YETI Roadie 48 Cooler Review! Is this cooler on wheels worth the $450 or should you save your money?

In this video we are taking a look at the new Yeti Roadie 48 cooler on wheels. We reviewed the younger sibling of this cooler, the Yeti 24 Roadie Cooler in Charcoal a year or two ago and have been loving it ever since.

It has been our go-to cooler as it has the perfect amount of storage, solid ice retention, and a small footprint so that it may fit within your vehicle. Perfect for road trips! (Hint the name roadie!)

This Yeti on 48 quart cooler on wheels is basically the 24 cooler scaled to twice the size and features a sleek telescoping handle that has plenty of length to provide excellent leverage when loaded down.

The biggest cons of this cooler are the price point ($450 at the time of this video) and heavy weight when loaded down.

The biggest pros of this cooler are the depth (near 15.5” of vertical clearance) and obviously the wheels. Also, a drain plug is included unlike the yeti 24 roadie! That’s a big bonus.

Our ice test showed the cooler capable of having ice storage for 4-5 days provided ideal conditions with a 70 degree climate. Expect to knock a day off in a warmer climate! On the other hand, we loaded the cooler full of drinks (approximately 60% of the space occupied) so it’s possible to get longer ice retention if you only occupied 50% of the space, 40%….etc!
