Is the mesh durable? Are the handles attached in a way that doesn't put stress on the mesh? Is the metal well insulated?

This is a low quality item. If you are looking for durable I would look further. The framing bent as I was taking it out of the packaging. It works for me because I was looking for something cheap and temporary. Hope this helps.

The mesh is very durable. I've had mine for some time and no tears in it. There is some stress put on the mesh since there is no solid (hard) bottom but that doesn't seem to effect it. I have yet to have the metal come through the covering. I use mine all the time. Especially when we travel. It fits perfectly in the bottom of the suitcase.

It seems durable enough to me. I've used it quite a bit, but I haven't been rough with it or dropped it.

The pot is not flimsy it is stout we carry and store food in it all the time yes it is all s steel and cleans up well, i bought another well advertised model and it to me just dont add up to the insta pot the insta does everything faster and easier to use

It's all metal except the knob and both handles have a silicone? insert or covering to, I believe, help you grip those parts better. I'm not sure if they're heat resistant at all. The clip or scraper on the bottom may be plastic.

It has a metallic insulated lining. It may aid in keeping to lukewarm. After beginning to use the bag only a few times now, one of the handles is tearing off and some of the stitching coming loose. It is so cute though that I will try to sew to reinforce for additional use but it is not very rugged.

Several months of accidently sitting on it several times, mowing my lawn with it, running with it, and falling asleep with it on listening to audio books (I have accidentally put holes in walls while asleep) so yes it is durable within reason. I wouldn't recommend washing it or running it over.

Yes we have had two of these over the year. It is mesh, but the back is a solid material that protects the animal. The unit is light, but very durable. The only thing I ever have had wear out is the wheels and my wife takes 3.5 mile walks every day. I think the last one we wore out we had for about 3 years. She goes in rain or snow. Even the little rocks they use on icy roads navigate well. Hope this helps, I think you will be happy. John & Sun Ae Davis

I personally do not know if the mesh is thick and durable -- I sent it to our granddaughter for her birthday --- she loves it - it was great because she can see if she wants to - or hide - but how durable it is I really can not - except to say it is being used with great fun.

I haven't had any issues with the handle bending or breaking. It is as sturdy as a five gallon bucket.

It was bought as a gift to someone as such I didn't inspect it too much .. but I believe the handles are not of foam material but hard plastic. Hope this helps.

The mesh is pretty much your standard mesh. We used it once and had it stuffed pretty full. We didn't have any problems.

I am no expert on metals or fabric but as Mel says...the mesh does not feel as if it is made of any type metal but feels more like a synthetic type mesh. It is however very durable. I was just figuring this morning that I have used the same three for at east 60 uses each. Very well constructed.

The handles don't appear to be insulated, but I don't recall ever needing a potholder to handle them. They have gotten warm, but not really hot.

Cool touch is correct. The metal parts may get hot, but the plastic shell and handles are nice and cool. Easy to work with.

We used this outside to stuff into our brick home's weep holes. The metal mesh keeps out rodents while still allowing water to escape (unlike expanding foam). It also does not rust (unlike steel mesh). We've had it installed for about a year and have been happy with it. Hope that helps.

Yes, i've had mine for a year and a half now. Probably have 40lbs worth of dive gear in it, and i carry my gun on top of the back, pinched between the handles. The mesh is super strong, the sides are the most resilient. No issues with it yet.

Yes. I really pack my bag and have to use the handles sometimes while using stairs. The handles have held up for over 2 years. No issues. This is a great bag.
