Funny to think that little baby is now a talking walking 7 year old. Has he watched this video? And had a warm drink from these Stanley containers?

Your video taught me something. My 2 Quart has a pour channel if i unscrew it slightly !!! Today i learned! Thanks for that ! Also, mine was made in China and has the flimsy plastic handle. But the metal loop is one solid piece so, win for me i guess.

I just got an email back from Stanley confirming that the Master series has been discontinued . I wonder why ? My question is whether the Forge is a part of the Master series because if you look at the specs between the Forge and Master series they seem to be virtually identical .

Thanks for running this test & sharing it! I have my father's A-944B work thermos from 1979, an A-944C possibly from 1968 (date code is 00768), and an NIB A-944DH from 1986 with the fake leather case, in the original box. These things are beasts! 😃

Can't believe you don't have a Kettle.

Great shave! I'm a fellow butt chin holder as well

Thank you. Appreciate the info!! Suggestion: Would shorten video to just highlights/facts. Could’ve been a 5 minute video. I’m feeling guilty for even saying this, because I like your videos in general, you do a great job of testing, explaining, etc… 🎉 thanks again

No comparison. My Stanely seems to keep ice overnight without a lid. My Yeti melts ice with the lid on in three hours. Why nobody is talking about this is a head scratcher.

Onde eu compro???

How do you figure out the year?

I just scored a vintage (age unknown) Stanley for free with matching little cooler, but it definitely needs restoration. Need to find a replacement repro sticker

Weird how one of them was 125 degrees.

Great clip, I bought (2)

hi, thanks for the interesting video. I wanted to buy a thermos for outdoor trips and discovered Stanley products. I excitedly ordered the STANLEY MILESTONES THERMAL BOTTLE 1.0 L in the color Black patina 1920. Then I saw your video and we were scared if I had ordered junk from China. After watching it, I was relieved that moving production to China did not have a major impact on quality. Of course, I would be happier to own a thermos made in the USA. But it is probably common today that most traditional manufacturers have their products made in China. I'm from Europe, specifically the Czech Republic, and many of our traditional brands do the same. I understand that, but it's a shame. It would be nice to unwrap a package with a thermos from the USA at home :-)

Does anyone know the difference between the version with the painted branding version, and the sticker branding version? Thanks

Variance sir. Understand variance.

my dad had one with the cork, 2 large hose clamps with a piece of copper plumbing pipe bent and flattened on the ends for a handle…but we also had galvanized igloo water cans

Damit, I'm a few months to late to the discovery of these mugs, discontinued. I hate the metal taste of the insulated travel mugs.

I'm still going for made in usa either way

When workers are paid pennies on the dollar the care factor becomes pennies on the dollar also. And thus quality acts accordingly

I own a uniavac 24 oz twice the quality n duribility get u one of these instead way worth the investment made in usà hard to find or over priced buy once cry once great mini cooker life x envestment

Great video. Helped me make the decision to go with Master Series. Liked and Sub-d.

I had an older one and just recently bought one that was made in China in 2020. The old one was definitely better. No contest. Still a good thermos, but as usual, the old saying applies. " They don't make em' like they used to". Cutting corners to save a buck will always produce an inferior product. I would rather pay more for a quality product, than settle for a cheap copy.

damn, who knew mr stanley was a bad ass mf

Im all for made in America, but this experiment was trashed by design.

I bought one from a thrift store two years ago for $20. I wanted a non-china thermos for my coffee. Mines from 1991. Old bags who run the thrift store grilled me. Works good.

LORD God bless you and your endeavors. I went through so many thermoses and cups from Contigo to Yeti and Thermos over the years before I settled on Stanley. I used trial and error instead of research. My Stanley collection is almost where yours is. I like how you epoxied the handle on the one. I watched your videos all the way through and it was nice.

You could give me a shave any time!

I usually carry these for work I'm 17 drink coffee like Grandpa so I drink an entire one of those in like 2 hours and it was really big and bulky and I just stopped carrying it around because of that and got me a yeti rambler I've been carrying it for over 2 years now around the farm beating the crap out of it LoL 😂

Hi how are things ? I would like to know if the 1973 Stanley Alladin stopper is compatible with the 1988 Stanley Alladin stopper. I would like to buy one from 1973 to prime mate and use it with the 88 model stopper.

great video, i just got one called a "legendary class" model at 1.5L and was worried about the links on the handle with how heavy it is when full. i put it in my backpack, but holding it sideways to pour makes me afraid it might snap. i other wise like the compactness, but feel like they could've reinforced the hinge's design by now while maintaining the classic look. anyway great video, might look into upgrading to a better handle or downsizing so it's not so heavy y you gotta keep roasting the one from your friend's garage sale tho? 😭😂

Hello from Argentina! I need some help from you. I am a fan of Aladdin thermos and I think after 2002 the quality was never the same. I need to buy the replacement stopper. I bought the ones offered on ebay (Eaglego brand I think). Looks as cheap quality and plastic. Can you recommend a replacement for my A-944DH Stanley Aladdin thermos? thank you!

quality control in China can be an issue, not just for Stanley. Very well made video!

They have a newer ones now that feature what’s called “Quadvac.” so instead of only two layers it’s four layers of insulation. I think it would be pretty cool if you made a video about the new ones compared to the old ones (2023) lol. I learned a lot from this video, thank you.

I had a stanley mug I found in Great Grandmas cabinet. Unfortunately the bottom was rusted and tossed it out.

Have you heard that the China versions leave a terrible aftertaste after 1 or 2 uses? Checking Amazon reviews seems to show an issue

I just purchased an 81. It has the light cream almost colored cap. Seems like this cap you have to remove every time you want to pour? Is this the best or is there another cap you know of that'll fit that a guy's doesn't have to completely remove to pour?

Please, if you want to be taken seriously, control the "background" noise

❤ the Hoppes 9

IT'S ARM DAY BROTHER!!!

Cap

Nice

Just curious, do you use all of them or just collect? Just bought a 1980 near mint with the intention of using it. Any recommendations on how to clean the inside well?

A stopper comparison would be cool. I have a ‘91 I recently inherited. Has a double o ringed center pour through plug, seems really nice!

Interesting. Thank you.

I literally liked this video the moment he made reference to the beer bottles... every man should have a passion 😀

I would be curious if on your I think '98 bottle, the dark one with the poorly designed stopper. If you were to put a better stopper on it, not necessarily from the Master series, then did the test, how it would fair out. I'm thinking that one is so bad because of that stopper. Might help out a lot of people that have that poorly designed stopper. Would probably take several days, as you would have to do the test with the bad stopper, then again with the good stopper. For control of keeping temperatures the same, do you have a freezer in like a garage that people don't get into regularly? That would them control the environment for testing.

in china they have saying , a horse is a horse and a tiger is a tiger . meaning sometimes we get it right , and some times we get it wrong , when it comes to the stanley thermos , they usually get it wrong . i bought three brand new ones at a flea market for $3. each . i thought i was getting a deal . they don't hold heat for long and fall apart . i'd rather have thirty year old one , than a brand new one . dad worked at allis chalmers heavy equipment tractor . an operator didn't see dads thermos and dropped a bucket on it and crushed it. at the end of his shift ten hours later , he pulled the stop and steam came out .

The last black Stanley that he was showing... That steel is not solid. It is glued on there because ours popped off. After about a year of hot coffee... It popped off and is no longer keeping anything warm.
