You did not add the Ozark Trail tumblers from Walmart
Would love to see a review of the Meoky tumbler!
Definitely need a Round 2. A few brands I'd like to see are Ozark Trails, Corkcicle, Contigo, and lets not forget Thermos, the one that started it all
Yes, Ozark Trail seems to work just as good for far less money - I'd really like to see the comparison. I use mine daily. I actually have to put some ice in my hot tea to get the temp low enough to drink it!
Yeah I agree. The test seems a bit biased too with some of these lids. My klean kanteen has a soft plastic sealed lid that I can fill disassemble. Literally no liquid is getting out of it during and tip or drop.
Also, Owalla!
He could go into TJ Maxx and find another half dozen brands. Personally I have a “Hydrapeak” and it easily keeps ice in it for 24 hours.
Milwaukee PackOut tumblers?
“At a price of $15,899 we will be testing a purple limited edition stanly x Starbucks tumbler”
Great point!
Price seems legit from Starbucks 😂
Made in China
😂🤣😂
Obviously you got yours on sell.
The best part of your reviews is the quick edits. You don’t waste time. Just the facts.
Thanks for watching! You are welcome!
@@ProjectFarm most definitely// no wasted time.. love these videos as its real-world capable information, that said i dishwasher my YETI stuffwithout issue all the time..
The Stanley tumbler has a lead disc underneath the "button" on the bottom of the cup.
Wow! There is a whole lot more tumblers out there to test! And it's kind of hard to belive that there are cups that can survive that drop test!
Just the facts ma’am
this is the most thorough water bottle test I’ve ever seen. I never realized how much I would enjoy watching cups, hit the ground and slow motion😂
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm May I ask why you didn't include Zojirushi? They are arguably the best performing brand. Thanks for all you do!
The little double bounce was very impressive! Lol
The Stanley tumbler has a lead disc underneath the "button" on the bottom of the cup.
This was awesome!
I have a Stanley cup on the way, because I had to see what the hype was about. Someone in my family has one, and I was impressed by the quality and feel of it too. She's only in fifth grade, and so happy to have one like other kids, and boasted in that way fifth graders do how she was gifted the bigger, 40-ounce, while her friend has a 30-ounce.
However, I'd have loved to see the Reduce tumbler added to the line-up. Its solid, but boy is it stiff to open if I leave the straw out.
This is a fantastic comparison.
Thanks!
To honest this guy are very very good
FYI for those that have coffee stains inside tumblers. Used denture cleanser tablets fill tumbler with hot water one tablet let it sit overnight. You’ll be surprised how clean it turns out
Baking soda works finefor most stains. Fill with straight or diluted chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite) for those stubborn stains.
That works and if its really tough use a magic eraser before and after! Just like new!
Bar Keepers Friend cleanser works very good too, its instant while bleach works just as well after a few minutes.
don't clean your coffee mug or thermos. just rinse them out with hot water
I like to use a bit of dishwasher detergent and fill it up with hot water (~80C)
One of the bigger factors I feel you missed out is how easy the flask is to clean (particularly the lid mechinisum, Coffee gets into every nock and cranny
Thanks for the constructive feedback.
Agreed, especially if you drink your coffee with cream. Ease of cleaning is subjective but if you do a round two it might be a category to add
Yea this is one reason I have yeti used to be they were the only ones who said they were dishwasher safe
The yeti magnetic slider seems to be the easiest to clean in my opinion
Thats why I love Klean Kanteen. Many compatible lid options, with or without straw. All can be easily disassembled to be cleaned.
As somebody who tests coffee equipment, including tumblers, for a living I think I'm qualified to say you did an outstanding job.
One test you should maybe add to your reportoire is a cross cut test for rating the durability of a coating.
Thanks so much! Thanks for the suggestion.
I think he needs to test them with hot liquids, and the slider open. Most cups, with the slider open, will not keep coffee warm enough to drink for even a half hour, while others do much better.
RIP my many former mugs.. Love to see repeated hot and cold tests after after some creative abuse.
Before starting each video, I take a few minutes to think of possible tests to test each product. After watching the video, there are ALWAYS at least 2 I never thought of but make so much sense!
I truly appreciate your work in truly thoroughly testing each product. No other videos on YT come close to the thoroughness you have with every product. Makes me proud to be a subscriber!
Oh, that's a fun idea! I'm going to start doing this as well. :)
Thanks so much!
Interestingly I'm a seasoned construction code official. While most memorize a code, it's my job to understand the spirit that the code was intended.
@@ProjectFarm
I just had a thought for a video idea: rivnuts and the associated tools. I've seen comments on Amazon/etc. pages that say a lot of the tools don't offer enough compression to keep the rivnuts from spinning in the holes.
From tools to tumblers. This guy is awsome. Honest and straight-forward.
Thanks!
Agreed! I love to watch all his videos bc he test so many products, variables and just has a cheerful tone which is very entertaining and informative
tumbler is a tool. we need more tools
The Stanley tumbler has a lead disc underneath the "button" on the bottom of the cup.
I remember I was doing so much research and reading reviews when I first started working and wanted to buy one. And even $20 felt super expensive at that time. I just wished this was made ages ago. Thanks though. May this help all future people
Thank you very much!
Please do another round of tests with the ceramic coated tumblers. Because as we all know, all refreshments taste better when drank out of glass/ceramic.
@@edfig_7 Yes This, please.
It is funny how people just buy a ton of 20-30 dollar tumblers now without a second thought.... Or maybe that's just my wife. Lol
Not hating on her though, because I get to use the hand-me-down one for myself because I don't want to spend that much on one.
I feel like I just watched a Consumer Reports video, but with much more detail. Thanks for all the hard work!
You are welcome!
I saw a comment suggesting this video and you replied like you always do and thanked for the video idea and less than a month later here's a video! My hat off for you! There is not a single youtuber who interacts and listens to its audience like you do! I appreciate you and I am sure everyone watching your videos does!❤
Thank you for requesting this one!! I greatly appreciate the opportunity to interact with as many people as possible.
@@ProjectFarm Really appreciate your thoroughly comprehensive evaluations. Have you done or considered testing BIB OVERALLS? There are big differences between different brands. My favorite is Liberty brand now that I can't find Three Brothers brand anymore. Thanks!
Project farm we NEED. A best WHEELBARROW video I’ve wasted so much money on wheelbarrows that break too fast or can’t handle enough weight
Thanks for the suggestion.
In the event you don't get a review video I deal with a company called roll n vac that is basically a shop vac that uses a standard wheel barrow as the vessel. The company found out that crappy wheel barrows will actually crumple under vacuum pressure. They tested a bunch of different models and they recommended the Jackson M6KBUT12 as it handles the vacuum without collapsing
Not on the US but dad and many bought the Frieza wheelbarrows, they look unwieldy because they are built like cybertrucks, but they are sturdy enough that you can ram on everything with reckless abandon.
Extremely expensive (4-6x more) but last a lifetime. There should be analog designs out there, bricklayers don't need rounded edges or lightweight tools. These are just thick slabs welded into rough but effective shape.
The 20oz Harbor Freight stainless steel tumbler sells for $5.99 before any discounts, performs the same as a Yeti in my experience, and uses the same size lids if you want to upgrade to one with a straw or a slider. Unbeatable value. The only challenge is finding where they keep them in the store.
Thanks! Go to their web page for a coupon at $4.19 expires tomorrow. I'll pick on up today 😉
I was hoping they would be included in the test
It probably is made by 1 of the few that makes these cups. Looking at import information it’ll blow your mind how cheap and almost no development is put into these. Pretty sure the only thing yeti does anymore is pick seasonal colors.
Are they dishwasher safe?
Black friday weekend they were selling for $2.49 each. I ended up buying two cases of them.
One of my favorite parts of your videos is the final chart that shows ratings for each feature and each thing tested. It allows one to make decisions based on what is most important to them. In my case, because of how I carry mine, total leak and spill proof are absolutely necessary. Also, because of arthritis, my old super dependable Contigo is getting too difficult for me to use. I chose the arctic because it was rated high in all the categories I had to have. The only one I was a little wary of was how the lid might be dislodged in certain conditions. I ordered it, and am very pleased with it so far. Time will tell if it continues to be a good choice. I am always so pleased with the way you test things. Kudos!
Thanks!
Hey! I love your videos. You have helped me pick out a pressure washer, gloves, heated jacket, and many more items. All have been wonderful purchases thanks to your work!
I have a two suggestions for some other items:
- Hard hats
- Home weather stations
Thank you! I look forward to seeing all your reviews in the future.
Oh, I'd like to see the home weather station one!
@@SomeGuysGarage Additional vote for the home weather station!! Even just an indoor/outdoor temp and humidity sensor would be nice. Thank you for suggesting this, and thank you Todd for the incredibly useful content as always.
I second hardhats! I want the McMaster special that I wear compared to higher end ones (I want to upgrade)
I’d second both, especially the hard hats!
Ooooo home weather stations would be SWEET
Cleaning under the closing mechanism has always been a big factor for me. Yeti is easy to do. Under a lot of the slider type they usually have a little rubber piece that I always loose.
Mmm ease of maintenance is easy to forget when testing product performance
I’m returning a tumbler I tried for that very reason. If it’s just holding water I don’t care, but for coffee I need to be able to clean the entire lid mechanism.
Yeti mag lid is so good for cleaning
This is why we buy Yeti. The mag slider come all the at off so we know it’s getting clean. FWTW you can buy replacements if you loose them.
Yes this definitely should have been tested, I've been using rtic like the one in the video but with our company logo on it for 5yrs and it's nearly impossible to clean the lid well
I’ve used Yeti and Stanley. The Stanley was good but it started showing a lot of wear around 6 months. The Yeti, still going strong after a couple of years.
i have had my yeti for 5 years and its still perfect, the way the lid works is awesome since there isn't anything to wear out and its easy to clean
I got a Yeti for free at work, and I've been using it for about 3 years and it's held up. Super easy to clean. Haven't tried the others though.
$10 Ozark trails from Walmart 5 plus years old and still going strong
Could you elaborate on how and in what ways the Stanley was showing wear? How easy is it to clean the lid or fully disassemble it for cleaning??
@@philg8556 not hard to clean but the lid and plug get sloppy and cloudy. I was looking for replacements after a few months.
On the yeti side I had to buy a new slider - they have cool colors - after I lost mine. The lid is still great and works well.
I am so surprised at how entertaining I found this video. Never knew I needed such a thorough Tumbler review, but very happy I found it. I just got a 30 oz Stanley for Christmas 2023, and I love it so much! I was very happy to see the Stanley's performance, especially compared to the Hydro flask that I almost asked for. Who knew how fun it would be to watch tumblers fall over from the counter in slow mo
Thanks!
Lol agreed
I couldn't think of a more timely comparison test based on the current Stanley craze. Nice work!
Agreed!!
I work at Starbucks and the craze is real!
We would have people come in when we first open and if we had the Stanley cup they would buy them all.
Absolutely ridiculous smh
Thank you!
almost seems like this video is part of the whole Stanley marketing strategy
@@Lolerstompthey really are good though. I’ve been using the same two Stanley’s everyday for work since I graduated in 2020. One for coffee the other for water. So it may be a big marketing plot, but they make good stuff
It's probably been said already, but I'm surprised the Ozark Trail brand tumbler wasn't included. I think it was possibly the first knockoff of the Yeti, and there was some speculation they were actually built on the same assembly line. They're $8.97 at Walmart, and although they don't have a sealable lid, I've been very happy with their performance.
I've got several 20 oz and 32 oz Ozark Trail tumblers. Can't beat them for the money.
And you can buy a separate sealable lid. Still ends up cheaper than alot of these tumblers.
I was really surprised this wasn't included as well
A yeti 20oz lid fits perfectly on the Ozark trail tumbler and can be purchased as a replacement lid.
Came here to say this. I have several Ozark Trail tumblers that Ive had for several years. Can't beat the price and I'll bet they are as good as any of the ones tested.
this channel is a global treasure, your enthusiasm, knowledge and willingness to learn and do what is necessary to give us the best content is MUCH appreciated my friend. saving us money AND finding easier ways to maneuver through life? you deserve all the praise mate.
You provide an absolute invaluable service to the community. Bravo sir. You’re by far my favorite UA-cam channel.
Thanks so much!
If you do a round 2, definitely include the Contigo Autoseal. Its the one they hand out to us at my job in aerospace manufacturing. Its also the only drink container they allow on the shop floor because its the only one they trust to not spill, even if you drop it while drinking out of it because it closes up when you let go of it. Also seems to be insulated pretty well.
Isn't the Contigo a thermos and not a tumbler? Like the Zojirushi?
Yes. Contigo
Not seeing the Contigo in the line-up was a letdown. That is a very popular, affordable and well designed unit, in my estimation. I also have a side argument with a friend that Contigo is better than Yeti, would have been nice to use this video to put the matter to rest :P
I only watched to see where contigo would place
I still enjoyed the video
As a Yeti fanboy, this one hurt! It goes to show that brand loyalty can lead you to be blind to other/better and in this case cheaper products. The thing I still love about my Yeti is how easily the lid cleans, I don't have to worry about junk hiding in my lids like other brands. I when I go to make my next purchase, I might keep Stanley in mind!
Good Stuff!!!!!
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Exactly this. Having an easy to clean lid and quality construction is worth the other disadvantages.
I like my Yeti, but it's also not this particular model. I can't stand those narrow bottom cups with the handles that are so popular, because they're ridiculously tippy and impractical for anything but putting in your car's cup holder. Why do you even need a handle if the cup is insulated?
Now, I inherited a couple of Stanley thermoses from my dad and grandfather, and they still work great. But they aren't these cheap Chinese things that are being mass produced now.
The Yeti I have retains temps fairly well, but the lid is a PITA to clean, and the bottle most certainly retains flavors, even after a thorough washing. Tea flavored coffee isn't very good, despite what Starcucks says.
My Yeti lasted ten years before the paint even started chipping... they are no joke.
Amazing.
This dude could compare the girlfriends ive gone through and still come out with a highly detailed an accurate analysis on which one was good or bad
Fantastic video; you are always the best when it comes to finding any info on anything!
Yes! He needs to do girlfriends!
"She claims to be good in bed. We're gonna test that!"
"Very impressive!"
@@BegoneJonahNot sure the kinds of tests he would need to devise would be appropriate for UA-cam
@@jackdedert2945 The strain gauge and decibel meter would definitely come into play.
Might have to make a few changes to the lubricity tester, though!
Can I volunteer my ex for overnight in the freezer?
These reviews are so great. Fun to watch even if you're not in the market for the product. So much thought and clever testing methods used for each test!
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Todd, I'm speechless...............a 20 min evaluation of Tumblers that the world cannot live without. Can you just imagine going thru life with the wrong tumbler !!!! This Vid was like going shopping with my wife !!!!
lol Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectFarm Your the Best, Todd !!!!
And would have thought that we'd actually watch it all 😂
I've had my RTIC tumbler since they first came out, before the Yeti lawsuit. I've dropped this poor cup so many times, but she's still trucking flawless.
Same!! I have the old school 64oz jug I've had for like 8 years now. It's fallen off the side of my trucks into gravel. And I gotta say they are one brand I'm brand loyal too. I have a tumbler from them and a coffee cup 2 big coolers lunch box and a cooler back back by them. Haha. Everything has held up well and their customer service has been great also.
I have the old rtic and a few of the old Ozark trail tumblers. Love them both
Thanks for the feedback.
@@ProjectFarm your channel is great and it's been amazing to watch it grow over the past couple years.
Love my Rtic tumbler ultralight coolers & snow tubes all have worked as advertised 👍
These videos are always so well put together, and the experiments feel like good real-world tests. Thanks for putting so much work into these objective comparisons!
Contigo snapseal is my favorite for the convenience of opening and closing. They have autoseal ones too, but I prefer being able to open and close manually. You also have to make sure you clean the lid thoroughly once in awhile since it has space under the lid lever part
Thanks for the feedback.
Love our Contigo snapseals. It's dummy proof for those night time sips you need to take. The only rubber piece is the little nub on the seal which can be removed for cleaning and pops right back in place. Just don't lose it 😄 it's about the size of a pencil eraser.
Own one.. recommended 👍🏻..not yeti
This is legit the best channel with a "ZERO BS" approach! I hope you become one of the most successful UA-camrs, people like you are VERY rare to come by nowadays! Thank you a lot, sir!
Thanks and yo are welcome!
Agree. Straight to the point.
Going to buy a Stanley tumbler. I think one thing not mentioned is whether they'll fit in a typical cupholder in a car, something the wider ones may have an issue with, especially with older vehicles.
Thank you for sharing!
I’d recommend the 20oz Stanley Classic trigger action travel mug. Great performer.
It would be really cool to see a long-term vacuum test, like keeping them and doing the same temperature tests 1 year later, to see if they manage to keep the vacuum seal intact (i believe you tested vacuum insulated bottles a while back, if you still have them you could probably do a similar test), cheers, great video as always
Thank you for the video idea!
If I am informed correctly. The glass seal on double-wall, vacuum insulated, containers can be damaged by a dishwashing machine
Great idea
I would trust the Stanley, I've been using their thermos for 23 years and it still works as good as new.
Really cool to see this. My wife recently bought a Stanley and has finally left the Yeti brand behind. It would have been fun to see how cold the tumblrs kept ice water after being put into a fire or oven. It would mimic the Stanley 40oz that was in a car fire and still had ice in it afterwards.
Thanks! Thanks for the constructive feedback.
Didn't the Stanley also have lead in it and if it's damaged it could leak out? :(
I always come to this channel before making any purchases to see if you've done reviews on them. Saves me time and money, as well as the headache of buying something that doesn't perform to par. Thank you for putting out honest reviews, I truly appreciate what you do!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Really wish the Milwaukee tumblers were included in this test! Also, the biggest factor for me when buying these has become ease of cleaning.. Some develop gross grime spots that are near impossible to clean in the lid design. For this reason, the Yeti is by far the best with its removable magnetic closure
On a packout surface (I have a holder on my motorcycle!), tipover is 180 degrees, so winner.
edit: on the other hand, mine only holds exactly 500g (17.6 oz) of water (full to the top no lid), and the top is way overengineered considering it doesn't seal fully.
I came here hoping to see the Milwaukee on here as well
Because they suck
They suck
Don’t like the lid throw the same size yeti one on it for ease of cleaning. I like the Milwaukee tumbler itself cause I can lock it to stuff as I’m prone to knocking it over. Just don’t like the kid so I use one from one of my yeti tumblers.
I kinda wanted Stanley to lose because of all the hype lately, but I remembered they've been in the game forever. My mind goes back to the old green thermoses from them I saw in the 80s that so many had. Great video!
Made in China now.
Yeah, it is really easy to hate on them because of their popularity. They're popular not for their quality, but because of Instagram. Doesn't change that they're actually still a quality product. 👍
Different type of Stanley tumbler all together.
Yep. I swear by my thermos and I never go camping or hiking without my Stanley cook pot. They are a solid company.
Stanley invented the stainless steel vacuum bottle in 1913... way older than 1980.
My wife wanted to buy a tumbler because she was tired of her first grade students breaking hers, she was looking on Amazon when I stopped her and told her “you can’t buy anything until you watch Project Farm.” Thanks for the great comparison.
You are welcome!
Another great comparison by Project Farm!
Fun Fact: the slider on the Yeti is easily removed for cleaning. It is only held on by a couple small magnets.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
I must admit. This could be a highly underrated video to watch for many as I thought to myself "how much testing can possibly be done on these. BUT NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE PROJECT FARM !!! This study of coffee tumblers was incredible. THANK YOU Project Farm 👍
Would definitely be worth watching to not throw money away on the Yeti name. It was the most expensive and most popular cup and was pretty far down on temperature performance and it leaked.
You are welcome!
I am continuously surprised with the incredible effort and thoughtfulness you put into these reviews. Thank you for continuing to be such an incredible resource for the internet! This is why I have and will continue to support you on Patreon.
This dude tests EVERYTHING. He's very intelligent and tests everything on every tool that is relevant to it
Thanks so much! Greatly appreciated!
@@ProjectFarm Really appreciate your enthusiasm and great sense of humor!! You should be a sports announcer! It reminds me of the TV show Wipeout
I have a tumbler from a company called Simple Modern, and I highly recommend them. I got a large 84oz tumbler to keep me hydrated all day. It keeps the water so cold that I have come back to it the next day to still find large ice cubes in my water. It has started to very slowly drip water if you hold it completely upside-down but even after several years of wear and tear, it is still very spill proof. Comes in metal or at least the one I got did and although I don't remember what I paid for it, it is well worth the money.
Thanks for the feedback.
One thing I would have liked to see is the availability of spare parts or additional lids. I can say from experience that it's always the cap that breaks first making the thermos or the tumbler pointless if there are noi replacement parts available.
Personally it is very import that the things I buy are repairable and servicable and I hope you could include this type of analysis for the products that you review. I have been able to repair many things because parts have been available.
Thanks for the suggestion.
It's ALWAYS the weakest link that sabotages it, which in some cases can be a 5 cent spring or piece of plastic on a $100+ item. It's maddening. Really well-made item, save for that one loser piece.
At around a similar price $15-20 both my Contigo and Zojirushi tumblers work really well. Have had both for a few years. The Zojirushi is far more dishwasher resistant as the black pain started peeling off of the Contigo in just a few washes. I just stripped it back to stainless and its still going strong!
I have a Zojirushi as well and just posted my own comment referencing it. I've used the $12 Contigo tumblers that Walmart sells. Pretty decent, but nowhere near the Zojirushi.
The paint is almost always the reason they say not to put these in the dishwasher.
@@YoSpiff You have to get the Contigo Autoseal. That's the good one. I doubt you can find it for $12 though
@@blurglide Thanks, I think I know the one you refer to.
@@XSpamDragonXI've used DOZENS of these stainless vacuum insulated cups, from dozens of manufacturers, and I've never had ANY issues with them except for one, a Starbucks flask. The pain was a really thin, almost like a varnish, that chipped and flaked off. All the powder coated and cerakoted ones are extremely durable. The d/w is not hurting it if the other stuff I put them through didn't hurting then. I ran one over with my Gator just 2 days ago. It's just fine. They sit in the cup holder of the Gator, with dirt all over, rubbing and vibrating, in the bed of the Gator sliding around, falling out of tractors, in the lab with chlorine, halogenated solvents, and other cortisone chemicals, and they're all fine.
I’ve been happy with my two Iron Flask tumblers since 2021. I would tend to rate these a little differently. I want the base to fit a cup holder, but don’t really care about tip over angle. And I really like the fact that the Iron Flask lid stays secure and I’m not concerned about the force needed to flip cap up - it’s still easy with one hand. I’d buy more of them except my two have no signs of wear yet so if I buy any more they will probably be as gifts. As always, thank you for your hard work, honest straightforward reviews, and interesting videos.
I just added a thought above on that subject. It might be hard for one man to really address these subjective issues, but he's smarter than I, and could probably devise something. It is an important parameter, though: just how easy is it to use?
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
For the spilling and onehanded operation i bought a contigo last year where you have to push a button with your index finger while drinking. ->holding the button pressed means the drinking opening is open and a vent hole is too. When letting go of the button, both close and it doesn't spill.
It even has a lock for the button so you can prevent it from getting pressed.
Thanks for sharing.
Contigo is where it's at. I take mine duck hunting for my morning coffee. Never spills when it's in my pack
If you ever do a round 2, you should add Milwaukee’s Packout tumbler.
And Corkcicle
Great recommendation!!
Orca is another one to test.
Used Aladdin Stanley for years. Would love to see Stanley made in US again like tube ones I had when I was a kid
its overpriced just like yeti.
@@Bagelx42 I've always thought so, but the Stanley was the best over all, so you do get something for your money.
$30 really isn’t overpriced.. pretty darn fair for the quality if you ask me and I’m usually a cheap skate not gonna lie haha
Thanks for the feedback.
This was a great showdown! I'd love to see a similar test to see how the Yeti coolers stack up against other brands.
Agreed!
yeti is same as walmar stuff, it's overpriced hype product
Loom up cooler test. There is already a guy who made some great videos testing them.
I believe he already did one on cooler!
I work in the trades and got sick of breaking the walmart tumblers and bought a yeti and have been using it over a year @@TheGuruStud
You always have the most efficient reviews. Straight to the point with no fluff. Great review.
Thanks so much!
I don't know how it could be tested standardized but a video on who makes the best snow brush would be cool. Testing how strong the handle is (especially for telescoping ones), how scratchy the brush is, how durable the scraper is, etc.
Thanks for the suggestion.
@@ProjectFarm Thank YOU for being the best place on the internet for product comparisons, especially for tools!
The scraper would be good. Mine always chip on ice and I have to replace.
Great suggestion. I find the popular models with the heads that rotate 90 degrees for storage are the worst - the lock mechanism can't hold when I'm using them, especially on heavy wet snow, and they want to fold while I'm brushing. The best one I found isn't a brush but a rectangle piece of high density foam that can push or pull the snow off the vehicle, they might be called a "snow joe" - I'd love to see a comparison between brands though
In the meantime, the snow brush at Costco is my favorite, especially if you have a larger vehicle. I’m interested in the best handheld scraper though.
I gotta say I love your editing. It's the small things that make it so watchable, user friendly let alone easy on the eyes while getting to the point. An example of an editing technique I like is when words pop up on screen and slowly pan left and right, it's things like that. Anyway, thank you for what you do!
The freeze frame on the tilt seemed to be a new touch that was pretty nice.
Thanks and you are welcome!
i thought this was a really long video to review tumblers. not only was that correct, it was really full of info because of the speed of the narrator. All that being said, I am realizing I needed this video more than i thought.
Thanks for the feedback.
Project farm is amazing for any reviews. Welcome
We sell many of these tumblers at my job, and the "training" for them is just basically watching a bunch of ads for the products. I've used this channel for the straight truth on a lot of different items we sell and your insight has helped me become a better salesman.
Thanks for sharing!
Know your product and tell truth🧐
RTIC has been what I’ve been using for years now. I have a 1 gallon Growler I’ve used for work for years now. I will say that I’ve replaced the lid twice now, but for the money and capacity of it, I don’t think it can be beat. Especially during the hot summer months where I’ll go through the entirety of it before lunch.
Thanks for sharing.
I recently received an IronFlask for Christmas, I have been very impressed with the quality and was glad to see how it performed in your tests. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing!
For a round 2, Contigo and Zojirushi would be nice to see.
My Contigo West Loop is my go-to for hot drinks. For me, it's more user friendly and performs decently.
My Zojirushi easily outperforms any other cup I have, I just don't like flip top cups, so I don't use it as often.
i have two contigo water bottles! love them.
Zojirousi bread machines. The best.
Love the Contigo! Please include in the sequel!
In the early 2000s Starbucks sold Zojirushi thermos style bottles. I have one with a push button top that holds about 20 Oz and one with a slider top that holds about 35 Oz. They are both amazing. They hold the heat for hours and hours. I sure hope the tops never break.
I really like my Yukon Outfitters Come and Get It 20 Oz. Mug. It's made in TN rather than China. Don't know what kind of lid it comes with; I found it in the middle of the street and put a Yeti lid on it, which fit just fine. This was a great to watch! First show of yours I've seen - won't be the last! Maybe a show on the made in America mugs?
I bought the Stanley and I really like it. Almost bought the Yeti till I saw your reviews and testing. Thank you. Was fun to watch this.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
The yeti is useless..
I like the straw option with the Stanley, no need to open the lid. But what's missing from this review is, as others mention, the cleanability of the lid as well as how easy it is to empty the tumbler. Some lids block the last bit of fluid and it can be frustrating when the lid must come off to get that last drop! But overall this was a great idea to review tumblers, and very well done. I'll be getting a Stanley, great performer!
Thanks and you are welcome!
with some you are missing more than the last drop with the lid on.
The Camelbak one has different lid options, it's really cool. You can get straw lids, sip lids and with/without handle, plus different sizes. I have the straw one and I think it's better than the sip one. I also have a huge version though so it has different characteristics, like I think it probably doesn't tip over as easily. But if it does, the straw doesn't really leak anyway
Clean-ability is my number one deal-breaker. Because the vast majority fail, it's the fastest way to eliminate a multitude of prospects. Temperature retention, then durability. I have however lost each of my flasks due to dropping and ruining the vacuum seal. Best I had was a Kitchen stuff plus, tea infuser with a plunge open/close lid which was accessible but a real pain to clean.
This is a fantastic comparison. The only thing I wish you could have compared is how the lid and spout is to drink out of. So many times I've found a great flask that doesn't leak but is a pain to drink out of and vice versa when I get a good ''coffee'' drinker it seems to be less durable or spillproof. Keep up the great work 👌👌🙏🙏
Thanks! Thanks for the constructive feedback.
Totally agree with this suggestion. I owned the Tervis, it dribbled on me whether driving or in front of the TV. Also owned the RTIC. I'm happy with how it keeps coffee hot, but the lid falls down and gets coffee on my nose.
Japan's Zojirushi mugs are so good that you have to pour in your coffee or tea at the temperature you want to drink or else it's still burning hot 8-12 hours later and undrinkable. I used to bring those on winter mountain hiking and I couldn't take a sip until the end of the day.
Added to my list for round 2. Thank you!
Second that! I have an old small canteen from 20yrs ago, and still working strong ! Dents and all. Water is still warm after 4 days!
I went to graduate school with a fellow from Thailand. He used one and at the time, they weren't available in the U.S. I asked him where he got it and he said that his Uncle, who worked at the factory, gave it to him. During a holiday break he had to go home to renew his student visa. When he came back he brought me one. I loved it and used it all the time. It would still be scalding hot 10 hours later. I lost the original one and purchased a second years later. The only thing that ever happened was some paint peeling after my wife put it in the dishwasher. But ya, they were manufactured in Thailand....even though they were advertised as being from Japan.
they’re known for rice cookers and water boilers
I love finding these videos and seeing my a brand that I like on there.
And it's even more awesome when Todd says "Very impressive!" on them.
So far, Iron Flask and Makita circular saw blade for me.
Thanks!
Even though it's not on the list, I'm extremely happy with my milwaukee packout 680ml, besides a little spilling when tipped over, it has kept my coffee hot in a cold environment for mere than 8 hours at a time
Added to round 2, if there's enough interest. Thank you
Makes sense , its just a rebadged Yeti with their proprietary top.
I was gonna buy one the other day. It's always out of stock when I go to home depot. But I think I already have alot of tumblers 🤣
@ProjectFarm Count me as interested. These kind of ubiquitous consumer items are so great to see tested, especially as manufacturers continue to find ways to be "efficient".
Another request for a Milwaukee test. Home Depot still has the black color on sale, both the 20oz and 32oz.
As a added bonus the Milwaukee locks onto the Packout system.
I know YETI has become one of these boutique brand names and they are super expensive. But we've got a bunch here in our facility shop that have been kicking around for years and still are in great shape. They do seem to be made very well.
True. The only thing that killed one for us was my wife backing over it. Replaceable lids too. So as the rubber wears out, or if the slider gets lost, things can be replaced.
Have had my 30 oz Yeti for over 10 years, use it daily. They're worth every penny. It looks just the same as the day it was purchased.
Thanks for the feedback.
@@ProjectFarmelementary school aged kids DONT need these, and they're BULLIED by not having them😢.
It used to be, kids werent bullied much, until middle school
The teachers were able to stop it easier
@@jstaffordii I've had my yeti for 12 years or so and it looks like it's been to vietnam and back. I still rock it. Love the abused look lol
This is great testing. I am glad you added so many tests like tipping over angle, even though it might not make a big different. It's interesting to see the design behaviour. Would be great to have this for water bottles. And bigger sizes. I have used Yeti, LTT and Kleen Kanteen water bottles, I am really curious how the new Stanleys hold up.
I always suspected that most of these brands were all made at the same factory in China. The similar volume made me think that some of them probably are.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
One thing that surprises me about your reviews is how thorough your tests are. You put them through just about all conceivable things that could happen in normal use...
I feel like the Iron Flask is the only one that deserved an A+ for the hot water test, as it did significantly better than all the rest.
Thanks for the feedback.
I love my Iron Flask. Dropped it so many times and didn't spill a drop, minimal denting.
Very underrated and is more deserving of the hype than a Stanley.
They're all cups.
Bottom half of cold test.
@@freebehindbars8654
I don't use mine for cold drinks, tbh
Would've loved to see Ozark Trail! They're very affordable (I paid about $10-12 for my 32 oz), and in my experience, work just as well as Yeti (which I also have a 32 oz of). Only downside is that it's definitely not spill/leak proof at all. Still, I prefer how easy it is to clean, and how affordable it is, despite performing quite well (in my opinion, I'd love to see a quantified test).
Great video as always, keep it up! :)
Yeah, Ozark would have been perfect in here, probably near bestperformance/lowestcost.
On my 2nd Ozark Trail 20 oz or maybe it is 22 oz. Lost my first one. I've been very happy with with both of them. I'm interested in checking out the Harbor Freight tumbler as well.
My favorite aspect of the Yeti is it is easy to clean the lid mechanism thoroughly. I have had so many tumblers that end up with mildew growing in the lid mechanisms because they aren't able to be cleaned very well.
Plus the ability to easily get replacement parts makes the Yeti a good buy.
I expect that its weight really worked against it in the temperature tests that Todd ran. Since he didn't pre-heat or -chill the tumblers, the heavier ones with thicker walls probably performed worse as it took more of the beverage temperature to equalize with the tumbler temperature. It's a fair test, but worth pointing out and testing both ways since some people do bother to prepare their tumbler just like a thermos.
@@haphazard1342 I always run hot water over my Yeti and it keeps my coffee hot all morning.
Thanks for the feedback.
Much needed video !
I was looking up mugs last night. I tend to watch your videos before purchasing products, and you haven't pointed me in the wrong direction yet !
Great job 👏🏻 👍🏻
Thanks! Glad to hear!
A useful review, thanks. I have a 16 ounce Zojirushi that can keep my coffee at a drinkable temperature all day. Designed more for coffee than as a water flask. The metal cap seals and locks, so no spills. Been great for traveling. A bit more now than the $23 I paid about 3 years ago, but still worth it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Great review! My ultimate favorite is the Stanley Admiral Mug. Not sure why it's not more popular, but it's the absolute most stable, holds 24 oz, and keeps coffee reasonably hot for well over 15 hours. And completely spill proof (when new) and I've had mine for several years and no rust at all. I'd love to see this one tested against some of its peers.
There are videos of kids getting wayy tooo hyped of getting a Stanley tumbler
Because it's name is Stanley instead of Yeti or Hydro Flask
@@CalvinHikeshave you seen the video? The Stanley was indeed the best, which surprised me since fads like this one are usually bollocks
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Stanley makes a very stable line of mugs, tumblers, and thermos bottles!
Would love to see more detailing products tested! Thanks as always for a great video
Thank you very much!
The breakdown and thoroughness in every video is so key to making the viewing experience what it is. Captures ones mind to wonder how can redesign things to make them more effective or efficient. Always a great watch!
Thanks!
Would’ve been good to have a control sample with a standard cup of water, or like a cardboard coffee cup etc. Great video!
Thanks!
Yes, or even a non vacuum insulated stainless steel tumbler.
A category I think you missed: how easy is the lid to clean? I can't speak to all of these brands, but the YETI is super easy to FULLY disassemble and thoroughly clean each of its three parts. I like my YETI for this reason and the look of my Whataburger version. As far as performance they're all equal IMO. They only need to perform for 15-30 minutes max. They aren't storage containers.
Man, you are so right. That is one of my biggest hang ups with lids,, most are not very easy to clean and I will not buy one if you can't take the part that closes it off so you can clean under it
I beg to differ. I sip on a beverage all shift at work, whether it be coffee or ice water. I have 6 Yetis that I used throughout the week. Never really realized how bad they were at keep beverages cold or hot until I had to use my wife's Stanley because all of the Yetis were in the dishwasher. My morning coffee that I pour before I leave every morning at 6am was still hot when I pointed it out at 1pm after lunch!!! That's crazy to me 😂. Point being, I buy these specifically because they are insulated and supposed to prolong temperatures. Why else would we buy these over a normal cup?
@@TheRCBuildersPost it really takes you 8 hours to drink something? Really? C'mon now, really? 8 hours? All day for one drink?
For coffee, I kind of agree with not needing super long performance. But, I also like to drink cold beverages while I work as a medical courier. I fill my Ozark Trail 20 oz. tumbler with ice and beverage before leaving for work. I refill with cold beverage once or twice during my shift. I usually still have plenty of usable ice long after I get home from work. I did switch from the standard non-sealed lid to an extra Yeti lid we had at home, because that lid seals so nicely.
Okay okay. Back on topic. Rate the different brands on ease of cleaning the lid. Some are easier than others and this can matter.
Boiling hot water and a spoonful of Oxiclean will delete any coffee stains inside any stainless container in literal minutes, with absolutely no scrubbing or wiping required.
Thanks for sharing.
How many of these tumblers are made in the same Chinese facility with a different logo slapped on at the end?
All of them
Your video with all the different metal water bottles convinced me to get a ThermalFlask from Costco as opposed to a HydroFlask when those were all the hype. It performed almost exactly the same if not better in some tests and a 2 pack cost me $25 at the time. I still use it daily 3+ years later.
Thanks for the feedback.
I think the murricon deserved more recognition. A+ in the temp categories (most important category for me), and no corrosion (dishwasher safe). Amazon also has a bundle deal of 4 for $24...$6 each! You get 4 of them for less than 1 stanley.
Totally agree here, temperature retaining ability is is priority!
He gave it A+, what more recognition you want lol
@@HyakuJuu01300 He didn't give it an A+, it scored A+ in several catagories, like others did. He highlighted 3 tumblers at the end of the video, but didn't mention the murricon, which is kinda surprising given its incredible performance at a fraction of the cost.
@@helicopterin "He gave it" or "it scored it", Whatever the hell you call it lol I'm not playing word games here. The result is A+ in the end.
He highlighted the other 3 simply because they're just better, I'm sorry. Murrican might've performed well on heat retention but it performed poorly on other fronts. The price isn't the one and only factor here.
@@HyakuJuu01300 no, he didn’t give it an A+, that was the point I tried to make with my first response. Read the table again, there is no overall score for the tumblers. There are just scores for categories. Given its price for the major performance catagories, I’d say it was the overall winner. It came in 3rd for cold retention, and 2nd for heat retention. It did that at a fraction of the cost of the others at the top.
Was really hoping you could get the time to test some self level lasers! Been looking on the market for a good one with my job! Thanks and keep up the good testing.
Great suggestion! Thank you
That's a great suggestion
Thank you. This is the most thorough test I've seen.
Thanks and you are welcome!
This confirms what ive always recommended after owning a lot of tumblers for camping. Iron Flask is a good budget option, Stanley is the best of the best if you want your moneys worth.
Thanks for the feedback.
To me the most important features are thermal retention and if it fits in the cup holder in my vehicle. Small diameter cup holders mean the tumbler needs to have a narrow bottom design.
As always, great testing!
100% if it doesn't fit nicely it's not a contender. 32oz stepped/tapered bottom section is a must for me.
Guess Todd forgets to test out this part of the design.
Before I retired I used one that fit in a cup holder and made one with a weighted base so I could use it at my desk. When we were in the communications room we always put the tumbler on the floor so it wouldn’t damage anything.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
@@jmabs5096 Same here, and the slip-on grab handle that fits them is great. Use mine all the time for coffee and also iced whiskey & water.
Thank you for the video. I always like the work you put into these and that you like to have a bit of fun with it. I was surprised Contigo wasn't in this line up. I really like their screw- on, press to drink lids. Keeps my coffee hot just fine. Thanks again @projectfarm 🙂
You are welcome!
I have the yeti. The magnetic lid is amazing. Easy to open and close
Thanks for the feedback.
I've wondered for a long time about the relative performance of these popular double-wall stainless steel tumblers, so thank you for yet another awesome test! I was very impressed by the fall test and will be getting a new tumbler with a screw on lid!
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Been using RTIC for years now, I have 5 of them and drink hot/cold coffee out of it daily and they are fantastic. Been washing them in the washer for years and there isn't a mark on them. They keep things cold for a long time and they just had a fantastic sale that I picked 3 more up for $6 each.
Thanks for sharing.
Katy represent! Igloo coolers are MADE here too. I have the 100 Qt Texas Glide Cooler with the white blue top, white bottom, and red handle and handle parts, because TEXAS!
Many of the Yeti products are OEM from RTIC. It's just Yeti is twice the price for the name.
I didn't like the RTIC lids as they were, but then they'd also fail early too. I had to buy replacements. My Yeti, on the other hand, its lid finally had too much wear on it from lasting so long, so I bought a replacement lid for it (same magnetic slider) and still love it.
That is ture. Some of the lids the RTIC's ship with are not great. Fortunately they usually have better ones that can be purchased. @@workingguy6666
VIDEO SUGGESTION: "Best pruning shears".
It questions a lot of people what to pick. Also in some shears the safety close automatically after each cut. It is not so convenient for contiguous pruning, but it is safe for sure.
Some others can cut thicker branches, even dead ones which are more tough, so you don't have to switch to a handsaw. Although there might be some difficulty, for those that can cut thick branches, to also cut thin greenish tops on plants.
Wish you the best sir!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I have Stihl loppers. They are expensive and cost me around $100 over 5-6 years ago. I love them. They cut great and the handles don't bend even when i cut overly large limbs. They have served truly and faithfully with nothing more than an occasional oiling and honing of the blade.
We bought IronFlask tumblers long before the Stanley craze. We love them. It was interesting to see it go subjected to thorough testing for things I've learned by owning one.
Thanks for the feedback.
ROUND 2: Add the Brumate to the lineup. It is the best at being leakproof with a locking lid designed to be placed in a backpack and not spill. My wife has dropped hers off the counter onto the ceramic tile kitchen floor and the lid did not come off or spill.
I would also like to see Le Creuset added. I've had 2 tumblers for years. Great for hot drinks (have not tried cold). Pretty durable.
Agree on the Brumate!!
The ability to lock and seal the lid on the Brumate Eras is awesome. The other day I ran out of cup holders and I could just twist the lid to seal and set it in the passenger seat and not worry about it leaking.
Thanks for the video idea or round 2.
Milwaukee Packout tumbler. Love the lid. A++
Round 2: Add the Zojirushi brand into the mix. I bought one this year and it outperforms any and every travel mug I've ever seen.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Surprised it wasn’t in the running! Tiger and Thermos are also excellent Japanese insulated drinkware brands
Love Zojirushi. Have a thermos-style one and I love it.
Suggested video: Best portable SOLAR POWER BANK, those ones that are about a cellphone size - recharge time, water resistance, drop and overall durability test, also mAh capacity test - are the numbers same what the manufacturer claims? example 25000 mAh?
Thank you for the video idea! I'll see what I can do!
I am so grateful for you and your channel I come here first before I buy anything now. Please don't stop creating this amazing content.
I can not tell you how much I have WISHED for this video! I am hyped!
Thanks, glad to hear!
PF you are doing a very great job at what you're doing. The enthusiasm. the thumbnails, the non-biased opinion, the common sense. Man you are going to continue to grow! Cheers man! I love your channel and I'm proud of ya!
I appreciate that!
Yeti has done a great job convincing people to buy their products. Kudos to them, honestly. It reminds me of Snap On and Mac. Insane prices for tools that test out to be middle of the road overall. Often times the super cheap tools outperform them. Just like this tumbler test.
Thanks for the feedback.
