Ozark Coolers from walmart

[Bigcountry40]

We bought a ozark 60 quart cooler (yetti knock off) with all the bells and whistles (roller wheels, extendable arm, bottle opener, drain, locking latches), all of the features worked very well other than keeping ice frozen. We bought 3 7# of ice Sunday at noon and they were all completely melted within 24 hours. Do not buy a ozark from walmart if you are expecting long lasting ice. We are returning this product tomorrow. I give this product a 1 out of 5 and do not recommend this product.

Mine works great

I have the soft one as a lunch box and agree, they suck and only look like the others.

Sure if you aren’t in it all the time it’ll hold ice, but most coolers at that price will.

They should’ve stopped at the tumbler.

Mine had ice in it the whole weekend of the family outing, and 3 days after, up until Wednesday I believe.

Did you latch the lid? [emoji23]

Good deal, like I said, if you aren’t in it all the time, they work fine. Someone like Jon and myself, not so much. Between cold beverages and kids...don’t expect it to hold ice. It’s a cooler for under $100, it’s what you get.

Another part of that is temperature of the cooler when you fill it and what you fill it with.

I paid $160 for mine.

I use to work for a company that supplied yetis plastic. I've seen what they put in between the plastic, ain't nothing but 1.5" insulation.

Sounds like both of you should've jumped on the RTIC sale when they had it last year

Like I said, there's nothing wrong with mine. It works for what I need it for, and I rarely use a cooler.

Congrats are in order I suppose

It does have a "Cool-down" period after you fill the cooler. And if everything you put in it is warm.....the cooler is going to look like a POS.
Hopefully this is the case John and you end up liking it more.

Even if I put mine in the freezer at night, it still doesn’t compare to my soft sided RTIC.

It's a cooler, it's better than the igloo I had before.

I use a cooler as much as the washer and dryer.
