Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Thermos Nissan 18-Ounce Stainless-Steel Insulated Travel Tumbler
Customer Review: Keeps Beverages Warm for Hours But Not Leakproof, Dishwasher Not Recommended
Summary: 2 Stars
The tumbler's best feature is that it can keep beverages warm for hours, at least 3, often more. It's also relatively easy to hand-wash.
However, there are more cons than pros.
First, it is not leak-proof. If you jostle it at all when it's full, sometimes just from speed-walking, you will notice leakage at the top. This is a result of the flip-top lid, so make sure you're very careful. I've definitely had a few times where I got some unwanted coffee splashes.
Secondly, most importantly, the plastic around the cap that keeps the lid tight and insulated will start to deteriorate and affect the taste of the beverage. You can look through any of the other 1-2 star reviews to see some more detailed descriptions of the problem, but it's definitely true. I bought two of these because I was so pleased with the initial purchase. After awhile, however, I started to notice a difference in the taste of my coffee on varying days and looked it up to find that other reviewers had the same problem.
Thirdly, it's not recommended for dishwasher use. Other reviewers have said that they've washed it in the dishwasher with no problem, but I just wanted to point out that this is not recommended by the manufacturer.
So, in conclusion, if you're desperate for a quick-fix until you find a better tumbler, this will work for a bit but I wouldn't recommend it for long-term use simply because of the taste/plastic-health concerns.
Description of Thermos Nissan 18-Ounce Stainless-Steel Insulated Travel Tumbler
THERMOS STAINLESS STEEL TRAVEL TUMBLER,This tumbler offers easy-sip, no-spill commuting. Virtually unbreakable, this lightweight, vacuum-insulated thermos travels with you to work or for recreation. On arrival and for hours afterward coffee, tea, or soup will stay hot or lemonade, iced tea, or a sports drink will stay chilled. It's handsome and compact (8-1/2 inches high), plus its 2-1/2-inch-diameter bottom fits most vehicle drink holders. A band of soft, nonslip black rubber encircles the tapered, satin-finish exterior, ensuring a firm grip. The top and bottom are black plastic. The sip-hole cover flips open for no-spill sipping. Fine threading ensures the twist top seals tightly, while the smooth interior cleans with a sponge or cloth. Preheating or prechilling with hot or cold water is recommended. --Fred Brack
