OT: Yeti's Rambler tumbler ("drinkware") is awesome

Sweet100s

Was at BBQ Outfitters on 620 in Austin, Texas a couple weekends ago.  Saw the 2XL egg.  Holy smokes! Didn't know that existed. 

Picked up a Yeti 32ox insulated tumbler.  It's been my permanent ice water glass since.  

It actually does keep your ice as ice and water cold for lots longer than plastic or glass. 
It's surprising to add ice and water before going to bed, and then still have the water be very cold at noon the next day.

Only downside:  
Directions say to hand wash.  It's not dishwasher safe.  Odd.  I don't see why it wouldn't be dishwasher safe.  Looks like a big mound of stainless steel. 

I've since tried to order the 20oz off their website.  However that version is out of stock

To the right of that Yeti tumbler in the picture is a cherry lime rickie with a water glass from Ikea that's a fave too.  I picked up 2 of those to replace 2 others.  Much prefer the Ikea model.  It's not in their catalog but saw it on sale at the Round Rock Ikea for maybe $0.99 or $1.50.   It has a pretty shape and holds more oz than most water glasses its size.

Regarding dishwasher safe: 
Likely due to the abrasives found in most dishwasher soaps. Over time and repeated washings, Hydroxides with grit can play a number on various types of stainless steel. Hand wash soft soap is better.

Hmm. I have been washing mine in my dishwasher for about a year now. No ill effects.

It is really the lid that is not dishwasher safe. The gasket is one of the major factors in the success of this product.   I use mine daily, as my water glass on long drive, my Adult-beverage glass on the week-ends.  Just awesome.   And while not cheap, when compared to a Turvis, with lid, the price is not that far out of bounds particularly considering how well the Yeti works....

@Sweet100s - the hardware store on 29th (breed and co) had some of the 20 oz in stock last week

I've been thinking about getting some of these as groomsmen gifts for the guys in my wedding. Good to hear the positive reviews.

I was just guessing. I had to develop a process for ultra thin layer UHD coatings on a certain grade of thermo-stable SS, and we found sodium hydroxyl (with grit similar to 2000-3000 sandpaper) preparation had scuffed the surface area too much for .001 mils to be effective.
I suppose if you keep enough Bourbon in it,  after each wash, it might be or should be ok.

@hapster (I think) talked me into buying 2 by showing his off. That was probably a year ago. Since then I have bought at least 10 as gifts for people. Still use mine every single day.

Have had the 30oz for a while now, use it as my water glass... just got a 20oz for the adult beverages. Broke it in last night with Tito's & tonic

I found that I don't have to refill my drinks as often with the 30 oz,  actually it save my about a third of the trips back to the drink station....

Love mine!  Had to get one of each.

I picked up a couple last weekend too.  The wife and I are really loving them.  They definitely keep ice longer.  I could fill a turvis with ice water just before bed and all the ice is gone by morning.  I had a cup of ice water in my yeti all day, drove around in the jeep with the top off, took it to bed and there was still a tiny bit of ice left in the morning.  

One word of caution is they do dent fairly easily.  Careful when handling with adult beverage .  I dropped mine from just a couple of feet and it hit the bottom corner so now it is a little wobbly.

Picked up two at Bucee's in TX, and I can attest that they do work as well as described.

Well I joined the Yeti cult on Thursday.  1ea both sizes.  Ice lasts forever.

we're tervis fans as well and the slide on handle for their big 24oz tumbler works "ok" with the 30oz.  It doesn't quite slide up high enough on the 30oz , and the lower part of the handle secures nothing but it works.   Yeti needs to make a slide on handle.

love the product though.  I now want a Roadie!   I swear,  I live near BGE HQ, i go to their classes and I feel like I'm willingly signing up for Scientology material. Now I add the Yeti cult facination.   

It's sick to like really good stuff. :-)

I couldn't convince myself to spend the cash on one, but got one on my birthday.  I had to buy SWMBO one a week later.  They really work great.  I fill it with ice to take to work and it always lasts all day with multiple refills.  My favorite trick to show is when I sometimes leave it in the truck, then get it three hours later, I can't pour a single drop of water out of it - all is still frozen.

I've never had water in mine...

Ice counts

Just back from a 6,300 mile trip. That 30oz was in the cup holder every mile. Outstanding. 

EggHead_Bubba

A Yeti cup is on my wish list. I'll probably have to settle for the 30 oz. but if they ever come out with a 40 oz. that would be perfect for me!

My 30 is attached at the hip.

  ...You must have some huge "mitts".. I can't imagine trying to hold a 40oz.

If I did that w/ my Tito's and GFruit I could tell SWMBO that I'd cut my drinking in half from 4 drinks to two! 

Hmmmmmm

EggHead_Bubba

@johnmitchell... lol, yeah.

EGG_Daddy

Picked up this 64oz HydroFlask the other month.  Great for outside work.  I don't have any Yeti products yet.  However, whenever I see them in stores I start to salivate like I do with Chicken Wings.

Local retailer?

Academy Sports and Gearhead Outfitters carry a good stock around here.

Thanks eggpharma.

Argh!  I was just near there yesterday!

I have a 30oz for home and a 20oz for work/car. Great products.

I have seen them around me at Dicks Sporting Goods recently (bought the coozie there), but I haven't seen regular Yeti cooolers there.

dishwasher safe mine has yet to see soap in the sink, just a quick  rinse under water and its good to go

I just picked up a 30oz yesterday to test it out and see if it'd make a good groomsmen gift. It held ice and water parked in a hot summer car for 6 hours, and still had enough ice to chill a mixed drink when I got home. Then I refilled it and it chilled ice water overnight no problem with hardly any meltage. I can see why you guys like this so much!!!
