about a week ago I did a comparison as far as temperature retention goes
between these two thermoses and this old Stanley thermos which I've since found
was made in 1990 it lost 53 degrees more than this thermos by Nissan well I put
that on YouTube and I sent a link to Stanley customer service not thinking
anything would come of it just thinking that they might be interested in seeing
the huge difference between their thermos and and the thermos brand
thermos well they sent me this for free and they asked that I do another review
and this is the biggest one they make here it's two quarts
I said sure fair enough so here we go I got water I'm still going to boil it
I've got tap water hot tap water in both of these and as soon as that water boils
I'm going to fill these both up and it's almost 11:30 at night when I get up in
the morning have my coffee I'll stick my thermometer in there and see what the
temperature difference is so see you in the morning hey I said quiet on a set
you mind
all right it's been a couple of minutes it'll be 8 hours so here we go got the
tops off let's see how how they held their temperature here
all right this is the new Stanley that Stanley sent me for free and that's 180
degrees
well this is like one 1-86 that's a six degree difference damn it I was tripped
over Doug six degree difference in eight hours that is acceptable
the Nissan thermos is is about twice what the Stanley thermos is I'm not sure
if it's worth the extra money me I believe it is because sometimes I
let my coffee sit you know twelve hours or whatever I have in there now that I
know I can make stew I should have let this go to the four hours you know what
I think I'll do that I'm going to close these back up and
give it another four hours or so and and
see how hot they are then okay it's been almost 11 hours let's have a look-see
here
let's say 170 well going up about 174 thought you'd say
so then get this in a light a little bit
181 that neighborhood and 182 maybe well this one definitely holds its
temperature for longer and I'll tell you when I go by this and put my hand on
it's really warm up at the top area of this thermos so that's where it seems to
be losing its heat this is a holding its heat way better than the old one did
there's the old one right there I still say thermos by Nissan is not way
better but enough better that it justifies the few extra dollars I just
got on Amazon and I found this 61 ounce thermos by Nissan for $38 and I found
this Stanley the 2 quart for $33 so the $5 difference I'd go ahead and get that
it holds the temperature way longer than the Stanley does and you know 10 degrees
and I've actually had you know done longer tests in my truck with coffee and
it the the difference is enough to justify the $5 and they're both made in
China now so you're not you know the argument that by an American isn't even
there anymore well that's my comparison I won't be doing this anymore
