Ello Beacon Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Tumbler with Slider Lid and Optional Straw

Husband got me this ello mug for my birthday. I love it! It's a good size for staying on top of my hydration (24 Oz.), and it fits nicely in my cup holder when I'm driving. I love the color and the spillfree lid. In the picture you can see i did put a silicon wrist band around it, hust to give me a little more grip when I'm lifting it out of the cup holder to drink. I haven't used hot drinks in it, but if I use ice, it keeps my drinks cold for several hours. I usually drink it before the ice can melt. It's taken a few tumbles in parking lots and such (I always have it with me), and it has held up nicely. Not a scratch. I recommend it. Read more

I have multiple of these...leave them at home, in my office, everywhere! One of the best and most used things in my kitchen Pros: -Keep drinks cold for HOURS. If I make an iced coffee in the morning, it stays cold and undiluted all day. Great for cold brew, soda, water, iced tea, etc. -Straws are big, like the straws from Dunkin or McDonalds. The straw hole is therefore also big, so pretty much any kind you prefer will fit. Also, no plastic-y taste. -Fun/stylish colors. Makes you feel like you're at the beach, even if you're stuck in a dreary office. -Dishwasher safe. (I think they recommend hand washing, but I've put them in the dishwasher multiple times a week for years without any issues) Cons: -These are not meant to be flung around or tossed in a bag. The seal is moderately tight, but the lid comes off VERY easily. -Similarly. you can't drink from them directly. Definitely not recommended for hot drinks. Read more

Love it! I bought one from Target ages ago and yet they stopped selling this version. Found them on Amazon, and stocked up. Great for keeping hydrated all day long. The biggest perk though is the insulation! I can leave a cold drink in my car on a warm day for 2+ hrs and it's still cold when I come back out. Same with hot drinks. Can keep the temp pretty steady even without the lid on. Read more

This is my 2nd Ello tumbler. It's by far the best. It keeps ice in my cup over night. My Yeti doesn't hold ice as long as my Ello does. It's better then all my Yeti's. I highly recommend this before spending your money on a yeti's. Read more

I like that this cup keeps my beverage very cold for a very long time, even without having to use ice. It will keep the temp consistent without having to freeze or chill the cup prior like my old cup. I normally just take the coldest water from the tap possible and the cup will hold it at that same temp for hours. My only complaint is that the lid is not screwed on or clamped on or anything. There’s just a gasket, which is good at keeping the lid in place, but I’m not so confident it would survive a spill if it tipped over or was dropped. The straw is well made and much wider than a regular restaurant straw so it’s easier to clean Read more

I'm mainly using this in the car, as I was tired of the mess and moisture that other cups leave in the console cup holder. Though that was my initial intention, I've actually started using this daily in the house too as I find that I drink much more water with this at my side and I don't have to worry about leaving rings on the table either. Love it so much that I had to order another one b/c my husband kept using mine. Note: remember to remove or wash in the groove where the silicone ring sits in the lid. I was just washing the lid in tact without paying specific notice to that grooved area. One day I noticed something dark along the silicone ring. Ugh, gross . . . there was a ring of mold along where the silicone ring is seated in the lid. Love: - completely condensation free and sweat-free - ice will stay frozen in drinks for close to 14 hours - - - solid cubes overnight if in the fridge - the straw makes it very easy to drink - the lightly textured exterior makes it very comfortable and secure to hold onto - the lack of a handle allows it to easily fit in every cup holder I've tried it in Not so much: - the lid with its' silicone seal is leakproof, but the slide closure around the straw hole is not completely water tight. That being said, unless you are laying this on its' side or upside down, the seal is plenty tight enough to prevent spillage if bumped or jostled. - need to take the silicone ring off the lid for washing/sterilizing. * * - I just ordered a third one of these - - a little disappointed that although the thermal cup is the same, the straw is different. The first 2 that I received had a straw with a stopper ring right around the bottom 3" of the straw to prevent it from falling out. The 3rd order of this same item came with just a regular straw - - - no stopper ring. Definitely not a big deal, but I really do prefer the straws with the stopper ring. Read more

I’m happy with everything about this cup. I make smoothies every single morning and I use this cup every single day. The lid fits nice, everything cleans up well, from time to time the buildup happens underneath the rubber seal, but you can take the seal off, wash it and replace it And it still works great. I’ve been using it for about eight months and it still is holding up keeping my smoothie cold and fresh. I don’t use it for hot liquids, but I’m sure it would hold the heat as well. Read more

This container looks nice and is completely machine washable, without wearing. Unfortunately, it does not properly seal, so if it ever tips it will spill. You cannot put this in your bag and go. It will spill. I even tried taping over the top and no luck. It leaks every time. Also, the straw it comes with is terrible. The first one I received had yellow glue on the inside. I sent an email and a representative sent a replacement, which took weeks to arrive and was ALSO damaged. It had a weird black substance on the outside, so I just cut it off and used it since I did not want to bother trying the company again. The straw bends over time (not sure if just from use or from the dish washer). In the end I just bought my own set of straws. This bottle isn't a standard size so they weren't easy to find. Read more
