What makes this travel mug so great (and those that have been using travel mugs for a while will understand what I'm talking about) is: - Keeps things HOT: This is travel mug 101, but not everyone does it well. The only thing I can't comment on about this travel mug is its durability over time, since I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but other than that it's the only travel mug I've ever owned that met or exceeded everything on my list of what I think "the perfect travel mug" should be. I love the midnight blue color and heft of this mug, but my wife prefers the shape, weight, and look of the stainless steel "Contigo" travel mug, which is also a very nice travel mug."
"Pluses: -Heat, cold retention. -100% leakproof. -Comfortable shape. -Sipping lid easy to drink from. Minuses: - 0% leakproof, ugh. - exterior on even a mildly cold day is like the 'tongue on pole scene' from a Christmas Story...better wear gloves. To keep it leakproof I often had to really tighten the lid. A message was left unanswered as well...YMMV). Improvements: -The leakproof gasket. -Colored open/close indicator washes off. -paint peeling. -lid right angles for cleaning. -customer service...outsource it, the world is all about customer service."
"The opening / closing toggle is great, too- and easy to use. It actually works far better than most clasps, where you have to use great force to pry it open (I'm looking at you, Contigo SnapSeal)."
"I had another Thermos brand thermos (with a more sleek looking curved outer) that checked many of these boxes but this one just does everything a little better. IF THE OUTSIDE OF THE THERMOS FEELS WARM A FEW MINUTES AFTER YOU'VE POURED HOT LIQUID IN IT, THE THERMOS IS MALFUNCTIONING."
An ideal choice for people on the go, the Stainless King Vacuum Insulated Beverage Bottle is built to last and loaded with features to make for a more enjoyable drinking experience. Thermos vacuum insulation technology virtually eliminates temperature change within the beverage container by creating an airless space between two stainless steel walls. This can be accomplished by filling the beverage bottle with cold or hot tap water, attaching the lid and letting it rest for a few minutes. Thermos vacuum insulation technology for maximum temperature retention, hot or cold; keeps liquids hot for 24 hours and cold for 24 hours.

"I bought this to use when I need to clean my Stanley thermal bottle, I should have bought another Stanley."
"Believe it or not but If you don’t open the lid, this one keeps boiled water still hot after 48 hours."
"Bought for xmas gift fro my husband and he told me that it keeps his coffee hot for most of his 12 hour day."
"I'd give it 5 stars if it was a few dollars less expensive and the handle didn't rattle so much."
"I fill this with tea every day for work."
"This particular one is very large (which is ok) but it has to be propped up in the car on the way to work and it has to remain upright otherwise it leaks. Basically it is ruing the interior of the car because it keeps tipping over on the way to work."
"I previously had a Thermos brand and it also went bad in a similar amount of time."

"Great for use in our hot tub as well as our vacation travel."
"Neat product, and they seem to fit any bottle we have used."
"Great for using around the pool and getting past the rules of no glass containers."
"Love them!"
"Great gift idea for that hard to buy for beer drinker in your family!"
"I bought these bottles as a gift for my son-in-law based on the previous positive reviews."
"I guess most people drink their beer very quickly, but I was hoping for something in which I could take my beer and have it ready to drink an hour or two later, something that could easily happen with a double walled container. More importantly, when you place a glass bottle inside your product and then put on the stainless steel top, the beer bottle is pushed down to a position that makes it impossible to drink."

Find Best Price at Amazon"If you're on the fence about which bento box to order for your child (BENTGO KIDS or YUMBOX), I will compare the two brands in this review. The Bentgo Kids trays come in three different colors and seem more durable than the Yumbox trays. The Bentgo Kids box doesn't hold a LOT of food, but it is plenty for my son, and I imagine it will provide ample food until he's in second or third grade (probably a good box for 3-8 year-olds?). The Bentgo Kids shell is a bit larger than the Yumbox, so it's a tight squeeze into my son's soft-sided LL Bean box, but we manage to fit the Bentgo and a Lifefactory water bottle into the LL Bean box. *UPDATE* - We recently purchased an LL Bean Discovery lunch box, and this easily fits either the Bentgo or Yumbox as well as a water bottle and extras. It's less juvenile than the Bentgo Kids box, and the Panino version has room for a larger sandwich. The Yumbox has a slightly SMALLER FOOTPRINT than the Bentgo Kids, and it fits snugly in my son's LL Bean lunch box, but his water bottle does make his lunch box lid bulge out - not a big deal.

February, 2017 UPDATE: My second grader is still using his Bentgo Kids nearly every day, as it holds more than enough food for his appetite."
"Has a great seal and perfect portion for my 3 year old."
"I love this box but I have to post 2 stars because both buckle latches broke after just 3 months of use. BUT you can’t just toss in prepackaged (or unpackaged) food without considering its size. I needed to get a bento bag for this after seeing how cumbersome it was for him to carry this and a juice box without a handle. UPDATE: Before the company sent me a replacement, I ordered the snap on lid that fits the same bento tray."
"My 4 year old can easily open the box without any help and I love the feature that the top lid stays attached to the bottom portion. After 5 months we started noticing the black spots in the rubber lining on the lid."

Find Best Price at Amazon"After being asked to submit my own review, I decided to have fun with it and give their PwrXtreme bag my extreme test... Instead of treating this item as the lunch bag that it is meant to be, I wanted to know how it would perform as an emergency ice cooler. I opened the PwrXtreme two hours into the test (see 9:00 p.m. pic) and found that the ice had gone down about one inch; faster than I had expected. Hour 20 of this test (3:00 p.m. pic) revealed a thick ice slush that could no longer hold the weight of the soda cans. At this point, without draining any of the excess water, I threw the bag over my shoulder and walked around the yard. That part of the test was done strictly out of curiosity, knowing full well that the bag was not designed for that purpose. I could have extended this test until all of the ice melted, but I think that my 24 hour review has sufficiently proven that this is a high-end, quality product as far as its ability to maintain cold temperatures. I highly recommend this product... not only as a lunch bag, but also as an emergency ice cooler... as long as you keep in mind that it needs to be kept in an upright position so water won't seep through the zipper. After my purchase of the PwrXtreme lunch bag, I received an email from Splenor Legal Sales asking me to review this item for them, so I proceeded with intentions of sharing my results with their potential buyers."
"I used three (thin), which is what I normally use for a smaller bag with less insulation that I have and that didn't even come close to keeping things chilled for the day. I gave it four stars due to the extra ice packs that I will also need to include which will reduce the carrying ability of food and drink containers and increase the weight."
"I love this bag!"
"Excellent."
"Nice size to carry a picnic for two but not so big that you couldn't take as an individual to work for a roomy assortment."
"This was the perfect lunch box for me."
"I can throw in a blue ice from the freezer in the morning with my breakfast and lunch, (yup, both fit in there!)."
"This company is focused on a happy customer with follow up emails making sure we are happy with our purchase!! Wow, can you think of any company that does this?"

Find Best Price at Amazon"Zojirushi SM-SA48-BA Stainless Steel Mug, Black, 16-Ounce. First, I don't write reviews often, but feel compelled to do so. It was my favorite cup as it kept my coffee hot and it was my only spill proof travel mug. Sure I have a dozen insulated coffee mugs, but none that I could put in a bag or throw on the leather seat of my Lexus and not worry about it spilling. Well, I dropped the Contigo cup shortly after purchase and it dented in the side pretty good, but its function was fine. After about six months it started leaking after another drop and the plastic threads of the lid cracked and could no longer hold a seal. A few months later I broke my thermal pitcher I pour my french press brew into immediately after extraction. So here I go to Amazon and similar story, I purchase a Zojirushi thermal pitcher and it was also a great product. The package arrived as expected with the two cups, I attached a picture with a soda can so you can compare the two products. As you can see in the pictures, compared to a soda can the Contigo is a bit larger in diameter and the Zojirushi is a little smaller. The mouth feel of the cup, the aroma of the coffee as you inhale through your nose taking that first air infused slurping sip. The best environment for this experience is a good warmed open ceramic or porcelain mug. The mouth feel of the mug, the openness as you tilt the mug to inhale the aroma, and the ability to sip with a slurping type sip where you take in a little air with the liquid to enhance your ability to taste the subtle rich notes of the coffee. Again, the flip lid seemed to be less efficient way than the Contigo, and maybe it is, but the advantages to coffee enjoyment are great. You comprimise on mouth feel, air exchange with the slurp and aroma of the coffee, but you get hot and spilless. No, you are not sitting on the porch with comfy clothes and sluping on a warm mug of deliciousness, but you are getting the best coffee drinking environment I have found in travel form. This is one of those stupid things, but I am so impressed and this is one of those products that has literally made my life a little more enjoyable and I appreciate it!"
"When I wasn't working, Jennifer and I would go hiking at the park, take road trips, sit up late and watch the stars. Original thought at my office is as pointless as a Libertarian vote, and my commute is like a scene from Walking Dead. I'm numbing myself to waste another eight hours at The Bad Place and fantasizing about replacing the painful vacuum of affection from She Who Cannot Read Oil Change Reminder Stickers with that new girl from logistics. Buy one now, or feel only the chill yearning for an early grave that poor life decisions and emotional complacency can reap."
"Great little cup but now we notice mold under the clip where you click to open."

I have been able to keep everything fresh for days longer than usual because these bags let the food breathe!! What the product description doesn't mention (and should) is that these can be used in the laundry to hold smaller items as well!"
