I purchased my Yeti last minute before a trip to Africa three years ago. I have dropped this thing on four continents. It has fallen off tables, desks, ladders, buildings, and vehicles. It was once run over and completely buried in mud and had to be extracted with a shovel. My shiny silver yeti is scuffed to heck and back and dented all over the bottom, but it still serves faithfully.

I left it in the hot sun full of ice one morning over a hundred Fahrenheit and found it again two hours later, too hot to touch but still frozen on the inside. I've had fire ants climb over my Yeti and my response was to kick it around like a football until every ant was gone, then pick it up, wipe away the dirt, and enjoy my ice cold water.

I carry this bottle with me literally everywhere. It follows me to work, to bed, on the plane and in the car. I frequently become annoyed when it's more than arms reach away from me.

I listen to my bottle now, and I hear a faint persistent squeaking. I fear I might finally have cracked the seal, and this is the sound of it slowly dying. If this is the end of my dear friend, the Yeti, I have no regrets whatsoever. I've never owned another product in my life that's served me so faithfully except perhaps my hand crafted leather wallet. This utterly humble water bottle has more character than everything else I own combined.

Keeps the water so cold I feel like I'm drinking directly from the teet of a yeti.

I bought this 36oz Rambler last year and made a huge upgrade with the chug top. This bottle literally goes everywhere with me...water for me, water for my dog etc. Three weeks ago while loading the car for a camping trip the unthinkable happened! I drove over my bottle in the driveway. I felt like I'd lost a member of the family until I saw my bottle - scratched, scraped, dented but still 100% usable. What a testament to Yeti's durability!

We own 6 or so Yeti products. A few are the bottles in various sizes and colors.
My 10 year old USED this 36oz bottle at soccer practice and games and hand washed it after with a sponge on a stick.
It was normally filled with water or Gatorade.
I hope this is a fluke as I said before we own more of there products.
It was bought at our local Ace hardware that's an authorized reseller.
Sent some email and pictures to Yeti no response.

If you asked me before the RUST if I would recommend the product I would have a yes

I'm happy with the new water bottle but it's hard to spend that kind of money and the paint around the edges isn't smooth. Just made it feel like a cheaper product.

Love the YETI products! I actually purchased this size YETI to limit the number of trips on my crutches to the water cooler at work after my 18 oz YETI rambler fell off the counter, onto my foot, breaking a couple bones! If the YETI falls, get out of the way! They keep drinks super cold/hot, depending on what's in it and can definitely double as a weapon if necessary

Just purchased this Rambler 36 oz bottle a couple weeks ago but the DuraCoat paint is already failing. Paint is splotchy, fading, uneven. I did wash it in the top shelf of dishwasher as the FAQ said this is an acceptable way to clean.

I recently lost my hydro flask and was looking for a replacement. My dad swears by yeti, in fact that's the only brand he will purchase from. He has a hydro too and says that his water stays colder longer in the yeti and id have to agree with him! I wish the prices were more similar to Hydroflasks prices but I'm very happy with the purchase!

Great jug! Buuuut is this covered under warranty?

I love my Yeti! This is the 4th one I've bought. I was only sad that I couldn't personalize it because of the color. But that's ok, first world problems, right?!
