“Built for life,” it says on the label.

Stainless steel drink vessels are a tried-and-true technology, known to most to be very safe.

Easy Cleanup

Can be dunked fully under water for thorough cleaning.

Stanley 24 Oz Water Bottle Review: Disadvantages, Cons, Problems, Limitations, and Suggested Improvements
Not Insulated
Though relatively low weight, this Stanley 24 Oz water bottle, features no double walled construction, and thus, is not vacuum insulated, or insulated in any meaningful way. It does not maintain internal temperature very long. Not only do hot and cold beverages cool down or warm up (respectively) within a half-hour, the metal passes the heat / chill onto the outer surface, where you hold it. Boiling water can make this bottle too hot to hold, and near-freezing drinks can produce thermos sweating; particularly in high-humidity environments.
Dents and Scuffs up Easily
The thermos had no packaging in the store. It was just sitting on the shelf, and probably had been dropped and bumped numerous times. Had a few minor dents and dings.
Not Microwave Oven Safe
The microwaves probably would not penetrate this metal vessel to heat the contents inside. Plus, if the oven is not damaged, the steel walls of this bottle would quickly heat up to beyond-handling temperatures. So keep this container out of the microwave. Reheat beverages first, and then put them in here.
Stanley 24 Oz Water Bottle Review: Hot Drinks Not Recommended
Given that the container itself quickly approaches the temperature of any liquids placed within, it’s a bad idea to put hotter-than-touchable liquids in this bottle. As noted, holding the bottle becomes painful and perhaps dangerous in these cases.
Not Dishwasher Safe
While the stainless steel itself would probably hold up well inside of an automatic dishwasher, the plastic and rubber exterior parts in the lid would probably not. So we recommend only hand washing.

We trust it enough to pack our ham radio gear in the same bag, without fear of water damage.

We rate this Stanley liquid bottle therefore, at 95 out of 100; a durable and useful purchase indeed.
