Igloo Yukon 150 Cooler {#Review}

**Full Disclosure:  I received a selection of Igloo products in exchange for my review.  No other compensation was received.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you look in my parent’s garage, you will see one side stacked (floor to ceiling) with coolers – most of them are Igloo.  If I need a cooler, I borrow one from Pop because if you come look in my garage, you will see two coolers – and neither of them are useful!  One is a soft-sided cooler bag and one is an OLD blue cooler and it doesn’t have a lid anymore (it came from Pop & my husband uses it to store ant bait).  It’s pathetic really!

Because my family and I are starting to spend more time outdoors (camping & whatnot), we really needed a cooler that would be conveniently located in OUR garage.  Igloo sent us the Yukon 150 to help solve our problems!

I an not sure what I was expecting, but I really had NO IDEA the Yukon 150 was going to be as HUGE as it is!

Our Thoughts: 

• I love that the Yukon 150 can hold ice for TEN days!  We only used it for 3 days and had no problems.  (We were camping with friends and their ice was gone by the end of the first day, so we made space in the Yukon.)
• The locks are super (they keep my kids out!) but can be difficult to open.  Although, now that I’m thinking about it, you probably WANT locks that are tight so that animals can’t get in your cooler!
• Additionally, on either side of the cooler there are lid locks which help keep your food safe.  You could also use these locks to chain the cooler down in the bed of your truck.
• There is a large drain on both sides of the cooler, which is great!  They make it very easy to clean & drain your cooler.
• I really need a TRUCK (not an SUV) for the Yukon 150, but the back end of my car closes, so in my opinion, it fits!
• The handles on the cooler are so COOL – they are long and wide and don’t move when you do.
• My favorite feature is that it’s made in the USA!
• There is a 5-year warranty on the Yukon 150.  I like that it’s longer than a 1-year, but I’d like to see a 10 or 15 year warranty.
• The cooler comes with a large sticker on top (you can kind of see it under my kid in the photo above) which I liked at first because it gave you all the information you’d need.  But when we took it off, it left a HUGE sticky residue which I have had a ton of trouble removing.

All in all, I’d say the Yukon 150 is an excellent product and I’d recommend it!  (Though, I’d say go with the 50 if you don’t have much space in your vehicle!)
