What was once a symbol of your eco-friendly lifestyle has now become a status symbol - with people owning whole walls of reusable bottles to show off online....
I was super resistant to buying a yeti for years, but was given one in a grab bag from a vendor.
Out of my dozens of vaccum walled containers from no-name brands, it’s the only one that hasn’t had the vaccum fail on it, and I’ve been using it daily for 3 years.
I still won’t pay for one, but I can’t deny that it’s better quality than the rest.
My wife had one (Yeti), and it worked quite well so I bought one and carry it around quite often. I also happen to watch ‘Project Farm’ on YT and he JUST did a thing on tumblers. Yeti was actually kind of middle of the road compared to the others he tested.
Funny enough, my wife walked in while I was watching it and this is when I found out there was a big Stanley craze happening right now making them hard to get. I do not watch tik tok and I guess that’s where it started. At any rate the Stanley ranks pretty high on actual function against the others he tested.
For real, easy cleaning is so under rated. When I see bottles with super complicated lids and small openings, I think, “that’s almost literally only for water or I’m going to struggle keeping it clean”
I guess that’s why hydro flask is pleading with me to hand wash my bottle with all those stickers
In seriousness I’ve never seen a steel vaccuum water bottle advertise as being dishwasher safe, I just assumed it’s one of those things I have to suck it up for like knives? How long do the bottles last in the dishwasher Lol
The one that failed had been machine washed every day for about 5 years. The rest are still fine.
The only reason they say they aren’t dishwasher safe is any colored paint will peel off. After the first round of peeled paint 5 years ago, I only buy plain stainless. I put water proof stickers on them for the kids.

How can you tell when the vacuum has failed?
I wash them in the dishwasher. One got water inside the vacuum gap.

Thanks! I like the green on my hydro flask so I’ll continue to baby it, but really good to know.
It won’t keep stuff hot/cold for nearly as long as it did new.
Ha, I didn’t pay for mine either. Xmas gift in '19 from a girlfriend(ex). It’s even engraved with my initials.
