Has anyone taken this on a long road trip?(10-18hours). I am wondering how long it can keep liquids hot/warm.

it will last about 5 hours realistically. However in very hot weather your drink will still be at least cool.

I have filled it with ice and water to go to work on a hot day. At the end of the day, I throw it into my lunch bag and forget about it. The next day when I arrive at work, it still has ice in it. Hope this answers your question.

I've never used this for hot beverages but it does keep things cold for at least 16 hours.

I Took it on several 2-4 hour road trips with ice water and the ice is always still there. It does a pretty good job of keeping things cold as long as it is not in direct sunlight. I actually dont think its meant for warm/hot drinks but I could be mistaken.

If you preheat the mug with hot water for a few minutes it will last up to 5 hours hot. If you put it in the freezer for a few minutes it will keep things cold for up to 7 hours as advertised. Be sure and use the open and close valve. This cup has a small bottom to accommodate cup holders in cars. It does tip over easily. I love mine.

Hello! The thermos bottle is awesome! I cant say that we have put hot liquids but we have put warm liquids in & it's been great in keeping it warm. Overall, I think it's great for both hot & cold liquid.

I have had it stay super hot for a minimum of 6 hours. It then stayed like warm for another 2-3. Remember to keep the top slid over to closed. Keeps it hot longer. I use these every single day and we have minus temperatures 6 months of the year. Love them and will order again when needed. Hope this reps!

Absolutely! I've left mine in the hot car for 8 hrs and when I got back the beverage was still cold and even still had ice in it! Believe me you won't be dissapointed!

You're right it doesn't keep it hot real long. I'm a sipper so by the time I'm done, in say half hour, it's just luke warm.

Yes, it did stay hot for 8 hours and warm for about 12 to 15 hours. We used on a long trip to cook meat and vegatables.

Having purchased several (8) of these thermos bottles since this past summer, we haven't tried keeping anything hot yet. However, liquids remain very cold for several hours (ice not melted) even when left in our hot automobiles here in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Several hours but it also depends on how hot the liquid is when you put it in. If you keep the lid closed, it also helps keep liquids hot. Really good mug.

It keeps it hot for 8-10 hours and warm for up to about 14 hours. I found that it helps to warm the thermos up with hot water before putting in your hot item.

I have had mine for 6 months or better now. Works fine in very hot and very cold weather. No issues at all with road trips either. It does leak slightly on the side where 2 pieces come together in heavy rain but that's my only complaint.

The amount of time can vary depending on how cold it is outside. My tea is normally pretty warm evening I am outside for 45 minutes, so it does keep things warm for a while. However, it wasn't made to keep things warm and a thermos would be better for the job. Hope this helps.

It takes about 30 minutes. Figure between 30-45 minutes to reach a drinkable temp (135). it is good on a car trip that takes over an hour but not good when only running local errands.

Sorry, I had to check with my husband, who takes these mugs with him on the road. He said, Yes, they do a good job of keeping liquids how/cold.

Yes. I stays hot for as long as I need it too. I tend to let my coffee get cold and never finish a cup so Ilooked for a cup warmer and took a chance on this one. It works VERY WELL. I hope you find it to your satisfaction as well.

How long can I leave this on for at a time? and Does it keep the contents hot/warm?

It depends also on how much you have in it and how hot/cold the liquid is. Fuller it stays hot longer. I don't usually have it full. I'd say the 4 to 6 hour range works for me. I'm also satisfied with it.
