I'm curios about opinions on these 2 coolers. macks p. w. has them with free shipping right now. The Engel has thicker insulation on the bottom. its 2" all the way around compared to the Yeti with only 1.5" on the bottom and 2" on the sides. And the Yeti has a bigger price tag. opinions?

watch that video of the coolers. i don't car for the latches on the engel. have two yeti coolers right now the oldest one is 4 years old. and have not had any problems with it. if i would have had a competitor cooler i would have gone though at least three if not four of them in four years.

On cheap cooler i would where out hinges and latches. just about one per year.

Never heard of Engel before either but I can say you can't go wrong with the durability of a Yeti. I have a 105 and am amazed at how long it will keep ice compared to my last 5-day cooler from another top brand. They are a bit heavy, but you get what you pay for and in the long run it is a wise investment.............

Not sure on the Engel's (never heard of them), but I will give you this- that is a good deal on the Yeti's. I have been checking them out online all over the place and that is the best price I've seen anywhere (when factoring in the shipping).
