Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I didn't see any reviews so I thought I would add one. If you're interested in this model the SM-YAE48, I'm guessing you've had good experience with one of the previous models. I have use the older model SM-KHE48 (slicksteel version) for about 3 years and have loved it. The last update of this mug added a teflon coating so I didn't buy it. This new one does not have any coating - just the polished "slicksteel". It's a little different design, where the lid does not come apart. It's one piece, only the rubber gasket seal on bottom and rubber stopper in the flip cap come out. The older version came apart which made it easy to clean. In spite of not being able to take apart this version, there doesn't seem to be areas that will be difficult to clean. This lid sits in the thermos, the older version screwed on top of it. The one part I don't like in this and the previous versions is that there is an indentation on the very bottom inside that seems to attract stains along the edges after awhile. Would be better if the bottom were smooth. Overall, it's wider and more stout than previous versions - it fits in the cup holder better on my vehicle. Keeps coffee hot all day, doesn't spill - lid has a pretty bullet proof lock. The lid opens all the way back (further that 180 degrees) so the stopper never hits you in the nose while drinking and you can still see while driving. Great mug - $20 better than the previous version? ...probably not, unless having your mug not rattle around in your cupholder is all that important to you. The older one's run around $30... so if this drops to maybe around $40 it would be a nice upgrade. Overall great mug though.
