A rugged thermos that gets the job done and holds up.

I bought this thermos for my husband when he accepted a new job in a bitterly cold place.  The thermos is just as rugged as it looks in the pic.  My husband uses the thermos every day during the week, and it still looks new.  He says having hot coffee through the day is a life saver.

We now have 2 of these - one in cranberry and another in the midnight blue color. They work GREAT! We've had the blue one for at least a year and though the paint on the outside is somewhat scratched, it keeps hot food hot and cold food cold.

My husband works in the outdoors so this thermos is exposed to low temps, sometimes near or below zero and the soup I put in it still stays pretty warm for at least 5 hours.

There are 2 extremely minor things I would change. I wish it held just a couple of ounces more because if you put a can of chunky soup in it, you always have a few tablespoons of soup that won't fit and I wish the paint was just a bit more sturdy because it seems like it scratches easily though if you work in an office or are using it for school then probably that wouldn't be a huge problem for you. I certainly wouldn't let either of those things keep me from buying another.

I always wash mine by hand because we had another model of the thermos brand and got lazy and stuck it in the dishwasher and within just a few times of doing that, it began imparting a yucky metallic taste to the soup inside. It didn't seem to effect cold things, just hot. To keep it in good shape I would recommend hand washing as the maker instructs.

If/when these two wear out, I would buy another.

The wife loves it.  She's now acquired two of them.  Loves them both, had them for awhile.  Neither leak, and they keep beverages hot for all day even in cold weather.  They have survived multiple parking lot drops with only minor scratches and dents.  The only downside is the lid does need to be disassembled into four parts for a good cleaning. Not a big deal.

This is our third purchase of this model (April/2015).  No other changes in the review except that after a couple years of 7 day/wk use, the gaskets start to wear and the outside gets a bit nicked up.  The second version of this was still in great shape, but it got left behind during a visit, so Number 3 was ordered.

I have been using my 20 ounce Zojirushi for five months, and it is perfect for me. Each morning I fill it with coffee from two Keurig K-cups on the 10 ounce setting - these fill the thermos (as I call it) to the brim. The coffee remains hot from 6 am into the afternoon, as I sip my coffee throughout the day. As for durability, I recently left my thermos on top of my car and drove away. See attached photo for the small damage the thermos suffered. Functionally, the thermos is still perfect. As others have noted, the red is definitely a pink hue. This thermos is my constant companion, and I highly endorse it.

I love this mug because it terms of insulation, this mug provides me with almost the same reliability as my Thermos. It's fairly easy to clean and can fit a great amount of coffee, tea, or Hot Chocolate. The price is not bad either. This is a great quality mug for a great price.

Beautiful solid thermos. My only issue was that it has a couple of scuff marks on the side of the thermos. One scuff is a scratch down to the bare metal. Also there are lots of spots with tough adhesive to remove. Too much trouble to return it for another. But I'm sure i will like the thermos.

This is the second Zojirushi thermos I have purchased. I especially like the one button easy-open spout for pouring drinks without having to unscrew the lid each time. The lid itself screws on easily and seals tight. This model has the carry strap vs a handle to allow carrying over the shoulder while hiking or walking from the car into the office while also carrying briefcase, bags, etc. My original Zojirushi bottle has the built in handle and is still a wonderful thermos after several years of daily coffee use. The button spout still seals tight each time and has never leaked.

This travel thermos keeps liquids hot all day, surprising in a lightweight travel thermos. It is well constructed, fits well in car cup holders and is easy to drink from and clean.

My favorite thermos I have ever owned, and I have had several over the years. This model is the culmination of years of trial and error: just 'bout perfect!

This thing has taken a beating and still works well.  I've had coffee stay hot over 24 hours, which is amazing!  Thermos is king for a reason.

I bought this as a replacement for two Thermos brand containers I had purchased a few years ago.  The older ones disappointed me because the screw tops didn't stay put if the container were dropped or otherwise jarred; they'd come loose and spill everywhere.  This model, however, succeeds where my older ones failed.  I've never had this one come loose or otherwise leak.  The carrying handle is handy at times and is easy to fold down when you don't need it.

It's better insulated than my prior Thermoses as well.  I can pour fresh coffee into it in the morning, and it will still be hot that evening, and still warm the next morning.

I've used this tumbler for a couple of months and have been happy at its ability to maintain temperature and be leakproof throughout. I also appreciate the capacity of the larger sized version. "Preheating" the vessel by pouring in some hot water first appears to help the long-term temperature holding of your beverage.

A very good travel container - definitely keeps hot liquids hot for a reasonable period of time and warm thereafter.  My scalding hot 7:00a coffee is room temp by 2:30p but then this is not NASA.  The first time I filled this up and walked outside I hit a piece of ice and it went flying inaugurating my shiny new with a shiny new dent on the bottom edge.  No problem I thought until that bottom fell off 6 hours later.  I have since glued it back on.  I mention this b/c without a handle (don't bother looking for a retrofit - none of them fit) there is only one way to carry this and that's with a decent sized hand fully around the circumference or stashed into a bag or pack.  The Autoseal feature is good.  The actual "spout" is a little tricky.  When you drink you have to end your sip with your pursed lips swiping over the opening.  If you don't you going to get drips and feel like a 2 year old with a new sippy cup.  One of the best features is the way the autoseal mechanism clicks open to facilitate washing.  I push back both the gray and the black hinged pieces and pop the top into the dishwasher open end down or if I'm in a hurry I use the dishwashing brush to get into the corners.  Not a big problem with plain coffee but if you use milk (I use ghee for bulletproof coffee) you need to get in there to clean it out thoroughly.

This is the second version of this thermos I have bought for myself, and it would take a lot of convincing for me to make the switch to another. I had my first one for three or four years, and it finally needed to be replaced from general wear and tear. It keeps coffee and tea hot for hours and is leak-proof, as long as the top is put together correctly. The only minor detail is that there are many parts to the top, so cleaning it is a little more involved than I would like. Also, if you put it back incorrectly, it can leak, so you have to be careful. Overall though it's a wonderful product.

I've been buying this thermos for my son for the several years, and it works very well for keeping the food warm. You have to heat the food up prior to putting it in the container, and it seems to stay warm enough for my son. It helps to heat the insert by filling it with with hot water to warm up the container also. I like the fact that the insert has two separate compartment, so I can put two different items. The only downside for is that if you close the lid too tight
with the hot food, it's difficult to open the lid.

A travel mug that really does work as well as a thermos, holds a decent amount of hot coffee or cold water, and still fits in my cup holder.  It's metal lined, so doesn't make my coffee taste like plastic, easy to clean, spill-proof and sturdy.  Who could ask for more?

I dropped and broke my older model Thermos bottle, which I loved and used daily for almost a year.  (I'd dropped it many times and it survived - this particular drop broke a small plastic flange on the cap and prevented it's latching.  No fault of the bottle - it did it's job well.) This is a fine replacement.  Seals tightly, spout is nice to drink from and flows lots of liquid.  Metal latch keeps it from opening by accident in my backpack.  I fill it with carbonated water from my Sodastream and it holds the pressure.  The latch is a little tight, I have to really pry to open it, but I'm sure it will loosen with time.  I would prefer to have a full quart, but I like the construction of these bottles well enough I'll probably buy another.
