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?
Nothing different. Just goes over warranty, and common sense stuff. None of the other ice chest come with a warranty.
Other than that it is just a lot of tips about how clean, and keep everything cool. Also brags about how much weight it can hold on top of it.

I can get a good look at a t bone by sticking my head up a bulls arse but I think I'll take the butchers word for it.

Does the manual recommend draining the water (from melted ice) periodically ?
This helps keep ice a lot longer in an Igloo that is used to keep drinks cold.

I personally have a yeti and we've been through plenty ice chests offshore fishing and nothing holds ice in the blazing heat like them. If a 50 dollar igloo did the same thing I wouldn't pay 6 times that for my yeti. Not to mention the durability factor.

Yes it did talk about it. Only when there is more water than ice though. Believe it or not the ice acts as a very good insulator. When I refill ice I am usually about half melted. I let the water out until it is a little less than half the chest then I top off with ice.

I agree. Even if ice last longer I can buy alot of ice for the price of a Yeti. They also may last longer than 10 igloos but I just need my ice chest to last longer than I do.

If you are buying ice everyday like I was it pays off. I also own a commercial ice machine now so ice is dirt cheap.

reason enough to read the ice chest manual.

More significant than you think. I don't have to drive to my shop every day if I don't have to to fill up on ice. Plus I don't have to keep paying for replacement parts with a Yeti.

Besides the drive to the shop, operating a commercial ice machine is more expensive than most people think.
The Yeti doesn't fit the bill for the ultimate cooler gadget for my weekend or occasional uses. Maybe someone will apply a new technology and create that miracle product one day.
But if I had a business or activity where I needed an ice chest every day, then I could probably justify the Yeti for its durability and its insulation.

Way more. It sucks up a whole lot of power. I got it off of a trade from a job so it was well worth it.

I'd love to have an ice machine, and would own one and Yeti type ice chests if I needed ice on a daily basis. But a friend of mine with a camp got a good deal on a nearly new ice machine, and after running it for a few months, he turned it off and bought ice. It cost way too much to run it constantly, and for a typical weekend, it wasn't practical to start it up each time he went to the camp.
If you can match your steady need for ice with a machine of the proper capacity, it's a great appliance. Otherwise, there are better alternatives.

Mine came out of a restaurant and can produce 400lb. a day if needed. I usually run it during summer for friends and family to get ice since everyone fishes and hunts. Sometimes I'll run it during the winter if enough people need it. I justify it as doing family and friends a favor.

It's a good stress relief.
The only thing about it is that it is fun as shite tearing it down. Picking it back up is another story though.

Great way to share. I'll bet you get repaid in fish, game, and invites to parties (at least from some of the friends and family members).
