Our favorite recommendation for superior insulation, easy cleaning, and a convenient and effective lid What about the dishwasher, though? RTIC and Hydro Flask say that you should hand-wash only, while YETI specifically claims their tumblers will survive dishwashing. (Pelican doesn’t comment either way.) Given the number of outright contradictions we’ve seen over our years researching vacuum-insulated products, we’re not surprised by either answer. Extra-hot drying cycles will make the metal expand and contract, so there’s some risk to every mug, but the biggest problems are usually with color coatings and glued-on plastic pieces. A solid tumbler with a classic cup shape and an ergonomic lid that works well, though it fails to stand out from the crowd The thermos circumference is a little wide—those with smaller hands may have trouble comfortably holding this cup for long periods. But if you can overlook that, there's a big perk: This design-forward tumbler features a ceramic interior that keeps odors and other flavors from long-ago pours at bay. The lid also features a thinned drinking lip, making it easier to sip without spilling.
Our tester used these tumblers in place of his usual water bottle and coffee mug for two weeks. At work, around the house, in the car and at the park, they all kept beverages handy. The 30-ounce size was bigger than our testers preferred for a morning cup of coffee, but for keeping hydrated (or keeping a rum and coke chilled) it’s just about perfect. You’ll get drips if you hold the YETI upside down or drop it on the floor, but this lid is good at keeping your drink inside. How well the tumblers prevent spills and leaks: We filled the tumblers to maximum capacity with room temperature water, sealed them, and laid them horizontally on top of a towel. Then, we inspected for leaks, noting where the leaks occurred and how much water was spilled.We were only able to fit this tumbler in the extra-large cupholder. Our testers were very impressed with its leakproofness (it didn't leak when held upside down or shaken)—suitable for consuming beer. And they weren't impressed with its ability to insulate heat—also suitable for consuming beer. Our testers did say the separately sold handle would be a bonus. "The Beast was a little large in my hand, and while it was easy to grip the external material, it could benefit from a handle," one tester noted. "But a great value considering the capacity and its stellar performance preventing leaks." Our Lab team consists of testers with decades of experience in both professional and home kitchens. In addition to their testing, tumblers were sent out to our food and commerce writers who cook and meal prep consistently.
I agree the smaller straw is smaller than, for example, a McDonald’s straw. However, we had no issues with drinking water, tea or coffee. There is a larger straw provided if you have trouble. If you're set on the Yeti Rambler but also want something more cupholder-compatible, Yeti makes a travel version of the same mug with a higher-placed handle and thinner bottom. There's also a straight tumbler with no handle. Vacuum-insulated tumblers or bottles feature a double wall, or two-layer construction—oftentimes made of stainless steel,” says Graham Nearn, Stanley’s Vice President of Product Creation and Design. “All air is removed from between the two layers of the bottle to create a vacuum.” This feature is why this kind of tumbler is able to keep beverages at the preferred temperature for an extended period of time.
The Hydro Flask – 32 Ounce Insulated Tumbler is a notable contender from one of the big names in the world of insulated drinkware. Many publications give it a win for the sleek profile and brand reputation. Yes, it's true, Yeti has been great from the beginning, and now that you know where it comes from (so to speak), let's talk a little bit about the pros and cons of owning one. Most of the time you can't go wrong, but it's nice to know the perks and the downsides just the same. Pros
Great Deal
