Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum 16-Ounce Stainless-Steel Travel Mug with Handle
Customer Review: Handle issues make this not worth buying
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a nice looking mug judging from the photo, and I ordered two at just over $4 each. On receipt I discovered that the handle is not well secured at the bottom. The part of the handle that wraps around the mug is a loose fit and is not tightly molded or glued. The effect is flimsy. In fact, my mugs look like a cheap knock-off of a "real" mug.
My advice is: don't buy this, especially at the current price of over $17. Get the version with a grip (not a handle) selling for a bit over $4. I bought 2 of these as well, and at $4 and change each, they're a great deal, in fact I just ordered another 2.
I'm going to keep my mugs, but only because I bought them with a gift certificate, and Amazon gives no refunds or exchanges on gift certs. Being a bit of a DIY-er I'm going to try to glue the handles at the bottom with marine-grade epoxy. I'm not sure that will stand up to the dish washer, but it's worth a shot...
