YETI Roadie 24 | Smaller Cooler Comparison | Which YETI Cooler Should I Buy? 

Which YETI Cooler fits your needs?

Great comparison of the different models. Love the new Roadie 24 but the lack of a drain is a total fail.

The only downside to the M30 that I have found is loading it up. The magnet closing it shut can be a bit annoying, if you don’t have an extra pair of hands or something wedged inside to keep it open. On the other hand, not having to worry about people not closing the zipper is nice.

Within the past 2 months I’ve gotten the 24, the hopper 12, the backpack cooler, and 2 lunchbox’s😅 + some ramblers and can holders… love yeti wish I could have one of each cooler!!

I like how fast you talk. Straight to the point and don’t waste any time. Great video thank you my friend!

I have the M30 and absolutely love it! Did a makeshift ice retention test and got about 4 1/2 days out of it before it was totally melted. It's worth every penny.

A cool addition to your video would have been to see how the roadie 24 fits in your vehicle

The zipper was the deal breaker for me, I traded in mine soft cooler for the Roadie 24 and I really like it!!!

It is important for people to know when it comes to the m30 that when you load it up it does get a kinda awkward bag shape to it that gets awkward to carry

The new m30 2.0 is AMAZING!! They fixed the issue with loading the cooler and the magnets now stay open somehow so you an load it up then the shut close like magic!!

This is one of the best breakdowns out together. SO helpful! Especially with the 2 liter bottle comparison!

Tundra 65. Flip 12. Roadie 24. Good having all three for different purposes.

I like the roadie 24. The dry storage roadie basket you can buy for it is a nice addition for fruits and other snacks.

I have the yeti 24 and I love it. I own a landscaping business and its been keeping the ice cooler and longer for about 2-3 days. fits In the back of my F-250 Extended cab.

This is an amazing review. Straight to the F**king point!!!!

I got my flip 8, perfect for me as a lunch box for work.👍

Good comparison, Dustin! We have an old Igloo that's about the same dimensions as the Roadie 24. I love the fact it can handle a tall bottle standing up, but didn't make it past 1 1/2 days of 80' heat and food was basically warm, not good, so we just bought the Roadie 24. In 15 or so years we've had the old tall Igloo, or our Playmate, I have never wished it had a drain. I don't think a small cooler really needs one. By the time you load food and drinks in it, there really isn't a lot of room left for ice, so we tend to use a little ice mixed with Blue Ice freezer packs on top. Whatever ice melts leaves water only on the very bottom where the cans are anyways. I will say that fitting the Roadie 24 in the space behind the front seat of our 4Runner is a no-go unless you move the front seat much farther forward, whereas our old Igloo fit perfectly.

You can fit a hell of a lot more in the m30 than people think. My usual is 1 4lb ,1 1lb of yeti ice on the bottom, 24 cans (bottom fits exactly 19 cans standing up), a 2 lb yeti ice on the top of the cans , dump in a bit of ice, then 10 Capri suns for the kids and top it off with ice . So I estimate 11 to 12lbs of ice alone since I always buy two 7 pounders and have some ice left in the bag . But damn is it heavy lol. I usually have it on a wagon anyway. That always gets me 58 hours of ice retention , a little more than 3 days of cold drinks which I tested quite a few times. The roadie 24 you can also fit quite a bit. You can easily fit a yeti ice 4lb pounder 24 cans on top of that and some ice on top. If you don't use ice you can use another 4 lb yeti ice or ozark trail 4 pounder. Thats good enough for a day or two if you prechill your drinks. I never prechill my coolers though. If you use the recommended ice ratio of course you'll get more out of it. With that said compared to the m30 my otterbox trooper lt30 actually gets better ice retention of 64 hours . It beats it by 6 hours....They both have the same 30 quart capacities. But I still choose the yeti, I'm worried about the otterbox latch breaking if some else operates it other than me. Yeti you just don't worry about it. But the exterior of both are exactly the same rugged materials. In my opinion for soft coolers the otterbox box trooper is the only one thats comes close to yeti as far as quality.

I bought the yeti backflip 24 (best cooler ever) Just ordered the flip 12 for work now when I go out for a trip the 12 holds the food and backflip holds the drinks 😎

Straight facts, no BS! Greatly appreciate the no nonsense video. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I’ve got a Hopper two 30. I wish it was the flip 18.

I got the M15… it’s perfection

Best review I have found, it covers all the ones I’m debating on. Thanks 👍🏻

I got one for Xmas and it still has the tag on it. The first 2 C notes gets it, Seattle area.

Thank you for this! One of the more useful reviews out there when trying to figure out which one to buy.

Really helpful information, thank you! Was having a hard time deciding what size to get.

Dustin, you just convinced me to get the M30 and I wasn't even aware of it, until I saw your awesome review. Thanks 😎👍

I hate the lack of drain spout in the roadie 24. It also tips over every time I go anywhere.

exactly the video i needed to see. Would love to see you compare Yeti to Canyon coolers

Just bought the roadie today

Good review and comparison on all four coolers. I would like to see a comparison on the old and new roadie!

Legit best review out there of the sizes!

I got me the 24 yesterday from Hawaii🌸

now this is what I call a comparison! Good info. thanks. Now can you please give me a half price yeti bag ?

How will I choose?! I'm thinking I'll just buy the hopper 18 for me and the roadie 24 for my boyfriend 🤪

Excellent review! The best I've seen. Important point about wine bottles and now II know which one to get! Thank you!

Love the Roadie 24. Is the Yeti cooler my family uses the most.

Zipper broke on my hopper 30 yeti replaced it with an m30!

How does the roadie 24 carry fully loaded up? say if you had to walk a couple of hundred meters to a park?

Great review. Just bought the roadie based off your rec!

Excellent review man! I think for my purpose the Yeti Roadie 24 is more than enough. I was looking at the Yeti 35, but I didnt realize that the Roadie 24 was actually that big!

Great video man, was just looking for this exact style video and yours popped up. Great comparison

Great video. But are they equally good for warm food?

Flip 12 can fit Mickey size bottles

Does anyone here have a Roadie 24? If so, how does it fit in a sedan type trunk? Will it fit standing up in the trunk?

Thanks for the additional details on bigger bottles. What would you say about capacity for beer bottles?

Anyone have the roadie 20 and 24? Im torn between which one to purchase..

You should do this more often. Very informative.

Are you going to review the new M30 and M20?

solid review, great coverage

Luv my Grizzly Cooler, made in USA an Easy replaceable rubber straps' Quality Made Coolers. 💪🇺🇲

Does the Roadie 24 hold a bottle of wine that is open with the cork in it?

Backflip 24😎😎😎

M30 is calling my name

I love this, thanks!

Great review, just one question ,how long does the ice last on each, approximately mas o menos? Sorry , more or less.

Great review brother

Super helpful, thanks!

This guy said that yeti coolers don’t leak well my yeti roadie 24 tipped over and it lead some water it coming out where they patched the two ends of the seal, make a video on that

Great video thank you sir

Great review

Bought a pelican

Well done.

All the yeti hard coolers will leak if you tip them upside down

My tundra 45 leaks less than year old

Good video

Between the 2 flip coolers, do both hold 12 oz beer bottles? Great information btw. I was curious about the M30 too.

Why can’t you buy wine in a six pack of bottles……..like sodas? 🤷🏼‍♂️

All the hard coolers leak. They are designed to let air out so you can use dry ice with them. Also they won’t create a vacuum inside.

Music is way to loud.

good content but camera angle too high and crooked. easy fix though.

Just cans in these? Nope, also wine and liquor. No room for carrots and sandos

Bottle of wine will fit in the flip 12

PLEASE turn DOWN the intro music

Didnt really clear much up

Only Roadie 20 owners will disagree with you on the new 24.. I love the handle on my Roadie 20

Most over price cooler ever.

Answer: None. Buy an American made cooler that costs a fraction of Chinese made Yeti and performs just as well; Lifetime!

Zipper on the Hopper blows
