I love this mug. Just don't break the lid. The flip cap broke on one of mine. They don't have a replacement lid available on their replacement parts webpage. I emailed Stanley, they sent me to the order page that does not have the lid and closed my case. They also told me if I can't find it to look on Ebay.
Damn that sucks. I know a guy who had an issue with one of their vacuum containers and he had to email them call them go through I don't know how many times before he finally got him to take care of the issue. It's sad when a company goes that way it's not like it was when I was a kid. Thanks for the info brother you have a good night
Great review! Very thorough. Wondering if there are any other mugs similar to this one, ie. large mugs with a very wide base to resist tipping. Thanks!!
Yes indeed, we have many but not all Stanley products available in local malls here in the Philippines. We used to preheat our thermos jugs while the coffee was brewing. That way we still had some hot left for the afternoon break when working outside winter jobs.
Thanks for the comment and Views brother. I hope your holiday weekend over there in the Philippines is going great. Yeah heating up or cooling down the style mug is definitely the way to go. Been using it every morning I am kind of attached to it now.
Stanley makes some great products. I have one of their Steins with the locking lid, which are unfortunately discontinued, and it works great keeping my drinks cold when i go on trips. When you did the heat retention test you forgot to prime the mug with hot water before putting the boiling liquid in it. also thanks for letting us know to not buy a Taylor temperature probe, that switching off while you were using it was really annoying. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing! I don't prime a mug or thermos because I'm testing how I am going to use it. Most times when I am going to use said items I am pouring the hot or cold liquid and moving out. In other words I am in a hurry and don't have time to prime. Maybe someday I will go back and retest these by priming to see if it makes that big of a difference.
Hot water test, I personally put an oz or two of boiling water in the cup (or any flask) and sloshed it around before tipping out and filling with boiling water/hot drink. Takes the chill off the stainless steel before filling it with a hot drink. It's probably more psychological at keeping drinks hot than physical, but I'll swear it does make a difference.
I love all my stanley outdoor products! Just like coleman, they're quality and last forever. Got the cooksets, cookcup. Mugs, thermoses etc. They might be heavy but they are worth it and last the abuse.
@user-ce5xz5rc2s lol Ya when I was a kid I didn't like them at all. Used to get in trouble for not filling them back up lol. Now many years later I like them better than a ice maker. After replacing a very expensive ice maker then having it die after 5 years I went back to the old school way. Thanks for the comment and views have a great day.
Some weeks ago we had a 27 hr power outage with nightime temps of -9'C. I had filled an older glass VACUUM-INSULATED 'Thermos' bottle on Wed AM and it was still hot on Thurs PM {made in Canada}. The old "made in USA or CANADA stuff was QUALITY !!! Where is that "made in North-America" quality today ??
It's all sold out in the name of progress and cheap disposable garbage. That's one of the big reasons I started this channel, real reviews by an everyday guy. Thanks for your comment and views.
Its not for everyone. I wouldn't call the lid fragile. Its just plastic, drop it on a hard surface from height and you will damage it. Just like any other plastic lid.
