So I have a lot of re-usable cups/mugs/tumblers; I vary depending on my mood, but they all average around 20 - 24 oz. Saw the Stanley 40 oz quencher in Pomelo and fell in love - the prettiest shade of pale yellow that I had to buy it. I actually bought two - one to just keep at work, and one to always stay in my car so I can stay better hydrated as I drive a LOT between 3 states. So, a few things that bugs me:

1) When this tumbler is full, it’s insanely heavy, and the handle feels awkward to grasp - it feels like WAY too much weight on the handle. I end up sliding my hand inside the handle so my hand cups the tumbler but I still have to hold it with my other hand because it is REALLY heavy when full. I have read a lot of reviews between here and the Stanley website where people have issues with the handle breaking. I would assume it’s because of the weight issue when full which a plastic handle can’t continuously take. I know Stanley offers a “lifetime warranty” so I would recommend if you buy it, save your receipt and the SKU label just in case. And maybe don’t fill it up all the way.

2) It’s a bit “top heavy” when full due to the narrower base (car cup-holder design) and can tip easily if you accidentally bump into it even slightly. I have to be careful where I set my tumbler down due to this. I love the color, but the design could use some tweaking.

This is a versatile insulated mug.

The handle is very comfortable and ergonomic. It has a higher grip textured surface area where the thumb and fingers grip the handle. The handle is also large enough to slide one's hand into the handle and grip the mug directly which is more comfortable if you are going to carry it for a while because it is slightly heavy when full.

I have several Yeti as well as this Stanley and it keeps beverages just as cold.

I compared the 40 oz, 1.18L Stanley vs the 40 oz Yeti. The Stanley holds the full 40 oz and doesn't push liquid out the top when one places the cap on like the Yeti does. The Yeti handle is smaller with sharper edges to the handle, and not as comfortable.

A great value

I purchased this cup for my daughter’s birthday and I thought the price was great compared to others selling the same cup at $45. There is no mention in the description of this being a restocked or previously used item. My daughter received the cup extremely scratched up and damaged the box and packaging was not damaged at all but the cup inside was. It’s obviously this was a previously used product! I’m very disappointed and will be requesting a refund. Shipping was fast and the cup arrived earlier than expected. I don’t recommend ordering through this seller. Just order directly from Stanley and pay full price. This sheer disappointment on my daughter’s face wasn’t worth saving $7 bucks!

TLDR; Stanley’s “warranty” will only replace your defective product with reject colors that nobody wants.

I bought the black 40 0z. Quencher 6 months ago. I am not hard on it or rough with it and there is not a scratch on it. The handle started getting loose, and when I tried to tighten the screws they just spin. So this is unusable, because if I fill it up it gets too heavy and it feels like the handle will break off. Mine is black, and they told me they could only send me a choice of 3 colors: frost, rose quartz, and cream. None of these are close to black, I don’t like bright colors. If I buy a defective product, they should replace it exactly. Poor warranty and company, in my opinion, for the prices they charge.
