So, what is the difference that brings the price down? The plastic “foot” on this new RTIC is less tough than the YETI if you drop it on a hard surface, but the difference in price more than makes up for that. How easy it was to clean each tumbler: We washed each tumbler according to the manufacturer's instruction and noted how difficult or easy it was—as well as whether any special tools like bottle brushes were required. After testing, the tumblers with stronger beverages like coffee, we noted if there were any lingering aromas. Erika Owen is a big fan of super cold water. A simple water bottle doesn't pass the temperature test. She's been testing insulated tumblers for years and is constantly searching for the perfect travel-friendly option that doesn't eat up (too much) precious carry-on space. We were only able to fit this tumbler in the extra-large cupholder. Our testers were very impressed with its leakproofness (it didn't leak when held upside down or shaken)—suitable for consuming beer. And they weren't impressed with its ability to insulate heat—also suitable for consuming beer. Our testers did say the separately sold handle would be a bonus. "The Beast was a little large in my hand, and while it was easy to grip the external material, it could benefit from a handle," one tester noted. "But a great value considering the capacity and its stellar performance preventing leaks."
The world of insulated tumblers is overwhelming. There are more options than ever, and each one seems to boast some game-changing technology or eye-catching feature. But when it comes down to the basics, what you really need is something that will keep your cold drinks cold, hot drinks hot, prevent spilling, hold up to the bumps and bruises of life, and look pretty good doing so. With those criteria in mind, we went on a journey of finding the very best options you can buy.
Conclusion
It's hard to imagine any downsides to getting a Yeti tumbler at all. However, there are at least one or two things that you may want to be aware of before investing. Spout stoppers: Flip-up stoppers and slide-over stoppers are the two common approaches to keeping a tumbler closed. Look closely at what you’re buying, though: Many tumblers are made with a few different lid styles if you look for them. I agree the smaller straw is smaller than, for example, a McDonald’s straw. However, we had no issues with drinking water, tea or coffee. There is a larger straw provided if you have trouble. Insulation: We assessed insulation by measuring drink temperature—a combination of ice and 36 degrees Fahrenheit water for cold tests and 212 degrees Fahrenheit water for hot tests—and using a calibrated thermometer to measure the rise or fall in temperature of the water every 30 minutes. We also used our bare hands to feel the outside of the tumblers to see how warm or cold the surface felt. Now that you know some pros and cons, let's talk about what Beast and Yeti tumblers have in common. For starters, the pricing is typically the same; Yeti and Beast tumblers have a variety of sizes ranging up to 32 ounces.
Vacuum-insulated tumblers or bottles feature a double wall, or two-layer construction—oftentimes made of stainless steel,” says Graham Nearn, Stanley’s Vice President of Product Creation and Design. “All air is removed from between the two layers of the bottle to create a vacuum.” This feature is why this kind of tumbler is able to keep beverages at the preferred temperature for an extended period of time. Of the two brands that are trying sliders, YETI is fairly successful, while Pelican’s lid is a hot mess. It’s not clear exactly what the issue is, since the basics of the mechanism seem the same, but the Pelican lid always dribbled a stream of water when we turned it upside down. The YETI “Mag Slider” lid isn’t as magical as it sounds, but it works fairly well to stop anything more than occasional drips. This means that if you fill your tumbler up with your favorite beverage, pop it in the car with the lid on and then walk into the shift holding your tumbler, it won’t leak.With an enormous capacity of 40 ounces, the Stanley Quencher FlowState takes care of hydration goals with just one refill. Although standing up and walking to the water cooler is a great way to get some movement in the body, let’s be real, we don’t always do it as often as we should. This takes care of always having water available near you, especially while running multiple errands or during road trips. The contents stay hot or cold for hours on end, and it holds ice cubes for at least a day due to the vacuum-insulated design. The most noticeable design features of the massive tumbler are its handle and a tapered base that's shaped to fit into any cup holder. This means we can carry it around comfortably from our desks to the gym to our cars, where it sits comfortably during the drive. The sturdy handle especially makes it so easy to lift and carry. The lid is fitted with a reusable straw and is adjustable so left-handed people can also use it comfortably. Hate handwashing and air-drying water bottles? Us too! These are dishwasher safe, so we can finally keep our water bottles squeaky clean and not skirt around the task. There are also two sizes to suit your needs and budget – 30 oz (as featured on the video) and the 20 oz BEAST Tumbler (pictured below) 5. Keeps Your Hot Drinks Hot and Your Cold Drinks Cold – Even Overnight! Our tester used these tumblers in place of his usual water bottle and coffee mug for two weeks. At work, around the house, in the car and at the park, they all kept beverages handy. The 30-ounce size was bigger than our testers preferred for a morning cup of coffee, but for keeping hydrated (or keeping a rum and coke chilled) it’s just about perfect.
Renu Dhar, a personal chef, culinary instructor, and food blogger, tested the popular Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler on multiple errands, road trips, and everyday journeys from her desk to the gym to her car. Everybody needs a good tumbler, whether you're using it at the office, while you're camping, or just sitting at home with a good book. Beast and Yeti tumblers are both very durable and reliable choices that will likely last you for a good number of years. So the question remains: which one is better? Like many other tumblers on this list, the Maars Bev Stemless Wine Glass Tumbler is constructed of 18/8 stainless steel with double-walled vacuum insulation. Unlike many other tumblers on this list, the Maars tumbler is explicitly designed with wine enthusiasts in mind. (Just because it's a wine glass tumbler doesn't mean you only have to drink wine in it—we envision this being good for any setting where a smaller tumbler is preferred.)So, the ideal setting for an insulated tumbler is on a hot afternoon where you want to keep your drink insulated, but you’re more worried about convenience more than spills. Drinking something cold poolside on a scorching-hot day is a perfect example. Reading on the patio in the early morning with a cup of coffee is also a case where the tumbler works better than an ordinary cup. The bottom line The differences between these tumblers is so small that it would be impossible to tell them apart. The real difference is between the tumblers and the water bottle: because the vacuum-sandwich stainless steel walls provide the most effective insulation, the wide lid of a tumbler is a real liability. Even the fact that the Hydro Flask tumbler has no seal to keep steam in made only a tiny difference in the test. Vacuum-insulated cups, which are typically made of metal or glass, have both an inner and outer wall that is separated by a thin layer of vacuum. The outer walls have a reflective coating to keep heat inside the inner chambers; meanwhile, convention (how heat rises and cold sinks — causing the loss of heat) is prevented by the cup’s lid.
