Rambler Tumbler with Lid. We over-engineered these double-wall insulated tumblers with an 18/8 stainless steel body, which means your drink still keeps its temperature no matter how much of a beating this cup takes.

I started looking for a tumbler because the one I was using at work was pretty beat up but I didn’t want to send $30 for one (yes I’m cheap). I did some research and by the time I got my Amazon Yeti I was armed with this information. I tried to label the pics: fake on the left in red, real on the right in green. 4) HEIGHT – The fake one is about 1/8” taller. 5) UNDER – The 2 tumblers have the “Design in in Austin…” sentence but the numbers after “China” are different. There is a difference in weight, I think the real Yetis are a bit heavier (also got this info from a YouTube video). If you are paying anything under $30 and/or if the cup is being shipped directly for China, chances it is a fake. My advice (if you want a real Yeti) buy one directly from Yeti, REI, Academy, Dick’s, Cabela’s, ACE Hardware…. At the end I did spend $30: I bought 3 Ozark Trails (look up Yeti vs Ozark Trail in YouTube) from the local Wally-Mart: two 20oz tumblers and one 30oz tumbler."
"Bigfoot isn't real... and neither is this YETI."
"This is a fake YETI."
"I originally purchased one from REI and noticed that the two I recently ordered from Amazon did not look or feel right."
"The lid has started to crack after 3 weeks."
"The image pictured has a YETI lid."
"Counterfeit items!!!"
"There are many videos available online that show the difference between knockoffs and authentic Yeti Ramblers which I recommend everybody look at."

I have a feeling the "off center" pulling action is what broke our old one..... As a side comment, even the Foil Cutter works better and is mounted better than the one that came with the old puller."
"Right off the bat you'll notice that the Secura Stainless Steel Electric Wine Opener comes in a nicely appointed, gift appropriate box (vs blank bulk packaging) [pic1]. If you don't want the blue glow, you can either unplug the unit or just simply leave it off the charging stand."
"The first, an Oster, worked well for a long time but the plastic “grip” on the back became gummy so it left my hands sticky and black. If the power remains as good and strong as it is, and it lasts a long time, I am very happy!"
"I never previously owned an electric wine opener, but after using this product, I'll never go back! Works flawlessly, and have had no issues with charging or getting corks stuck or anything."
"Just hold the bottle with one hand, center the corkscrew tip in the center of the cork, apply a gentle pressure downward and press the button with your thumb."
"My mom was amazed at how easy it was to use, so now my only worry is that I have to watch the number of bottles they are going through because it's so easy to open the them 😜."
"We also like how it looks sitting on the counter and with the light that comes on to let you know you have got it on the cradle right for it to charge."
"Our dad didn’t think he would use it...old school ya’ know, but he loves it."

"***We had one that leaked too but READ this because I love this thing and really appreciate the company’s quick responsiveness to fix the issue***. Love this!!!"
"Hard to understand how to use it for that guess I'll need a teeny tiny funnel to use in the fluted end."
"I broke one of the little retaining nubs trying to close it."
"Taste a before and after aeration sample and there is clearly a difference, aerated sample tastes much better."
"This little thing makes pouring wine so much easier... and EXCELLENT customer service."
"Wine aerators do help the flavor of wine but this one is junk."
"Bought the vintorio wine aerator about a month ago."

Find Best Price at Amazon"HOWEVER, we have learned the hard way that the size of it is SO large that it tips over continually in our van (on a trip) when I have attempted to just use it for a drink on the road."
"Even though it is winter, the temperature inside a closed vehicle easily reached 80 degrees in this particular day. My spouse really fell in love with it the day we made frozen margaritas!"
"The ATLIN tumbler promises to maintain your beverages temperature for long periods of time, and it does just that."
"I have spent well over $75 for a insulated cup."
"I was a bit wary to order a stainless steel container to drink from as every time I drink from one (like a Hydro Flask) the taste of metal is overwhealming. As an added bonus, this large, 30 ounce tumbler has made me drink lots more water throughout the day than I usually do."
"I can pour hot tea in it and leave it open so it cools faster."
"I filled both cups with coffee the same day I got them, put the lids on and my wife and I were off on our way."
"I recently bought this tumbler because the company I work for just moved to distance which requires longer traveling time. I was driving to work, took a sip and noticed that the coffee taste was different from what it was after brewing it at home. The next day after washing the tumbler and lid multiple times, I tried again and again the coffee taste was altered, but I didn't know why. I really needed a large cup to carry my coffee so I figured I'll try again, but without the lid this time. Please see the email exchange below between me and Atlin support team and how they decided to handle this issue. Best Regards, Ada. Power-innovation Customer Service. That was how Atlin decided to handle this issue, by telling me not to use the lid which was purchased with the tumbler as a unit."

"If you’re not familiar with Corelle dishes, they are light weight (this lunch plate weighs about 8 ounces) and thin which makes them easy to handle, they don’t take up a lot of room in the kitchen cabinets and while not break proof, they’re quite durable."
"The third reason that I love these plates are that I have 12 of these plates and they fit stacked in my cupboard with room for at least 12 more I have very expensive Square Food Network brand plates and I only have a set of 8 and they won't fit in my cupboard."

"They arrived and One of the bowls were BROKEN I was like dang I was worried about only having four bowls due to our large house size to begin with, and now we were down to three bowls and haven't even used any of the items in the set. two sets both from Amazon with a broken bowl. While they appear pretty online I have had no luck with two complete sets of these with both sets arriving with a broken bowl, the red coloring actually having black showing through it from a not so good paint job, and these are extremely heavy for little hands."

Free your wine from the grasp of an air restricting bottle by letting it flow into our elegant crystal wine decanter aerator. Pouring the wine from the bottle to the decanter oxygenates the wine and releases its rich aroma and flavor. When an entire bottle of wine is poured into OUR decanter, the wine reaches the widest diameter on the decanter allowing for maximum aeration!
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"There seem to be issues with some decanters of this shape, such as washing, drying, pouring, however, the Chateau Wine Decanter does not share any of those issues. What I liked about the decanter. - it ls large, solid, lovely - does not need to be babied. - it washed easily, just with soap and water. - it dried beautifully within minutes (other decanters experience difficulty). - the mouth, although slanted, holds the wine funnel at a correct angle (I had wondered about that). - the size of the mouth is a perfect fit for the the size of the wine funnel - one does not need to hold the funnel while pouring. - when serving, it poured out every last bit of liquid (other decanters experience difficulty). - it has a round hollow foot at the bottom (visible in picture), which will hold sediments beautifully. - the width of the neck just above the bowl, is a bit larger than some other decanters, which allows more air for breathing, and also, helps in drying after washing."

"I ordered the wine decanter for my son for Christmas."
"My wife has a much better sense of smell than me but I can definitely detect aromas throughout the house after the wine has been decanted."
