Perhaps a better question is, which cooler do you use and is it worth the money?

Just buy an rtic and be done with it. You may have to wait a month, but the price point and performance are inline with each
other

Yep
Just like the Green Egg grill.
You can get the same quality cooler as a Yeti now for a lot less money!
Several companies have developed great products without the advertising cost.

idot, you know the main reoccurring complaint about the Ozark coolers? The lack of a drain plug.

Why not buy an American made cooler like ORCA?



Get the F out of the BATFE. The F is guaranteed by the US Constitution. Those other letters are not.

Orca- made in USA- lifetime warranty 20 qt - $159.99
nICE- made in unknown - 5 year warranty 20 qt - $129.99

we are really happy with our RTIC coolers. We have the 45 & 20 roto molded coolers and the smaller soft sided cooler and they have been work horses up at our cabin most every weekend.

I will say this, like all roto molded coolers, they are heavy as all hell when they are full of stuff, hell... they are pretty heavy when they are empty.

When you get one, it gives you a free pass to talk to yeti owners in an elevator to tell them how much they over paid for their cooler.

I like the idea of buying American made. How long will your Orca hold ice on average?

I got one and it isn't bad but I would go with a RTIC if this one wasn't a gift

Here's an Orca Product you beer drinkers will love. It accepts beer bottles or cans. On sale for the 4th $29.99.
$30 more to jump from 5 years to lifetime warranty seals the deal for me. Available at your local Academy Sports.




The ORCA cooler makes every event better. On a long day fishing, the drinks are cold in the morning and cold on the ride back in. A hot September tailgate? You can be sure your food is at the right temp before, during and after the game.
See, ORCA is a company founded by outdoorsmen, and they made the toughest coolers on the market. They personally put them to the test. They’re proud to say that “wherever you can take it, it can take it.” The coolers are so sturdy they come with a lifetime warranty.
Just as important as the toughness is the temperature control. The roto-molded process and integrated insulation means maximum ice/cold/heat retention for up to 10 days. That’s right, 10 days.
It’s not just how they are built, but where they are built that’s important. Every single cooler is built in the United States of America.
We’re proud of our coolers, and you will be too. We like to think of them as treasures; a cooler that will last forever and be used by every friend and family member

Here is another comparison. Orca did better than the high dollar Yeti. This goes into some depth.
