YETI Tundra 45 Cooler, Charcoal

Llega abiarta, mal empacada, sin tapón de drenaje

We have one in the U.S., which kept our food safe from a bear's attempted break-in! Nothing but one scuff mark, even though the bear "swatted" it from the top of a picnic table. Purchased a second one for our family in the U.K. and can't wait to take it camping. DO chill the cooler down the night before, if you intend to store food for multiple days (Yeti recommendation). The cooler has substantial weight, especially when loaded with food.

REVIEW I bought this cooler because my Pelican 45 is way too big on the outside of the cooler and doesn't fit in any car trunk that I have owned. I want to be able to take my 45 with me for car trips. So far I'm really happy with the size and how well it keeps ice. It is also significantly lighter than the Pelican. The Pelican has and needs wheels, but this Yeti just doesn't feel like it needs them. I'm not too crazy about the rope handles yet, but the Yeti has solid handles built in too and these work like a charm. I measured the actual internal capacity of this with water. It can hold just about exactly 32 liters of water and still have the lid close. For comparison, the Pelican 45 with wheels measured in at 35-36 liters (but also has a little lift in the lid that would allow a bit of extra space form the Yeti). Pros * 10 day ice retention seems great, especially in a compact size. * Quite light for an injection molded cooler. * Easy to carry with the molded handles. * Fits in many car trunks, including my Civic. Compact. Not a square! * Nice color. * Quality construction. * Solid: doubles as a seat, step stool, etc. Cons * Price. * Would prefer closures like the Pelican has to the rubber straps. THE TEST I wanted to know how long this cooler will keep ice before I did a review, but I didn't want to wait for next summer, so I set up another indoor test. Test conditions: * 23 degrees Celcius for ~12 hours a day and 18-22 degrees Celcius for the other 12. * Lid opened briefly once a day at the same time to check ice level. * Cooler pre-cooled with icepacks for one hour before starting. * Cooler filled to the top with large ice cubes (you know: the kind your grandma/great-grandma made manually in the freezer trays), these cubes are much larger than store bought cubes and will last longer as a result. Test Result: Still had a little ice after 10 days. Cold water was all that remained on day 11. I don't like other tests where they "simulate real world useage" by opening the cooler multiple times a day and digging around in it. I want to know how long a cooler keeps ice, not how long ice takes to melt in a cooler that is open...so I kept opening to a minimum. I know the cooler will keep for a shorter time if I'm opening it and keeping food in it instead of solid ice, but that isn' the point. See pictures for the start of the test and the various milestones (Starting, two days, five days, eight days, and 10 days).

Good quality but it is heavy. Need dolly to move it around.

Si, el hielo dura mas que en una hielera común
