YETI Cooler advice
My girlfriend just bought me a Yeti YT45 model cooler last week for my birthday, and I heard that it takes a few weeks to get the cooler to reach its max cooling potential. I have read the owner's manual front to back, and all I have gained is that you need to fill the cooler with ice or keep it in a cool place before use. However, I tested it out by putting a 20lb bag of ice in there on Sunday morning with a few beers, and set the cooler in the back of my tahoe. It has been in the 70s this week in SC, and when I checked it this morning, all of the ice had melted. What gives? I thought these coolers were supposed to hold ice for a week plus, even in sunlight or extreme heat. Is it just because the cooler is new? TIA
This is just so funny to me. Dude read an ice chest manual.

If I pay $340 for an ice chest, I'm reading it too, especially when it's not holding ice!

Sounds pretty bad, but damn, every other cooler I bought was just a cooler and that was it. This thing had a 20-page manual, a features catalog, and all sorts of stuff.

That is funny though

the yeti doesn't theoretically work any different than any other ice chest. You'll get max performance if you pre-cool any ice chest before icing it down with your shite.

I have three. The 125 stays in the back of my truck at all times with cold drinks. As others have said you need to pre cool the ice chest. Since mine is always there it is always cold. Try and use drinks that are already cold it helps a lot more than you would think. Load you drinks and fill all of the free space with ice. If you do have warm drinks in there buy one extra bag and an hour later you should be able to throw it on there. I can hold two cases of beer a case of water an eight pack of gatorade and a 12 pack of redbull in mine and about 45lbs of ice. It also helps if you use thick pieces of ice or put one medium size tupperware with water frozen in the bottom.
Don't listen to the others. I have gone through every brand ice chest. None of them will hold ice like my Yeti.

I stick my igloo in the freezer for three days, freeze my beers and put polar ice in the ice chest when packing it, it holds cold beer just as long as a yeti.

Believe or not the things they recommend in the manual work. I don't know anyone that didn't read it. It tells you the best ways to maximize the cooling potential. If you pay $500 for something like that you may read a little about it too.

You can just stick it in your arse because it won't hold ice as long as my yeti.

SO what do you do different with a Yeti that wouldn't apply across the board to other ice chests to maximize cooling potential.
They created a manual for ice chests 101 to make you feel warm and fuzzy after you got raped at the register.

I need a manual to show me how to stick it in the arse. All this time i was sticking it in the arse, i wasn't maximizing my arse sticking potential.

Look I didn't want one at first. I have a garage full of ice chest now because of all them that I tried. I keep an ice chest in the back of my truck for my crew to have drinks while working. At first I had problems with the ice hold for less than a day during summer with other ice chest. Then the bitches started breaking constantly. So I sucked it up and bought a yeti. I have had it for a year now with constant use every day. It probably gets opened and closed 30 times a day during summer and it will hold ice for 3 days during the summer. I don't precool my drinks, and I don't have to precool the ice chest because it never doesn't have ice.

You a contractor?

I love practical gadgets and want there to be some kind of great ice chest breakthrough that will be worth buying.
But the Yeti's are obviously too damn heavy and way too expensive to be the one.
All of these pre-cooling, special icing, limited opening recommendations will significantly extend the cooling efficiency of any ice chest, including a styrofoam box.

I'll walk you through it. I stick my head in my arse every time I pay that much for another ice chest and my fiancé threatens to gut my arse.

I'm not diminishing the quality of a yeti. I'm now only asking what the manual the manual tells you to do that is only Yeti specific and wouldn't apply theoretically across the board to any other ice chest?
