Stanley tumblers are famous for their quality and design, but also because they are so, so good that (and this is totally true) once a car caught fire with a tumbler inside, and a day after the fire, the container still had unmelted ice inside. Google it! This actually happened and went viral. The fame of these tumblers has skyrocketed since then and every time they appear in stores they disappear.
To compete with Stanley’s fame, a couple of brands are giving him strong competition with two “dupes” that are selling thousands at Best Buy. Both have 4.9-star overall ratings and dozens of praises. Discover what they are and their characteristics.
The Stanley Tumblr Dupe Rated 4.9 Stars on Best Buy
One of the Stanley dupes that is one of the bestsellers at Best Buy is the Takeya brand (40oz) and is designed to be taken anywhere. It is resistant to shocks, heat, cold, and intense use. This tumbler features double-wall insulation and promises to keep drinks cold for over 24 hours.
The tapered bottom design easily fits into most car cupholders available in the United States, and its dust- and sweat-resistant coating make it perfect for taking from the home to the gym and back again. To be proof against almost anything, it comes with a removable silicone bumper, which protects the glass so that it stays in perfect condition and lasts for years.
Customers have given it an average rating of 4.9 stars out of 5 on the Best Buy website. One of the top reviews says that it doesn’t spill or pour its contents, and it stays sturdy with the base covered. “It’s my favorite bottle ever,” says a shopper named Megan. “I actually accidentally dropped it the other day pretty hard when it was full of water and the lid stayed on and the only water that came out was from the straw. I was afraid that I had damaged the cup, but it is totally fine. My kitchen tiles on the other hand, took a little bit of a scraping,” she said.
So it is more resistant than the ground? I would still tell you not to drop it, just in case. The price of the Takeya tumbler is $27.99, a little cheaper than the Stanley equivalent.
Watch Out, Stanley — This Tumbler Is Coming After You
The 40-ounce Owala tumblr (same size as the Takeya) is ideal for keeping you hydrated all day without having to refill it every five minutes. And it’s not just any bottle, it’s made of stainless steel, with a double wall of insulation so your drinks stay cold for longer: the manufacturer promises at least 24 hours.
The 2-in-1 lid lets you choose between sipping in style or drinking big, and its wide reusable straw can be removed for regular washing and disinfection. It’s all dishwasher safe, so you don’t have to worry about cleaning it. The price at Best Buy is $37.99 in the color “night light”, an intense opaque black, but in the colors “los valley”, “splash zone”, and “cloud escape”, the price is $30.99. Any of them also have an average review of 4.9 stars out of 5 on the Best Buy website.
