The Cheapest Cooler From COSTCO! 🤨 Coho 24 Qt Injection Molded Cooler Review
I bought the cheapest cooler at Costco that looked halfway decent. Did it really leak the first time I used it? I tested this Coho 24 Qt Injection Molded cooler for myself and in this video I share the pros, cons, and how it compares to a much more expensive cooler like a Yeti Roadie 24.

Your gear reviews are hands-down the best on KZread. You explain the product, you do side-by-side comparison, you put it through the paces, and you show it in real life Situations…I.E… how many cans can actually fit, what’s left over for ice… Etc. I especially appreciated the comparison of hot tenting woodburning stoves.

Just picked this up on sale for $49.99. Watched your review after purchasing and I'm glad to hear that it seems to be a good product. Planning to test this out this weekend camping in 90+ degree weather in Idaho. Thanks for the detailed review. I learned a lot!

My pleasure!
That cooler is the perfect height to sit on, a major plus for me on a flat deck boat!
I thinkI’d want to see how it does in 80-degree weather with no shade. I’ve yet to find a cooler that does what it says. On a fixed income, that’s an important point for me. Thanks for a thorough review and I may consider this as a win and will purchase it. I hope it doesn’t fail me. I like the size - I’d rather have a cooler that’s taller and not longer so it fits in my car with less space. Time will tell, eh?

I bought this cooler last year. I think it gets the job done for the price. Mine must be a an older model. The latches on the one I have are solid plastic. Nice vest. I love Mountain Hard Wear. My favorite back country apparel

For the price, this is a winner that will be hard to beat.

Nuff said.
The big PLUS is its COSTCO you can return it in 2,3,5,10 years if it breaks anything. Will fit five 2 liter bottles with plenty of ice which is what I bought it for

Rtic just released a 22 QT Ultra light. Would love to see a comparison between this Coho 24, the new Rtic 22, and the Yeti Roadie 24. Liked and subbed your channel. Great content!

Having bought both the Rtic Ultra light 22 is awesome. Blows the Coho out of the water. The soft carry strap is fantastic. Spend a little more and get the Rtic, you won’t be disappointed!

Cooler is strong I'm 330 lbs and stand on it all the time
I guess my only issue with these coolers is that they’re marketed as a “day” cooler or something to keep your stuff cold for basically a few days..they do work (I have the small rtic version) but my Coleman will also hold ice for the day/few days as well 🤷♂️
I got the same cooler but mine has a big fish on the front . It seems to holding up so far
Just subscribed. What do you think of the handle from the plastic component? Looks like it would break over time? How’s it holding up for you?
@outdoorempirecom

Thanks for the sub! So far so good, no issues. I think the only way those plastic parts that attach the handle to the cooler will really break is if they get bashed on something and crack. Even then, they might do their job. I don't think it's a big deal, it's just not as smoothly integrated as some other coolers I've seen.
Wondering if the bigger one they sell (i think its 55qt) is equally as good. I saw you cut it in half in another video and it looks to have great insulation. This 24qt is too small for any need I'd use it for and I'm looking to upgrade a blow-molded igloo I have.

For the money the 55qt rotomolded Coho cooler is a good deal. It's not the best at ice retention compared to many other coolers I've tested, but it's still plenty good for most folks.
At 15:51 you're talking about injection molding and show the gray perimeter around the mouth of the cooler. Any idea what those four 1.5 inch slots are used for on the gray molding? There appears to be a matching groove on the underside of the white molding just beneath the slots. I don't see any accessories for the cooler and these slots must serve some purpose right??? I just got this cooler and I'm impressed with the features at $50!
@outdoorempirecom

The slots don't go all the way through, so I'm pretty sure they are just there for the manufacturing process. Probably places for tools to clamp the two parts of the cooler together.

Thanks for your reply! Proud to report a that this cooler has delivered on two very hot Texas weekends during my son's baseball tournaments. Pre-cooled the night before and packed with Titan Ice Packs (another Costco purchase).
The stability test sold it for me...lol....you can get a pretty good rock goin

It was a pretty serious test. 😂
$20 is the best I can do
Would you ever consider taking a sawzall or something and cracking a bunch of these open to compare the quality and thickness of insulation on the inside?

Anyway to add a carry strap to this instead of the handle?
@outdoorempirecom

The handle does bolt on in a way, so you could probably jerry rig something.
The yeti roadie 24 is not rotomolded!! At 5x what I paid for this cooler thats crazy. Yeti does not have a Bear proof cooler and aside from the roadie 20( no longer available) only the Tundra is bear resistant.

@outdoorempirecom thanks for the reply, tried a quick test with my coho 10lbs of ice and some drinks left in back of my truck under the tonneau Temps in the 70s kind of overcast, got three days of ice retention so I'm really happy with the purchase. As a note my drain showed no sign of leaking but it did sweat a lot.
$59!!!! For a leaky cooler?! * clicks off * 😂😂😂❤❤❤
