I bought a large thermos for traveling and felt an urgent need to share my findings about the two. They both had great reviews on Amazon so it was surprising to see how much better one was for my needs compared to the other!
The Stanley is my pick and the reasons are pretty simple. Usability, sturdiness, and quality materials were my reasons for choosing the Stanley.
Here's the link to buy the Stanley: amzn.to/3o0TRCO
The handle is built a lot better. It has a rubber grip on the inside and sits super straight on the bottle. The Thermos handle feels a little cheap and jangles around. The links are not built to be a tight fit but seem rather like they are supposed to be loose and clanky. I felt the handle being built this way made it hard to pour things out of the Thermos bottle.
The Thermos also immediately wobbled when I set it down and the Stanley didn’t. The Stanley also had a brushed metal and brushed materials kind of feel to it whereas the Thermos had a shiny look to if. This made fingerprints show a lot more on the Thermos.
Overall I am super happy with the Stanley and will be returning the Thermos. I just wanted to share this with everyone since we are in a pandemic and my family has been going out a lot more than before. I figured it’s like that for many others, too.
If you guys have any questions then leave them in the comments and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. If you buy through the link, I earn a small commission, thanks!!
Hope this helps and thanks for watching!!
Main use of these bottles is to maintain hot/cold drinks for a long period of time. I have both of them and Thermos is a WINNER.
Negative multiple test I have done the Stanley not only won the Hot but Cold as well also check out multiple CZcams videos that do comparisons.
I have both. Stanley has better aesthetics but Thermos keeps things hotter much longer.
Very cool !
That hasnt been my experience with the food jars. Stanley quality is in the toilet.
Which one keeps it colder the longest?
Ive had two thermos brands fail, bought a stanley its vastly superior
Got my Thermos from Thermos and it's great. I bought it yesterday. This morning, at 6:15 am, I filled it with boiling hot water to make tea. Now, as I write this at 5:50 pm, so 12 hours later, the tea is still hot. As I work in construction in the cold, wind and rain, this is an amazing purchase.
Yay!! I’m so happy for you and glad it is keeping you warm~~

Stanley makes an excellent product but I have been very successful with my thermos's.. I found that heat retention was about the same between my 40 oz Stanley and my 40 oz thermos. The 68 oz Thermos that you reviewed is my FAVORITE, I own two. We call them ICEMAN ( And we attempt our best Tom Cruise imitation when we requested it haha) 😄 Mine don't wobble so thats unusual. They of course do have the same flimsy handle but I chose that over any other brand because of its large mouth. When I camp I use it as my ice bucket and it works fantastic! I fill it with ice cubes then lay it in the bottom of my cooler and I have ice for a week or more, Hardly any melting! I've even had it sitting on a countertop for four days at my daughter's house on a recent visit, (who never has enough ice lol at least not for me 🍸😁 ) I ran out of ice before it melted. There was some melting during that time when it was not refrigerated but it was still very handy. Just hoping these tips can help others.
I use stanley only because my grandpa used one while he worked at a power plant. So i have one i use for when i go fishing. It keeps my English breakfast tea hot.
The brand thermos will keep your drinks hotter for a longer period of time even if the Stanley brand looks sturdier, that is something to keep in mind.
I just got two of the made in U.S.A Stanleys from a flea market for 10$ each. The vintage ones have a smaller opening and do no keep hot or cold as long, but they will be here hundreds of years from now! The quality on the vintage is night and day better, the weight is probably double.
Very cool!
@@reviewerofallthings5189 Thank you for they reply!
Remove the stopper and shake it. Does it sound like sand? If so, the insulation inside has broken down, thus it's insulation properties have been compromised. Initiate a warranty claim on their site. All you have to do is describe the problem, send pic of issue, pics of the item, and a pic of the bottom of item. Also while making the claim on the site, they'll ask questions about the item as well, so have it nearby. If they are dented though (as with ANY vacume sealed bottle/tumbler/ect) then the item is compromised thus it won't keep things as hot/cold as it used to.
@@davidstokes9706 Thank you for the reply. I tested it. That design does very well, mine do not make noise when shaken. The design after that with the pour through stopper is not as good at insulating.
I am dumbfounded that anybody would do a thermos "review" and not mention the most important part- how well it keeps temp.
Very good point but for me the jangling alone was enough for me to not want to keep the Thermos.
I loved my Stanley Master series thermos and used it from Monday to Friday for a whole year, but then the stopper broke, there was no external force involved, it just teared, I assume the vacuum of the slowly cooling beverage was too much.
The bottle itself was absolutely perfect, kept my tea or coffee hot for over 24 hours and the cup was really well made.
When I contacted the customer service (in Europe) they did not answer, so I sent a second email a few weeks later.
They promised they would look at the issue, but I have never heard from them again, even after contacting them again.
I would even buy a replacement stopper, but last time I checked, they were not selling.
Just my personal experience with Stanley.
Love the bottle, but the lifelong guarantee is a joke.
I just made a warranty claim for a 1.1qt vacuum bottle. Within 24 hours, I had a resolution. And within that 24 hours (even though the claim site said they were back logged), they have sent me a replacement with a tracking #. (I am in the USA 🇺🇸, not sure if that helped, but there it is).
@@davidstokes9706 That is very interesting and good to hear!
In my case, after maybe be 9 months I considered buying a new thermos but then contacted Stanley again and brought up my old warranty claim in a last attempt to get a replacement part. This time I mentioned that I plan to report my customer service experience in the Amazon reviews.
After that, I received a replacement within a few days.
Not sure if the be EU customer service doesn't work as well as in the US or whether I just had bad luck with my request, but I'm back to using my Stanley thermos.
I have both of them but my thermos is gray and I use my thermos a lot more then the Stanley cuz of the temperature. Started using the Stanley as a back up
What about the temperature?
I just bought the thermos king. It is the best
That’s great!
Just got a couple from Walmart. Got the larger and the cold version. I love both of them. The Hammerstone Green is awesome too.
That is great ~ hope you get lots of wonderful use out of them!!
For some reason i like thermos, it looks old, and i really like it
That’s awesome ~
Stanley over thermos everyday of the week! Much more durable as well.
my father was a trucker, he used the original steel stanley that i am currently restoring.
How cool is that! Stanley is a great product and it is definitely something I could see getting restored later on when mine is older.
how about the heat retention between those two flask
Heat retention is similar.
I have a Thermos ( black ) and I love it 👍🏻.
I have a Thermos and love mine, too!
THIS WAS SO GOOD!!!! Now I’m curious about all the different brands. This week was all HYDROFLASK week. I had never even heard of them. And the clanging of the Thermos was painful so it’s a hard no just for that reason.
We took the Stanley on a picnic and the water was still piping hot when we opened it up. I think it was 5 hours later and we all had to wait for our drinks to cool off before drinking them!
It is clear from your review that you are biased towards the Thermos brand. The review is to compare which one maintains the longest period of heat
Kindly... Make a detailed video... Showing ur user experience of it. Plz clarify, can i insert hand to clean it.
Regards
You cannot insert hand to clean it. I use a long brush!
The wider the mouth, the less it will keep items hot/cold. Because the vacume insulation isn't there.
I got the thermos for 5 dollars in a drift store
Wow awesome !
Which one holds the temperature better though?
They were similar but Stanley held it a bit longer .. although the Stanley also holds less and seems to have thicker walls.
The thermos does.
No thermal test?
No sorry .. but they both did great with hot water!! Kept it hot for 36 hours!
My Stanley 2 qt wobbles like your Thermos. My complaint with these is that they don't keep heat for sht. I add boiling water to the Stanley to heat it up for a few minutes. Pour out the water then add HOT coffee...heat only lasts 4 hours before its tepid bath water. I'm looking for a replacement, my glass insulated coffee decanter will keep coffee at coffee pot temperature for 24 hours easy.
Oh my goodness! Is there a chance the vacuum seal is broken? Mine will hold the heat for over 24 hours easy.
Not sure how I can tell, I can leave is on its side full of hot coffee overnight with no leakage but in the AM its cold.
If the temperature doesn’t hold then the vacuum seal could be broken. Even if it is a small hole this can happen. I’m sorry you are not happy with your Stanley.
Call Stanley tell them you have lost the vacuum seal and they will send you a new one
Thanks for your review on this
Hello, who retains heat and cold better?
They’re pretty much the same. It’s more about what exterior and brand do you prefer. Love them both!
Hi, I bought Thermos 1.2 liter today. I filled the boiling water and tightened the cap tightly. I couldn't see any problems with leakage etc. I will do a heat test tomorrow morning, but I noticed that the mouth of the product, that is, the part covered by the glass lid, is getting hot, is this normal?
It seems like the lid getting hot shouldn’t happen since it could be a hazard to you. Maybe you should try contacting them and asking about that. Either way be careful!
@@reviewerofallthings5189 thanks
Which one works best?
I personally like the Stanley better.
omgg i have a stanley thermos and i honestly just can’t get the handle in one position 😭
Is your Stanley classic double insulated because I bought one for $21.00 and when I pored the tea in it was not as hot when I first pored the tea inside the bottle. The old classic had glass insulation which kept the tea very nice and hot. The new ones made in China are cheaply made and the temperature diminishes. How does yours's work? Also they shouldn't call it classic if it does not work like the old classic ones.
Yes, it is double insulated and holds the temperature very well. Maybe yours was a defective one?
@@reviewerofallthings5189 These particular ones are not double Insulated according to the details description. However the you may have purchased is, you also may have paid a higher price or not. I was told to condition it with Boiling water. I also have a kettle pot that's very old. I will make all the these adjustments and if all fails I will return this item foe a double Insulated bottle.
If you got one that the stopper is not 'solid', meaning if the stopper is in the bottle is there still a 'hole' that goes down into the opening? If that's the case, Stanley realized that stopper design is flawed so they stopped making that stopper. If you have that kind of stopper contact them and they'll send the corrected one for FREE.
How about the caps? When using caps as cups for hot boiled water, which one heats up slower? I believe the slower is better, right? So i can still hold it as it not so hot to touch. Thanks a lot
I do not use the cups so I’m not sure :(
I find my thermos heats up a little slower than my metal Stanley lid cup, however when the point is to let the too-hot liquid cool down quickly in order to drink it, I prefer the metal Stanley lid, as I also do for durability. Then I also bring my own little cup as well for fun.
What is the most usual way to call this object in the US? Thermos or flask? I’m from Argentina
Te respondo yo en castellano jajaja... Creo que a ellos les pasó lo mismo que a nosotros. Thermos, si no me equivoco, fue la primera marca en fabricar botellas de vacío... Y se extendió el uso de la marca para referirse al producto
How do i put down the handle?
The joints should let you jiggle them down so they are flush.
I've got big thermos one best flask even keeps tea hot yes hot over 24 hrs omg amzing
Which is best for holding warm water?
They are both great! One has a handle that jingles and the other one doesn’t. I personally chose the Stanley but the Thermos does retain the hot temperature pretty well, too!
Terrible review , no info on if it keeps water hot for a long time etc ,
And also what a absolute waste of a thermos/flask and the company's money just to buy it and return it just so it can go in the bin , shockingly selfish
I bought it with intent to keep both actually but thank you for the input!
