Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Thermos Nissan 16-Ounce Stainless Steel Backpack Bottle, Smoke Color
Customer Review: Great hot cold bottle
Summary: 4 Stars
I own 3 and use them every day and they perform very well. After 30 months 2 have sprung leaks near the bottom. Despite that I ordered 22 for Xmas gifts.Customer Review: Outer color layer peeling off within 3 months
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall an ok purchase - not much leakage, keeps beverages very hot even on long commutes to work.
Drinking hole is kind of small but livable, cleaning is a little tricky. But my real complaint is with whatever process is used to color the outside of the thermos (I purchased the 'Smoke Color' version).
I've had it for less than 3 months and the layer of paint (or whatever material is used to provide the 'smoke' grey color) is peeling off in swaths, exposing the steel underneath, giving it a very cheap look.
In fact every time I pick it up I end up with little bits of grey film all over my hands.
That being said, I also bought my sister the brown version at the same time and hers still looks new, so YMMV.
And no, I don't subject it to any particularly unusual conditions - it rides in my messenger bag on the commute and sits on my desk otherwise.
Customer Review: Initially loved this thermos, but now not so much
Summary: 2 Stars
I read the previous reviews before purchasing this thermos for my daughter and most people seemed pleased. Although there was some concern of this thermos leaking, I thought that was unlikely. Initially, my daughter LOVED the thermos, she said that is keeps her drinks hot all day and it was perfect for her; however, I now know I should have listened to the reviews because the thermos has started sporadically leaking. The first time it leaked, she was wearing a white top and the thermos leaked hot chocolate on the front of her. She thought that maybe she didn't tighten the top correctly. Since then, she has used it a few more times (being a bit more careful) and it still leaks randomly, not sure why. I would have given this item 5 stars in the beginning, but since I have to now buy a new thermos just a two months later, I can not give a good rating for durability or cost since it was too expensive to only last two months.Customer Review: This thing leaks!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to agree with the other posters about leakage. I had such high hopes b/c I love the one-handed open design! But the leakage plus getting hit in the face with the top of the lid made this another expensive disappointment.
