Zojirushi SM-YAE48 XA Zojirushi Travel Mug, 16 oz St

This is the best water bottle I’ve ever used. I love the fact that I can put ice in from the refrigerator dispenser without having it fall all over the place; nearly 3” is the perfect size opening for doing this and almost every other water bottle has a tiny opening which makes ice fall on the floor when you try to fill it from a refrigerator dispenser. The outside of the bottle stays warm to the touch while the inside temperature of the water bottle remains ice cold when you put ice in it. It’s pretty amazing how it works. I fill it about halfway full of ice and add cold water to the fill line, screw the cover back on and head to work around 7:30 am. This water bottle stays in my car until I get home from work usually around 5:30 pm. I’ll open it several times during the drive to take sips, but it remains seated in the cupholder where it fits well in the vehicle. My vehicle has been parked in a parking lot with all windows rolled up in the scorching heat the last few weeks with outside temperatures approaching 90 degrees. I imagine the inside temperature of the vehicle is much hotter. When I get back out to my car after work the bottle is warm to the touch on the outside, but when I take a sip of water it is still just as cold as it was the morning I poured it and the ice is still in there, with very little melting. I have not put warm liquids in this bottle yet so I’m not sure how well it keeps liquids warm. The lock and seal on this bottle are both well engineered. I have never had any leaking or accidental top opening and would feel confident in throwing this bottle in a bag knowing it won’t leak. The lid and seal can be removed to hand wash, but I wouldn’t put it in the dishwasher if you want the seal to stay in good condition. This bottle is my go to bottle now at home and at the office, but it is a must have if you travel. Definitely worth the money you pay and based upon my experience with other similar products this blows the Yeti Rambler out of the water in terms of ice/cold water retention. Fantastic product.
