Are Yeti travel mugs worth it? That is the question we're looking to answer today. The Yeti Rambler line of travel mugs and thermoses has become a cult hit in the cottaging and outdoors community. Do Yeti products live up to the hype? Today we will be reviewing 3 travel mugs from the Yeti Rambler line of products. We'll test heat retention, build quality, and functionality, and answer once and for all the question, are Yeti products worth the price?

That is expected with the Magslider lids. They are not a full seal.
I have several Yetis and they are worth the investment . I am a big coffee drinker and the 20 oz rambler not only fits perfectly in my cup holder but it fits the Keurig perfectly. I take one with me and sometimes will leave in my car on a cold winters day and when I return sometimes an hour later it’s still hot when I properly close the magslide. I now have two 20 oz, two 14 oz mug with the handles and I ordered a 12 oz with the hotshot lid. We also have the larger one with the straw lids for water
I use my 30oz for coffee at work every night and love it. Had it for years and still good as new!
Great review! I ended up buying the 20z rambler in the light blue color and I absolutely love it. I’m not a coffee guy but I do drink tea and it keeps my tea warm all morning when I’m at work (I work outside) I’m very happy I got one 👍🏾
After seeing several vids in youtube about yeti rambler mugs this is the review I needed to see, thanks man!

Just got one. Kept coffee warm for 2 hours but not what I would consider hot. Still better than a regular cup though.
Just picked up my first Yeti today. I got the 30oz rambler in blue with the handle. Love the sturdy construction.
Idk with that magslider lid a couple drops spilled is not anything I'm gonna cry about. Also with mine if I turn it upside down it might drip a couple drops but then it seals off.
My Yeti keeps my water liquid for several days. Amazing!

"Down to the dock" as you're in full winter gear and it's snowing outside, lol.. I'm torn between the canteen and the 20 oz mugs. I really wish they'd come out with different lids like the clip ones instead of the slides. That's the only reason I haven't bought another one.

I have the 20 oz Rambler. A slight leak. Does the bottom come off and repairable?
The 30oz travel mugs mag slide is leak proof. It’s because the main lid screws down on the cup unlike the rambler which is just a push fit. Had my 30oz for a year and use it every day. It’s still good as new. When I bought mine my wife thought I was crazy as you can get travel mugs for a fraction of the price. But she has since bought 2 since I got her a yeti bottle for her birthday. Deffo worth the investment.
Gorgeous water bottle and mugs. To use it enjoy life.

I finally bought the 10oz last month under immense peer pressure. I went for it because it was on sale, but otherwise couldn't rationalize the price. All I can say, is that they aren't quite worth the hype, and they are expensive for what they are, but at the end of the day, it is a nice mug. Feels nice, looks good, and gets the job done, but it's almost more of a social statement, then essential field gear. In any case, good review. Thanks fort the content.

Anybody else gets a TheDooo vibe when watching these videos?
The Walmart Ozark's offer the same exact effectiveness at keeping liquids warm and cold (actually slightly better). I've yet to see any comparison videos of the Yeti Rambler vs a knockoff but I'm guessing the Yeti's aren't much better. You're paying 4x the price for the same product, probably made in the same factory. Save your money people.

I got a black yeti rambler 36oz, and after maybe 4 hours, the water was still as cold as it was in the fridge. Around 25c room temperature, but a bottle of water would not last an hour until it lukewarm. It met my expectations well.

The Yeti Bottle has very similar heat retention to the Zojirushi, but no spout to drink from The Ramblers have impressive heat retention given their simple lids and wide mouth design, but are not as good as the Bottle or Zojirushi. Also, the leakage issue shown in this video is a notable downside of the Ramblers, depending on your use case. Overall, the Yetis are good for the office, or sitting around a campfire, but not so much if you want to throw a full thermos is your backpack without leaks.

Then, add the hot coffee or hot tea! What kind of procedure would be necessary ? What could be wrong with what I'm doing ? Do I need to sacrifice a lamb ? The temp was hot & steaming when I put it into the tumbler. Less than hour later, it was tepid at best, barely warm & I poured it into a plastic cup & reheated it, once again, to steaming hot. Then, once again, it stayed hot for less an hour. Sorry, but I am very disappointed. It doesn't live up to the hype !!

Well as you can see in this video, sitting in the snow in 0 degree weather, the tumbler lost less than 3 degrees over 20 minutes. So I find your claim that your coffee went from hot to lukewarm in less than an hour a little obtuse... perhaps contact the manufacturer if you think its defective. I'm not saying Yeti's have any life changing performance, but even a $10 thermos wouldn't be lukewarm after an hour...

You didn't test how _long_ the mugs can retain heat. That's one of the major appeals of insulated mugs. Excellent ones can keep drinks hot for 6+ hours while bad ones will be far less.
@LifestyleLab_
Жыл бұрын
Yes I did, it’s a main part in this video… I just didn’t do it for 6+ hours. Instead I did it for a shorter duration in a low temperature ambient environment. Heat resistance of an insulator will be the same at hour 1 as it is at hour 6, only difference is the temperature delta across it. (Hence why people think thermoses keep things cold longer than they keep things warm, the temperature difference is just smaller between a cold liquid and room temperature than a hot liquid and room temperature) The Yeti thermos can easily maintain a very low temp loss after 6+ hours. The others with their open lids will perform worse (as shown in this video)
@Tatertot01
Жыл бұрын
@@LifestyleLab_ Yea I saw but you can't judge heat retention quality after just 20 mins. I don't know much about heat resistance of insulators but I've owned enough mugs to know that temps can vary wildly and will be VERY different after only 20 mins compared to 6 hours. I've watched several other video reviews of the Yeti and one test showed from a starting temp of 168F it dropped to 124F in 4 hrs. A 44 degree difference is not insignificant or what I would consider very low temp loss. 124F coffee isn't very hot. After 6+ hours it would have undoubtedly been worse. You can't assume things based simply on principles. It has to be tested. All mugs aren't built the same. Assuming the temps will be close after 20 mins. and 6 hrs. without testing doesn't make sense and is clearly wrong.
@LifestyleLab_
Жыл бұрын
I’m an engineer, I understand physics. If we calculate the rate of heat loss over the first 20 minutes to get a thermal resistance for each mug, that can absolutely be used to extrapolate to 6+ hours if the environmental temperature remains the same. That obviously wasn’t done in this video, so I’m sharing with you that from my real world experience with all three of these. The sealed thermos performs very well over long durations (6+ hours). While the others not so much due to their poorly insulated lids. This was the point of the demonstration in the video. For those drinking their beverage within the first hour, not those looking to store it all day. That’s not what 2/3 of these are designed for…
Make a real review. Try to see how warm they are after 6 hours compared to a 40$ less thermos. I will never buy another Yeti mug, it was just a fad. I have 3 yeti's and the thermos brands beat all 3 hands down. Now they do make one of the best coolers.

This is probably the worst travel mug/tumbler I've ever purchased. The features are not helpful in the least, it doesn't keep hot beverages hot for 4 hours, it actually steadily gets cooler until the 4-hour mark. The lid does leak so how is this even remotely helpful for a travel mug? The plastic lid is pretty regular, there is nothing spectacular about it either. Personally, I feel that the Yeti brand is highly overrated and that people are just getting caught up in the consumerism element of brand names - Yeti is the brand of the day that's all this is.

The locking sip clip kept it from being accidentally slid open when riding around. Now if you do tip it over it will leak just a tiny bit.
