Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / January 2006Vacuum flasks
I have just purchased a 1 litre stainless steel "Thermos" brand vacuum flask. The model is the "WORK" flask. The flask seems to retain its water temperature for many hours, while the flask is left upright on the kitchen bench. However on first use, I discovered the threaded stopper will not screw down tight while there is hot water in the flask! The result is not so hot water when I need it. Can anyone recommend a good quality 1 litre plus Stainless Steel vacuum flask that also has good temperature retention (90°-95°C after 2 hours) Cheers Keith Take it back - exchange it. We have always used "thermos" and found them great at heat retention. They have a warranty, it could be a faulty one. We took one back once, with me carrying on about what a rip off etc. Hubby being the silent type, just told me to shhh, exchanged it and we are still using it about 10 yrs later, still hot, still great.

I have to agree, I had a similar problem with the screw cap stripped and wouldn't tighten. I took it back for a replacement. Check the bottom of the flask for warranty details, some had a life time warranty. The one I am using now I have had for years and still going strong. Leo > Take it back - exchange it.

Still hot after 10 years, bloody marvelous :) Given there is a lengthily warranty, I'll have another go at thermos Thanks for the feedback Keith > Take it back - exchange it.

The one I've been using daily at work (truck driver) for the last 2 yrs doesn't even have a brand on it and it keeps water hot enough to make coffee all day and from memory it cost less than $20.00 from Kmart. IMO the expensive brand name flasks are a waste of money. Daryl >> I have just purchased a 1 litre stainless steel "Thermos" brand vacuum >> flask. The model is the "WORK" flask.

But you're not getting a special brand name vacuum, but some generic absence of air pressure. > Daryl Antti >>>>I have just purchased a 1 litre stainless steel "Thermos" brand vacuum >>>>flask.

The replacement was tested with hot water. The screw cap failed. So its back to Woollies for a refund. Cheers, Keith I have just purchased a 1 litre stainless steel "Thermos" brand vacuum flask.

Water isn't compressible, so I imagine you wouldn't be able to screw the lid down properly if it was overfull. |
