YETI Rambler Gallon Jug, Vacuum Insulated, Stainless Steel with MagCap

I bought this jug in May and used it all through the summer while I worked as a lifeguard on the beach. Our 7-hour-straight shifts mean a gallon of water, sometimes more, is necessary. However, I was tired of the cheap plastic jugs that leak all over my face when I try to drink directly from them. So I splurged and spent a day and a halfs pay on this jug. Pros of the Yeti jug: It never leaks. It holds ice all day in direct sunlight and 90-degree-plus temperatures. The magnetic cap is neat. The nozzle is good to chug from. Its stainless steel so it never rusts, despite having been dropped in the ocean and the sand. Cons: Filled with water, it weighs nearly 15 pounds- much heavier than the cheap plastic jugs. On the days when I had to walk to my stand carrying the jug in my hand it was a killer. I would routinely do bicep curls with it as a joke. The jug gets scratched very easily. It also got dented in the top edge early on, and although it was only cosmetic, plastic jugs dont get dented. Its EXPENSIVE. Overall, Im satisfied with my purchase. If the huge price tag isnt too off-putting, Id recommend it.

The reviews for this product are absurd. Does not leak at all unless you dont close it right which is a plain truism. Ive seen reviews about people saying it is really hard to open the jug, but another truism, if you close it really tight it will always be really hard to open back up just like anything else. You have to close it just right and it doesnt leak and it opens easily. There are two weak point where you are supposed to press on to open the jug. That will be by pressing both of your thumbs on the side of the handle and using the rest of your fingers to open the bottle really simple. If have been looking to buy a one gallon jug for a while that contains your water cold, i truly recommend this one for your liking. I use this jug every day and i do clean it everyday and it is quick and simple. Dont be afraid of spending 140 bucks if you have the money it is really worth it.

I got this water bottle to keep in the car for my dog on hot summer days. Its in my car 24/7 with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees and the water is ALWAYS cool when it comes out. Its come in handy time and time again when I was in a road trip and was thirsty, after hikes, stranded with a flat tire and of course for its original purpose, keeping my pup hydrated on hot days. I’d buy another if they werent so expensive, but well worth it for any dog lover.

I must say my gut clenched when I hit confirm for this because of the price. But my hubby spends hours in the field in the heat during harvest and the 1 & 2 qt jugs u can find weren’t enough. There was almost no choices for a gallon except for the very pricey (gulp) Yeti, and maybe some other random things that wudnt do. Yeti passed the test with flying colors! We’d load it with ice and water in the morning- and after spending hours either on the hot floor (engine heat?) of our little semi or in the combine- even if the ice was gone at the end of the day the water was still ice cold! We filled it two days ago to go for a picnic. It spent at least 7-8 hrs in very warm conditions. Came home and left it. 48 hours exactly from first filling it (and we had opened it to drink as is evidenced by the amnt in the pic) there was still decent sized ice chunks left! Amazing. If this thing lasts us for a long time I think I’ll be able to say it was worth the price- although seriously $129 (approx????) is plenty no matter the quality. That’s my only complaint. The magnetic holder to set ur lid on is very strong- so no excuses for losing that lid!!!!

Great cooler Keeps ice for 7 days !!!!

Dont get me wrong, I love this cooler... but I absolutely hate having to refill it. It will keep thing cold for days but what ever genius decided to make it a course thread makes it nearly impossible to open. If you dont tighten it enough it dribbles down your chest like a child but if you tighten it the slightest bit you busting a ba.... trying to open it. Clearly they have not perfected their seal technology but it is too good not to give it a 9 out of 10

This container has very limited practical usage. Yes, it does keep liquids at desired temp for a long time even in direct sun exposure for hours. Yes, its very durable. The fun stops there. I can see this being used for water storage in harsh conditions like construction sites, camping trips, etc. If youre looking to just have it on you for regular use throughout the day, look elsewhere. Its too heavy; carrying it around can be annoying due to weight, and this is coming from a regular gym junkie grown man. Not easy to operate with one hand; this is obvious of course, however due to weight and bulkiness of it, its also cumbersome to have it in your passenger seat in the car and picking it up/putting it down back with one hand at that angle is also annoying. The lid is a HUGE pain in the neck to open up half the time. As all other reviews state, this can be a daunting task which would probably not suit most people. Overall, if you are getting this container for the purpose its intended to, then you will love it and the price tag will be worth it. For casual daily use it probably wont work out. Im going to be returning this and most likely purchasing 2 smaller yeti bottles instead just for the ease of use. Or I may explore other options.

Hard to drink out of and not get wet , lid leaks not the quality of the one I bought in 2017.

I currently have 3 RTIC coolers- the soft day cooler, plus the 20 QT & QT45 QT hard coolers I only have one YETI coffee tumbler I do like RTIC prices better and there quality is pretty good. Ok Lets start off. For Comparison, I got the one gallon jug in White from RTIC and I used that for 2 days. I compared it with with the one gallon jug in yellow from YETI that I used for 2 days. *Biggest thing- The RTIC doesnt hold one gallon. The RTIC only hold about 116oz. The YETI holds 128 oz. So, if you go with the RTIC and trying to drink one gallon a day, youll have to drink 1.5 cups (12oz) more to reach you goal. *Second is leaking- I have the jug in the passenger seat of my truck while Im driving, and the RTIC does leak a little when it falls on its side. I havent seen any leaks from the YETI yet. *Third thing is the weight- RTIC is lighter and smaller that the YETI. RTIC weights about 2.1 lbs while the YETI clocks in at 4.1 lbs. A two pounds difference! So initially, I went with the RTIC because the price was better but I was taken back that it doesnt hold a full gallon as advertised. Being smaller is nice and everything, and its lighter to pick up and carry. Im drinking 1 gallon of water a day, so the fact Ill have to drink more that the RTIC jug isnt good. Also comparing the metal handles, the RTIC seems much more fragile that the sturdier handle of the YETI. My only complaint with the RTIC 20QT hard cooler is the flimsy handle, so it does seem like YETI makes better handles. My justification for keeping the YETI and returning the RTIC: man reason is I want a full gallon to take with me all day and not have to drink extra to meet my goals. YETI has a 5 year warranty so if you break down the price, its like buying a $26 water bottle every year for 5 years. I hope this review was helpful
