Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of LiquiSeal Travel Mug in Silver by OXO
Customer Review: Lasted 6 months
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this mug for 6 months. I got it for a long bus commute to work in DC. First, you cannot take the top apart to clean it. After about 3 months, the rubber gaskets started falling out (I have only hand-washed this mug). Annoying, but I could tuck them back in; however, eventually, it became a routine.
Around the 6 month mark, the button on the top started sticking in, so it wouldn't close without working at it, trying to get my fingernail under it to pull it out, and eventually stopped closing at all. I would have to take the top off, and push the plunger back up into it to get it to close.
Tonight after soaking the top in vinegar overnight, I took all the gaskets out and held it up to the light so I could see how dirty it was inside. Crud and gunk (looked like barnacles, no kidding) was all up inside of the top. Ugh.. Yeah.. so here I am.. looking for another mug. Don't buy this thing. Spend a little more money and get something that comes apart.
Customer Review: Spill Proof Yes, Sanitary..um No.
Summary: 1 Stars
After using this cup 3 times, it wasn't usable any more which was very disappointing as it worked great up to that point. What went wrong was, this cup didn't always get rinsed with in minutes after being used (it would sometimes sit for a few hours, who has time or a place to hand wash a cup while on the go which is what this cup is for?). And coffee/cream and what not would get trapped up in the mechanism that helped keep the leak proof lid, leak proof.
We tried the dishwasher, soaking in hot water and soap and even bleach and the ROTTEN MILK smell that got stuck up in there never came out until it was slightly masked by the bleach. Obviously whatever is in that cup that makes it spill proof makes it impossible for a real deep clean. I had to toss it out.
It was really great for a spill proof mug, but not very sanitary if you ask me.
Customer Review: Beverage smells and tastes like plastic, use stainless steel travel mugs
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought and used this coffee mug, and I do not recommend it. The only reason is because my latte or tea tastes and smells like plastic whenever I use this mug. This is made of plastic (polycarbonate) and gives the chemical taste and smell to my drink. Polycarbonates leach hormone-disrupting chemicals into your beverage and also they can not be recycled easily. If you do not want to risk your health and use a more environmentally benign product, just use stainless steel travel mugs. I would go with the stainless steel version of the same brand. The design is nice and the seal works pretty well.Customer Review: Impossible to Clean
Summary: 1 Stars
DO NOT put in microwave or dishwasher!
Nowhere on the exterior of the package are these warnings, but after you purchase it and open the mug there is a small paper hidden inside warning you not to put the mug in the microwave or dishwasher. Why do they need to hide this information? Because they don't want you to know that it is impossible to clean.
Customer Review: Don't Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
It is impossible to clean the cap and the rubber used on the mug and for the cap seal smells so much it affects the perceived flavor of any beverage.
