Always love the silly tests that don't take into account real world application.  Put those coolers in the sun, on the boat, sloshing around all day in the bed of a truck, and that's your test criteria.  There's more to a cooler than just how well it holds ice sitting stationary on a table being opened once every 4 days LOL

well I got bored and didn't even make it thru the introductions so can't comment on test criteria but I noticed that the yeti lookalike at Sam's club coleman or igloo???  wasn't representative of those in the test, and the igloo marine I didn't think that that was a High end unit.
But I do NOT think that you need real world applications to test and compare their ability to protect/keep stuff cold.  as long as all coolers are tested in exactly the same manner I fail to see what that is not a valid comparison.
