Zojirushi Vacuum Insulation

What is Vacuum Insulation?

Vacuum means the air between the outer and inner layers of stainless steel has been removed to create a vacuum insulation. It blocks heat from transferring through air (conduction). Zojirushi vacuum insulation also features a copper or aluminum layer tightly wrapped around the outside of the inner stainless steel layer. This copper or aluminum layer reflects heat (radiation), further minimizing the temperature change of your drink. Lastly, heat is blocked from escaping through the opening (convection) with a tightly closed lid.

Customers are mixed about the leakage of the food storage container. Some mention that it never leaked, while others say that it leaks when you pack liquids and heat if you pack hot. The rubber bottom of the container gets soaked, and the water somehow gets inside the walls. The metal container traps water and does not dry out. The water absorbs the plastic and the smell and taste is bad.

Insulates food well. Replacement parts are pricey!
I purchased this is Aqua and Shiny Pink. They are beautiful! They are also functional. We've had the Thermos Foogo for many many years. We had to replace them because of the mold in the lid and the fact that my kids lunch were cold by lunchtime. I was hesitant to purchase these since they did cost more and I thought we would have the same results. My children say their food is still warm at lunch, sometimes even still hot where they have to blow it. I don't have to prewarm them with hot water. I just put in the food super hot in the morning (around 7am) and lunch is around 11:30am. So far, it's been leakproof. The only downside is to thoroughly clean the lid, you have to take the top compartment, rubber ring, and rubber stopper off to clean/dry. Very happy with this purchase. Great investment.EDIT: I originally gave it 5 stars, dropped it to 4 stars for now. Depending on if the food jar still works without the valve on the lid, I may drop another star. With multiple purchases, daily use, daily washing, being used by kids, it was a matter of time before the valve was either washed too often or will become loose and lost. We lost the valve in the sink somehow, looked to get replacement parts, thinking it would be $1-2 (even then, felt that was pricey for a rubber valve but willing to pay it anyways). One replacement valve is $6.70. To replace the lid was $9.75. If the food jar does not hold temp without the valve, which I suspect it probably won't, I may test out the Hydroflask food jar. Same price jar with excellent reviews.

Zojirushi products are amazing! Your food will maintain its temperature--hot or cold--for hours. A few years ago, I bought one for my grandson who is not a sandwich eater. He loves it! In fact, despite the fact that it still looked great after daily use, I recently bought this one for him. It's a bit larger than the first one. Whether you prefer a hot lunch or something cold like a salad, you need this. You will be extremely pleased with it. They also have an insulated thermos for beverages, which I have given as gifts. The recipients are thrilled with them. They're not only functional, but they're extremely attractive and the colors are beautiful.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016
Size: 11.8 ozColor: Aqua BlueVerified Purchase
EDIT: the review below was written in 2016. After our stupid mistakes, I ordered another one. This one lasted until yesterday (this is the end of Sept 2022) when the gasket came loose and was eaten by the garbage disposal as I drained the sink. D’oh! I have a Thermos jar that’s almost as good as this, and two HydroFlask food jars that pale badly in comparison. If I put food in this when it’s too hot to eat, it’s still going to be too hot to eat five hours later. The Thermos (14oz) will have cooled slightly but not below food safety standards. The HydroFlasks though… eek. I wouldn’t eat anything from them after 3, *maybe* 4 hours. They just can’t keep it hot enough. This jar is amazing. We have the 11.5oz size and find it to be the perfect size when your hot food isn’t the only item in your lunch. (Daughter likes soup now, and this has never leaked, and we’ve never gotten a hole in the release valve again either). You can also pre-chill this (fridge or freezer, or fill it with ice) and use it to keep things cold. Just like with hot food though, the fuller you fill it, the better it performs. Since this size is a bit large for fruit salad or applesauce though, I’m ordering the smaller, 9oz jar now too.

——

My daughter used this for about a year and a half. No chipping paint (no dishwasher either). She doesn't do soup, but takes pasta, chicken nuggets, peirogies, or leftover Chinese food to school, and says it stays hot (well, the nuggets, since there's more air in the container, are "warm" rather than piping hot, but she doesn't care). I pack her lunch at 7:45, and she eats at 1:00. My ONE complaint -- watch the video that shows you how to release the pressure seal. They say "use a toothpick." My daughter managed to poke a hole THROUGH the rubber, which we discovered the ONE time she took something liquidy to school in this. So, I'm not sure how long it took for the hole to form, but it's there now. And then I decided that I should really try to give the rubber o-ring / gasket thing a good cleaning, and somehow got it twisted up and couldn't get the lid to fit back on the jar. D'oh! So, don't mess with the seal, and don't poke the release valve with a really sharp toothpick, and you'll be fine.

Love the design, it keeps the food warm. Finally can enjoy warm food in office!
Easy to open thanks to the spots on the lid, even if there was pressure there's a solution to open the box.
Just one star less because I am super careful but still in the bottom the plastic got a crack. So bottom plastic might not be good quality.
