Mikejonce Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Speaking of coolers… Has anyone purchased the 55 quart Coho cooler from Costco? They have it on sale on their website for $139 but I believe you can get it in store for 119. I have been shopping coolers nonstop for the last few days and I’m starting to get paralysis by analysis. I just figured Costco is a safe bet and the cooler is Rotomolded sooooo…that’s good right? Trying to stay away from the $300+ coolers.

KamadoJones86 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I bought it before going on a lake trip last weekend from the store (yes it was 119 there) and it seems great. Pretty much identical to the $400 Yeti. My only problems with it is that its on the heavy side and the latches take a little work but that probably gets better as you use it. Overall, if you were ever looking for a Yeti to try, this is it at the right pricepoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralTexBBQ Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I'd love for it to have a larger capacity. That said, I checked it out yesterday and it seems perfect for hold a couple three briskets in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning about 85% toward buying it this weekend despite my desire for it to be bigger. Costco also has an igloo there but the quality difference is obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralTexBBQ Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Only three left here locally as of yesterday. Don't know why but I couldn't quite pull the trigger on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikejonce Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 So what’s going to be your solution? Grab the Yeti?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralTexBBQ Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Currently talking myself out of a Moe Cason brisket knife or a set of Cangshan kitchen knives. But, when I'm ready I probably will get it. While I prefer one bigger, I can still get three 55qts for basically the price of a Yeti 45qt. so, ultimately that'll be the deciding factor.

Mikejonce Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Indeed. I'd recommend it. Used it a couple of times at this point. That said, I'd recommend a cooler with wheels even more! Just so much more versatile. I'm keeping my Coho, but thinking about grabbing the Igloo trail mate to supplement for beach trips or larger parties. Great reviews, larger storage (75 quarts), wheels, and retractable pull bar. Checks all the boxes for me. Now just gotta come up with the $275.

keeperovdeflame Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I have a Coho that I bought at Costco last year. It is a light, soft sided, "roadie like" model. Works quite well. Easy to carry and fits well in my truck. No drain, but I use Yetti blue ice packs with it and it will keep drinks and such cold for fishing, picnics, and other day trips. This is what it looks like. I also have a Yeti Roadie, and a 45 gal. This is a lot easier to lift and carry when loaded. It is my go to for quick trips and smaller loads, actually don't use the Roadie as much as I used to.
