YETI Rambler Half Gallon Jug 2.0

This is my first disappointment with Yeti, after purchasing three coolers and five or six mugs the dog bowl, the outdoor blanket and more. It doesn’t leak as some have stated, and I don’t have issues with it holding ice I love the magnetic chug lid and use this at a ranch and side by siding multiple times a week. The frustrating thing is that one you put the lid on tight enough that it doesn’t leak it is all but impossible to get it off. The top ha the handle for leverage, but the stainless is so slick there’s no way to grip the jug to turn it. It just keeps sliding around in your hand… I end up draining and refilling it from the chug lid hole, but it should really be washed regularly. There needs to be a way to grip the jug. I would not recommend purchasing this product.

It’s worth noting that beyond carrying water, I’ve kept Mexican hot chocolate HOT for hours.. I’ve also kept jug in the freezer (without lid) for a day then added frozen (slushy) margs, 2 blenders worth) to it, added jug to an older Yeti 20l cooler by itself surrounded by ice and had frozen margs for 2 days of camping! Just bring sliced jalapeños, tajin for the rim and mezcal for a floater (buy this jug for more than water!) cheers!

I've owned this for quite some time. I've used it for hot and cold. The one main complaint is the seal. I have a weak abdomen which is why I bought this. Yeti tried making it was easy to open so I went with it. However, I've now popped a rib trying to get it open as of today. I bought it trying to reduce the tearing of my abdominal wall, since I have had multiple hernia repairs, but this beast just will not open. It needs to be re-engineered but there's not enough room for this machinist to leave his recommendation.

Its a beast, i have dropped it going 20 and its fine. Clearly mine is wayyyyyyyyyy cooler than yours though. I painted it and its a one off. Its just like yours but cooler.
