and is easy to clean. I have purchased five of these and the only thing I’ve had to replace in 6+ years is two straws that one of my sons had chewed on. Extremely durable, easy to use. Have now purchased the larger size too and can say the same things.
Always hot enough if you use it properly – Works fine for me. No problems with not keeping food hot. I suspect all those people complaining about it not keeping things hot or cold aren't… Read more
following the maker's instructions. For it to work as intended you have to:
- Heat it up or cool it down with hot or cold water for 5-10 minutes before adding food or drink. - Make sure the food or drink is as hot or cold as you can make it before putting it in.
I ran a test in which I preheated mine then filled it with boiling water and measured the temperature over the next day using an accurate thermometer (a Type K thermocouple). This is a summary of what I got:
Start 99.4°C 3 hours 82.4°C 6 hours 69.3°C 9 hours 59.9°C 12 hours 53.0°C 24 hours 37.1°C
If I put hot soup in at breakfast time it will still be plenty hot for lunch. Over 50°C 12 hours later should be hot enough for most people.
On the other hand, if you put in food at the temperate you normally eat it at rather than making it as hot as you can, it is going to be too cool when you come to eat it. Its the laws you can't break - the laws of physics.
THEREMOS flask fails to keep contents warm – Fails to keep water hot. 22 degree C day, I preheat with boiling water using three cycles over a twenty minute period. Four hours later water is OK,… Read more
I use for one cup of tea, but after six hours it is not hot enough for use. This also applies to the 470ml food flask. Food cools rapidly and must be consumed within four hours.
My son bought me a Thermos wide base mug so I could have a coffee or tea that will stay hot for longer. It certainly does stay hot for longer. I can… Read more
have a coffee or tea that stays hot for up to 6 hours. The mug is vacuum insulated with double walled stainless steel. It holds 470mls so I don't have to make 2 or 3 separate cups. It comes with a 5 year warranty & it's dishwasher safe. It's the best!
Perfect for tea fans – Add your tea bag and keeps tea hot for most of the day. Can drink from the lid careful though as it will be hot or can pour with cap off. Use cold water too keeps it nice and cold for those hot days.

water for my sensitive teeth.
The 600 ml capacity is all I need, and the carafe looks good and doesn’t take up much space on my kitchen bench. Unlike regular thermal flasks with screw in lids, the carafe has a flip lid that is easy to thumb open to pour, and flops close when released.
The included advice is to fill the carafe with hot or cold tap water to pre-heat or pre-chill to increase the thermal efficiency before pouring your liquid in.
I have only used it for hot, and I boil the kettle, pour a splash of the hot water into the empty carafe, swish it around, pour that out then pour in the hot water. I find that this is enough to keep that water hot for hours. As I empty the carafe over the day, the last bit is warmish about 9-12 hours later depending on how empty the carafe is at the end of the day. Less water = colder.
I’m very happy with this carafe.
Third time returned – 2011 purchased a Thermos Work 2520. After less than 2 years it stopped working. They replaced it. I paid the postage there. Just approximately 3… Read more
years later, that Thermos stopped functioning. I sent it back at my cost and they replaced it. Today, 3 years later again, the third Thermos has stopped functioning. The cost of sending it back a third time will be equal to the cost of another one. DON’T BUY THIS PRODUCT. Sure, the guarantee is good, but the quality is deplorable.
Rubbish product – Never keep hot Thermos make it difficult for warranty clam purposes
