Rating: - Great til the top came apart, won't go back the same
I bought this cup for the hot days of summer. It worked great until the top separated during washing. It will NOT re-seat itself tightly, so it leaks. Now, I just put ice in my daughter's regular sippy. Too bad, it was a good idea, anyway.

Rating: - Great sippy cup!
This cup works well for my 13 month old. It keeps his beverages cold longer then any other plastic sippy cup. Downside it can leak but only a few drops and it didn't fit in our car seat cup holder which was the purpose of my purchase. But we do use it daily!

Rating: - leaks
I bought this cup on a gold box special and it seems to be well made in every detail except one. It leaks,no matter how I put the top on or how hard I tighten the top it leaks.

Rating: - Poor design - insane parts breakdown will drive you crazy
As others have stated, this cup definitely has some pluses: it's stainless steel; it's insulated; etc.

But none of these pluses will matter because you will go NUTS dealing with the parts breakdown.

There are FIVE component pieces to this cup:

1. The hard blue cap, which screws down to the main body and has a hole in it for the yellow spout/handle/seal.
2. The aforementioned spout/handle/seal--it's a single piece covered by the hard blue cap.
3. A small, soft silicone rubber seal.
4. A hard plastic, tabbed "clamp" that snaps in and holds the silicone seal to the inside of the spout.
5. The stainless steel main body (with a blue-plastic base permanently attached).

Competing cups have three pieces. Are two more pieces really that much of a hassle?

Well, in this case, YES. And here's why.

1. You must take apart all the pieces and wash them in a dishwasher daily, otherwise, MOLD will grow between all the parts. Especially underneath the blue cap--in the gap between it and the spout/handle/seal.

2. The rubber seal and plastic clamp are small enough that they can be easily pushed out of the silverware basket of a dishwasher and end up elsewhere in the dishwasher.

3. Aligning the rubber seal and plastic clamp so that the clamp does not deform the seal is tricky. Without perfect alignment, you get leaking from the spout and the airhole.

4. Aligning the spout/handle/seal to the hard plastic cap is virtually impossible. There are no alignment tabs or shaped insertion points. And because the parts are amorphously rounded in shape, even if you think you have the parts aligned, when you screw down the cap to the body, the parts easily twist out of alignment. Without PERFECT alignment, the cap will leak profusely.

Why is it that Playtex can make a $4 sippy cup with three parts (in total) that's easy to clean and re-assemble, and Thermos charges $14 for a cup that you will soon throw away?

Rating: - Great Sippy
This is a great cup, both my daughters have one. It rarely leaks, and really keeps things cold. It is a little heavier than other cups, but neither of my girls had a problem with that, even when they were really little. It survives being dropped off the high chair repeatedly. My older daughter likes hers so much I had to get a new one for the baby rather than passing my original one down.
