You can see from the images below that there was consistent ice melt, however two of the three were better performing. As far as color options go, you can purchase this in one of two colors, Greystone which is the one featured in this article and a lighter grey. The constant color feature among the two are the orange rimmed wheels which I don’t love but, it is not a deal breaker. When it comes to the seal, I was again very impressed by this cooler. Cracking this thing open sounds like you are opening the airlock on a spaceship.
This brand is made with the same type of 18/8 food grade stainless steel as the Yeti, RTIC tumbler and Ozark Trail. I imagine this is because of the vacuum seal; however, the directions for the Yeti tumblers say they can be put in the dishwasher, including the lid. Ozark Trail and Yeti tumblers are made with stainless steel which is easy to clean. These lids are designed to sip out of, not to use with a disposable or reusable straw. The one thing the Yeti really has over the Ozark Trail mug, in terms of performance, is the slider on the lid.
It comes in a few ozark trail tumbler fun colors and there’s also a five year warranty that comes with every Yeti purchase. Finally, I added the vinyl to a piece of transfer tape to make adding the design to my tumbler MUCH easier. Personalize this tumbler with a text, monogram, or graphic to really make it unique. Stanley Cups are notorious for selling out quickly to the point of being used as joke material on Saturday Night Live.
It is made with stainless steel with vacuum-insulated walls designed for regulating ambient liquid temperature. Not surprisingly, both tumblers were better at maintaining cold temperatures than hot with the cold temperatures rising at a much lower rate. Even though the tumblers had slightly different initial temperatures, it took both cups approximately 45 minutes to raise 1°F. You might have to wait closer to an hour for your hot drink to actually be drinkable (around ozark trail tumbler 135°F). The water in the Yeti tumbler did cool down slightly slower than the Ozark Trail one, but not enough to cause a significant difference in experience between the two.
Yeti Tumbler – We can all agree that nothing beats a cup of hot coffee in the morning. But there are things that can come in the way that may prevent us from sipping that warm beverage, like an urgent staff meeting. During those instances, you’d really want to have a tumbler that can keep your coffee for a long time. There are many tumblers available but two stand out for the quality of their construction, durability, and function. Here’s the Ozark Trail vs Yeti Tumbler review which explains it all. So, the ridiculous hype with the Yeti tumblers last year was just crazy!
The external temperatures on the tumblers read 102.5deg for the Yeti, 105.2deg for the Orca and 104.7deg on the Ozark Trail. The Yeti drained 3 ounces of water, The Orca drained 2 ounces and the Ozark Trail lost 2 ounces. Likewise, the 20-ounce Hydro Flask All Around Tumbler did a great job of keeping cold beverages cold, but the mouthpiece allowed too much liquid through in a rush. And though the press-in lid creates a tight seal around the mouth of the tumbler, when the vessel is on its side, liquid seeps out from both ends of the sliding mouthpiece. The 24-ounce Takeya Insulated Straw Tumbler has a flip straw that’s similar in style to the Stanley IceFlow’s.
I felt it is the most accurate and fair way to fill the tumblers. Both the tumbler and the lid are dishwasher-safe, and the MagSlider pops off, which makes cleaning out accumulated gunk extremely easy. The lid also has a rubber gasket, which you can pull off for deep cleaning. Yes, you will most likely see differing results when adding cans or bottles into the mix.
Although the Stanley Cup was created a whopping 110 years ago, its recent craze has fans lining up to purchase, and limited styles are selling out. If you didn’t want one of these cups before, Target is ensuring you’ll definitely want one this summer. Nothing came out of the Orca and Ozark Trail and only 2 small drops drained from the Yeti. The only time the tumblers were moved was during the draining process and to keep the tumblers in full sun. The 20-ounce Tervis Traveler also excelled at maintaining beverage temperature. Yet the sliding mouthpiece felt loose and flimsy, and the outer plastic coating was hard to grip, especially with wet hands.
This vessel is the most affordable of our picks, and it’s the only tumbler that comes with two different lids—a straw lid and a flip-top lid (at no additional charge). I’ll be totally honest, I was not expecting this cooler to be as nice as it was. It’s easy to get caught up in brand perception and often times very difficult to break away from what you think you know about a brand. I used the word “think” intentionally, because what I thought I knew about Ozark Trail was not correct. Ozark Trail is proving to be a really solid competitor for outdoor products. This cooler has a number of features that you would find on more expensive coolers and a few that you won’t find.
Though the tumbler and lid are both dishwasher-safe, the one-piece lid has crannies where ozark trail chair grime and gunk can build up. Deep cleaning this lid is not impossible, but it takes effort, attention to detail, and a straw-cleaning brush (to scrub the interior of the straw). Airplanes, trains, and other modes of public transportation are not known for cleanliness, and you may prefer not to have your tumbler’s straw exposed at all times. The IceFlow tumbler’s straw folds out of sight—and away from germs and dirt—when you’re not using it.
