Ranking Stanley Products From Worst To Best
BY HUNTER WREN MIELE
18. Useful Box
Founded in 1913 by William Stanley Jr., Stanley has become a household name for tumblers and ice boxes like the Classic Legendary Useful Box.
Measuring just two inches tall and 10 inches across, the box is marketed as a versatile store-all. However, for $35 and only one color, the box is more gimmicky than useful.
17. IceFlow Bottle
If color is all that matters to you when choosing a water bottle, then the IceFlow Bottle with Fast Flow Lid may be for you.
However, aside from color, the bottle is awkward with a mouth that's too wide, an unwieldy size that doesn't fit in most cup holders, and a steep price ranging from $30 to $90.
16. Daybreak Demitasse
Demitasse cups only fit about 2 or 3 ounces of liquid, so you're likely not taking it with you on the go, and there's no need for Stanley's famous durability.
Stanley's demitasse is either plain black or white, with no fun colors to choose from. It also doesn't come with a lid, so be prepared for a mess if you take it to go.
15. Stay-Hot Stacking Cup
As the name implies, the Stay-Hot Stacking Cup can stack — a novel feature among the Stanley repertoire — but other than that, there's no need for this cup.
The cup only comes in a 10-ounce size, and despite its name, it only keeps drinks hot for about 30 minutes. Plus, it only comes in neutral colors like cream, ash, and shale.
14. Admiral's Mug
The Adventure Tough-to-Tip Admirals Mug is Stanley’s goofiest-looking product, with a wide, heavy base that tapers toward the mouth of the mug.
Although the base will surely keep the mug stable, it doesn't add much value for the everyday customer, making it impractical to fit in a cup holder and cumbersome to hold.
