But when this vessel is knocked on its side, it leaks considerably—the press-in lid doesn’t create a secure seal at the mouth of the tumbler. The Rambler currently costs more per ounce of capacity than our other picks, and it includes just one type of lid. If you also would like a straw lid, you’ll have to pay another $10—and that lid doesn’t have a rubber gasket around the straw opening, to keep the straw from sliding around. The lip of the mouthpiece gently slopes, to eliminate any splashing, and the MagSlider port cover smoothly glides open and closed.
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.
Then we knocked each one over to see how much, if any, liquid seeped out. Since 2019, I’ve been analyzing, reviewing, and generally obsessing over products here at Wirecutter, where I’ve written about everything from label makers to solar-eclipse-viewing gear. Most pertinently, I’ve written about insulated wine tumblers, and I spent quite a bit of time testing the buzzy Stanley tumbler against 40-ounce dupes that line store shelves. Most insulated tumblers—whether palm-sized or gigantic—are made from the same materials. And they function in similar ways, which gave me a leg up when I started my research for this guide.
It comes in a few 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.
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.
The Everyday Tumbler comes in five colors—far fewer than our other picks come in. It’s available in just two sizes—20 ounces and 28 ounces—and RTIC doesn’t sell a separate flip-top lid for the 28-ounce size. The tumbler’s color coating is smooth and doesn’t feel too cold (or hot) to the touch, despite the temperature of the liquid inside. It’s also easy to grip with wet hands, so it’s a trusty poolside companion. To test the tumblers’ ability to keep beverages cold over time, we filled each one with ice water; then we measured the temperature with a smart-sensor thermometer over the span of 10 hours.
Because it is cheaper and practically does everything that the Yeti Tumbler does, it is not surprising that Walmart’s Ozark Trail tumblers are selling fast. Perhaps most famous for the popularity of the Yeti tumbler, many people refer to their Yeti as a cup instead of a tumbler. And while they became popular seemingly overnight, Yeti tumblers have also become the standard by which other tumblers were made. Owning a Yeti tumbler Rambler is something of a status symbol.
No, that is not always the case and any outdoorsmen, gear junkie, or general abuser of products will tell you the same thing. Every so often a brand will fly under the radar producing products that are not only a great value but also great quality as well. Between the Owala and Stanley, the latter is easier to clean, as every piece is detachable and can be washed in the dishwasher or with soap and water. The Owala, however, requires specific cleaning instructions for each part, with the gasket, straw, and base all ozark trail chair requiring separate cleaning rituals. Furthermore, the Stanley tumbler keeps beverages cooler than the Owala. As such, you’d rather not use both the tumblers as replacement for your stainless steel insulated water bottle.
