It keeps warm better than cold, but, today was really hot and when I got back in our car after having the cup in there for an hour, the water was lukewarm, as compared with the water in my plastic water bottle, which was hot.

I don't remember the last time I used this for cold, but the thermal part works, so it would help. It's pretty small, overall, so I could count on it for a short time, but nothing too long.

It keeps warm for atleast 4 hours but it is not 100% leak proof, liquids might spill if there is a lot of movement during transportation.Try to keep it straight.

I haven't tried to warm a cold drink. I always start with at least a very warm drink. It doesn't seem to heat a warm drink, until there is only about half a cup left. I hope this helps.

Yes !!! I also use the ice pack sometimes . The drinks stay cold . I usually don't travel too far

Depends on how cold the food is but usually less than an hour. And then it keeps it hot until you want it. I love it and use it almost daily.

No, mine doesn't get "cold". It is cool to the touch but nothing more than a metal object. If yours is really cold on the outside, it might be defective. If when you shake it while it's supposedly empty and you hear it sloshing, it's certainly defective. If it doesn't keep things cold for very long, it's defective. Mine will keep ice all night long. Ice will melt a little bit but not all that much over time, which is the best thing about this flask for me. At the price, it better work.

Pretty much what everyone else said. I use mine to keep warm water (ie: warm not hot) for drinking. I'd say it loses between 25% - 50% of the heat over a period of 24 hours (depending on how often it's opened and how much is consumed). Still a good product.

I personally use two little ice pack/bricks during the day. I do live in the tropical state if Qld on Australia so it's quite hot. Keeps cold for hours and hours. Great investment!

I don't know about keeping it hot. I haven't used it for hot stuff...just cold. Sorry!

i usually drink ice water from mine, never noticed if it was "cold" compared to glass or plastic . . one nice thing is that it doesn't "sweat" (granted I'm in SoCal, glass and uninsulated stainless will sweat some). I own two of these and I always grab this before my pint style glasses, I will probably buy another one or two so there is always a clean one, despite the expense.

I have had mine for 6 months or better now. Works fine in very hot and very cold weather. No issues at all with road trips either. It does leak slightly on the side where 2 pieces come together in heavy rain but that's my only complaint.

I don't use this one for the car. Thermos also makes a smaller one that's perfect for my cup holder. I use this one when I'll need cold water all day..

Keeps stuff 10 to 15 degrees colder than the temperature of the space it is in. I use mine daily inside an air conditioned car. My water, fruit, soda, etc. stay about 50 degrees.....but that's with my car a/c temp set pretty low. No thermastat on it. I'm just super happy about not having to get fresh ice every morning; and not having everything floating in water every afternoon!

If you preheat the mug with hot water for a few minutes it will last up to 5 hours hot. If you put it in the freezer for a few minutes it will keep things cold for up to 7 hours as advertised. Be sure and use the open and close valve. This cup has a small bottom to accommodate cup holders in cars. It does tip over easily. I love mine.

So far we use it for cold beverages. It surpasses Hydro Flex. My wife bought it for both. She even bought the meal size Thermos. She says Thermos is good for cold and hot.

I have filled it with ice and water to go to work on a hot day. At the end of the day, I throw it into my lunch bag and forget about it. The next day when I arrive at work, it still has ice in it. Hope this answers your question.

By "hot" I mean it is too hot to drink without burning my mouth (at first), and a few hours later it means too hot to drink without masochistic discomfort. Don't know about cold - haven't tried. WHOOPS! I thought you were asking about the Thermos bottle I purchased at about the same time. I have not been concerned about the bag's ability to keep items hot or cold. Sorry.
