The one thing the Yeti really has over the Ozark Trail mug, in terms of performance, is the slider on the lid. Additionally, when holding each tumbler, I couldn’t feel any heat or chill through the material, which makes either ideal for drinking exceptionally hot or cold drinks. Frankly, that is an insane amount of time for ice to not melt, and your drink will surely stay cool for several hours beyond that.Īll in all, both mugs do an incredible job at insulating both hot and cold drinks for hours on end. The temperature started to rise significantly for each tumbler after about 15 hours, which is when we can assume the ice finally finished melting. Spoiler alert: it happened at the exact same time. Thankfully because of the temperature data loggers, I was able to get a good idea of when the ice melted for each. By the time I left the office about eight hours later, the ice still wasn’t entirely melted and the water levels in both tumblers seemed to be at the same level. I started the test first thing when I got to the office and was waiting for hours on end. Watching ice melt was probably the most difficult task of the tests I performed-only because it seemed to take forever for the ice to melt in each tumbler. I’ll pause for shock value, but there’s no real difference between the two other than the price tag and that the Yeti is dishwasher safe. The only real physical differences are that Yeti has a slider on the lid and they have different logos adorning the cups (obviously).Īfter extensively reviewing the data from the travel logger, we found that-drumroll, please-the two tumblers performed exactly the same. They’re the same size and shape, are made of stainless steel, and have similar sip tops. Putting them side by side, the Yeti and Ozark Trails tumblers look exactly alike. How the Yeti and the Ozark Trails tumblers stacked up I also took into consideration how cold or hot to the touch each tumbler was when filled with liquid and tipped each one over to see if they would leak. To determine how long it takes ice to melt in insulated tumblers, I put 30 ice cubes in each tumbler along with the data temperature loggers and monitored the temperature each mug maintained as the ice melted over a roughly 15-hour period. Then I did the same test with cold water from the same coolers. To test these bad boys beyond just drinking out of each one, I decided to find out how long they would keep cold water cold, how long they would keep hot water hot, and how long it would take for ice to melt.įor the temperature tests, I filled each tumbler with the same amount of hot water from our office coolers and recorded the temperatures over a 24-hour period using these super cute little data temperature loggers. To see if the Ozark Trail tumbler actually was just as impressive as the Yeti, I decided to pit the two against each other in a few tests. You do get a few color options with the Ozark Trail and it comes with a lifetime warranty to boot. The Ozark Trail is not dishwasher safe and also shouldn’t be cleaned with bleach or put it in the microwave or freezer. It’s also BPA-free and has a “no sweat” design, but doesn’t have a slider on the lid. On the other hand, the Ozark Trail tumbler is made of high-grade, double-walled stainless steel and is vacuum-sealed-so pretty much the same as the Yeti. It comes in a few fun colors and there’s also a five year warranty that comes with every Yeti purchase. The Yeti is also dishwasher safe, but you should never clean it with bleach or put it in the microwave or freezer. It’s claims to be BPA-free and has a “no sweat” design, which keeps fingers dry. This allows hot drinks to stay hot and cold drinks to stay cold, and it’s “MagSlider Lid” helps prevent heat or cold from escaping but won’t entirely prevent spillage. The Yeti Rambler tumbler is made with kitchen-grade stainless steel and has double-wall vacuum insulation. The Yeti Rambler tumbler comes with a slider on the lid.
