The picture shows a yellow button. Is this a push button to open lid? Thanks!

It is not a button but it is softer than the hard plastic lid. If you can push it in a little it helps to loosen the seal and makes opening the thermos easier.

it is just a decoration. it helps you grab the lid when you have to unscrew it but do not need to push. my kid has been using it for years at school. keep lunch very warm. I warm it up pouting boiling water and leaving it for about 15 min.

No, the lid screws off. On my thermos this spot is grey and it is just decorative.

Yes. I just tried, and if the little black ends of the lid hinges are pushed, the top stays open! Hey! I didn't even know that! Glad you asked.

To open the top, you have to press the button. The bottom has a stopper on each side so you can lock it. This allows you to have it only open one way instead of both, if you want.

Push the handle end of the lid up with your thumb. It pops up rather easily.

Sure, you just need to put the lid facing your thumb to open it. No matter if you are left handed, you can also use your left hand to open it, using the thumb !!! Enjoy it...

Yes, but mine broke in about a year and leaked. I am now using a different model by the same brand. It doesn't have the push button but is just as convenient. I will see in a year if this leaks as well.

I have order this twice (lost the first one) and while it does have a metal pin going through it, I just remove the plastic lock itself. The push button is more than enough to keep the lid from opening accidentally.

I agree with "fish man". It will hold the lid open, but you have to push down to close it.

So sorry, I took so long to talk to my granddaughter. You may have sent it back by now. If not, my granddaughter said you flip the lid over and there is something there that you press with the point of a pencil to activate it. Hope that helps and I'm not too late. I see that it has been just over a week since I received your question, I really apologize. I have been living at the hospital with my husband who is very ill (ICU) for the past 95 days. I did wanted to find the answer for you though because we have enjoyed this product.

Yes. The push button itself has a rubber cover to keep out moisture. The back cover, which opens to give access to the battery, has a seal or gasket around it to keep it water tight. Hope this helps--

This general instruction may refer to a different model. It also mentions the "lid release button" which doesn't exist.

I've used a butter knife between the bottom of the lid and the side of my thumb to pry it open. Just be careful not to spill it everywhere!

I tried to open and close the lid when it is empty. I had to use booth of my thumbs to push it open. I am not sure what is the best solution other than a different design.

Not certain but I believe it is. I have three JoeMo's and all of the lids with the push button closure work interchangeably. Nice thing about the TC is ability to use loose tea but mostly I use without tea insert. Great product use them daily.

just push the recessed button with the battery picture on it and the lid pops open.

Hi, it's a latch mechanism. You have to push the latch in order for it to catch as it springs out when you unlock it. Push your fingers in the space between the handle and the top of the lid then close the latch and turn the key. Hope this helps.
