OXO Good Grips Plastic LiquiSeal Travel Mug, Textured Blue

I've had this mug for 6 months. I got it for a long bus commute to work in DC. First, you cannot take the top apart to clean it. After about 3 months, the rubber gaskets started falling out (I have only hand-washed this mug). Annoying, but I could tuck them back in; however, eventually, it became a routine.
Around the 6 month mark, the button on the top started sticking in, so it wouldn't close without working at it, trying to get my fingernail under it to pull it out, and eventually stopped closing at all. I would have to take the top off, and push the plunger back up into it to get it to close.
Tonight after soaking the top in vinegar overnight, I took all the gaskets out and held it up to the light so I could see how dirty it was inside. Crud and gunk (looked like barnacles, no kidding) was all up inside of the top. Ugh.. Yeah.. so here I am.. looking for another mug. Don't buy this thing. Spend a little more money and get something that comes apart.

I bought this mug at a TJ Maxx for $7.99 several months ago because I was looking for something leakproof. For the most part, it is, unless you have a couple of droplets left on top once you pop the mug to the closed position. One hand, pop-button action is a plus.

Hot coffee becomes warm to cold in roughly 1-2 hours; although the mug is double-walled, it's made of plastic, so it's not a good heat retainer. My biggest complaint about this mug is the top is incredibly hard to clean and cannot be taken apart without prying the screws loose. If you drink coffee/tea with creamer or milk, that crud will stay in there, and if anyone has found a way to clean the crevices, let me know! I've attempted to soak overnight with dishwashing liquid to no avail. I put the top to the light and see nasty stuff still clinging to the spring mechanism for the top, makinng me queasy about what I'm ingesting. If you don't clean well, top will continue to have "odors". Bottom line: Great for...Read more

I love this travel mug for two reasons: it's spill proof and it has bad insulation.
I'm a college student, so when I walk to class, I like to have something to keep my hands warm during the winter. Because this mug has bad insulation, all the heat leaks out and makes the mug warm, which makes my hands happy during the winter. I don't really care all that much if my coffee is piping hot... I just want something (relatively) warm to drink in the morning. I'm drinking some coffee right now and it's basically luke warm... it's only been an hour and a half since I made the coffee.

I love the spill proof design because when I'm done with my drink, I just throw it in my bag and don't have to worry about it spilling. I hated all the other travel mugs because they would leak just a little bit. Sugary coffee inside of a laptop bag is absolutely terrible. Because they all leaked, i had to carry the mug around in my hand everywhere. I would always lose them. This mug is great...Read more
