This is well made Airpot. I tested it having boiling water for 24hrs and it held the hot temperature of water really well, obviously it wasn't at boiling temperature after 24hrs, but water was still very very hot. But i can surely say, this Airpot will hold the exact temperature for 6 - 8 hrs. For its price and capacity, this is an excellent buy. The only consern for me is the inner tube is plastic, instead of stainless steel. I'm not sure how health safe having a plastic tube in high heat drinks.

This Airpot was exactly what we needed for our 1st annual pumpkin patch. It kept our apple cider piping hot for hours. This Airpot with the lever was easy to use, and the lever made it easy to serve.

Excellent product, keeps my coffee hot all day long from mid-morning to supper time with no issues... probably longer if I left more in it by the end of the day. I've bought this item a couple of times, still using one from 5 yrs ago daily at home since new. The other was for traveling that I'm getting ready to replace cause it wasn't stored properly for too long at my parents. I'm real funny about letting coffee burn for hours, and it saves me a ton of money on wasting coffee like before having to make a fresh pot every couple of hours. One full pot lasts me all day now. This also has the glass insert, not stainless steel, which is much more affordable. If you want piping hot all day long, you might like a stainless steel version better, but this is honestly sufficient and lasts several hours just fine. Initially I was concerned about glass instead of stainless steel, but I've never had the glass break, scratch or get comprised at all with either carafe I've purchased from Sams Club. Highly recommend!

I've owned this product for about three years. It replaced a vintage one lined in plastic found in my home. Probably over 30 years old and still reeking of coffee all those years later. It was impossible to clean and make use of for anything but more coffee. However, I didn't want the health hazards associated with hot coffee and plastic. Thus began my search for a glass-lined airpot, which I found here at Sam's Club. Unlike the stainless steel and plastic lined pots that stain and retain odors, the glass vacuum lining works to retain heat longer but odors and stains less. Cleanup is easy using extremely hot water and vinegar. Fill to capacity, let it soak an hour or overnight, dispense about 1/3 of the vinegar through the dispenser and rinse. Not sure what the other reviewer is saying about it being hard to clean. You aren't supposed to be using an abrasive cleaner on glass because it could scratch and shatter when you least expect it. The 8-hour heat rating is on the conservative side. If you start with boiling water it will be piping hot over 12 hours later, and warm two days later. Now one thing I'm not clear about is why Sam's Club has this same manufacturer, same looking airpot and the same capacity listed twice, one that is about $10 more expensive than this one. They look and read the same (item #624578 vs. this model). I haven't had any problem with the plastic chrome-look lever breaking, either. Perhaps the person who is complaining is using it in an industrial or commercial setting and should be buying an airpot rated for heavier use. This model, however, is ideal for home use. Hot water is always ready and waiting for tea, coffee, cocoa, soup and other cooking uses without any hit to one's electrical bill. Honestly, I don't know why those electric kettles are so popular when they leave the user tethered to a cord and they cost so much more. With a vacuum-glass lining you don't need that. As proof I point to the restaurants who use these to keep their coffee and tea hot. One important thing to point out is that one should push the dispensing lever with the palm gently. Scalding hot liquid can splatter if you are in a hurry and push it too fast. Pulling the lever down by the fingertips could be the reason the other person had breakage issues. No such bad luck here. For that matter, I never even noticed the lever WAS plastic. The worst thing I can say about this airpot is that the stainless steel finish is a pain. It looks nice at first but it will scratch and ding pretty fast, as most stainless steel trim does. Also, the logo will rub off and look pretty tattered in time. By far the most negative thing I can think to say is that this airpot at this pricepoint isn't available in white. I would prefer a white model to better match my kitchen. There is only one model I found online that matches this criteria, manufactured by a competitor, and it is nearly $100. I can't justify spending that when this present airpot works so well. I don't know how Sam's Club did it, but you just can't get a better value on a genuine glass-lined airpot ANYWHERE online. Sure you can get them smaller, but not this nice for the price. I especially like the lever. When in the upright position it serves to remind you that there is liquid in the pot. The push-button type airpot dispensers don't look any different when they are empty or full. The lever type dispenser on this model is also easier to use than the button type. I highly recommend this product.

We are very happy with this product overall and use it daily. It keeps our coffee hot for at least 8 hours (but not overnight) and is easy to use. The stainless steel exterior is easy to clean and looks nice. The top swings open far enough for us to fit our coffee maker cone directly into the airpot, and the lever is easy to operate to dispense the contents. Nearly the entire contents can be dispensed...less than two or three teaspoons remain when emptied. The only negatives are that it is too tall to fit under our cabinets and too tall to fit under the kitchen faucet for cleaning. Also, like all airpots made with glass vacuum bottles, the glass bottle can be broken if handled carelessly or dropped.The under-$20 price tag and the 2.2L capacity makes this an outstanding 5-star value. We used Click 'n Pull to order and picked up the product within 24 hrs!

Great buy - I love this big flask. It is perfect for our outdoor picnics or bigger gatherings at home for tea/coffee lovers. I have already bought 3 of them for our friends n family :) This is glass insulated and not steel so my tea stays hot for good 5-6 hours.

I love this Airpot, it is large enough to hold a 12 cup pot of coffee, and then some. It keeps coffee hot, the flow of the pump is wonderful. I've had trouble with the stand to hold the pump up in place. So, we have left it in position, as to not break the stand. It's not ideal, but, we're makin it work. The shipping has been unpleasant experience. I have order 2 Airpots 2 different shipping purchases. Of each shipping one pot came broken. I wish these were available in store for pickup, as they used to be, to avoid the breakage.

I have bought three of these flasks from Sams. I like the the big size that makes it perfect for our larger gatherings. Easy to dispense The cost is reasonable. I dislike how easily the hook in the lid breaks and suddenly makes the flask unusable. Also, my latest flask just bursted yesterday as I was putting hot tea in it. overall good.

We had a Sam's airpot for several years and it performed flawlessly. We just purchased this airpot and used it for three days and were very pleased with the looks and performance. We used it to keep drinks cold. Today, after using the airpot, there was still ice in the airpot and we poured more cold liquid into the pot to refill it and the glass liner shattered. Very disappointing. 1 Star for the airpot. Sam's was great about a full refund. 5 Stars for Sam's customer service.

The airpot has great ability to keep coffee warm, but the box states, "easy cleaning"...laughable. I would like to see their idea of DIFFICULT cleaning!! First you have to remove the top, which the directions neglect to tell you HOW to remove the top. I figured that out and continued on with the directions..."clean interior with soft sponge or cloth", OK. In order to actually REACH the interior you have to REMOVE A SCREW!! They recommend using a bleach solution to pump through nozzle as well. If all that weren't enough, you then are given "directions" for cleaning the bellows, which is the pump assembly in the top. It tells you to apply pressure and release the bottom plate, well, I've applied about all the pressure I can short of breaking the thing and I still can't get it off. The rest of the directions go as follows,"Allow bellows to soak for 10 minutes in the disinfecting solution. After 2 minutes, gently squeeze the bellows and agitate the bellows. Repeat every two minutes. Remove the from the cleaning solution. The interior surface of the bellows is accessible through the large hole in one end of the bellows. Rinse the bellows in clean hot water to remove traces of the cleaning solution. If residue remains, insert a household disinfectant wipe into the large bellow's hole and hand wipe the surface." And this is AFTER you've already removed the screw to reach the inside... I don't have the time to adequately clean this thing and the directions don't indicate whether your supposed to do this intensive cleaning EVERY time or just occasionally. I so wanted to love this pot and if not for the cleaning...I would have kept it.
