I really like this Thermos. It's a bit bigger than I had imagined but it really does keep any hot liquid for a long period of time. The bottle looks nice as well.

We have used this thermos for cold teas and beverages in the summer and hot beverages in the winter for over three years.  The coffee remains hot after being in the thermos for 9 hours.  However, this is contingent upon having the thermos over half way full.  We recently purchased a Keurig and have noticed that less liquid that is in the thermos means the shorter amount of time the liquid will remain hot.  Otherwise, a very durable and attractive work thermos.  My husband enjoys it.

I really like this alot. It keeps things cold, it has a wide enough mouth to accomodate icecubes and let's face it, it's a pretty bright pink that makes you think to drink. it also helps remembering to tke ti with you in the car etc. Maybe having more of a drink spout included would make it even better so you don't have to unscrew it everytime you drink,( like on I had by thermos), but honestly, the lighter weight and pretty color more thna make up for it!

I really enjoy this thermos.  Drinks stay hot for four hours and it's leak proof. Take it to work each day.  Easy to clean.  Best thermos I've had.

I bought a Zojirushi America Corporation SM-JD36PA Tuff Mug on Oct. 31st, 2015, so I have had this thermos for about half a year and I am pleased to get it, especially I love its light pink color. I felt stomached after drinking cold water every time, so I realized that I need a thermos to keep drink hot. This thermos could keep drink hot for eight hours. I pour hot water in morning, and I also can drink warm water after eight hours. I had one thermos, but that one was too heavy to put in bags. Zojirushi thermos is 0.62 pounds that is convenient to have a picnic with it. There is another merit that the Zojirushi cup is well sealed. Some cups may leak and wet other stuff in my bags, but I have not met this kind of situation after using the cup yet. Once I put cool Sprite and ice cube into the cup, and it kept cool for a long time. Therefore, it keeps both cool and warm for at least 6 hours. I will update more when I use it in summer.

When I received the thermos, I was shocked about its direction since the direction would tell you how to clean your cup, how to assemble lid, and some cautions. Please read instruction carefully, otherwise it may cause sealing damage. From my experience, I waited about 3 hours to take a sip because I poured so hot water into the cup. Also, steam condenses into drops of water. When I open the lid, several drops of water would drop out of the lid. Further more, it is not an easy to clean this thermos completely. No matter how I clean the cup with using different dish soap, it always smells weird. Therefore, I recommend cleaning it only with water.

I strongly recommend this Zojirushi America Corporation SM-JD36PA Tuff Mug to students, coffee drinkers and those who need or prefer hot water in winters. This cups is well sealed, heat preservation, and easily wash up. However, please be careful when you would like to take a sip, but you pour extremely hot water into the cup before.

I got this for work so I could sip my morning coffee throughout the day.  It keeps beverages warm (or cold) and fresh as it is a thermos, not just a mug.  I looked though a lot of thermoses before choosing the Zojirushi, but decided on it because you can completely dismantle the lid to get it really clean.  A lot of times these type of tops do not come apart and it is hard to get them really clean.

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.

Great thermos, particularly the included strainer. The dual spout cap is awesome, but there's one design flaw...the strap will eventually break if you're prone to carrying it around by the lid strap. This has been cited by several customers, and though it's likely that it's not designed to do that, one is inclined to do so with a thermos this sized.  They should design It so either these straps can be easily replaced, or design it with a more robust strap.  Otherwise, this is an excellent thermos that keep things real cold & hot as advertised.  Just don't swing it about by its strap & you'll be a happy customer ;)

I really enjoy this mug.  At 12 oz, it's a more realistic size for my coffee drinking habits than the bigger 16 + oz models, and as an added benefit it's MUCH easier to handwash effectively without a bottle brush.  Keeps my coffee hot enough for around 2-2.5 hours, after that it starts to cool down noticeably.  In a perfect world I'd prefer a vacuum insulator and 6-8+ hours of insulation, but practically speaking 2-2.5 hrs is just fine for the way I use it.

I actually think Thermos is low balling themselves with their advertised numbers on how long it keeps beverages hot and cold. When people say they have thrown in various things like backpacks and luggage and not had it leak they aren't kidding. I remember my Dad used to have various Thermos products when I was a kid so now having one myself is a little nostalgic. My one two gripes with it are the stainless steel exterior can sometimes be a little noisy in certain cars cupholders and the fact that you can't make the mistake of stirring anything in it with someone other than a plastic coffee straw because you don't want to scratch it. Other than those things this thing is great. Oh and 16oz really isn't all that much so I'm glad I went with this one and not a smaller one.

This leakproof thermos has come with us on many family trips, and is now, funnily enough, a part of our collective memories. We use it mostly for mint tea on cold, rainy days, and it always keeps things hot and fresh for many hours. It works especially well when preheated with boiling water before filling it with your hot beverage of choice. The opening at top is about 2", and easily cleaned with a bottle brush.

The finish is durable and attractive, and I especially like the midnight-blue color. If a thermos could be called "stylish", this one is just that.

This is a good small compact thermos that keeps hot liquids hot for quite a while. I used it for coffee at work, took the lid off and drank directly from the bottle. My coffee stayed hot for a couple of hours, which was great as I'm a sipper, not a gulper. The lock works well as long as the lid is screwed on tightly (I do double check it before I toss it in my bag).  A straw will fit through the small opening if you open the lid to drink, but it has to be a small diameter one that is flexible so you can squeeze it in. But be careful because the coffee will be hot and stay that way for a while.
The reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I can still taste coffee when I use it for tea. Granted not everyone will have this issue, but even after going through the dishwasher the faint taste of coffee in my tea persists. I suspect it is due to the seal in the underside of the lid which has also become slightly brown. I tried scrubbing it out but it doesn't seem to help. Anyhow, this mug is now dedicated to coffee. I'll get a separate one for tea.

Mainly, it is scary how well this thing insulates. I can put coffee or tea in this thermos and whether I take a sip an hour later or 8 hours later, my beverage is still as hot as when I poured it.

It is also durable and easy to take apart for hand washing or tossing in the dishwasher. I didn't think I would care about the locking lid, but for travel it's really comforting to know the lid isn't going to accidentally pop open at the wrong time.

I wanted a thermos that poured without having to unscrew the top.  My other thermos had a popup pourer but they don't last long before leaking.  This thermos keeps my coffee hot till the last drop.  The best part is it fits in my Sachi lunch bag.

I heard some comments about leaks and was worried. I would have bought the contigo if it was not for the mold problem.

However, this thermos is good. I have not encountered leaks and I keep this in a carry on bag when we go around and the water has held itself in the container.

I love the ease of cleaning - are you listening Contigo ?!. That was very important. All components come out open. The straw is a strong one. My son is into biting stuff and the straw has held through.

These thermos' are not recommended for hot liquids, so I have kept it for water for now. I don't intend to use it for warm milk or hot chocolate.

Good buy. I recommend !

I've had this for a week and it does keep my coffee hot for at least 10 hours. I do warm the container prior to use by filling with hot water while coffee brews. (To be environmentally friendly, I do save that water for other uses).  I tried a Thermos brand of similar size before buying this, but my coffee was just lukewarm after 4 hours. I saw another comment about the container being stained after removing stickers, I did not have this problem. I soaked container with hot water to make it easier to remove stickers and then cleaned off residue with Goo-gone.

Excellent thermos! I use it for tea and it keeps it very hot 24 hours later. The only problem i had was the plastic cup and the tin around it seperated but I was able to glue them back together and have not had a problem since.
