    If it were me, I'd just go with a fridge. Way less hassle.

    I have one but rarely use it.  It seemed like a good idea at the time...

    I have a metal one on legs and casters with a flip top that I bought at HD a couple of years ago.  It's ok.  I use it, it works, it holds ice and drinks for a day, but not really two in the summer heat.  Kind of an occasional use thing for a party that sits on the deck year round.  A real cooler is better IMO.

    I don't think you're a acumbag if you buy one of the RTIC's that isn't a direct Yeti copy. But I could be mistaken.

    Yes it does. And it's a shame that's the last post I made before I went airborne for a 1.5 hour flight so I didn't get a chance to correct it...

    I use a cooler a couple of times a year. I can buy a lot of ice for the cost of a Yeti. Nobody steals a cheap Igloo cooler.....in fact I have had people feel sorry for me and give ice to fill it up, guess they figure if the poor guy doesn't have an expensive cooler he must be down on his luck.

    I have something similar.  I have used it twice.  It is now a storage area foe many of my egg accessories.

    More specificity. Cooler as in a ice chest cooler or a refrigerator cooler?

    I thought maybe he was looking for an outdoor AC unit of sorts. Anything like that exist BTW?

    Have two friends that have outdoor/portable swamp coolers that work surprisingly well on their patios as long as the humidity isn't out of control.

    Homemade with an ice chest and fan. Or commercially with a portable Swamp Cooler/Evaporative Cooler or Spot Cooler.

    In the desert we use swamp coolers.  They work great to cool off your patio.

    Edit @Legume beat me to it.  He is right, they work great in low humidity.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.
