ThermosIcon Harebell Blue Travel Tumbler (470ml), Reusable Insulated Stainless Steel Coffee Cup for Hot or Cold Drinks, Vacuum Sealed Water Flask with a Leak-Proof Lid, 7hr Hot/22hr Cold

I've been through my fair share of travel mugs over the years. Some leaked, some didn't keep drinks hot (or cold) for more than an hour, and some just felt flimsy. Then I met the Thermos Stainless King Travel Tumbler 470ml, and my world changed. This isn't just a travel mug; it's an investment, and honestly, it's the best in its range, hands down.From the moment I picked it up, I could tell this was a premium product. The stainless steel feels solid and substantial in my hand, and the sleek design is really appealing. I opted for the matte black, and it looks incredibly stylish. The black colour does indeed look classic.Positives:The absolute star of the show here is its thermal performance. I'm not exaggerating when I say this tumbler keeps my coffee piping hot for hours. I'm talking about pouring it at 7 AM and still having a wonderfully warm brew at lunchtime, even if it's been sitting in a cold car. For cold drinks, it's equally impressive. I've filled it with ice water in the morning, and the ice cubes are still largely intact by late afternoon. This is a game-changer for long commutes, days out, or even just keeping my drink at the perfect temperature while I'm working at my desk.The "DrinkLock" seal lid is brilliant. I've never experienced a single leak with this tumbler, no matter how much it gets jostled around in my bag. The design of the lid also makes it easy to sip from, and the integrated tea hook is a nice touch if you're a tea drinker like me. It feels robust and well-engineered.It fits perfectly in my car's cup holder, which has been an issue with some wider mugs in the past. It also feels comfortable to hold, with a good grip. Despite its robust build, it's not overly heavy when filled.Negatives:Let's address the elephant in the room: the price. Yes, the Thermos Stainless King is undeniably pricey compared to many other travel mugs on the market. When I first looked at it, I winced a little. However, having used it daily for months now, I can confidently say that you truly get what you pay for. It's an investment that pays off in daily convenience and satisfaction.The biggest "negative" for me, and it's a minor one, is the cleaning aspect. Due to the various components of the lid (the seal, the lever mechanism), it really needs to be disassembled and cleaned properly after every use. If you don't, you can get a build-up of coffee residue or milk, which isn't pleasant. It's not difficult to take apart and reassemble, but it does add an extra minute or two to the washing-up routine compared to a simple screw-top mug. It's a small trade-off for the excellent seal and thermal properties, but it's worth noting.Conclusion for Potential Buyers:If you're on the fence about the Thermos Stainless King Travel Tumbler 470ml because of its price, I urge you to consider it. While it is certainly a more expensive option, its performance in terms of temperature retention and leak-proof design is, in my opinion, unmatched in its category. It's a premium product that delivers on its promises. Just be prepared to give it a proper clean every single time you use it – it's a small price to pay for such a fantastic, reliable, and high-performing travel companion. If you value a hot drink that stays hot (or a cold one that stays cold) for hours on end, and you want a tumbler that won't let you down with leaks, then this is absolutely the one to go for. It's the best in the range, period.

Excellent mug. I use it every day for work and it keeps my tea or coffee hot for hours just as described. Very easy to clean and keep looking great. I especially love the gold/copper colour of this one. I purchased another one in the navy colour for my father who loves his just as much. Easy and comfortable to drink from. Exactly what you’d expect from thermos. Price is fair, quality items cost more money and you absolutely get what you pay for here. Would 100% buy again

Bought several over the years for my partner and finally got myself one.Fantastic Thermos. Not too big and keeps you hot drinks warm for a long time.Great quality and easy to take the lid apart and clean properly

Bit pricey but they keep drinks hot for hours.. properly hot.Lovely form factor and easy to clean

The media could not be loaded. The product is exactly as described. It was delivered on time and without any problems. I already use this brand and I am very satisfied. I bought this for my husband. The color and quality of the product is nice but I haven't tried it yet. I don't know if it will leak. I gave one star less because there was a dent at the bottom, that's why. I will update again after trying it to see if there will be any leakage. Thank you

Great product but as others have said take care because it really does retain the heat of your drink.Great for my ambulance driver husband as it lasts for the half shift until his refill break

Best insulated cup I have had. If anything, it keeps drinks too hot. Made my coffee at 7.20 this morning. With the opener set to open all morning, it is still too hot to take large sips. Been using it for a good few weeks, and it is not treated particularly well, but only shows a couple of scratches.If you are looking for a mug that keeps your drinks properly hot for hours, this is excellent

This I my second Thermos flask of this kind. My first one lasted for several years getting used pretty much everyday, week in week out. Decided to get a new one as my original was all dinged up from years of regular use. I heat the flask with boiling water before making my drink then empty when ready to make my drink. This is how I've found to be the best way to get the flask to keep my hot drink hot the longest. I make my flask around 7:00am and it stays hot until the afternoon if I've not drank it all by then.
