“It keeps water so cold, and ice doesn’t melt; waking up at 3am to pee for the thousandth time, and my water still being ice cold, is amazing.”
“I never really notice the difference between the yeti and the Ozark”
“For thirty-five dollars plus tax and shipping, this tumbler shouldn't leak a drop, ever.”
“I have noticed no real difference between my old black Ozark cup and my different Yeti's besides the price”
“My wife loves [Yeti tumblers](https://www.yeti.com/en_US/drinkware/rambler-30-oz-tumbler/21070070024.html#pos=7), not because the tumblers are any better than other brands, but because the magslider Yeti lids are better. Magsliders don’t leak and are easy to open and close one-handed.”
“I don't imagine the others could make me happier at 5x the price”
“I have the 30 oz Rambler Tumbler and really like it, but my one complaint is that it is a pretty heavy cup when it is full of ice and liquid. I think the 20 oz would be more practical.”
“I use my 30 oz Yeti Rambler all day every day. If my house was burning down, I’d probably grab it on my way out the door I love it so much.”
“You saved me $20, was ready to order the Yeti”
“yeti products usually get out performed with RTIC and ozark trail”
“while it does an amazing job at keeping drinks cold, I have not been brave enough to try hot drinks in it because mine is the older version that didn't have the slider for the opening. But even the updated version is definitely not leak proof”
“Love mine and yes they are advertised as not being leak proof like the screw on caps.”
“Same. Damn. Thing. Except for branding logo.”
“they're very solid, I have their tumblers and bottles for everyday use”
“Yeti Rambler 30oz tumbler fits perfectly. The wide top fits under the lip where the seat warmer button sits. Unfortunately doesn't keep water as cold as a sealed bottle but I think the tradeoff is worth it.”
“Only point is its not worth the extra cost, the cheap ones I have work just as good as the high price”
“the 20 oz and 30 oz tumblers fit in car holders. Not leakproof, but if you’re careful, you wont spill. Coffee for me has stayed piping hot (put it in at 6 am) for several hours”
“The hydro Flask and Yeti ones seem more secure but with hydroflask you need a whole different mug”
“The leaning is a huge deal breaker for me so I will steer clear”
“Yeti Rambler still keeps ice for a very long time and is much easier to drink from. It's easier to clean and fits in my cup holders.”
“I switched the O-Ring back on day 2 today, and it's fixed.”
“**YETI Rambler 30 oz stainless steel vacuum insulated tumbler** \- the #1 reason is it keeps cold liquids cold, and hot liquids hot, for a decent amount of time. So I can put ice water in it, or hot coffee or soup. It easily fits in my cupholders in my vehicles. It's very aethetically pleasing and I love the teal color. It's also the best tumbler that I'”
“I think a handle would make it better”
“I’m not a fan of the 30 oz ramblers”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“In fact, I bet if you go buy a new version of the exact same Yeti tumbler you're using and look inside both, your current one will be noticeably brown-er than the new one.”
“It is easy to throw in my bag and not worry about it leaking, something I wouldn't do with the yeti..”
“Have washed my 30oz rambler three times, once on sanitize, and after the water sits for about 6 hours, it starts to taste bad.”
“I have the same problem, if I set it down anywhere makes a loud "TANG".”
