Bad Product, Worse Customer Service
On 5/10/25 I purchased a 20L soft cooler directly from the Hydroflask website. The website advertised that this cooler keeps items cold for up to 24 hours - and obviously some deviation from the 24 hours was to be expected, however, this cooler didn’t keep things cold for even five hours (even filled with ice) in a neutral environment (indoors in 70°F). I used the cooler two or three times with the same result. I am a loyal Hydro flask customer - and I love everything else I’ve purchased from them: bottles, coozies, travel mugs, wine glasses etc. which I why I had no hesitation in purchasing this cooler. I reached out to Hydro flask customer service today (6/2/25) via phone to explain my concerns and initiate a return, and I was denied. I was told that since I had already used the product it was not eligible for return - even though it was agreguously misrepresented on their website. I was offered no sympathy, and was told that I could make a complaint under the manufacturer warranty and the cooler would be replaced with another identical cooler. I am absolutely disgusted by the way this interaction was handled, and would advise others to spend their money elsewhere. This is how they treat their customers of 10 years
