Best Stanley Classic Vacuum Food Jar 17 ounce/.5 liter Deals

Customer Ratings:

The Stanley 17 oz is perfect for lunch or a hike. The bottle looks well made and rugged like my older and larger stanley thermos. I was surprised however that this Stanley product is made in China. That does not take away from the quality but I have associated Stanley products with "Made in the USA". The other issue is that this bottle does not have a handle as decribed in the advertisement it has no handle at all. The circumferance is just manageable by a medium sized adult hand. A handle would be nice when you have several things to carry otherwise this bottle needs to be in a bag or other container.

As happened to another reviewer, I bought one of these, it worked fine for a couple weeks, then could not keep soup hot even for a couple hours. I noticed vertical hairline cracks around the lip of the bottom section, where it meets the main body. (I had hand washed it, no dish washer or microwave, etc.) I assumed those cracks ruined the vacuum barrier and any heat retention.

As I loved the size and apparent sturdiness, I tried another. When I bought it, the bottom piece was smooth and shiny. (I checked carefully.) Then in just a couple weeks the same thing happened, hairline cracks and no heat retention. The "cracks" appear to be thin vertical cuts, pretty uniform in depth and spacing. To me it looks like instead of working with precision parts, they ram on the bottom cap with pre-cut notches to make it fit (sort of), then cover over the thin cuts. I'm about to send the second one back (as I saved the receipt), but given the other reviewer's experience with the highly touted "lifetime warranty," I'm not optimistic.

Too bad a once reliable brand has gone cheap. Do not buy.

Yes, no handle and made in China. Other than that, this product keeps food hot. I found this thermos in Target with clearance price ($8.98) and I am very happy. It keeps food hot for hours. Regular price at Walmart and Target is $17.98.

Honest reviews on Stanley Classic Vacuum Food Jar 17 ounce/.5 liter

I've tried several thermos jugs for my kids' lunches but their soup would be barely warm by noon. This Stanley will keep soup HOT for at least 6 hours and very warm for longer than that. I have been very pleased with this purchase.

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.
