Yeti Vs Simple Modern

I will be comparing two products that I use every day I am sure you use them also. I have a Yeti 30oz tumbler also a Simple Modern 30oz tumbler. Yeti was founded in 2006 by two brothers Roy Seiders and Ryan Seiders. www.Yeti.com The Simple Modern did not have a founded year or who started it on their website or any website. www.simplemodern.com With these two tumblers, they are very similar and very different at the same time. I drink a lot of water and love my coffee first thing in the morning. When I drink coffee, I want it hot to the last drop. If I am drinking water from a tumbler I want is cold. So, these tumblers give me the best of both worlds.

Let’s start the comparison of these two tumblers. The Yeti 30oz tumbler will cost you $29.99 -$39.95 depending on where you get it. Wal-Mart sells them on-line for $39.99 www.walmart.com, and Moosejaw www.moosejaw.com has them for $29.99 with Yeti there is only one color and that would-be silver. Wal-Mart has Simple Modern on-line for 17.99- $19.99 a wide range of colors. Simple Modern can be bought on-line at Amazon.com on sale $19.99 in a wide range of colors.

The Yeti is 30oz and has a clear tight-fitting lid with a hole where you can place a straw or a lid with a slit where you drink. The Simple Modern tumbler is 30oz and has a tight-fitting lid with a slit for drinking, and you can place a thin straw for cold drinks.

When you add cold liquid to the Yeti tumbler, it does not sweat on the outside of the tumbler. The Simple Modern when you add cold liquid it does not sweat either. With other tumblers or plastic cups after about 30 mins, you start to get condensation on the outside of the cup. That is a good thing that does not happen with these two tumblers. When you add Hot liquid to the Yeti, the outside of the tumbler does not get hot to where you cannot hold it. The Simple Modern tumbler is the same. I enjoy adding coffee to my tumbler, and I carry it around, and the outside of the cup never gets hot or warm to where I have to change hands.

With both tumblers, they are toxin free, chemical free, and made of stainless steel. The Simple Modern is made of 18/8 stainless steel and is vacuumed sealed. The Simple Modern can be purchased in many different colors. The Yeti tumblers are made of kitchen grade 18/8 stainless steel and vacuumed sealed. It can be dipped or coated in acrylic paint that will change the color of the tumbler. There is a wide range of decals that are made for the tumblers. These can be purchased at the local mall or craft show. Some vendors specialize in decals and overlays for tumblers. That is a way that you can personalize your tumbler when Yeti first came out you could not tell whose tumbler was who’s they all looked the same. Then everyone started using decals and dipping them.

The Yeti has a smaller base so that it is easier to carry and is great to fit in the cup holder in your vehicle. Simple Modern has the same design. There is also cup/tumbler handles that you can purchase that side over the cup and it gives you a handle. Like a normal coffee cup that way you do not have to hold that cup you can use the handle. They come in many different colors also.

I put ice and water in my Yeti cup at 7:00 am took it to my desk at work and refiled it with water as I drank it and at lunch around 11:00 am I added a little bit more ice and water. As the day went on, I continually drank the water from the tumbler and added more water. I did not add any more ice to the tumbler after lunch. The next morning, I got up at 6:00 am, and there was still ice in the Yeti tumbler. The next day I used the Simple Modern tumbler I started with Ice at 7:00 am and added more ice at 11:00 am and continued to add water to the tumbler as the day went. The next morning when I got up at 6:00 am, there was no ice in the tumbler.

When I started to look for reviews for Yeti, there was several on www.Amazon.com website this one caught my attention “This YETI is a must have! It keeps drinks cold for 24 hours, and ice cubes will last almost that long. I carry it with me wherever I go. It's great to keep by the bedside for a cold drink during the night. Keeps you from getting out of bed. I honestly have not tried it with a hot drink but have heard it keeps the drinks hot too. The handle is a must-have makes life easier. LOVE LOVE LOVE MY YETI!!” I agree with Katie on the Yeti keeps the ice for hours. I have left my tumbler in my car for a few hours in July with the temperature being over 90 degrees outside, so the car was well over 100 degrees, and the ice was still in the tumbler, and there was no sweat on the outside of it.

The review that I found for Simple Modern has some of the same comments as the Yeti review. I bought one of these and was so happy with it that I told my best friend and she ordered one. I then mentioned it to another friend, and she had me order 2 for them. My best friend put ice in hers and set it on the counter 30 hours later she still had ice. I filled mine at noon, took it to the beach and sat in 95-degree weather till 3:00 went home, and I had enough ice left to fill a coffee mug. I put hot coffee in it at 7 a.m. and at 3 p.m. I still had HOT coffee. I know what you’re thinking, but I'm telling you the truth...Just try it and see. I agree with Lucy on this tumbler as well; Simple Modern are great tumblers also.

We have seen with both tumblers that there are some good qualities in both the Yeti and the Simple Modern. They both hold ice for at least 24 hours and keep hot liquids at temperature for hours also. The Simple Modern is prices cheaper and you get the same results as the Yeti that is higher priced.
