I can not completely compare this Ello Insulated Tumbler with the over priced $tanl€y as I don't own that one. I can however speak about my experience with Ello Tumbler that I've owed for a few weeks. I love that it's 40oz and vacuum Insulated, w/build-in carry loop...that won me over. I was fortunate to find 2 pack Ello Tumblers (Pink & Blue) at my local Sam's Club for the price of just one Tumbler. I own several Hydroflasks which are great but these are so much more amazing, to me. The Ice has lasted more than 25 hours if I just have ice only, to munch on throughout the day. When I add water to the ice it remains cold for almost 30 hours later as long as you have the flap close and not using the straw. I love how secure the lid is, but know it will leak if you do not have it treaded on completely...it happened to me once when I was rushing. I recommend finding this Tumbler at your local Sam's Club if possible, or waiting for Ello to restock as it's still a much better value than the popular over-priced Tumbler on the market. You won't be disappointed.

I love the look and functionality of these tumblers, especially the handle. I sell custom-printed products for a living and have tested several Stanley knock-offs. The straw placement issue when the lid is screwed on is pretty much standard for Stanley “dupes”. I don’t know if that’s the manufacturer’s intention so as to sidestep a patent lawsuit, but I wouldn’t doubt it one bit. Yeti successfully sued several large manufacturers for making copycat tumblers and I’m sure Stanley would do the same. Straw issue aside, I expected these tumblers to perform similar to the other vacuum insulated drinkware I own, but my ice melts in a few hours…inside my house that’s 70 degrees. This is a huge disappointment, as I can put ice in my Stanley in the morning and still have ice the next morning. I have had clients receive defective vacuum tumblers in the past, so I know this is possible. I was planning to gift the second tumbler to my daughter, but I think I will test it out first. If it’s just as bad as the one I have used, I’ll be returning the set for a refund.

I purchased 6 water bottles from Sam's knowing that they would be the best price. I would just rather know where items are manufactured before purchase. Ello is just holding the patents rather than manufacturing the timbers in Chicago. Chicago is one of my favorite towns. Cannot rate as I haven't decided if I will use these. My husband already prefers the other brand of the other 4 containers.

Great water bottle that you can actually fit your hand all the way in to clean! I wasn't sure if I would like the straw but the flow from the straw is great! You can get a good amount of water at once and if you don't want to use the straw you can drink without it. There is a slide cover that will also close the drink hole to protect it from anything getting into your water when not using the straw. These are fantastic... definitely a keeper!

I really wanted to like these. I was excited about the handle on the lid. I have many other tumblers that have flopped for one reason or another. Well, these have flipped also. First of all, they do NOT fit in my SUV cupholders. Also, I can NOT get the lids to screw on so that the straw hole is in a good location. I tried and tried with no success. I like the Simple Modern lids that have a half twist and they are correctly placed.

I bought these a few months ago. They are really easy to clean and they do fit in a normal car cup holder in the console. I have ice water with me always and my ice will stay all day and I just fill it back up with water. These have not sweated on the outside which I love. The handle is easy to grip. I am going to order some more as gifts and another set for me.

I love these cups! I have bought so many of them and even have them as gifts! It's the handle on the top! It just makes life so much easier. If you are like me and you have a backpack purse on your back, holding a child's hand the other had can hold this and your phone at the same time! Without your hand cramping up like it would with a Stanley handle. You don't carry it like a beer mug. You carry it like a basket. Makes it a lot lighter somehow. And drinks taste delicious in it! Cold . Icy delicious. ( spill proof too. I love them! I absolutely do!

Keeps my ice cold and holds 40 oz. Great deal for 2 cups.

Great cup. Keeps me drinking water all day!

Love them. They keep my drink cold for up to 48 hours.
