They’re all made in China just white labelled. If you like brands, zojirushi is quality. I hate the brand but yeti does have nice features on their bottles. Kleen kanteen also good. But they’re all pretty similar. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] excess0680@lemmy.world 1 point 3 weeks ago +1 on Zojirushi. They make excellent vacuum bottles and other related household/kitchen items and utensils. I’ve got one of their bottles and a water boiler. permalink fedilink source parent [–] somebody_to_love@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago Laken thermo bottle. Stainless steel. Keeps liquids cool/hot for ~4 hours. Built like a tank, it has gone flying from my backpack pocket multiple times - once it rolled on the ground for 50 meters when I had a bike accident. Still works after 10 years, using it daily. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 weeks ago (1 child) Contigo are pretty good plastic ones that look a bit nicer. If you want metal, I have a few from Stanley that are great at keeping stuff iced for literal days, but they’ll obviously be heavier. They’re also more expensive too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BluePea@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago I have a metal, contigo one, works as intended permalink fedilink source parent
