Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug
Customer Review: Decent mug, can get better for the money
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this item almost four years ago and probably used it for a year or so before putting it aside. As other reviewers have pointed out, it is somewhat difficult to clean, but my main gripe is that the seal on mine isn't 100% leakproof.
I followed all the usual guidelines (don't fill to the top, open the seal before traveling to let steaming liquids "breathe," never put in the dishwasher, make sure it's going into the threads correctly and is down far enough to seal, etc.), but when I would set this down sideways, it would almost always drip just a little bit. Doesn't sound like that big of a deal until that little bit is coffee dripping on clothes in a messenger bag or on a paper copy of a presentation in my front seat. I could literally fill it with room-temperature water, seal it, then have water come out of the body-cap seal when I shook it, so it wasn't just leftovers leaking out of the cap.
My wife eventually got me a Starbucks double-walled travel tumbler as a gift, and I haven't looked back since. It keeps keeps my coffee hot longer than this OXO and never, and I mean never, leaks. Very simple top that is easy to clean and doesn't have an interior chamber to hold tepid water. All for $20 + tax (actually got two on sale recently for $10 apiece).
This isn't a terrible product; you can just easily get a better one for the same amount of money. I still use it once in a while when my other one is dirty or at the office, but I always have to make sure the OXO is in a cup holder.
Description of Oxo Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug
OXO's LiquiSealT Travel Mug features Thermo-Seal technology with three silicone seals to insure no leaks. One click with one hand opens or seals the mug. Vacuum insulation guarantees desired drinking temperature for up to 7 hours. Easy to clean double wall stainless steel construction with soft, non-slip grip. 14-ounce capacity.Drinks stay hot or cold for up to seven hours in this insulated, double-walled, stainless-steel travel mug from OXO. Plus, three silicone seals in the lid opening prevent leaks and drips from spoiling clothes on the way to work. One hand is all that's needed to operate this mug: a button in the middle of the lid opens the drinking seal (a red background alerts the user to its open position); and then closes the device. Letting a few seconds lapse before closing will allow liquid in the spout area to drain back inside, thus preventing drips.
The sleek, brushed-finish, stainless-steel body of the mug fits any standard car cup holder. OXO's signature soft, non-slip material rings the mug neck, allowing for a secure grip when drinking or unscrewing the contoured lid. The mug holds 14 ounces--room for a double-tall latte with extra foam. A marked 'max' line inside prevents over-filling. Preheating or pre-chilling the mug is recommended for increased insulation value. For best results, wash the mug by hand after each use. OXO backs all its products with a satisfaction warranty, and will replace or refund any returned item. --Ann Bieri
