Can anyone else share their experience with the lid on this? (Mixed reviews on the ease &amp; leakage). Also, any comparisons to this vs. the Thermos mug?

The lid is perfect. I have not had any leaks at all. Even if I turn it upside down nothing leaks. The lid is also very easy to use and one of the reasons I bought it. Just push the button to release the drink!

Were you ever able to get the lid off? I had to throw mine out (don't know what brand) and I am looking for one that will not have that problem. NB

I had wash my thermos so I can get all of the stuff that trapped behind the gasket etc. There's a much better thermos out there at a lower price. This is the one I upgraded too. http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Stainless-King-24-Ounce-Midnight/dp/B008JC76XA/ref=pd_bxgy_k_text_z it holds more food and costs less than the one you're looking to buy.

Good question: I have never turned my filled thermos upside down to make sure it does not leak, so I cannot give you a definitive answer. You might try the company's Internet and ask if it is indeed spill proof, etc. I now intend to check all three of my thermos containers when I wash them to determine how they stand up to rough/normal use. But it will be a few days before I take the time, so maybe you can check back with me?

Sorry...I wish I could help you. My daughter just lost it...I will be buying another one because I loved it so much! It kept food warm. I own another thermos, and the lid is plastic...hope this helps...

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

This was a gift. She said: The mug lid works fine, I think. It does not keep things as hot as in an insulted mug but I am happy with it. I am drinking out of it right now! The basket goes into the dishwasher so I don't have a problem there - but remember, I am not using it for loose tea - just tea bags. There usually is a bit of residue from a tea bag but it rinses out easily. Hope that helps.

No, I have not experienced any leakage. There was one time I had some leakage, but it was because I didn't screw the top on correctly and got it cross threaded. As long as is the lid screwed on properly and snug, there has been no leakage.

No. It leaks. I had LOTS of trouble getting the lid to screw on level. This resulted in a dribble from the top when I tipped it on it's side to check if it would leak. I was NOT happy. I wanted to carry this in my backpack for hiking. Can not do with a leaky thermos. It is SO pretty I really wanted to keep it. But for this price, a leaky thermos has to go back! Darn.

Ed: I rhink our mug will fit your objectives. Our mugs are stainless steel inside and out and that is very easy to clean. Furthermore, the interior that holds your liquids, etc is smooth and has no seams. We also use a lid sealing system that means the lid sides are smooth and easy to clean. The o ring gasket is around the outside of the lid so its not in contact with mug contents (see product images). I hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to contact us again.

I use mine to keep my tea hot, and it was still hot many hours later. No idea on this one. I did make a discovery this morning that this cup can't be shaken, or else the liquid comes out of it. How is it for you? I have tried dumping a little liquid out to no avail. I tried it dry with no avail. I am drying it out right now, and I am going to try it again. With both of our problems, maybe this ISN'T a good mug. I might have given my review too early. Don't know.

I have both models and I believe the Thermos is the newer model as Nissan/Thermos vend the same products. The lcoking mechanism isn't really so different functionally, the actual spout and under the cover is different. I personally like the Thermos model better because it is easier to clean. Both work to retain heat.

I had the same concern - couldn't figure out why the thing didn't work as a traditional "commuter" mug. It isn't. Think old-school thermos. Unscrew the top and drink or pour. And be careful if driving - the liquid stays hot.

I love mine and it has never leaked on me. When I fill it then go to screw the lid back on, the water pushes up the straw so I just drink more of the water then screw the lid on the rest of the way and I've not had any issues at all with leaking. I love mine and I use it EVERY day....

The mug screws on and off. It is a little hard to do but not bad. When you are putting the lid on after filling it, screw it down until you cannot see any of the shiny metal and I guarantee it will NOT leak. I love this travel mug. It is what I had been searching for a long time. I carry it all the time and would consider getting another one or getting one for a gift for someone. They are great.

The mug itself does NOT leak, is great. The lid for the mug....... YES, it is not to be trusted whatsoever.

Sorry it will leak if you try to travel with it. I tried a water test with it and the top container with it only filled half way and it leaked in a walking carry test and if tipped will leak badly. The lower containers are just as bad, I would suggest a real thermos is best for soup. This container is great for snacks and other solid foods. Sorry
