Zojirushi SM-VH60-GZ Insulated Stainless Steel Mug - Keeps Drinks Hot

In this review the Zojirushi SM-VH60-GZ is evaluated as a compact, reliable insulated travel mug for people who need consistent temperature control and a leak-resistant lid. The single biggest reason to buy is its CRC TempHold vacuum insulation, which consistently keeps beverages hot or cold for hours without adding bulk. The mug's compactlight construction and SlickSteel polished 18/8 stainless steel interior make it portable and easy to clean, while the ReliaSeal flip-lid with safety lock offers real peace of mind for commuters or bag-packed outings.

Key Features

• CRC TempHold insulation: Keeps coffee and other drinks hot or cold for hours, so users can enjoy a beverage at the desired temperature long after leaving home.
• ReliaSeal leak-proof design: The flip lid seals tightly and locks in place to prevent spills when carried in a bag or cup holder.
• SlickSteel polished interior: The 18/8 stainless steel interior is electropolished for a corrosion resistant, sanitary surface that repels stains and is easy to clean.
• CompactLight construction: The mug offers a high capacity in a small footprint so it fits most car cup holders without feeling heavy to carry.
• Flip-lid with safety lock: A one-handed flip opening and locking latch help prevent accidental openings while providing an easy 1-7/8' wide opening for filling and pouring.

Who It's For

The Zojirushi SM-VH60-GZ is ideal for commuters, office workers, and anyone who brings coffee or tea on the go and values dependable heat retention and a leak-resistant lid.
