Which Insulated Tumbler Brand Wins?

leaked just about the same amount as the Milwaukee when tipped over on its side; leaks pretty badly around the straw gasket when facing upside down

leaked a little bit more than the Tervis Cat when tipped over; performed about the same as the Tervis Cat facing upside down

leaks pretty badly, just like the CamelBak, both when tipped over and when facing upside down

small amount of water splashed out when tipped over; did not leak when gently placed upside down

small amount of water seeping out of the lid when tipped over; held all the water in when placed upside down

not designed to prevent tip-over leaks; leaks quite a bit of water when facing upside down

first tumbler in the lineup with zero leakage; held all the water when tipped over and when upside down

held in all the water when tipped over and when placed upside down

struggled badly tipping over on its side and leaked pretty badly facing down

held everything in when tipped over and when facing upside down

leaked a small amount when tipped over ('marks its territory just a little') and leaked more when facing upside down

performed a little better than the Stanley both tipped over and facing upside down

did not leak a drop tipped over or upside down with the straw position closed; with the straw open, a small amount of leakage tipped over and a little more upside down

leaked a small amount tipped over; a slow drip facing upside down

performed as well as many of the insulated tumblers when tipped over, but leaked pretty badly facing upside down

best of all tumblers tested, moved into the lead over the Stanley

close second place behind the Corkcicle

coolest yet at that point in the test order

worst cold retention of all tumblers tested

about 3.5 degrees cooler (better) than the Chilamics

moved into second place behind the Ozark Trail

moved into the lead at that point in testing

moved into the lead at that point in testing

struggled to keep the water cool

barely edged out the Norday, about 1.5 degrees warmer than average

a little better than average but not as good as the Stanley

almost as well as the Stanley

better than average, fourth place behind the Buc-ee's

not applicable, this baseline was used only in the hot-retention freezer test

after 4 hours in the freezer, by far the best of all tumblers tested

second best behind the Corkcicle, tall/narrow design credited

a lot better than average

better than the uninsulated cup but near the low end

trailed the Chilamics by almost 1 degree

about 8.5 degrees hotter (better) than the Chilamics, credited to its tall/narrow profile and lid design

struggled, about 2 degrees cooler than the Ozark Trail

transcript says this is 'about a degree warmer than the Arctic Tumblers,' but the Arctic Tumblers figure given is 104.9 F, so 104 F is actually colder, not warmer; kept verbatim and flagged as an internal inconsistency rather than corrected

performed very well, credited to its tall/narrow profile like the Contigo; transcript then says the Tervis Cat 'struggled...just like the Contigo and CamelBak,' which is inconsistent with CamelBak's own strong 115 F result here; kept verbatim and flagged rather than resolved

about the same as the Arctic Tumblers

described as struggling in this test

a little better than average but not as good as the Stanley

better than average despite not being marketed for hot liquids

a lot better than average

mostly frozen after 4 hours in the freezer; specific numeric temperature not stated, described only as 'mostly frozen'

struggled laying down

looked unstable but performed better than some other brands

quite a bit better than average

performed well

better than the Ozark Trail despite being tall and narrow

less likely to tip than most of the previously tested tumblers

moved into second place behind the Chilamics

flopped over, the worst stability result in the video; narrow rounded bottom design called out as poor

no specific degree figure stated in the narration; described as looking stable, but rubber padding on the bottom hurt its actual performance

stayed on its feet better than most of the competition

extremely well, third place behind the Tervis Cat

next to last place, very prone to tipping over due to a narrow bottom

struggled, described as definitely tip-over prone

outperformed every insulated tumbler tested, finishing first place

metal straw hit the concrete floor and became bent on impact; small amount of water loss, lid itself not damaged

lid cover flew off on impact and lost a few oz of water, but the lid attachment snapped back into position with no damage

lid cover flew off and the sliding cover detached on impact, but was found and snapped back into position without damage

lid came off on impact, spilling close to 30 oz of water, and the lid broke into two pieces

lid came off on impact making a mess, but the lid itself held up with no visible damage

lid took a big impact but stayed on the tumbler; only a few oz of water leaked and no damage to the lid

lid stayed mostly in position, losing only a few oz of water, but part of the lid cover broke and the lid became very difficult to open afterward

lid stayed on after impact, but part of the lid cover broke

lost its lid cover on impact, made a mess, but the lid itself survived without damage

lid came off, and though not visibly damaged it developed a pretty bad crack so the slider no longer opens fully

took a big bounce on impact and the lid came off, but both lid and tumbler survived without damage

lid stayed on impact, but the magnetic slider detached; it went back into position without damage

screw-on lid stayed in place; only a very small amount of water escaped and no damage to the lid

rotating lid cover flew off on impact but snapped back into position with no damage

not mentioned in the drop test section

no force figure given in the narration; the sentence describing this test cuts off ('Let's get the Corkcicle since it remains open with the straw'), likely a caption gap

pretty easy to rotate

raised grip area in a good location, easy to grip and work with

about 2 lb of force

easier to open than the Chilamics

moves without much force, though the push/pull point location makes it a little challenging

easy access and minimal effort

about three times the force needed for the Arctic Tumblers

the most force needed of any tumbler tested, described as surprisingly stiff

does not slide easily; raised grip area harder to work with than the Buc-ee's

very easy to work with, minimal force

very smooth and easy with the magnetic slider

part of the lid cover has to rotate to access the straw

well designed and pretty easy to access, though a little more force than some other brands

not applicable, no lid

overflowing before the lid can be fully installed at 30 oz

holds the advertised 30 oz with room left for the lid

barely held 30 oz with not enough space left for the lid

holds 30 oz but there is not enough space inside for the lid

seems to hold about the same amount of water as the Chilamics; lid fit not explicitly confirmed

rated for 32 oz; held 30 oz with room to spare for the lid

holds very close to 30 oz

first 30 oz tumbler in the video that actually holds 30 oz with enough room left for the lid

holds 30 oz and almost has enough room for the lid

almost ran out of space for 30 oz

very close to overflowing with 30 oz

holds 30 oz without the lid, but not enough space for the lid

holds 30 oz but overflows before the lid can be installed

holds 30 oz but the lid does not fit

not mentioned in the capacity test section

small amount of corrosion on the top of the tumbler

a little more rust than some of the less expensive tumblers, called an area for improvement

about the same as the CamelBak, just a small amount of rust

experienced quite a bit of corrosion, among the worst tested

small amount of rust, not nearly as bad as the Chilamics

about the same amount of oxidation as the Ozark Trail

by far the best result seen at that point, no corrosion at all

about the same amount of corrosion as the Ozark Trail and Contigo

performed better than the Beast, but not as well as the Arctic Tumblers

a lot more rusting than most of the other brands

performed a lot better than most of the other brands

extremely well, no corrosion at all

extremely well, no rust at all

better than average overall but flagged as an area that could use improvement

not mentioned in the corrosion test section
