How long does a Yeti Tundra hold ice compared to a budget cooler?

A Yeti Tundra holds ice for 3–5 days in 90°F weather, while a budget cooler lasts 1–2 days. The difference is rotomolded plastic, thick insulation, and a freezer-grade gasket versus thinner walls and a flimsy lid seal. Real-world tests show Yeti gets at least four days with a full block of ice; Coleman or Igloo struggles after 24 hours. But you don’t need a Tundra unless hauling for four or more — a Roadie or Ozark Trail rotomolded knockoff gets close for half the price.
