HydrapeakRoadster 40 oz Tumbler with Handle and Straw Lid, Convenient 2 in 1 Lid, Tumbler Lid Straw, 40oz Tumbler With Handle (White)

Straw doesn’t work, tried to return to Amazon and have never had such a awful hard experience in trying to return something

TLWR;Great cup that works as stated, unless you get a faulty lid, which Hydrapeak will warranty, or you can play the exchange game with Amazon until you get a good one.Get one if this cup fits your needs, and if you can deal with a little adversity if needed!----------------------------------------------------------I'll start by saying that my go to insulated cup is my trusty Bubba Hero XL that has lasted years of abuse and is still going strong and I will always recommend it. The lid is leakproof and I use a silicone straw, but to close it requires pulling the straw out (not always an option) or shoving the straw into the cup before closing and having to take the lid off to retrieve it. Other features that it has that I like are a silicone/rubber bottom and an open bottom handle (which I use to hang it on my work cart or even a pant pocket).I was looking for a larger cup with all the same features as the Bubba AND also a built in straw that's still leakproof. This has it all, but the reviews make it seem like it's too good to be true.The first one I purchased works very well. It's the bare steel model and it came with a small dent in it's side. I can't knock Hydrapeak for that, because we all know the randomness/barrenness of Amazon handling and packaging, lol. It is only a little larger than the Bubba, and it's mostly in the bottom diameter which means it'll fit in less cupholders than the Bubba. It fits in my car's cupholder just fine. I decided that if the dent didn't compromise the insulation, I'd keep it.My first test was filling it up 7/8's full of tap water, remembering to pop the sippy end as I installed it (remember, ANY Leakproof lid from ANY manufacturer NEEDS to be vented when installed) and leaving it upside down on a silicone drying mat for an hour to check its leakproof-ness. Verdict, 100% Leakproof.Second, for insulation effectiveness, I filled it 1/3 of ice and 1/2 of tap water (leaving 1/6 of the cup free), installing the lid and set it on the counter for 24 hours. It still had a little bit of ice left after that, so with proper cooling (chilling the interior of the cup before adding ice and refrigerated liquid) this cup should easily keep your drink cold for the claimed 34 hours. 👍Now we come to the dreaded straw. When I first had the cup in hand, I flipped it up and took a pull. It felt like sucking on a straw against my hand, a tight vacuum. I noticed that the silicone vent was real tiny. Popping the sippy lid released the vacuum, so I said, "not a big deal if it helps the straw work properly." After testing the leakproof-ness, I flipped the straw and took another pull and it worked. The vacuum effect had almost vanished, only noticable when you flip the sippy lid open. When I finish a cup, the vacuum returns. None of this is a deal breaker for me.Built-in flip straws are very uncommon in cup lids. Most adult drinking vessels with them are bottles and that's not what people who are looking at this cup are looking for. If you get one built like mine, you shouldn't be disappointed. BUT if you don't get one like mine...* Here's the asterisk.I bought a second one for my mother, in the Rainbow color. The only thing I initially noticed different was the rubbery coating used on it. Has a great feel and seems durable.The next day I got a call from her telling me the straw wasn't working! So I stopped by to look at it. After close examination, I discovered that there are 2 versions of the 2 way lid. In picture 1, my lid has a large gasket that wraps around the 'nozzle' area for the straw which actually protrudes into the cup deeper and comes with a shorter straw. The rainbow cup lid in picture 2 has a small donut shaped gasket that had dislodged along the way. The flipper end didn't look like it was seated correctly as well. Even getting the gasket in place didn't correct it. It still didn't work. So it was time to contact Hydrapeak for a new lid.As I sent word for a replacement with Hydrapeak, I ordered a third cup. I know, crazy, but Amazon has an amazing return policy, so why not find out how bad it can be ASAP? Well, the second rainbow came with the same small gasket lid, but everything seemed installed correctly and it worked just like my first one did.Hydrapeak did contact me back, apologized and said they'd send me a replacement. We'll see how long that takes and I'll update this if and when I get the replacement lid or if there are any other issues.****Update****Received the replacement lid very quickly. They said they'd send me shipping info first, but it just showed up a week after the correspondence. It is the same style as my first one.Hydrapeak, you rock! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I bought two color because I was undecided and ended up returning both. One came delivered with a dent (Sage) while the other was wildly different than expected (Pale Sage).I was looking for a light color so that it doesn't get hot in the sun but that wouldn't be so light it picked up stains or dirt. I think I will just get the brushed stainless. The base fit in my cars cup holder and the handle is not awkward at all considering the monster capacity.The lid is super convenient. If I have a hot drink or shaker ball, I forgo the straw. The straw is awesome with smoothies or water.From the pictures and description, I thought the pale sage would just be a light green (similar to the Sage but not as dark). It's actually more of a Robin's egg blue. For some reason there was a paper or plastic underneath the non slip base.I liked the Sage color a lot, the handle is not a perfect match for the bottom but it's not off putting on the one I received. It did come dented already. There was a thin bubble wrap on both items (shipped together) in a large box - plenty of room for them to bump into each other. I probably would have kept it even if the color seems dark enough to get hot in direct sun.

I bought this cup for my mother because she was ranting and raving on another cup that I have. Let me tell you I am impressed. This cup is not only insulated as most are these days, but it has two sides. It has a straw that you can "put away" and a side you can sip to drink tea or coffee. The cup accidentally fell over the other day and nothing came out! I was also impressed with the variety of colors that you can choose from. Now my daughter wants a cup. This cup is a winner all the way around.

This tumbler out beats EVERY other tumble I’ve had over the years, including Yeti. I’ve tried at least 3 dozen tumblers but this one out beats them all. I gave it a 4 star for one reason only, the straw keeps coming off inside. But even with that irritating, pain in the butt flaw, it’s still the best. You can actually carry the cup sideways, even upside down, it will not leak at all. You can drop this cup from 6 ft, it will not bust open, it will not leak a single drop! That’s why when I first saw these in a store, I bout them out of what they had. Trust me, these tumblers are worth it.
