Bubba Hero XL, Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Mug, 30oz., Stainless Steel

Excellent- Tough and Keeps Liquids Cold for Hours
I just bought two more of these Bubba travel mugs. I have been using them for several years now, but when I wanted to get another one recently, I learned that Walmart apparently no longer carries this particular item. I was fortunate enough to find it on Amazon. The manufacturer states that the mug will keep liquids cold for up to 21 hours. I was so impressed after I bought the first one that I ran my own test, filling the mug with ice and water, putting the lid on it, and letting it sit at room temperature for 24 hours and then checking it. I found that all of the ice did not completely melt until well after the 24-hour period. It is a large stainless steel (30-ounce) container and I also like the way it is designed, with a reduced base so that it will fit into a vehicle drink holder and with a tight lid. I have never known one to leak (except when I forgot to close the drink opening tightly). I use them all of the time, and I sometimes “lose” one when I put it down somewhere in the house, basement, garage, outbuilding, vehicle, or even on the lawn mower, so I keep multiples on hand, so I always have one available until I find the previous “lost” one.Recently, when I was in the process of purchasing one from Amazon, I looked at the reviews and was surprised to find a number that were negative. Such as: “Leaks constantly,” “do not keep things ice cold for long at all,” “handle has already fallen off, “cheap plastic lid,” and several that complained that the handle breaks off. I have never had any of these problems, and I do not treat these mugs with care. I have a couple that have large dents in them where I managed to bash them some way or other, and they still function like new. I also read where one reviewer said that she had used this Bubba mug for a long time and really liked it, but when she could not find it at Walmart anymore, she got one from Amazon and that it leaked badly. Made me a little nervous, but I still bought one from Amazon (and then another as I am afraid they might not be available much longer), and both of them are just as tough as the ones I have had for a long time. I don’t know why the other folks had these experiences, but seeing as all of the really negative comments are less than 2% of the total reviews, I think they were just unlucky. As a result of now having owned six of these, I highly recommend them.

It’s a Bubba… what more do I need to say?
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have been a Bubba fan for YEARS and was delighted to see a stainless option when I went to replace an old plastic option that broke after dropping it.  When these went on sale, I bought a dozen for gift giving and created a whole new generation of fans (much cheaper than Y**i’s and just as good!)Quality:These cups last for years!  Ice retention:The ice will melt before days end; however, the contents remain cold.Fit:Fits perfect in the cupholder in the car and the stainless version is much better balanced than the old plastic model that had a tendency to easily tip over.  These are bottom heavy for a much more stable base – good job Bubba!Lid quality:Love the fact that you can choose which side the opening for drinking can be set by where you start the lid (full circle to tighten to prevent leaks) – so it’s great for right or left handed use.

A Huge cup that keep hot drinks hot for many hours
It’s bigger than I thought it would be but it does fit the cup holder in my car. The most impressive thing is how long it keeps my coffee hot, all day! I would assume it works as well with cold drinks but since I only use it for coffee I cannot swear to that.This is the 30 ounce cup, I see now I should have looked for 20 or less. The seams are well made and overall looks to be a high quality build, just wish it were smaller…

Best of bubba features
I have two other Bubba mugs, so I’ll explain why this one is good by describing the other two.One is shaped like a keg and I bought it during Covid – worked great and the wide base made it hard to tip over. Stuff stayed hot/cold for a long time. Metal insides also make it easier to see when residue builds up that wouldn’t get cleaned well in a dishwasher. Screw-on top can make the mug left- or right-handed which is nice, and the top won’t pop off by accident.The other one I bought after Covid because I needed one that would fit in my car’s cupholder. But that was its only good feature. Black plastic inside that doesn’t insulate well at all and you can’t tell if it’s dirty. Pop off top is no good either.This one is metal lined with a screw top, but narrows at the bottom so you can fit it in a cupholder. Hot liquids stay hot/warm for a WHILE – I’m writing this 8 hrs after putting coffee in it and it’s still above room temp. Best version of my three bubba mugs. Don’t buy the black plastic one.

I love that it keeps my coffee hot while I’m on a road trip for 4 hours & it fits in my cup holder in my vehicle.

Can hold a good amount of liquid. So far so good. Worth every penny
