, drain covers and clasps.

Hey Smart, the clasp bust up very quick and when they do i dont repair them. If needed one of them $0.99 bungee cords works great!!!

Ive never had a problem with the drain plugs...period!!!

The hinges do break when the lid is miss treated but i found a way to prevent that before it happens..

At the end still a darn good bargain even if i decided to buy 3-4 repair kits.

I dont make yalls money so im not telling yall how to spend it. Im just stating what has work for me and most of all people before the Yeti hype. Enjoy yalls Yeti's...

Thanks for the offer....but igloo and coleman have made me happy for the past 25 years....made in the USA...and some made here in Texas.

Heck I even installed (2) monster air compressors at the Igloo plant there in Katy.....Plant manager hooked my whole crew up with coolers

Yeti sales plenty of replacement parts as well......

Doesnt mean I wouldnt own one.

[Chuey]

can we all just get along!!!

[Johnny]

Ahhh, come on Smart. Hunting artifacts a waste of time? Dude, that's quality family time and I don't lose money but actually triple it if I wanted to. If you ever came with me, you would have a different point of view for sure.


Went back and edited my post....didn't want you to take that the wrong way.

[TallTexan]

Possible longevity...I like that. From a yeti hater to a yeti lover overnight, in pure S M A R T fashion. Now now my friend...vacation time with my family is not a waste of time. If you ever have kids, you will understand. Oh, and I never have wasted money hunting artifacts. Quite the opposite....quality time with the family and my money returned to me and then some.

Awesome find Johnny
