Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Not like the Thermos I once knew...If you read and believe reviews, this one is also accurate. I did read the other reviews, and the low rating ones are the correct ones. 1. Stanley is 2 Qt. 2. Stanley made in China, I got what I deserved from buying this bottle. 3. Stanley is made 30% lighter, this is where the insulating qualities were lost. 4. Stanley stopper is made cheap, looks cheap. Not like my 1990's stainless steel one, used to have good quality orange O ring type seal now a cheap white seal, this is also why it doesn't keep coffee hot, it certainly doesn't seal in anything, I don't think the seal touches any part of the inside wall of the bottle, looks like just the top lip of the stopper is the sealing part of the stopper. Cup is cheaply made, should be all stainless steel. Not plastic lined. 5. Stanley as is, is good looking, but is too light, it feels like holding a long tin can in your hand. Again, my opinion. 6. Stanley when preheated with boiling hot water does not as stated keep liquids hot for 24 hours. This statement may have been true when these were made years ago, but due to the way these are made now, they cool off way too fast. Years ago, I ice fished in Michigan, and placed Stanley out in cold air with the older stainless steel one, and it still kept coffee hot enough to fish all day and still have a cup hot when going home in the truck. When this one is left on the counter, it cools off very quickly. 7. This is not the same bottle that was made years ago, (I think these have been downgraded since the early 1990's, due to company trying to save money), and I have not seen an original bottle lately. Making them 30% lighter has certainly affected the way liquids stay hot. I would really like liquids to stay hot, not quickly cool off. This is not Thermos, its Stanley. I don't know why the company made this 2QT bottle so light, as it certainly has changed the quality of how liquids stay hot and the heat transfers quickly through the thin wall. Everyone do your homework and purchase bottles with these things in mind. If you like the size over insulating qualities, then this will work. If you want a bottle that keeps liquids hot longer, then buy a different one. I got what I paid for, I won't return it, but will not buy another Stanley one if I need to. You decide for yourself. This is my view, no one elses. But low ratings on this bottle are correct. This bottle is listed as a Stanley 2.0Qt Classic Vacuum Bottle. It certainly is not a CLASSIC. It looks like an older version, it doesn't act like one. Sorry Stanley, but this one certainly is a letdown.
