I bought this to use as a coffee mug on deployment in Iraq, as I could throw this in my ruck sack or or butt pack and know it wouldn't leak. The size is adequate for a pick-me-up cup of coffee, and nearly five years later I still use it almost daily as my only insulated mug. Doesn't leak, insulates well, not coming apart at all structurally. Toughly built; only the 'THERMOS' etching has finally worn off. Solid.

Exactly as promised. Works great for sending hot lunches to school. A perfect size for them!

My six year old son uses this for taking food to school. He has been happy with it for the last two years. It has shown no sign of wear..

I bought these for my 3 kids to send foods to school. I put boiling water in them for 10 minutes before I add their hot food. By lunchtime their food is cold. I'm in the process of looking for something that'll work better.

I bought two of these with which to send hot food in my kids' lunches. I specifically bought Thermos because i remembered my Dad's thermos when i was little kept his coffee extrememely hot for hours. This food jar does NOT keep my kids' food hot. I had lunch at school with my son and was shocked to find that the pasta we had put into it was room temperature at 10:30 in the morning. He told me it was always like this. I subsequently tested both of the jars, just in case that was an aberrancy: i put boiling water in them, sealed tightly, and checked them 4 hours later. Both were room temperature. I bought them at Target and didn't save the receipt or packaging because it didn't occur to me that Thermos would produce a product that didn't work correctly, so i'm stuck with them. A complete waste of $40! ($20 each)

I bought this for my kid's lunch. I faithfully followed the directions of filling it in the morning with boiling water for 10-15 minutes prior to filling with hot food. Nevertheless, the lunch was room temperature, not just one day but EVERY single time we used it! Lunches were kept in backpacks on hooks in the classroom--in other words, at room temperature all morning.

The upside is that we never had issues with it leaking. So if you just want something lukewarm to stay in a leakproof container, this will fill the bill. If you want hot, it's a gamble. The thermal insulation NEVER worked for my family.

So disappointed that I wasted money on this piece of junk. I am hopeful there is something else out there so that I don't have to give up on my child getting a hot lunch from home.

Product arrived in good condition and in good time. We have bought this product before and wanted to stay with a proven brand
