There is a 8 day test on YouTube of the Yeti, Engel, igloo marine, IRP and Coleman Xtreme. I think the Coleman Extreme lasted longer than the Yeti. Engel better than Yeti.

Would Refletix work in a cooler?

I get a good solid 5-6 days out of my COLEMAN 5-day COOLER but my trick is to start out with SOLID ICE in the bottom of it. We will freeze up several milk containers filled with water before the trip Then fill up with cubed ice as we go into town etc...
We try not to open the big ice chest unless really necessary - That helps big time...
We also use a sealed plastic box in the top of it to store food etc in.
Two weeks with 90% ice still frozen sounds like a pipe dream to me but who knows what can happen these days haha...Roy Ken
My parents would always add a layer of newspaper to the top of the stuff inside the cooler. Never gave much thought to it as a kid.
I tried it this year and puting a layer of newspaper on top DOES increase the time your food will stay cold.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
