I have done many blogs on the 30oz Stainless Tumbler trend and competition. We, as a family, have even converted to them, and use them solely, for the most part. Now, we can add a splash of color to our original stainless tumblers, without having to, unnecessarily, ordering a new colored tumbler. Which, by the way, can be pricey. We can add a splash of color, and change out our cups, by just changing out the lid. I ordered their vibrant pink colored lid, but they do have it available in 7 colors in all. The colors available are all vibrant and deep, translucent colors: Purple, Light Purple, Pink, Green, Orange, Red, Blue. The lid has the sliding cover that completely covers up the drinking spout, for a splash free walk around town, or just to your vehicle. It holds really well too. If your cup dumps over, liquid will leak through the sliding port cover. It is not fully leak proof. There is a wide, and thick silicone ring that creates a really tight seal in the 30oz Yeti tumbler, as well as some of the competitors. I obviously only have a few competitors to test it on. I have one of the competitors that, unfortunately, did not make their opening dimension the same. So, this will not fit with a cup like that. This lid is made out of BPA free plastic. Which, really doesn’t matter, since your drink does not rest in it. It is dishwasher safe, although I only hand wash mine, like everything else. I love how well packaged it comes too. It is mailed in a regular box, not mail order shrink wrap packaging, lol. So, it is definitely a gift worthy item, and the perfect stocking stuffer with the holidays approaching. You can even order colors for the holidays, like orange for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Red or Green for Christmas, and on and on. I am so happy with this lids’ quality. I am comfortable recommending it.

A formidable opponent in the tumbler industry. – Greatness Lines’ 30 oz. Tumblers Value Pack. https://cspierdowis.com/a-formidable-opponent-in-the-tumbler-industry-greatness-lines-30-oz-tumblers-value-pack/ https://cspierdowis.com/a-formidable-opponent-in-the-tumbler-industry-greatness-lines-30-oz-tumblers-value-pack/#respond Mon, 25 Jul 2016 00:42:00 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=4765  

Here is another cup that has entered the Stainless tumbler arena. I like how strong it came out to the market. It arrived with all the bells and whistles. I have the original 30oz Yeti Tumbler, and I love it. We also have quite a few of the competitors now, lol. Let me tell you, I compare them all to the Yeti, and against each other. I am very picky now, and demand that my ice not melt quickly. I always have a glass filled to the top with ice, and then I add my drink. With my constant anaphylactic reactions, I always have a swollen and raw throat. An icy drink all day, and I mean 24/7, really helps. So, I do not hold back if the cup doesn’t live up to my expectations. I am very, very happy to say, that this cup does indeed, keep my ice, ice, for a long time. I can take my cup, fill it with ice to the top, pour in room temperature soda, and then sip on it, like I usually do. When I go to refill it, I only have to add a couple cubes to keep it filled to the top with ice, lol. The cup measures out at 4” in diameter, at the top, and 8” tall to the top of the lid. It is just slightly more narrow at the top than my Yeti. I have a black carry handle, and it fits this tumbler by Greatness Line, but it just fits. It slides up to almost the top of the cup. But, the accessory is still quite usable and I am using it. Leaving my cup sit over night with ice and water, I still had a lot of ice left in the cup in the morning. It really works like my Yeti, so I am very happy with it. It’s made well. The tops seal very well. I love the straw and extra top that come with the cup. The stainless steel straw is thick and durable and long enough to really fit the cup. The diameter is large enough too, for a smoothie. The You can never really feel the temp of the drink inside of it, when holding it. It is always a comfortable temperature to hold. It is made out of 18/8 stainless steel. It will fit into my cup holders in my Honda. I’m sure due to the size, it might not fit into some. I have large cup holders in mine, fortunately. I really like everything about this complete set. You really can’t beat the price it’s at. Currently it’s at $19.95 for everything, which is great. It’s a formidable opponent in the tumbler arena.

Still fits your cup holders. – GLO Handle For 30 Oz YETI Rambler and more. https://cspierdowis.com/still-fits-your-cup-holders-glo-handle-for-30-oz-yeti-rambler-and-more/ https://cspierdowis.com/still-fits-your-cup-holders-glo-handle-for-30-oz-yeti-rambler-and-more/#respond Tue, 21 Jun 2016 04:38:29 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=4339

Ironically, I recently had the chance to review a handle for my 30oz Yeti tumbler. When this one from Grab Life Outdoors on Amazon, came up, I was highly intrigued, and highly skeptical. This handle has no bottom support for the handle itself. I thought, no way is this going to work well. No way would it not be bendy. Well, let me tell you what, this handle proved me wrong 100%. Kudos to the handle. This is one tough and ridged handle. It has not even flexed on me. They made this tumbler handle out of BPA free, food grade Nylon. I do have kitchen cooking tools made out of that material as well. And they really have held up.  So, I am very familiar with it. This handle is easy to clean and keep clean. It really doesn’t show any fingerprints. It stays a consistent temperature and has always been comfortable to hold and use. It’s easy to grasp onto as well. You do not need a large hand to hold onto it comfortable. On the flip side, a larger man’s hand still has a comfortable grip on it as well. What I really like about this style of tumbler handle, is that I can still use it on the go in my car’s cup holders. They are pretty deep, and the double wrap around style handle needs to come off before placing my cup in the cup holder. If you have strength issues and already struggle with the 30oz Yeti when it’s full, this handle does add a little bit of weight to it. In case that is a concern for you. On the upside of that, the grip on the actual cup is easier with the handle on it, so that may make this still beneficial for you. I love how durable it is. Once you slide it onto your cup, and lift your cup up with it, it really holds in place well. It does not slide down at all. I always fill my cup to the top with ice, and then add my beverage. So, even fully weighted with liquid and ice, the handle stands true. You can run it through the dishwasher, however, I hand wash everything anyhow. I am very comfortable recommending this product. It’s a great benefit to the cup.

Another great tumbler. – Simple Modern Vacuum Insulated 30oz Stainless Steel Tumbler. https://cspierdowis.com/another-great-tumbler-simple-modern-vacuum-insulated-30oz-stainless-steel-tumbler/ https://cspierdowis.com/another-great-tumbler-simple-modern-vacuum-insulated-30oz-stainless-steel-tumbler/#respond Tue, 31 May 2016 20:58:09 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=4159  

Let me tell you, we had been converted Tervis people. Then, my son moved us over to the Yeti stainless cups. We have officially been converted over to the Yeti side, lol. I have tried other competitor brands, but this is my first 30oz competitor cup. I use my 30oz Yeti every day! I just love it. So, I was very, very curious and excited about testing out this competitor. I love the challenge. This mug looks just like my Yeti. It has a smaller bottom area, so it can fit in my car cup holder. I will not use a cup, if it doesn’t fit in my car. My throat swells shut all of the time due to numerous life threatening allergies. My throat is always swollen and sore. I always have a cup fully of an icy drink to sip on, 24/7. My throat wakes me up during the night, and I sip on the icy drink. It really helps. So, it is very important to me that my cup can keep my drink cold for an extended period of time. I did an ice test on this cup first thing. I filled it to the top with ice, and then placed the top on. The top has silicone rings around it, and it creates a great seal. Mind you, there is a drinking hole in the lid. You can fit a narrow straw through this. I have thin stainless steel straws that we use with these cups. After 25 hours, there was actually still some ice left in the cup. It performs as well as my Yeti, which makes me very happy!!!! It even comes in 8 different color choices, for no additional cost. It is made out of 18/8 stainless steel, and has the double wall construction. It is toxin free, chemical free, and safe to drink both hot and cold liquids out of it. My husband took his coffee to work with him. He had a 3 hour drive to the office, too. He is very happy with how this cup is performing with hot liquids. The double wall construction is great. I wouldn’t have it any other way. The cup never sweats. It is comfortable to both hold and drink out of this cup. You can put steamy hot coffee right from the Kuerig in here, and not feel the heat through the cup. We haven’t been able to find any negatives with this cup. It has held its own against our Yeti. Enjoy.

Performs like my Yeti! – Kryogear’s KRYO KUP – 20oz Tumbler Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Mug. https://cspierdowis.com/performs-like-my-yeti-kryogears-kryo-kup-20oz-tumbler-vacuum-insulated-stainless-steel-travel-mug/ https://cspierdowis.com/performs-like-my-yeti-kryogears-kryo-kup-20oz-tumbler-vacuum-insulated-stainless-steel-travel-mug/#respond Tue, 26 Apr 2016 05:31:12 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3818

I am a big fan of these new double walled stainless steel cups. We have the name brand one, Yeti, already. I was excited to compare the two. I like a challenge. This particular cup is by Kryogear on Amazon, and it is the 20oz version. They have the name Kryo nicely etched on the side of the cup. That is literally the only difference between the Kryo cup and the Yeti cup. My cup came with 1 lid and 1 stainless steel straw. It is supposed to come with two lids, but that was of no concern to me, so I never said anything. If that happens to you, you can request the 2nd lid. This cup is made out of 18/8 stainless steel. It is thick and durable. I love stainless. It doesn’t naturally harbor fungus, bacteria, or mold. The lid has a great seal on it and works perfectly. I placed ice in the cup, and after 12 hours of sitting in my living room/kitchen combo space, it had melted approx.. only a 1/6th of the way. I was very impressed indeed. It matches up to the Yeti perfectly. This cup is comfortable to hold when it’s full of ice. Since it is made with a double wall of stainless, hot drinks stay hot longer as well, and is just as comfortable to hold. We love using our cups like this one. I always keep a drink on hand with a ton of ice, even when I go out. I suffer from frequent anaphylactic reactions, and my throat is always sore and swollen. I have to have an icy drink with me. I can rely on this cup to even stay icy throughout the night! I can’t express how important this is to me. I love how they include the straw with the cup. It’s great for those who don’t have a supply on hand already. I love using our stainless straws. Yet again, no chemical worries. With this set up there will be no chemicals leaching into your drinks. This company even offers a lifetime guarantee! I am very comfortable recommending this product. It’s pretty top notch!

Yea! Emoji Cups from Kangaroo’s Emoji Universe: Emoji Tumblers. https://cspierdowis.com/yea-emoji-cups-from-kangaroos-emoji-universe-emoji-tumblers/ https://cspierdowis.com/yea-emoji-cups-from-kangaroos-emoji-universe-emoji-tumblers/#respond Sat, 19 Mar 2016 03:26:22 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3091 Emojis are everywhere. It’s either time to run, or enjoy the craze. My guys are enjoying the craze. Even my 70 year old mother thinks they are fun. If you think about it, they are the updated version of the Happy Face icon. They are very cheery, indeed. You get 2 fun cups in this set from kangaroo. They are both 16oz cups. The straw is removable, but they won’t just fall out. They have a rim which prevents it from falling out. You have to pull them out after the lid is removed. These cups are acrylic plastic, and they are BPA free. That is always a great thing. Quality wise, these are very similar to a lot of cups, but with the new emoji theme. They are both different, so there will be no drink mix ups. One is a mixture of all things emoji, and the other is a more simplified form, not so busy. My lids screw on perfectly. The threading was well done. I hate when you get a cup, and you can never really get the top to go on straight. I throw those right away, lol. I have been hand washing these, and will continue to do so. It’s my experience with cups like this, that they maintain their looks better this way. Something about the heat of the dishwasher, causes lines and cracks in the finish, over time. I have not tested these in the dishwasher, I have just been hand washing. I have no troubles whatsoever with these. They just smile at you while you are enjoying your drink. My 8 year old thinks these are so happy and fun. It’s nice when you can bring enjoyment to your kids in such a simple way.
