Rating: - It's like they say...and it takes work.
Four months ago, I bought the 7 oz cup with handles and the one without handles (so I have 2 cups). Yes, it leaks if you don't get all of the parts lined up correctly. This includes getting the spout part lined up with the lid. I always wash mine by hand, with little brushes, because yes, there are a few different parts, and to get it clean, you must scrub in between them (especially if you put anything other than water in there). And now both of my cups have gotten mildew. I think this is because I left mine out with milk in it for a little while, then returned it to the fridge, and repeated this for a couple of days in a row instead of washing it daily. I'm about to use chlorine bleach to kill the mildew, and then I will wash mine daily (or, in the case of the one I keep water in, I will rinse it out and allow it to air-dry daily).
Update: I don't know if the chlorine bleach killed it, but the brown stains are still there. Also, I called Thermos, and they said they will send a one-time replacement part for both cups (I have blue and yellow cups - it's the yellow part with the spout).

Rating: - LEAKS LEAKS LEAKS!
These leak--I've had three of them. Otherwise, they'd be my favorite cup for washability, good soft spout, good size, stainless, etc.

Rating: - Milk gets trapped and it smells!
Does this sippy cup keep milk cold? Yes. Does this sippy cup not leak? Yes. Does this sippy cup smell like spoiled milk after one month of use? Yes. There is a rubber gasket that hold the handles on the tumbler part of the cup. The gasket is not removable and milk gets trapped under it. I have tried several methods of cleaning including the bottle brush, the dishwasher, and shaking soapy water in it. Yesterday I took a paper towel and my fingernail and removed a lot of dried up milk. Disgusting! They now smell so bad that my son will not use them. What a disappointment! I did write to thermos to alert them of this problem. They sent me a canned response about not storing milk products too long in the cup. That's not the problem! This problem starts happening the first time a kid tips the cup up and milk gets under the seal. What a disappointment!

Rating: - Excellent for drip-watering plants
The nice steady drip makes it an excellent replacement for an Aqua Globe. Keeps my plants watered while on vacation, and I don't have to worry about washing all 5 pieces and bending my thumbnail pushing it back together any more.

Rating: - leak proof?
did i misplace a piece to this cup or something? it leaks ALL OVER. my 18 month old son loves turning it upside down and it literally pours out of the spout... like there's no valve in at all; and because he's 18 months and CAN pour out all that water, he does it every chance he gets. these babies are pretty pricey for a cup my son can only used while being supervised. also... the mildew is disgusting. i didn't know the spout piece came out at first and when i figured it out? ew -- it was black. my son does not drink juice and has never had milk in that cup, i guess the moisture just got caught in between the lid and the spout piece and harbored a whole lotta bacteria. i have to be very conscious to clean all the little crevices when i wash this cup. it's such a great idea, it's very nice looking and it keeps the cold water cold, but it just doesn't work.
