I bought this cup solely for the visual aesthetic being so close to a cloudy sky. What I got was a cute cup AND an understanding of why people love this brand. Ice stays cold no problem. I made an iced coffee and left it in my car while I saw a three hour movie and came back to *shocker* iced coffee. If temperature outside is 120 F, then you can imagine how hot a locked car gets. Incomparable quality. Maybe the people who say their ice melts within one to two hours don’t understand things like thermal mass. Tragic. I hope they get better. The fully dishwasher safe pieces make it so easy to clean and get all smells and residue fully cleaned off the cup DAILY. I feel like hand washing alone isn’t sanitary enough and that the heat of a dish washing mashing sanitizes enough for me to feel better about the cleanliness of my dishware. Most insulated cups are hand wash only and that gives me the ick. Sorry to anyone who can go days or weeks or months without washing their cups fully, but maybe your tummy hurts from creating a bacterial breeding ground in your cup.

I have a collection of the 40, 30, and 64 oz. Stanley cups in several colors, as I have drank water out of these every day since April, 2022. I’ve bought these Stanley Quenchers many times over for gifts. This order (20th Stanley order?) I received my first defective one, even though it was sent to me well protected in an original manufacturer box, wrapped inside with tissue, in a Target box with air wrap. There is a black, three-dimensional spot in the middle of the cup on the back side (not the logo side). I tried to rub, wipe, and pick off the black spot to no avail. After closer examination, it may be a chip, which was there upon unwrapping from manufacturer’s tissue that surrounded the cup. This is certainly a defect from manufacturing. Since the same blueberry color sold out, I guess I’ll wait for restock to return, or contact Stanley. I love the color and the sparkle of this cup. However, the quality control is lacking and disappointing for the price point.

I’m absolutely frustrated with this cup, I got as a gift, mind you, and I’m glad I never bought one and I never will. I’ve seen the same reviews about my problem with the paint chipping. How the heck are you going to call it dishwasher safe if you know the product’s paint and seal are affected everytime you put it in the washer. That is the only way I can explain the paint chipping. False advertising and fraudulent marketing. I’ve contacted customer support and they said it was not covered and abruptly closed my case. THANKS FOR NOTHING. It’s a horrible cup and leaks all the time out of the top. Stanley says built for life but really its not and their guarantee does not cover everything despite claiming it is dishwasher safe but actually damages the cup.

It’s great that it’s huge and can fit in the cup holder but I can’t put it in my purse bc it has a straw so I have to carry it everywhere. Throwing my less trendy hydroflask in my tote is very convenient. Also the insulation is nothing to write home about. It’s not groundbreaking technology and doesn’t really keep things that cold. That being said the straw is very convenient for workout class. Again not groundbreaking tho. Should be retractibe. Give me a leak proof straw type beat with actual insulation and I’d be mildly impressed. Disappointed in myself for giving into the hype. Wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It’s about branding and clout and all that made up crap.
