What Others Say
Smart Mug is a winner!
The smart mug series of mugs are the best travel mugs I have ever used. I am in my car an average of 43,000 miles a year. It is excellent to be able to set the mug's temperature to my favorite drinking level. Cleaning the mug is easy since the liner is removeable. The liner is definitely NOT dishwasher safe. Unfortunately, the rubber temp control button has a tendency to pop out of the control panel over time, rendering the temperature control useless. Try to be careful not to pull or rub anything against the control button. This is the third mug I have purchased in four years, but I still feel it is worth it.
Too Big
The first one I received failed in two uses. The somewhat sophisticated control panel is located on the side and it is NOT sealed. If you spill any fluid onto the side and it goes into the circuitry, it can short out. Another problem is the plug recepticle is on the opposite side of the handle...may sound good, but that makes it too big for my Acura TL's coffee cup holder. Lastly, the cup lid is flimsy and doesn't secure well. This cup was a great concept that was poorly executed.
A Disappointing Product
The features of Stainless Steel 16-oz. Smart Mug - Silver seemed promising to me. Reality didn't fufill expectation, however. The handle broke off when I adjusted its position in my car's cup holder. After two weeks the electronic system built into the mug failed. Not only does the temperature indicators stay blank, but the heater no longer warms the coffee at all. I believe this item is made by a Chinese firm. China has given the world silk, gunpowder, and printing. A shame it has been premature in giving us a reliable travel mug.
Smart Mug
The first time I used this mug, it broke. I filled it with coffee, plugged in and smoke came out of the display area and the digital display was fried. This was a lot of money to pay for something that breaks the first time you use it!
