Happy to say that I finally was able to take this on a HOT Texas day and it did very well. With no pre chilling of any kind, no ice packs, etc. My Igloo 30 held the ice like a champ. More than satisfied with its performance.

Hell yeah!! Bought me a yeti flip 18 yesterday because of this video. Its awesome!

[paulcarlin]

Food for thought... right now you can buy Igloo 18 for 69.99. One Yeti here is 270 with taxes. Yeti products are made to last but the zips fail often(hence why the soft is 3 yr warranty as opposed to 5 for the hard coolers). You could buy an Igloo 18 once a year for three years and still be less than one Yeti

Thanks bud, haven’t seen yeti win a practical comparison yet 👍🏼

[crappiehookking]

Awesome comparison! I just bought the igloo today and am so glad I did!

[paulcarlin]

I took the plunge and ordered the Igloo 30 soft. I wanted to be sure I could fit liquor bottles if needed. I could not make myself pay 323 after tax for a Flip 18 from Yeti.

I have the reactor. For the price, you can't beat it. I'd take 18 cans over 12 any day. Yeti is for small egos

$250 for the yeti, jeez no respect for money. Walmart has the Ozark 24 Can for $40 and it works perfectly.

[Ericjarman]

Im not doubting the results, but was it actually 24 hours... it was daylight when you put the ice in, and dark outside when you opened them up?

[devinalosa]

I do own a few piece of Yeti like the 18 hopper and it has been with me for years and we’ll i do t have problems with the zipper and my ice doesn’t melt over 2-3 days. something don’t add up wi th this review . lol probably igloo paid his ass . Goth!!

[qtrendsetter]

Just took the plunge at Walmart with the igloo reactor 18 it was discounted at $30 and now I know I had a good deal

[paulcarlin]

No doubt about the results, but I do wonder about the durability of the Igloo because even with Yeti, soft coolers have issues with those zippers. But, its a win for Igloo!

[kupg]

Igloo 18 can cost £112 in uk…but 79 dollars in USA..

[daryllehmanii]

Excellent video! The one thumbs down is either the CEO at Yeti or someone that just bought the Yeti last weekend and is upset about the waste of money. 😆

[martinreyes]

Got the igloo for 50 at Walmart very happy with my big now

[mikecooke]

how is it possible that one of those coolers holds 5 more cans than the other ? they look the same size !!!

[bigb]

Igloo on sale for 40 bucks right now….

colour difference aside, the igloo was more full of ice due to its smaller size. The best way to keep any cooler fully cool is to have it filled to the brim with ice and to minimize the amount of air inside. That, along with the slightly lighter colour can explain the difference. It would've been more accurate to fill them both up to the top, and measure ice loss as a percentage compared to weight. Even then, whether the yeti wins or loses by a hair, still doesn't justify its price tag.
