  Review of Thermos Active 1000 vacuum flask

  Features

  1 litre stainless steel flask. Colour: midlight blue. 522g. leak proof auto-stopper.

  Comments

  Good points: This slim flask was excellent at retaining heat, keeping hot water above 80° for over 8 hours and chilled water only gained 3°C over 24hours. The leak proof stopper had a small aperture so it poured well without spilling.

  Drawbacks: Awkward to remove lid because of shiny finish especially if hands are wet.
