Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState 40 oz

Scored on 19 verified owner verdicts, from 450 comments read across 5 communities
TL;DR
Owners consistently praise this Stanley for excellent insulation, keeping water cold and ice intact a day or longer, and they love that it slips into a car cup holder and has a comfortable, grippy handle. The recurring complaint is that it isn't leakproof, so it drips whenever it's tipped or laid on its side, and at 40oz it gets heavy and clunky when full. It earns strong loyalty for home and car use, but it's not the one to toss sideways into a bag.

74% of 19 verified owners recommend the Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState 40 oz, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.

The [Stanley](https://www.stanley1913.com/products/adventure-quencher-travel-tumbler-40-oz?utm_source=foursixty&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=website%20shoppable%20social) 40oz is god tier. It’s big enough so I can share with my DH, it keeps things cold, and it does fit in the cup holder.

Stanley’s lid doesn’t even come off easily lol

I love the Stanley flip straw tumbler which is leak proof

Now I have an original Stanley, and it's incredibly durable!

it makes the same point. The straw sticking out the top makes it incredibly inpractical

I was gifted my first Stanley, which was a 40oz, and I thought it was *perfect* for at home use but a bit impractical and heavy for class/desks and just traveling with me for daily errands and outings.

I am returning my tumbler because I just bought it yesterday and I was hoping it not to leak but sadly it leaks even when it is not upside down

a 40oz Quencher I take to theory sometimes, but it doesn’t seem to keep water cold any better than the Meoky tumbler I got for $20 on Amazon.

Wow, I bought a cup. Thanks for the video on how to use it

Not buying until this quencher is 100% leak proof when the lid is closed!

Decaf Journal (affiliate)— neutral

Unfortunately it isn't leakproof. Stanley's competitors have come out with similar cups that are in fact leakproof, so this is somewhat disappointing.

I got it off their site when they restocked and I really like it. It fits in my cup holder and I love, love the handle.

YouTube— neutral

I like tumblers for casual use cause they fit in my cup holder and are easier for frequent sipping

The twisting part of my lid is so hard to twist I feel like I’m almost breaking it
