Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I can get ice cubes in it. Keeps things cold. Did I mention I can get ice cubes to fit into it? 5/2/16 took a star off. Today while washing, the little metal disc that covers the silicone seal on the bottom of the thermos came off exposing the silicone plug that maintains the vacuum. I thoroughly dried the bottom of the thermos and the metal disc and reattached it with some Shoe-Goo. Let's see if that holds!? Without that metal disc in place, I can see how one could easily knock in the plug and breach the vacuum making the item kind of useless as a thermos. 6-7-2016 Ordered a second one in grey... same thing. First time in the dishwasher the metal disc on the bottom detached from the container leaving the silicone seal for the vacuum hole exposed. This time, it is white silicone instead of clear and seemed a little firmer than the stainless unit I first received. Regardless, this plug/adhesive did no better a job of retaining the protective disc. A large pea size dab of shoe goo and pressed the disc back on so the adhesive came to the edges and no problems since with washing or retention. Considering the price point they are still a good value IF you already have a tube of Shoe-Goo or similar adhesive to repair the units when they start to fail (they don't lose' their vacuum unless the actual adhesive plug itself is compromised). If you don't have the adhesive in your drawer, rather than buying some, just spend a few extra bucks on one of the similar units more highly rated that don't have this seemingly ongoing problem. They have obviously changed the adhesive but it's still not getting the job done so taking another star off! 6-27-16 The gray plastic paint on the exterior of the bottle started flaking off. I sent a message through the Amazon portal and Glacier point promptly replied and gave me a full refund on the bottle. They also asked I give them another try due to changes in manufacturing... 7-6-2016 I am glad to report that both of the issues have been addressed. The bottle is now powder coated and there is not metal disc on the bottom covering the whole. Whatever is being used to seal the whole has no give and is now covered completely with the powder coating. Glacier Point finally resolved all of the manufacturing issues with these bottles and now they do everything one could ask. No more disc to fall off, seal the hole on the bottom so vacuum integrity is not at risc, and go from a painted coating which failed, to a powder coating. Top that off with GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE they have earned a 5 star rating.
