I came across this cooler test comparing the Yeti, Engel and Coleman Extreme and thought it might be helpful to some.

I think you have to be careful when you see a "comparison test" between brands and the people doing the comparison are the manufacturers of one of the products they are testing. I can't imagine any cooler being much better than the Yeti cooler I have. I've used it for a week at at time, put in ice at the start of the trip, and at the end of the week, still had lots of ice left. Notice I said lots of ice, not just some ice. I might be able to believe some cooler could be better, but the results they're claiming aren't believable to me.

Test was crap.
Should have filled up all three coolers with ice and/or beverages and waited to see how long they would keep.
Also the 2 expensive coolers are built like a female East-German gymnast. Ugly, but tough!
I am with others though....I am not ready to spend that much money on a cooler.

Why not pre-chill every one of them, fill them up and see how well they retain the ice?
I say the Engel and the Yeti will be basically the same.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess the majority of the folks claiming the test was crap are likely the folks who have already spent a rediculous amount of money on a cooler made by yeti !

I just have a serious case of "I want one!"
I do think they are cool looking, and not at all comparable to a Ukranian swimmer.....
