Yeti Rambler Bottle with Chug Cap
6 reviews
Multiple chug caps have failed, Im sick of having to replace them constantly. They are designed poorly, I know where they are failing and cant find a way to let Yeti know. For such a premium brand this is very poor. If you look at the thread you will see it is aligned vertically in three distinct spots with no overlap, meaning there a three… Read more
sections of the cap that are not as structurally sound. Because the internal thread is broken into three separate sections instead of one continuous ring, the cap gradually warps out of shape and starts leaking, which is a basic design flaw for such an expensive bottle. Such an easy fix, please redesign and let us enjoy leak free Yeti bottles.
We bought 4 Yeti Rambler water bottles (2 different sizes). On two of them, the small O ring inside the chug cap was missing, and one later fell out. Yeti will not send a replacement O-ring, and it is not possible to buy a replacement. Instead, Yeti suggests we buy a whole new cap. We bought Yeti for quality, and the bottles do keep water cold; however, the lack of attention to detail on the cap means that they can leak.
It keeps my water cold and fresh for hours, even on hot days. The insulation is incredible, and the chug cap makes it super easy to drink without spilling. The bottle feels sturdy and high-quality, perfect for everyday use or outdoor trips.
Excellent product, great cusotmer service and super fast delivery – Yeti is known for their quality products, I bought a drink bottle for my child for school. The product was exactly as I ordered on the Yeti website! This company works fast to get your order out for delivery. My order was received within one day of placing an online order, and we live in Regional NSW. Excellent customer service! Show details
Doesn't stay cold – I bought this particular drink bottle for my daughter who likes cold water. I splurged on a yeti, having had one of my own for a couple of years and thought it was good quality. Well her $49.95 drink bottle does not keep water cold, does not keep ice in it for long and the water is warm by the end of her school day. Mine keeps ice and the water… Read more
is cold. Not sure whether yeti standards have dropped or we just got a faulty one. I make it the same as mine in the morning and she does not open it during the day. Overall disappointed, I will go back to the cheap plastic ones and put it in the freezer.
Avoid - Seriously flawed overpriced product – Avoid this product at all costs. The tl:dr version - cap thread will strip. Known fault. Not 'dent proof'. We bought this as we'd read Yeti has a reputation for being well made and long lasting, so spent the hefty $85 on it. It was neither well-built nor long lasting, it was only expensive, and lived up to the yeti's other name: abominable. The… Read more
'dent proof' bottle dented and scratched after being dropped, while empty, from about 15cm. I could forgive it that, if that were the only problem. The chug cap is a flawed design that is well-known for failing. Firstly, the top cap and the spout cap pieces tighten in the same direction meaning that it can become very hard to remove from the bottle. However, that's nothing compared to the shoddy build quality. The thread on mine stripped after 13mths (not daily use). Once we googled the problem we found that it is a well-known fault, with the top option for warranty claims on their website being "chug cap" and many posts and even YouTube videos dedicated to how bad it is. The BCF staff member who refunded us (only after we showed them the ACCC website as they tried to make us go through yeti) even said "oh that's has happened twice to mine". Aside from the chug cap, the bottle is good. Keeps drinks cold for ages and I liked how easy it was to clean. However, I wouldn't say it warrants the hefty price tag. The cap needs a complete redesign. If you're willing to pay extra for a different cap - they sell alternatives, they don't come free/ as standard - then maybe I'd recommend getting it. For reference, I had an Avanti 1l bottle for 3 years, cost $30, and only got rid of it when I got this. Don't believe the yeti hype.
