Once youve had a RTIC youll never want a YETI

I'm sold. RTIC is amazing. I've purchased several as gifts. I'm a believer. Why spend loads on a over priced YETI. ? It's the same dang thing. My RTIC beat my YETI in a test I preformed. I froze the same amount of water into the same amount of ice trays. Measured it all out. Froze it. And placed the same amount in each cup. My YETI blew it away.

I'm an over-the-road truck driver, and use my Igloo cooler just about every day (meaning it is always plugged in and running). After 3 years my original power cord finally burned out. Ending up (ultimately) buying 2 of these things over a 3 month period, because the cheap a-holes at Igloo won't just sell a power cord, they even actually recommend these rotten things on their home-page. Both of these cords burned out in less than a month (the 12-volt outlet melted the plastic plug). I ended up buying an entirely new cooler just so I could have the originally factory power cord instead of this after-market piece of s***! A hundred dollars just to get a working power cord, after wasting 30 dollars on this turd. If you rarely use a cooler, and you're just taking the family out in your car for a weekend every now and then, by the time this burns out on you, you'll think you got your moneys worth. If you have to use your cooler daily to keep what few groceries you carry with you to keep from having to eat nothing but crap fast food, don't buy this cord to replace your original one -- just buy a whole new cooler, it'll still be cheaper in the long run. This damn thing should get negative stars!

I bought this for my husband. He loves it. I have a Yeti tumbler, and I think the RTIC is just as good as the Yeti and so much cheaper.

This is a great tumbler, just like Yeti but cheaper. Walmart also sells one called Ozark Trails that is even cheaper then this. Looks like the makers of Yeti forgot to patent their device and once they made it in China it was easily cloned. All these definitely keep you beverages cool for a long time.

I received an RTIC Tumbler as gift in mid-December, and I have used it for about a month now. Today after I finished my drink, I took the lid off to eat some ice when I took a bite of plastic. Unbeknownst to me, the lid had broken and a sharp piece of plastic broke off. This is a serious issue as I could have easily broken a tooth and/or swallowed the shard of plastic.

I contacted RTIC and relayed what had happened. The associate informed me that because I was not the original purchaser, there is nothing they could do. I asked to speak with a manager; she said the same thing. I informed both employees that I had received the tumbler as a gift and did not have access to the order information. I was again informed, "sir, that is our policy; there is nothing we can do."

It is sad that a company as well known as RTIC will not stand behind their product enough to acknowledge a serious issue that could have threatened the health of one of their customers. Policy should not trump customer service.

Why anyone would buy a Yeti anything is beyond me. I decided to give these a try after seeing neighbors with them. So far I filled it up yesterday with ice and water around 5pm then went out to dinner and caught a movie. Came back and there was a nice cup of ice water waiting for me. Once the water was finished it was nothing but ice. I went to bed and decided to leave the ice in the cup. I woke up and thought well at least I'll have a nice cup of cold water. Nope! Still nothing but ice. Almost every bit of ice I put in that cup is still there 14 hours later..

We have a Yeti and a RTIC, they are very comparable in performance, and this one is half the price! If I purchase another one I would go for RTIC, because the money savings is worth it and you still get a quality product.  I would like to see RTIC come out with different designs/colors!

I read many reviews before purchasing and then purchasing 4 more for gifts. I was sold on the pictures showing the results using iced drinks in the RTIC as well as the YETI. I have to be honest though, YETI is premier for a reason. RTIC does not hold heat as long as my YETIs. I don't discourage this purchase, just be mindful that you won't have the same exact experience with RTIC for hots drinks as you will with YETI.

the outside of the cup still gets very hot and the handle is thin..
I wouldn't say this was "double wall' like a RTIC or Yeti style at all

I love this cup. This is probably my second RTIC tumbler I bought in two different colors silver and hot pink I got for myself .  I couldn't believe that I can put a cold drinks with ice in this cup and at 8-12 hours later I still have ice left in my cup. Or a cup of coffee and a few hours later my coffee is still warm where I don't have to reheat it. I give this cup an A+. If your looking for a cup like the YETI and don't want to break the bank spending $50 bucks this is the cup for you.

This cooler is not worth the money, for the price of this cooler you might expect it to have been made with quality craftsmanship... but spoiler its not, since day 1 it has leaked from the drain plug and lid. I replaced the drain plug and set it so tight it can't be removed but won't leak. But the lid has a gasket that doesnt even reach the cooler and can seal. I am verry disappointed with this purchase and will no longer purchase Yeti products because of this poor quality product.

It works, very expensive for what it is and does. Pretty soon YETI will be losing market share to more fair priced equal quality competitors when idiots wake up and realize they aren't making anything special anymore. Unfortunately I already had the 10 oz and hadn't done enough research, I know better now.

This sucks, pay this much and now selling a quality lid. You guys are money suckers. No more Yeti products for us. I don't like paying for someone's experiments.

This up is exactly the same as the more overpriced Yeti. Same cap, same technology. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS GUY!! Go to Walmart and buy it for $10. They even have the smaller 20oz for under $8.

To say this cooler is a major disappointment would be an understatement. First of all I own several Yeti cups and a Yeti hard back cooler. All of those products are off the chain fantastic!  This product isn't. The new zipper is hard to close all the way, the cooler itself is very heavy given that it can't even keep ice for an afternoon, much less 5 days as the discription states. NOT worth the $400 price tag. Stay away from if you want cold beverages.

Simply the best non cheap cooler out there. Where do I start, the construction is great all around, the latches are real latch and flow like hot butter, not those stupid rubber things on yetis and rtic. The handles are real handles, thick and stout unlike with a yeti where you get a rope and garden hose. Now I don't hate yeti, I have two of their 64oz, one 32oz and an 18oz rambler thermos and there fantastic. Also yeti lies, well misleads you. For example their yeti 65 isn't 65qt interior capacity it's 65qt exterior displacement. Also for yeti to be more expensive than the Pelican makes no sense, I understand why some people chose RTIC, a friend has two, they're alright but build quality isn't near the same.
Good example on their ice holding, went to the Daytona500 last month, loaded up on Friday night, ice was fresh as can be Sunday, a buddy had a cheap cheap cooler, filled with ice in the morning and ice melting by noon. I own the 65qt old design and 30qt new design. If you are looking at the 20qt i believe the old design is better since the new one is so vertical. These will last 10 years or more so the investment is well worth it.

Works as well as a Yeti and very nice without a lot of branding on it. I bought an Ozark from walmart and it's not as good at all.
