Alan, To answer you question, yes. Ours is 2nd. year on our pool patio. Could not be happier with this product, filled with beer, soda and lemonade most of the time. We do put it away in our pool shed in the winter. We are thinking of a second. Even kept coleslaw & patatoe salade cold.

The self life lasted long but the weather condition drains the power like a batterie in cold weather it also condenses water on outside of can from heat to cold . I have reg. sprays but but never had any failure but man do u wanna take the change? Please try an keep around same temp. When taken out try not to expose it to cold weathe and the hot body heat like all self protection stuff keep close to body for fast use. I have found. In the house about a year going in an out depends.

I use it outside in the snow and rain without any problems. It appears sealed, and I have not had any problems after a winter of use, but do not know that this was a recommended use....

It keeps both hot and cold...depending on what the temp was when place into the bottle. I don't think they recommend "hot" because since there IS a straw attached ...you might burn yourself. I put drink with ice in at 8am and left in car and carry all over and by 8pm, little chips of ice still inside. For hot, i don't put in boiling...i put in lukewarm and it stays lukewarm for quite a few hours as well. i don't think the plastic parts should melt since the straw parts are made of silicon. I also dip straw parts in boiling water to sterilize and it stays perfectly fine (I got the foogo for my daughter and her straw gets really nasty with backwashes...gross) hope this helps It keeps both hot and cold...depending on what the temp was when place into the bottle.

This item came packed appropriately. Don't think you have to worry about the cold. Never read anything about protecting it from the cold. I just ordered again and live in a frigid area around Chicago and aren't concerned about cold exposure. The bottle does state store between 59 - 86F degrees and don't refrigerate. If it is a concern, you might wait until it is warmer or ask the seller.

It will more than likely stay cold, especially if you prechill the thermos with ice cold water or in the freezer and/or add ice to your milk. The issue that some people have brought up is the possibility of bacteria when milk is not kept at the appropriate temperature. Personally I have not kept straight milk in the thermos, but I have kept iced coffee with milk for over 10 hours and still drank it. I would, however, suggest that you look up information on milk before decided if there is risk doing such a thing, and what any risks may entail so that you do not end up ill.

No need to freeze the container. It will keep drinks cold an average of 3 hours due to it's insulation.

Really depends on the outside temperature but in a car it is like a fridge and in 90-95 temps it stays pretty cool. I will check temp next time to see.

Similar weather to where I am. It will get cool in about 2 hrs. If the drinks are cold going into unit they will lose some coolness within first hour then be maintained at that temperature until around 2 hrs when they start to really cool down. Long trips or short stops will keep it all KOOL

Not above freezing. Regardless, if you drop it once, it will crack. For the price, your better off getting three similar bottles from Walmart.

It varies. On a normal 70-90 degree day, kept out, it usually lasts 6-8 hours or more. The ice cubes will have melted some. Even when they have all melted, the water is still cool. In a hot car, an hour or two, but I live where the temps can rise considerably, so a lot will depend on where you live and the time of year. Also, make sure to fill thermos with cool to cold water. Warm water will start to melt the ice right away.

It could if you place a few Blue Ice blocks inside in between bottles and food. We don't have 110 degree weather over here. It could go up to 90 and it stays cool.

It probably depends on it you put ice in it. My ice water keeps ice in it at least 6 hours. I never use it without ice so I hope I helped in some way. It also depends if it is in a hot environment. But it does have good insulation. :)

Honestly not sure about outdoor use its inside at our house. I don't see why not if in protected outdoor area. Well made after 3 yrs of heavy use keeps beer cold ���

Do not leave it out in the rain or snow. The insulation in the lid gets wet and will cause the lid to seperate. We keep our on the deck and move it to the patio when it rains. It's a great little cooler.

Depends on the outside temperatures. If cold, then it's ok for overnight. When mine stopped working, I put a bag of ice cubes in it and it kept pretty well, so it is well insulated. Hope that helps.

Because it's only water and sealed it's unaffected by temperature extremes...there are indications on the packaging of issues regarding temperature extremes. Just be careful should it get over 112 where you store the water, it could burn if you try to drink without letting it cool down somehow first
