Stanley 17oz. Heatkeeper- Blue

 (3 customer reviews)

It's true - this Stanley food jar does not live up to the name Stanley. Don't waste your hard-earned money for this low-quality Chinese-made plastic impostor of the original Stanley quality. I have this food jar and don't even bother to use it anymore because the food gets lukewarm in a couple of hours. It's not worth saving a few bucks to get this plastic one because it won't hold heat for more than a few hours. Get a metal one. You can spend less or about the same on eBay and get a vintage metal U.S. made Stanley Wide Mouth Food Jar that will keep your food hot for the whole day. I did that and am so much happier. I now only buy vintage American-made Thermoses and food jars. All of them keep my food and beverages hot all day and the vintage thermoses even hot over night and into the next morning!

I found them to be worthless. They didn't keep my food warm for longer than two hours. Which defeats the purpose of having the thermos.

Save your money! I have to agree with David before me. I was very disappointed with this product. Unfortunately all the Stanley® and Thermos® products are chineese made so that does not factor in to the purchase, as heartbreaking as it is. The real problem with this product is that it just does not work as advertised. The concept is great - heat yourself a lunch before work and enjoy at lunch time. In reality it does not work. I have tried two of these in case I had a defective one, but no such thing. I heat soup or chilly scalding hot and seal. Less than three hours later it is barely luke warm. And this is in a heated environment, someone who works outside might as well pack it with ice, it would be just as warm.

I would give it ZERO STARS if that was an option.

Regardless of color, the poor thermal quality of this product is the same.
Put your money towards a Thermos Work Series®. It may be twice as much and you have to heat using a different container,...Read more
