Customer Review: Made-in-China garbage
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I bought three of these, one for tea, one for soup, and one extra. They sometimes work fine if you baby them, sometimes not if the gasket falls out as I explain below. The one for tea fell about a foot and a half out of my locker to the floor. Since that fall the unit is useless. I cannot hear anything rattling inside, but the vacuum seal is certainly broken. If something is going to break that easily, as other reviewers have also complained, it should not be so highly priced. Also there is a white plastic gasket between the bottle and the lid. Often the gasket will fall out when the lid is screwed on. There is no way to check, but when it falls out into the liquid inside, the food loses heat fairly rapidly. I can get much less expensive vacuum bottles that will break just like this one so why should I pay more?Customer Review: Dissapointed

I was on one of my Made in the USA kicks when I brought this thermos, and decided that even if I couldn't purchase a thermos actually made in the US, I could buy from an American company with a long history of reliablity. Perhaps, at some point, this was a really solid product and deserved its good reputation; unfortunately this is no longer the case. My thermos does not keep what you put into it hot. I've tried pre-heating it with boiling water, heating the contents on the stove rather than in the microwave, I've tried keeping it in a bag instead of sitting it out in the open and not once have I ever had a hot meal out of it. NEVER. I keep using it solely because the stainless steel doesn't absorb odors and as long as I don't mind lukewarm curries it's the best method I have of carrying it for lunch.Customer Review: I'd like to swear by it, but guess I'll just have to swear

Bought this product back in the summer of '08. Thought it was great. Around the same time I noticed Stanley's website with all the testimonials claiming that owning one of their pieces was better even than having a dog.
After 8 or 10 uses soup left in a hot car would run boiling hot to lukewarm in less than 4 hours. Had to go back to the books on that one. Made sure I was prepping it with the boiling water and filling it all the way full, yada-yada. No use.
When I e-mailed Stanley about the problem there was a new one on my doorstep in a matter of days. Hey, I admire a no-BS return policy but when it's the same piece of junk you just end up hoping it will fit in the recycle bin.
Customer Review: Defective Bottle; Stanley = No Warranty

I bought this Stanley food jar in order to bring hot soup to work. As recommended, I conditioned it daily with hot water prior to filling it with soup, but in less than one week it would no longer keep the soup hot longer than one hour. I emailed Stanley regarding their "Lifetime Warranty" - I received an automated response stating they would get back with me. I've waited two weeks, still no response. Returning the bottle to Amazon makes no sense considering postage and Amazon's restocking fee. Bottom line: This bottle proved to be junk, and Stanley's "Lifetime Warranty" is worthless.Customer Review: Defective - not openable anymore

I bought mine 4 weeks ago. Once I had difficulty opening it but finally got it open. However since yesterday I filled with soup, it is so tight that I can no longer open it. Tried pouring hot water over or freeze. Nothing works. It is just so vacuumed tight that I simply cannot get it open.
