An amazing thermos! I have used it twice so far. Once this past summer on a 2 night hike and stayover at Mt. Leconte lodge in the Great Smoky Mountains. I stuffed it full of ice so I could enjoy evening cocktails while watching the sunset and this Stanley thermos kept ice for me for my entire trip. Second time was for a Buffalo Bills tailgate in 15 degree weather. I filled it with hotdogs and poured boiling water in it and had cooked hotdogs to enjoy before and after the game!

Was great while it lasted. The stopper broke after months of use and there is no replacement available. The Stanley website lists the replacement stopper, but hasn't had it in stock for at least a year. So now we have this useless thermal bottle taking up space. I think it's time to give up hope on a replacement stopper and dump it in the landfill. Goodbye Stanley, never buying another one of your products.

This bottle is really built like a tank shell - its amazingly sturdy. The product also does what it advertises in terms of thermal properties. We boiled water, put it in the bottle, and opened it after 5 to 8 hours on our ski trips (2 occasions) - it was steaming hot each time. The lid being insulated keeps the heat in + is an extra cup. The 1.4L size is perfect for our family - kids loved their hot soup & hot chocolate.

I bought 3 of these a 2 years ago and all 3 have failed due to the stoppers. The old design (mine is 40 years old) still holds water but these new stoppers literally don't hold water. They failed in different ways that makes me think Stanley products should be avoided period. Sad to see a great company self destruction like this...
