Contigo West Loop Stainless Steel Vacuum-Insulated Travel Mug with Spill-Proof Lid, Keeps Drinks Hot up to 5 Hours and Cold up to 12 Hours, 20oz Steel

The Contigo Autoseal West Loop Stainless Steel Travel Mug with Easy Clean Lid has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from customers. The mug is praised for its leakproof design, with multiple customers confirming that they can lay it on its side or throw it into a bag without any leakage. The Autoseal feature, which allows for one-handed operation, is also highly appreciated by users. The interior of the mug is made of stainless metal, ensuring a clean and safe drinking experience. The Easy Clean Lid is preferred over the previous model's Open-Access Lid, although some customers note that the seals on the Easy Clean Lid may squeak when drinking. It is not confirmed whether currently shipping Easy Clean Lids still have this issue. Customers have found that the plastic or rubber taste of the mug can be eliminated by hand washing with dish soap, rinsing thoroughly, and boiling hot water to clean out the air holes under the lock. The mug can also be cleaned in the dishwasher, although the manufacturer recommends hand washing to protect the finish, especially for colored models. In terms of durability, customers report that the Contigo travel mug lasts for years without breaking. It is praised for its insulation capabilities, keeping beverages hot or cold for an extended period of time. However, some customers have expressed that the mug does not keep drinks as hot as advertised, with one user stating that it is barely hot for two hours instead of the advertised five hours. Overall, the Contigo Autoseal West Loop Travel Mug is highly recommended by customers for its leakproof design, insulation capabilities, and easy-to-use one-handed operation. The only major drawback mentioned is the need for hand washing to protect the finish of the mug.
