These general maintenance tips should greatly increase the lifespan of your new tumbler. Use them to keep your cup clean and good to use.
To find the best tumbler for your needs, consider the following criteria:
Price: Insulated cups will range from $10 to $40. The vast majority of these cups will differ in the quality of their vacuum seal and thus will retain temperature differently. Cheaper models will also “lose” their vacuum-insulation by leaking air into the container walls. They will also dent and scratch more easily. In choosing between a cheap and expensive tumbler, ask yourself how long you expect the product to last.
Size: Most companies produce cups with sizes ranging from 10 to 30 ounces. Depending on the size of your cup, you will have to accommodate cup holders and buy different accessories. For example, each size of cup will require a different sized lid and handle.
Performance: Most tumbler cups will keep drinks cold for 8 hours and hot for 4 hours. Of course, these are overly general statements and rough approximations at best. The actual length of temperature retention will greatly depend on the brand you choose and the temperature of the climate that you are in.
Warranty: The best tumbler brands will offer lifetime warranties to uphold their reputation for durability. One such company is Hydro Flask. They promise to replace any defects from manufacturing for the rest of the time they are in business. Others will offer short 30-day return programs like Rtic. The longest warranties will come from expensive brands as you would imagine.
