1.1QT GRN SS Vac Bottle

I'm changing my review of this product. Originally, I gave it one star based only on first impression. After two weeks use, I have to say that although this thermos ( Chinese) is much lighter and seems less sturdy than the old Stanley, it still keeps coffee warm the same amount of time. As for the materials and how long it will last, only time will tell. I'm changing my rating to three stars for now. But, if you expect the heavier, old Stanley, this new one isn't it. Just be aware of that.

I recently purchased this product to replace an earlier model I lost, and while I agree that it's not as heavy, the manufacturer still offers a lifetime warranty. That's worth a lot to me.

Also, regarding the stopper. While it's true there are no pour-through holes on this stopper, you can still simply "twist-and-pour" without removing the stopper. The coffee or liquid will pour down the side of the stopper instead of through holes in the top. Again, you do NOT have to remove the stopper to pour.

I filled it with coffee for an all-day meeting, and the coffee remained firecracker hot for the duration. I was quite pleased.

I give it a 4-star rating instead of 5 only because it's not as heavy as I'd like, and I (rightly or wrongly) tend to equate weight of material with strength.

The old models were made in Tennessee and were an icon to the American working man. Millions carried these to work through the week and took them in their boats and up treestands every weekend. You could keep coffee hot for almost 48 hours and could run them over with a truck.

I needed two bottles to take with me when fishing, one for hot coffee on for cold tea so I bought a new one to supplement my original model. This newer model is made in china which about made me throw up when I discovered it while washing it for the first time.If there is any product that I would wager would always be American made it would be this. I wrote Aladdin an email about my displeasure and never received a response. I urge others to do the same.

Now to the product itself. It is not a terrible product. It does appear to still be tough and up for a fair amount of use. It feels lighter in the hand and I am not certain it will last a lifetime like the older US made models but I...Read more
