This is a good looking mug with a nice convenient handle, so nothing really ugly to report but it has a few good qualities and several bad ones.
It does fit car drink holders nicely. The lid pops on and off, but it's not very tight. It does have a sliding cover so you can keep your beverage cold or hot a bit longer by sliding it closed each time.
However, it is advertised on the product page as "Thermos vacuum insulation technology" but strangely enough it sweats on the outside with a cold beverage on the inside. I've never had this problem with my other stainless steel mug that has never once sweated on the outside with water and ice cubes on the inside. It too is advertised as "vacuum insulated" and doesn't condensate on the outside so the fact that this one does is a big downer for me. I don't like having to use a coaster with this to prevent it from dripping all over the table. or drink holder.
As a hot coffee mug, it only lasts about an hour or so, not the 5 hours as listed on the product page. Also the product page listed cold as 9 hours, and that didn't work for me either, even with lots of big ice cubes, it stayed cold about 2-3 hours.
One reason I like "vacuum insulated" is the lack of condensation, and this one I am sad to report just completely fails at that.
I think this one needs to go back to the drawing board with better quality vacuum insulation and a much tighter fitting lid.
I received this product as a free sample for evaluation and reviewing. I am providing my honest and unbiased review. The vendor has not influenced, modified or edited my comments.
I only gave it 2 stars because of the annoying condensation problem and the loose lid.
