The best large thermoses

The oblong (body length 37 cm) thermos of the Ranger brand is a 1.6-liter model that can be recommended for simultaneous use by 2-3 people. It uses the usual double-walled design with a vacuum layer, and both the outer layer and the flask are made of high-quality stainless steel produced in South Korea.

Ranger Expert 1.6 L maintains temperature well, because boiling water really cools down slowly: after 6 hours - to 89 degrees, after 12 - to 78 °C. Yes, and after 24 hours the contents will still be hot - at least 69 °C. Also note that the model is equipped with a screw cap with a pouring function when partially unscrewed. This increases convenience and reduces heat loss.

The thermos comes with two mugs for drinking beverages. They are fixed one on top of the other and act as external lids, which simplifies transportation. These components are made of food-grade plastic, and it is also stated that the product does not contain harmful components such as BPA.

The strong points of the accessory include a high level of reliability, which is confirmed, among other things, by a lifetime guarantee on the flask, provided that it remains intact. Among the shortcomings, one can highlight the lack of a handle, but the diameter of 9.3 cm allows you to easily grasp the body with your palm, as is the case with classic liter analogs.

Ranger Expert 1.6 L is an interesting thermos with an attractive price-quality ratio.

The 2-liter classic thermos from SKIF is available in two color options - "stainless steel" and black. The model has average dimensions for its volume (340x110 mm) and weighs slightly less than 1 kg without contents, so it is very conveniently supplemented with a handle. The latter is fixed in two positions - pressed against the body (for storage) and with a wide "eye" (for a comfortable grip).

The SKIF Caravanner 2.0 also comes with a removable shoulder strap, which will allow you to free your hands when carrying it. It also comes with not one, but two cups that hide one inside the other and act as the outer lid of the thermos.

The model is made using vacuum technology, and the outer walls and flask are made of AISI 304 stainless steel. The double screw cap is also responsible for reducing heat loss - with a base and a core screwed into it. For pouring, only the latter should be removed, and for maintenance - both elements.

The thermos is suitable for use with both hot and cold drinks and retains its original temperature for a long time. Thus, boiling water cools down to about 80 degrees Celsius in the first 6 hours, to 70 °C after another 6 hours, and remains quite hot after 24 hours - about 60 °C.

Some users consider the weak fixation of the outer lid to be a disadvantage: to remove it, you need to perform a quarter turn, which, for example, can happen accidentally in a backpack filled with various things. Otherwise, the SKIF Caravanner 2.0 is a practical large thermos for long trips, long fishing, etc.

The Tefal brand thermos jug can be recommended primarily for home or office use, and only then for camping or other outdoor trips. The model can become an interior decoration, because it looks stylish and is offered in 3 color options - white, black or red.

The Tefal Ponza Pump 1.9 is also very practical. It has a folding handle for carrying, a removable lid for easy filling and cleaning of the flask, a small drip tray. But the main feature is the Comfort Press system, i.e. a pump for feeding the contents by pressing without tilting the body.

The thermal jug holds up to 1.9 liters and has double walls, which provide high thermal insulation properties. The model retains cold especially well - for at least 24 hours. The situation with heat is slightly worse, but also at a decent level - tea, coffee and other hot liquids can maintain the temperature regime for up to 12 hours.

The model is suitable for literally any drinks, because it has a glass flask, and this material is chemically inert, does not affect the smell and taste of the contents. True, glass is fragile, yes, and it is protected by plastic on the outside, which means the thermos must be protected from impacts and falls. If this condition is met, then there should be no complaints about the service life, because the manufacturer itself gives a 5-year warranty.

Tefal Ponza Pump 1.9 is a stylish and practical thermos jug that can be recommended for use at home, in the office, at outdoor events, in the catering industry, etc.

The thermos by Stanley is a classic accessory for maintaining the temperature of liquids. The model belongs to the Legendary family and is ready to offer users really cool insulation properties. Thus, a large total volume (1.9 l), increased thickness of the vacuum layer (at least 3.5 mm) and 18/8 stainless steel outside and inside allows you to retain heat for up to 45 hours, and cold - up to 2 days. Moreover, if you place ice in the Stanley Classic Legendary 1.9, it should not melt for up to 8 days.

The reliability of the thermos is supported by extended warranty obligations of the manufacturer. In most countries of the world, the vacuum technology of the product is covered by a lifetime warranty, that is, it should maintain the temperature for the entire service life - subject to adequate handling and proper care. In some regions, stainless steel models are covered by a 25-year warranty, which is also several times longer than that of the main competitors.

Due to its capacity, the thermos is quite bulky and heavy (over 1 kg without contents), so the presence of a handle is not even an advantage, but a necessity. A high screw cap provides protection against spills. It is supplemented with grooves that allow you to pour the contents when partially unscrewing. It is also worth highlighting the presence of a fairly roomy cup (outer lid), powder coating, protecting against scratches. Plus, the model can be cleaned from dirt in the dishwasher.

Stanley Classic Legendary 1.9 is not a cheap, but high-quality thermos with excellent performance properties.

The two-liter thermos from the Japanese brand Zojirushi is distinguished by its moderate weight (900 grams without contents) and average dimensions (340x125 mm) for its capacity. It is equipped with a folding plastic handle, which simplifies transportation, and also has a practical valve lid. It has a lock against accidental opening and a button that ensures easy folding.

It is also worth highlighting the fairly wide neck, which is designed to simplify the filling and maintenance procedure for Zojirushi SD-BB20. Plus, cleaning from dirt can be fully automated, since the product is approved for placement in the dishwasher.

The thermos is made of high-quality materials: first of all, it is stainless steel, from which both the flask and the outer walls are made. All plastic components do not contain potentially harmful substances and are suitable for contact with food products.

The inside of the flask is coated with Teflon, which protects the metal from oxidation and ensures chemical inertness. As a result, you can pour a variety of drinks here, including isotonics, sports cocktails, etc. At the same time, the use of Teflon does not allow you to fill the thermos with boiling water.

The model has moderate insulation properties: it is stated that the vacuum thickness was reduced to achieve compactness. As a result, the cold inside will be preserved for approximately 6 hours, although this time can be significantly extended by adding ice cubes to your favorite drinks.

The downside of the thermos is its high price. But the extra charge is partly due to the standard quality and impeccable reputation of the brand, which is confirmed, among other things, by the 5-year warranty on vacuum insulation.

Zojirushi SD-BB20 is a solid choice for fishing, traveling and trips in the summer.
