The product impresses with its first-class double-wall vacuum insulation, which keeps food warm for up to 9 hours or cool for up to 16 hours . This eliminates the need for cooler bags, and fresh, healthy food is always ready to enjoy on the go.
The generous opening area makes filling and cleaning much easier, while the option of warming baby bottles on the go offers additional convenience. The outer lid can also be used as a practical bowl for outings, which increases versatility .
Thanks to the pressure release valve, the container can be opened effortlessly, which is particularly practical for children and busy users.
The non-slip base ensures a secure stand and the sealing ring guarantees leak-proof transport in bags – ideal for everyday use. The thermal container is also available with a customised engraving.
By selecting the desired colour and engraving , it becomes a personal gift that is guaranteed to impress.
Additional extras such as a space-saving integrated folding spoon, coloured rubber loops for better transport and a matching transport bag to protect against scratches round off the range.

This product was delivered in a cardboard box that was well matched to the size of the product box.
Inside the box was the attractively designed product carton. When you open it, you notice that the product is packaged in plastic. It would be desirable for the manufacturer to consider a more environmentally friendly option.
Instructions for use are not included with the product, but are not required as the product is self-explanatory.

When you pick up the product for the first time , you immediately notice its robustness.
The practical storage bag is also made of sturdy fabric and is perfectly adapted to the size of the container.
The silicone carrying straps included with the product are colourful and make a robust first impression.
As far as the spoon is concerned, it can be folded up very small and stowed away to save space.
An initial test of the closure gave the impression that the screw connection is stable.
The design of this product is modern and timeless, and the bottle can be purchased in different colours or sizes depending on requirements.
This product makes a very good first impression.

This thermo mug for food was subjected to a thorough practical test .
In terms of heat retention , it was found that the container keeps food warm for almost 9 hours.
The insulating capacity for cold food or drinks is very good and lasts as long as specified by the manufacturer.
In terms of handling and ergonomics, it was found that the container can also be easily opened by children . The outer wall of the container has a good feel.
Minimal deductions are made for cleaning: Only parts of the jar (lid) can be cleaned in the dishwasher . A practical cleaning brush is included in the scope of delivery, which can be used to quickly clean the non-dishwasher-safe container.
A big plus point of the product is that it is available in a wide range of colours and filling sizes. To create an individual experience, it is also possible to personalise the outer wall with an engraving.
In practical tests, this product impressed us with its reliable heat retention and cooling function as well as its good seal.
