The majority of coolers on the market claim to hold ice for an extended period of time. Temperature, how many times the cooler is opened, whether or not the cooler was pre-cooled, the type of ice being used, the type of insulation in the cooler, ect. If you’re on the fence about spending the money, consider how long you will be gone and what it would cost to add ice to your cooler everyday. For us, while a YETI required a larger initial investment, we will save money (and use less water) over time.
For most people, being able to keep ice for 3 days or more is plenty. And it makes s great for any weekend outing. When it comes to premium coolers, travel mugs, and insulated tumblers, Austin-based Yeti is probably the most well-known name in the game. Ozark Trail, on the other hand, is a Walmart-owned brand under which the company sells similar products, although at much lower prices. If you are looking for a functional and durable air conditioning unit look no further than the wholesale ozark trail cooler range at Alibaba.com.
Unfortunately, I realized a little too late that I purchased the wrong size and the larger size won’t be available until after we leave for vacation. Several weeks ago we finally purchased an Ozark Trail 52-Quart High-Performance Cooler from Walmart. I was so excited to get it home and run a test to see if it really holds ice longer than my Coleman 60 Quart Performance Wheeled Cooler.
The weather was in low 90s during the test, the coolers were in full sun for most of the morning, and we opened them several times throughout the day. The ice melted in the Coleman in 39 hours and the Ozark Trail in 73 hours. The water turned warm in both coolers fairly quickly after the ice melted. Depending on what you’re using the cooler for, the leaky drain spout might not be a big deal. For us, however, we keep our cooler in our car while traveling and we often camp in bear country.
I also liked the model’s T-Rex lid latches, as these keep the Yeti cooler completely sealed at all times and ensure that the lid doesn’t pop off. ozark trail chair like the swamp cooler or evaporative cooler are a very economical way to cool a given space. Some sources say it is up to 1/8 of the cost to operate a comparable air conditioning unit, and around half the cost to purchase and install. It is very effective in arid climates or as a way to assist traditional air conditioning units. As you can see, they do a pretty good job and certainly deserve your consideration the next time you’re out looking for a cooler.
For that you would need to look at the RTIC 45-Quart Cooler. While this is a decent range it is a much smaller range than a cooler brand like Yeti which has multiple different sizes. This issue seems more prevalent in the larger sizes, but can happen on the smaller sized cooler also. It doesn’t have a drain plug so emptying it of water can be a hassle.
