Yeti Hopper 30 at Marshall’s

[mmsmom]

Local Marshall’s had about 10 of the Yeti Hopper 30 coolers for $199. The tag says compare to $299 but price on Yeti website is $349.

I've seen them recently at Homegoods. I didn't know anything about them, so I thought that seemed pretty pricey...but perhaps someone can enlighten me as to what makes them great?

Any chance you know which version of the hopper it was... 20, 30 or 40?

I don’t own one but they have a big following for their ability to keep things cold for a long time, like weeks...At least the big hard sided ones do. The soft sided ones are lighter and also keep things cold for a long time.

Hmmm . . . might have to check this out over the weekend. One of these would make an excellent holiday gift for DH.

If I lived in a hurricane prone area I'd totally be all over this.

They have been in both Marshalls & Homegoods here for a few months.

Not exactly sure what the "hopper" is, but we won a soft sided Yeti in a raffle and were so excited.... until we used it. It is terrible. Not at all like the hard sided ones. It did not keep anything cold for our 4.5 hour drive. All the ice was melted when we got there.... and it leaked terribly! We called the company to send it back, thinking surely it was a fluke, and they said you have to FREEZE the ENTIRE COOLER for 24 hours before you use it. This does not work for me a.) because I'm unlikely to remember to freeze the cooler 24 hours in advance of me needing it and b.) even if I did remember, there's no way that sucker would fit in my freezer! For something SO expensive, it is a total waste of money in my opinion!

What? Who freezes a cooler?? Let alone a $300+ cooler. I don't understand how a company would produce something with those consumer expectations.

Thanks for that review… it sure makes the decision easy for me!
