The same factory in China makes these things. One batch is branded Yeti. The next batch is branded Ozark. The next batch RTIC.
thats what i was thinkin
Kevin Thomas A lot of products are like that, as you know I'm sure. My mom used to tell me that many designer clothes are like that except for the label and care is taken to clip the hanging threads and to avoid even slight imperfections. Soo off to Wal-Mart I go.😊
The YETI factory is in Atlantic, Iowa - not in China.
B Ras actually, it's in china. their products say made in China now
Actually no they are made in China. Their website says cups are made in China. yeti.com/faq/ you're wrong B Ras. Only the coolers are manufactured in the US.
I have two Ozark Trail 30 oz tumblers and I work outside in San Antonio with about 100 degree heat and ice lasts all day as long as you refill it with very cold water . Great tumblers .
We got these Ozark Trail mugs as Christmas gifts in the office. They are awesome!! Everyone loves them.
We are addicted to the Ozark Trails cups! They also have a 30 oz size for $10. Totally awesome!
My friend gave me the original Yeti for my bday. I love it! I can put ice in my cup at 7am before I go to work and throughout the day just keep refilling with water. I don't put new ice into my cup until at least 7pm when I'm relaxing after work, and even then the original ice is usually still evident. That being said, this same friend bought two of the Walmart ones and they hold up the exact same!
notocha coe same. I’ll be at work and I’ll have ice from home and work mixed in. The ice lasts long
Great review. Picked up a Ozark Trails, and LOVE it! Take a cup of ice water to bed, and still have ice in the morning. They are a great deal.
Thanks for this Tina! I've never heard of the Yeti, but it's something my husband would love to have for Father's Day! I will definitely get the Wal Mart version-thanks!!
only difference is how much you want to pay for what says on the outside of the tumbler
Not a knock off... Unless you agree that the Yeti is a knock off of the original Thermos tumbler.
It's just another brand of double walled/insulated tumbler.
That said, I love my Ozark Trail. Works just as good as the Yeti, but for 1/3-1/4 the price
I have the Ozark Trail 30 oz ($10 at Walmart) and it works fantastic! There is no way I would spend the ridiculous amount of money for a Yeti when the Ozark works just the same. So, save some money and pick up the Ozark Trail.
I just wanted to say I owned a Yeti. I had mine customized in Cowboys (blue & silver with pink cause I'm a girl). My next customized cup will be an Ozark Trail though!
Thanks for doing this test. I was just getting ready to buy me a Yeti but I know where I'm going instead now...
people are starting to catch on to how good these Ozark Trail cups are because they completely sold out at Walmart in just a few days
Exact same and cheaper!
It's a pretty old design based on the double walled vacuum flasks of old. So you can probably pick up a double walled vacuum flask with a lid you can open to drink out of, for very cheap and it'll keep cold/hot for 12/24 hours depending on the design.
I've just seen these on Amazon UK, 2 for £13 (US$17); that's cheap consider it includes our 20% sales tax.
Luke Kleinhen I know right. I've been trying to get one.
***** In England, it's 20% or more everywhere in Europe.
Yep I have one, bought one for my brother 12 bucks each. They are under 10 now. I use mine 24/7. Hot drinks STAY hot and cold drinks take forever to melt ice. Does not water down soda as long as it's already reasonably chilled.
Christine Richard mentioned this video to me. Boy you did a great job. This morning, I compared the Yeti, to another one from Amazon. I thought I got a great deal on my 30 ounce knock off!! I really enjoyed your video, and subscribed to your channel.
Wow! I'm going to get my husband one for Father's Day.
I bet he will love it! 😊😊
Hi Tina, greetings from the UK to you! Thanks for this comparison - my family and I are holidaying in Orlando for my 50th birthday in July, so I'm going to be sure to head over to Walmart to pick up a few. Have a great day.
Ozark Trail is a brand that is sold at Walmart, but not a *knock off* brand. This cup is awesome!
Thank you so much for this video!! My mom was going to buy the YETI, but she decided on the walmart version. Thank you for saving her money!! Love this videos!!
From what I find, the value comes in not just the yeti name but the quality and the materials. I almost bought the Ozark Trails Rambler but then I read on the reviews that the OT lids pop off. The lid isn’t insulated like the Rambler Lids. They just have styrofoam.
I also thought I got a faulty Rambler and they sent me another.
OMG! Such perfect timing. Love it! Thank you Tina for reviewing this. I wanted to get hubby a Yeti for Father's day. I am going to get the Ozark one instead and save some $. Love all your videos Tina :)
Thank you for the comparison video. I am being the Ozark Trail for less than $10.00. I can even buy four Ozark Trails for the price of one Yeti!!!
Thank you tina for this review I ran to Walmart and got one for me and one for my husband who is always complaining about drinking hot water at work. He's a mechanical engineer so on the go always.
+Celina loveeeee it I got one too and it's super good. We're In Chicago and right now feels like 1000 degrees so it's perfect. I'm curious to see how the winter affects it.
Hey Tina..thank you so much for this review...I was thinking about the Yeti..I so enjoy you videos, keep them coming...
Honestly I just like yetis for the name.
Welinigh me to !! I want one called bigfoot now !
Wow...you can lead a horse to water smh
I like the name, not the price. Still considering buying one to see if there's a point. I've had Ozark trails before. Loved them. I have a Yukon outfitters tumbler that works just as well. An Extremus. Fact is unless it has the brand name BUILT, it will work fine. Temp is the real factor prior to putting the ice and drink in. Also I like the Ozark logo. It's nice. I am still thinking of getting a Yeti to try out. If it performs no different significantly I'm returning it.
they're made in the same factory. the 30oz yeti is the exact same as the 30oz Ozark, as well as the 30oz RTIC tumbler
Get a cheap kitchen scale, tare it with the cup and weigh out the ice so you have an equal amount in each, then weigh the melted water from each at the end for an accurate comparison. Mass is the best way to compare the before and after results.
I will say that my husband got an Ozark trail cup from his brother and it fell apart the very first time he used it. The yeti at least has a warranty for 5 years. I know I could buy like 4 ozarks for the price of the Yeti but it's annoying when you buy decals to personalize them and lose those as well.
I have a RTIC 30 oz tumbler that I bought on Amazon Prime Now for $16 and I got it delivered in 2 hours. It works great.
I Love My Ozark Every Morning keeps my Coffee Hot For Work.... 👍👍👍👍
Yeti is actually suing quite a few companies about the patents on those cups. I don't know what's going on. How Ozark and RTIC are getting away with selling the same exact design is beyond me. I know I'll be in Walmart getting me an Ozark cup.
The melt water is only accurate if you counted the ice cubes and put the same in each.
WHY do you think it wouldn't be accurate? It's measurable.
Gotcha! I clearly wasn't thinking it through thoroughly enough.
The ice cubes would need to be identical, which isn't likely. It's a moot pt though, as this test is good enough to show they have comparable performance.
Joni Wagner we all know you have a yeti .... You overpayed get over it.
It looked like ice from a refrigerator ice maker so the cubes should be similar but they need to be weighed to get identical amounts since they could have varying quantities of gas or other particulates.
None of the companies steel cups keep ice very many hours if they have drink in them and that's what counts not how long ice lasts alone.
Got the Ozark Trail knock off because of your video, and I freaking love it! Love your videos, thanks so much for making them so informative!!
That's awesome! They also have the Yeti cooler knockoffs :)
I can't believe you found one! They are completely out everywhere here
Ooooo!! Just ordered the 30oz tumblers on Walmart.com for local store pickup. So excited!! Got one for me & one for my daughter who is 30wks preggo and constantly drinking ice water.
I just got one of the Ozark Trail cups, and I simply love it!! Thank you for this helpful review!
WOW, that was a super review! I was going to buy a Yeti... not now! Hugs~ Lea
I don't even need to watch the video, I LOVE my Ozark Trail tumbler, it's $7.74 @Walmart!! & they have a bigger one for close to $10! They sell both in my local Walmart but are ALWAYS sold out online.
I bet they are! I can't believe what an awesome find these things are! :)
+Frugal, Fun, & Fabulous Yes, I have 3 of them. Hehe!! & 2 of the Bigger ones, I think they're 30oz.
We did Yeti comparison video too ! We love ours for coffee! It stays hot for hours!
I have the 30 oz Ozark Trail cup, my hubby has the 40 oz. We rarely use anything else now. Amazing value compared to the Yeti.
well guess I'm going to get an oazark. Thank you Wal-Mart for making it possible for us to get a high quality cup for an affordable price which is exactly why Mr. Sam Walton started Wal-Mart in the first place. You have restored my faith in Wal-Mart.
bought the 30oz cup yesterday and i got to say i am thinking about buying an additional one for a back up and i paid $9.73!
Thanks for the review! My sister-in-law has a Yeti (which she loves), but when I researched and discovered how much they cost, I was like, "I'll just refill my ice." :) But ten dollars I can do. Anyway, immediately went to order online, and they are out. However, the locator told me a nearby Walmart Neighborhood Market had them, and I stopped in this morning. They had an entire display! I purchased one for each member of my household, plus an extra for a gift. We are traveling soon to your area for summer vacation, so I am pumped! Thanks again!
how did you like the walmart version?
+Chris Seals I'm actually at Walmart right now, headed over to sporting goods to stock up.
Thanks!
Same with everything in life, your just paying for the name of something
Ty for comparing these tumblers. I really think the Yeti is way overpriced. I'm glad the Walmart one is so comparable.
tfs wow thats great for my Grandkids. For summit days at the beach.
I love this! I have had people swear by the Yet i and tell me I need to get one as I carry around a large Sonic cup which lasts me all day and keeps ice in it too. However, not 56 hours, but then I don't care about that long either. When I saw the knockoff at Wal-Mart, I laughed about it, but now I'll buy one of these and look "classier" than with my Sonic cup! : )
Yeti..... I knew nothing about this cup....Next time I'm at my Favorite Walmart I will be picking up ones TFS
I've seen several of these from different brands. I believe there is only one company and they make them all for everyone.
I wouldn't be surprised.
I have a rtic 30oz and it works great... I did a test against my sisters yeti and it did the same
Love this Tina!! Thanks for the review!
Thanks so much Carly! Glad you enjoyed! :) xoxo
I think my hunt for the perfect iced tea cup is over. I will be getting one on Friday before work and have my drink stay frozen all day.
I can finally throw out all my other cups.
but the deal breaker will be can it fit in the cup holder of my car.
they are prob both made in the same factory just rebranded
hey thanks for doing this comparison I'm gonna pick me up one at Walmart, also glad you mentioned it was in camping Dept 😁
Pamela M if you can find one at Walmart. good luck.
will definitely be getting one for my husband's birthday and one for me too 😊
Thanks for sharing ur test between them! I will definitely. be going to walmart to pick some up! I live n Texas so this will be a big help this summer. Thanks again
I've been on the hunt for the Ozark Trail 30oz but they are ALWAYS sold out at Walmart here. :( Thanks for the comparison vid!!
Wow that's a great deal. Thanks for sharing this video. I'm going to get one this weekend.
TheYeti is made from slightly better plastic but not worth the extra cost. Because it only hold up to "extreme" heat better.
Ozark Trail is not a "knock off", from what I understand is that Yeti let the patent lapse, so anyone that wants to can make their version.(IMO Knock off means an illegal version, which OzarkTrail is not.) I have the Ozark Trail and love it. Works just as good as the Yeti, but 1/4 price. I've also heard, and this is a rumor, that they are both made side by side in the same factory, just sold through different companies.
Not to mention it's just a dewar, I doubt they ever held a utility patent on it. They've been around forever. The Stanley thermos that's been popular for 50 years.. dewar..
thanks for this, sick of seeing YETI stickers on trucks and listening to guys saying how they need a drink cold for 6 hours. Especially if it is a coozie with a beer. Who nurses a beer for 2 hours?
Ha Ha I just saw an Ozark Trail coozie and that was my very first thought.
Great video!! Going to pick up one tomorrow. It's hot here in South Carolina too!!
Thanks Latisha! I bet it is! Hope you enjoy your awesome tumbler! :)
I will be at Wal-Mart tomorrow... I need that cup lol
Father days Gift..Thank you
Yep, the Ozark Trail cup FAR EXCEEDS any Yeti cup. Save yourself major money.
do a real test, the results will surprise you.
2 oz difference in the size up the cup will make all the difference in the world, i did a comparison with a yeti cooler and an arctic, 60l vs 65 and it is not even comparable. more volume makes the difference
That is amazing! I am going to get me one of those! Thanks for the review!
Thanks , this has helped me a lot !
love our YETI's. (live in AZ)
great video, we will be picking up an Ozark brand also.
Is it a possibility that some rain water entered the cups while outside altering the conclusive results?
I would never pay 40dollars for a yeti. I love my ozark trail, I even made a base with a handle for it and my drink stays cold for ever!
Its almost like its the same exact cup except one cost $30 due to marketing and one costs $10 because thats what its worth
The ozark works the same as the yeti. I have a ozark and it's not a knock off its quality!
a low thermally conductive plastic bottle made the same way would own YETI. its all about thermally isolating the fluid from the environment (these metal tumblers use a vacuum as the insulating layer; however, since metals are generally much more thermally conductive than plastics, these YETI things are a complete waste of money.
thank you for this!
I did the same test with the 30 oz tumblers. I put equal numbers of ice cubes in each tumbler and let them sit on the kitchen counter for about 8 hours. The same amount of water was measured for each product. Pretty sure that it's safe to say that they are both made in the same factory in China. $9.97 for the Ozark versus $40.00 for the Yeti. I went out and.bought six more Ozark tumblers.
Ozark Trail is it's own product, they are more than tumblers they sell full hunting , fishing gear
You can buy a better cooler for half the price of a Yeti and it works just as well. I forget the brand and it works fine.
Ingel makes a great cooler that's half the money and just as good of not better than the yeti cooler
Not a knock off!! Ozark trail makes good camping products just saying!! Good video
The moment you cut the video where you pour the water from the Ozark..lol.
Thanks for the review very helpful especially to my pocket lol
90-95 saying it’s a hot summer day plz come to texas😂
I’ll buy the bargain brand for $8.00! It looks exactly like a Yeti and probably is a Yeti for a fraction of the cost!
Does the Ozark cup not sweat as well? Does it keep hot drinks hot just as long as the Yeti? I bought the RTIC tumbler for half the price of the Yeti. But now I'm thinking I should've just picked up a few Ozarks instead lol
I bet they are good. But what about when you use them all day and open them up?
My husbands ice lasts almost all day with multiple water refills! I need to test out that as well. Maybe I'll do a follow up video. 😊
I have an Ozark and I fill it up with ice around 7:30am before leaving for work. I refill with water probably 3-5 times while at work ,and STILL have ice in my cup at 3pm in the afternoon.
I just purchased the 30 ounce Ozark Trail for $9.74 at Walmart, I use it all day with crushed ice refilling it with room temperature water bottles at least 4 to 5 times a day. I live in Louisiana, it's always hot and humid outside lol it typically lasts me my entire 8-hour workday then I top off the ice before I leave work and I still have ice at bedtime. It will normally melt that night but the water is still cold in the morning. Great purchase, buying one for my boyfriend as a gift soon. I know people with Yetis that swear by it but mine works just as good.
Good job on a nice fun video, I want one way. Off to Walmart.
Wow! Thanks for this review!! 😄
Thank you for this video! I am getting one asap!!
I can't understand why this is so shocking to people. I own an Ozark Trails and my wife owns a Yeti. They are identical! They are both made in China! What are the chances that they are made on the same exact assembly line, using the same exact method and the same exact materials? I would say those chances are pretty dang high! The only difference is the logo that is stamped in to each of them. The bottom line is this; the marketing department at Yeti deserves some sort of huge award for suckering everyone in to believing that these are superior tumblers. They had their awesome coolers to back up this claim, and yes...they are legit (I still wouldn't pay that much for a cooler though).
They are BOTH made in the same factory. That's why Yeti is suing Walmart
Keeps my hot drink HOT for hours.
Just wanted to let you know how awesome your channel is, love love love your haul videos! Thanks for sharing, it has definitely help motivate me with my own channel! Please keep up the good work :) xox..Page
Thank you, very much!
I actually got a MyBevi cup and works just as well also - want to say it was $8.50 ish? :))
i bought 4 for 10 bucks they were on sale and clearence at walmart
This is amazing. Thanks for this video!!!
And apparently they are both made in the same factory! Yetis get a better polish
Great review, thanks
Ok people, this is how the manufacturing of products work. Yeti or some guy invented the technology that makes this product awesome. Yeti or some guy patent the technology. Yeti charges $50 for their product. Yeti then licences their technology to manufacturer's and they make these so called "knock off" products like Ozark. Then Ozark sells theirs for $10. So people think that Ozark is going to put yeti out of business. No. What yeti is doing is double dipping because they are making money from licensing their technology and from people who will still fork out $50 for their product which is the exact same product as the $10 Ozark. Companies have been doing this for a million years. Now that I have seen this video I am going to Walmart to buy one of these Ozark beverage holder.
Prime example: Groceries.
There no patent for the technology, in fact it, you wouldn't call it technology really. Vacuum flasks were invented in the late 1800s. Thermos has been using it for over 100 years. I guess the vacuum seal could be patented?
Exactly, even the Stanley thermos that everyone's dad or granddad has is the same design. Can't patent a dewar.
