Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Thermos Stainless-Steel 22-Ounce Leak-Proof Hydration Bottle
Customer Review: Just about perfect, excellent design - be careful with hot drinks
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just about perfect for what it is intended for - drinking directly from the thermos.
The best feature is the very clever top -- easily operated with one hand. It's spring loaded with a yellow release button. Push the button and the top flips open and automatically "locks" so it doesn't flip back and bang you in the nose while you are drinking.
Under the lid is a drinking spout just short of 3/4" wide. Personally, I'd prefer it slightly larger and maybe oval in shape, but it's usable for drinking as it is.
Take a swig, set it down, and flip the lid closed. It locks shut with a nice positive locking sound and feel. There's a wire clip that you can flip up to secure it shut in case the button accidentally gets pushed, like in a backpack or duffel bag. I never clip it because it's usually sitting on my desk.
As far as I can tell, this is truly leak-proof. Mine mostly sits on the desk, but I've tipped it over a few times and I've tried turning it upside down and shaking it. No leaks - even with hot liquids. I've laid it on the seat of the car with no leaks. There are many reviews here from people who have given it pretty rough treatment and no leaks.
It's perfect for water and pretty good for tea. I don't drink coffee, so I can't speak to that. I've also used it for soups, but only those that are just broth. I tried the Lipton Cup a Soup Chicken Noodle, but the noodles all got left in the bottom.
The entire lid unscrews for filling. The opening is 1 3/8" wide, which makes filling easy. I usually have hot liquids, so I don't use ice, but I did a test and the ice cubes from my frig drop in easily without having to jam them in.
The base is 3.25" wide. That just fits in my car cup holder, but may be too wide for some. It's made of a rubbery material that is just right for tabletop use. It's won't slide around, but is not overly sticky.
The body is just over 3" wide, which should be easy to grip for all but smallest hands. The overall height just under 10" - about size of large water bottle. I can easily carry it with one hand. It also has a ring on the side designed for a carabiner-style clip. They even include a fake carabiner, which says (in barely legible letters) "not for climbing".
This is one of my complaints. Either provide a real carabiner or provide something that doesn't look at all like a carabiner. This thing could get tossed in a bag and later be mistaken for something a lot stronger. It's make of fairly strong plastic (I couldn't break it with my bare hands), but there is no way it would hold the weight of even a child.
This is a HYDRATION bottle - not a standard thermos. It is designed so you can drink directly from the spout - not for pouring into a cup. I didn't quite understand that at first. This doesn't matter much with cold drinks, but if you fill it with a scalding liquid, you could burn yourself badly. It comes with plenty of warnings, but I bet someone will still scald themselves. One reviewer has a funny story about burning your mouth, then burning your face, then burning the rest of you, then throwing the thing across the room spewing scalding liquid everywhere and breaking the china cabinet. That could happen, so be careful with hot liquids. That said, it's great for hot liquids. I only use it for hot liquids. I did get it too hot a few times, but with a little care, it works great.
This is a stainless steel thermos - not glass. I always heard that glass thermoses work better. This one seems to work just fine and there's no glass to break.
My main reason for buying this thermos was for the hot water that is a big part of my diabetes-prevention diet. I am required to drink at least 64 oz of water every day. I am required to drink at least 8 oz before I can eat anything. I have found that hot water with a little lemon works better than cold. I had been using water from the hot water tap or the instant hot. The instant hot is too hot and I almost scalded myself. The hot water tap wastes water getting it hot and there are concerns about drinking from the water heater.
My solution is the Pino Digital Kettle plus this thermos.
See PINO Digital Kettle Pro
The Pino allows me to heat water to any temperature from 104° to boiling. I like my drinking water at about 135°. The Pino can heat 22 oz to 135° about as fast as I can get it from the hot water tap and it's the right temperature. Plus, it holds it at that temperature if I happen to go into the other room.
My only complaints are minor.
1. The capacity is not shown anywhere. They have a modernistic logo (Thermos E5) on the front. Would it be screw up the design to put "22 oz 650 ml" just below that or on the back side? Makes me crazy. They managed to stamp "Dishwasher safe" and " Do not microwave" (duh) on the bottom. This a pet peeve with Thermos. They tend not to put the capacity on their products.
2. I already mentioned the fake carabiner above.
There is one little "feature" that I cannot figure out. On the inside of the lid, there's a white plastic seal that fits snugly over the spout. For some reason, they made a little hole in the lid where a small nub or nipple protrudes slightly. At first. I thought it might turn a different color to indicate hot liquids, but I put scalding water in and it did not change colors. I guess it's just a place to snap the seal in place or pop it out for replacement.
Anyway, this is a great product. Easily 5 stars. Very well designed. It just works exactly as you would want it to work.
