The sleek, brushed-finish, stainless-steel body of the mug fits any standard car cup holder. OXOs signature soft, non-slip material rings the mug neck, allowing for a secure grip when drinking or unscrewing the contoured lid. The mug holds 14 ounces--room for a double-tall latte with extra foam. A marked max line inside prevents over-filling. Preheating or pre-chilling the mug is recommended for increased insulation value. For best results, wash the mug by hand after each use. OXO backs all its products with a satisfaction warranty, and will replace or refund any returned item. --Ann Bieri

2.0 out of 5 stars
design flaw ruined it for me,
By
This review is from: OXO Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
It's too bad, because OXO clearly put a lot of thought into the design of this travel mug. It really keeps things hot for a long time [5+ hours]. It doesn't leak, at all. It's sculpted to fit nicely into cup holders. It's nice looking.
However, it's impossible to ever really clean this thing. The lid has a complex spout and airhole which lead to an area that is off-limits to any sponges or washcloths. The result? Well, whatever you are drinking will, over time, become trapped in there and ... well, you can imagine the rest. I drank coffee with lots of milk from this mug. So I found myself using the ultra-hot tap at work to try to clean it out. I would do this with the lid clicked shut so the water could pool in the lid and the resulting stuff that oozed out while the hot water was going to work was pretty gross. Even if I did this once a week it wouldn't really be enough. What can I say? It skeeved me out. After a while, some sort of liquid actually got trapped in there and I could hear it sloshing around, even when I had just cleaned it and let it dry for hours. Again: really, really gross. To me, anyway. This may not bother you at all. If so, more power to you and you should get this mug. You'll probably love it. I just couldn't get past it.

Hi A. Price I'm Kimberly with OXO. Thank you so much for your feedback on the LiquiSeal Travel Mug. At OXO we're committed to developing innovative products that make everyday living easier. To make good on this mission, we pay close (some might say "obsessive") attention to every detail so that we deliver products that maximize comfort AND performance. We study what works and doesn't work about existing products, including our own, and identify ways to make them better. It's a big part of what makes an OXO product an "OXO Product." Still, despite all our best efforts, occasionally we fall short, which is why user feedback like yours is such an important part of our process. The cleaning issue you are referring to is something that was a concern for us as well and we thought it was very important to fix. We have actually updated our travel mugs to incorporate a detachable seal for more thorough cleaning. We do have a satisfaction guarantee so with this product or any other OXO product if for any reason you are not satisfied, return it for repair, replacement or refund. Below I've also included some helpful cleaning hints for OXO Travel Mugs. Hope this helps! OXO Travel Mug Cleaning Suggestions: Coffees, teas, and creamers are oil-based products, it is necessary to use dish soap to remove any residues. When cleaning the mug, please ensure that the button is in the open position. You can soak and run warm mild soapy water through it, followed by a thorough rinsing with pressurized water from your tap ending in cold water rinse to eliminate soap residue. You may also cleanse with diluted vinegar if you prefer. We suggest that you wash daily after each use. If the contents or residue have been left in the OXO Travel Mug for a longer period of time without the daily suggested maintenance, the cleaning time will increase. To prevent odors, it is necessary to cleanse the mug as soon as the mug is emptied of its contents, as storing a sealed mug with leftover drinks for extended time may trap unpleasant smells such as soured creamer etc. Please also ensure that your lid is allowed to thoroughly air dry with the button in the open position before storing your product. These simple steps will allow you to use your OXO mug for many years. The Travel Mug lid is not recommended for use in the dishwasher. It is not recommended to probe the lid with any tool as this could result in damage to any of the three seals contained for proper functioning. Trapped water in lid: There is an air chamber in the LiquiSeal™ Travel Mug lid. If this chamber is fractured by dropping or damage in anyway, it can trap water and is recommended to no longer use.

An Unhygienic design flaw,
By
This review is from: OXO Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
After 5 weeks of daily use, it’s time to throw it away. Despite my best cleaning efforts, the lid eventually began to smell bad. Liquid eventually got trapped inside the hollow area of the lid & is impossible to clean out without breaking the lid open (which I did). The brownish, moldy, & putrefied semi-liquid that came out was beyond disgusting.
To those of you that own this mug, may I suggest? • Rinse the mug immediately with water after drinking if you can’t wash it right away. • After washing the lid, give it the “sniff” test. If the lid smells “funny”, or just downright stinks, throw it away or return it & demand your money back. That hollow area inside the lid is a bacterial breeding ground. It’s not worth getting sick over. The lid wasn’t designed to be disassembled. I permanently broke mine when I took it apart. The spill-proof design of this mug is in my opinion, the best I’ve seen so far. It definitely lives up to the term “spill-proof”, which is why I purchased this mug in the first place. If Oxo can implement a lid design that will disassemble for cleaning, it would fix the only flaw that I can find on an otherwise well made product. I’m ready to give this product a second try, but right now I & my money will hold-out for version 2.0.

Travels well - no leaks,
By
This review is from: OXO Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I took this on an extended road trip and used it for both hot and cold drinks, most of the time it ended up rolling back and forth on the passenger comparment floor. At the last stop I filled it with cold water and threw it into the trunk while getting my car cleaned inside and out.
Well, frankly, I forgot about it and it bounced around my car trunk for a couple of months and when I went to salvage it and drain the water out, I observed that not one drop had leaked out. Not only did the seal hold the liquid in and keep the crud out, but when I was actively using it the beverages stayed hot or cold for most of the day. This is a handy travel mug because it fits in the cupholder of most cars and if not, it can roll around on the floor or car seat and still not spill anything. The one handed operation of this mug is ideal for road warriors: cell phone in one hand, mug in the other, one knee on the steering wheel! :) 2115|R2G339A1JGBO4F;2115|RX6P1069IMJT7;2115|REHIT0I6KGS85;
