'Stanley who?' Yeti's stackable, insulated straw cups are on sale for $25
These rugged tumblers are a compact alternative to a certain other buzzy brand, shoppers say — and they're truly leakproof!
Right now, it seems like we're living in Stanley's world. You probably can't go a week or, in some cases, maybe even a day without seeing the viral Stanley Quencher tumbler, whether it's in person or online. While the popular cup isn't too shabby, many hydration aficionados believe there are better options, such as this more compact, affordable tumbler from Yeti. Better yet, it's 30% off at Amazon right now.
Has carrying your Stanley given you a bout of carpal tunnel syndrome? Check out this streamlined competitor from Yeti.
Why is this a good deal? 💰
Buying a brand-name insulated cup with legions of fans for under $40 is almost like finding a needle in a haystack, but high-performing Yeti Rambler is just $25 in select colors on Amazon. Sure, you can find knockoffs that won't insulate as well and may be prone to leaks, but if you want to get the Ferrari of tumblers at a Ford Focus price, now's the time to shop.
Why do I need this? 🤔
If you've been eyeing the Stanley Quencher or any larger tumbler but just can't see yourself lugging around a cup of that size, the Yeti Rambler will keep you well-hydrated without the wrist fatigue. At 26 ounces, it's compact enough to hold just the right amount of any hot or cold drink, but it's easier to carry and it fits perfectly in a car cup holder.
It includes the fan-favorite Yeti straw and lid, specially designed with a built-in stopper to keep your straw firmly in place.
The Yeti Rambler is also made from durable stainless steel with double-walled vacuum insulation that keeps your drinks piping hot or ice cold for hours. And if you're worried about durability, rest easy: According to the brand, it withstood falls from trucks, trips down rocky hillsides and even being kicked by a horse during testing.
What reviewers say 💬
The Yeti Rambler may be the best-kept secret in this seemingly never-ending battle of the big cups. Several Amazon shoppers even say it has the Stanley beat in many ways.
Pros 👍
"Stanley who?" one shopper wrote. "I'll always be a Yeti girl. Pretty color, no leaks. Perfect every time."
"Yeti cups are the best of the best," another shopper said. "Used to buy different brands like Contigo and Stanley, but none of them have the same quality and keep the coffee hot or water cold for so long!"
"It's been my go-to for just about every drink I've had," a five-star reviewer wrote. "It's perfect for both hot and cold drinks, but my favorite use is for smoothies since the straw is wide enough to handle small chunks of fruit and ice."
You don't have to worry about it sliding out of your hands either: "I didn't know that I would like this cup so much," a fan wrote. "The outside has a non-slip coating which is great in the car. Most cups have smooth outsides that are hard to grip."
Cons 👎
One reviewer noted a change they'd make to the design: "Excellent cup. [I] just wish it had a hot beverage opening on the lid."
"I do like Yeti cups lids and seals better than others. Keeps my Publix green tea out of the gallon, without ice, cold all nine hours of my work day," a final fan wrote. "[However], they're hard to scrub if you leave anything in them in the car for a week." (Note to shoppers: Clean your cups more than once a week!)
