TEST RESULTS

Informative

Complete data not only on this model, but also on the entire range of products for everyday life of the manufacturer – Ashinskiy Metallurgical Works. The “RosTest” certification mark, the date of manufacture and the company’s quality control stamp, recommendations for use – all in place on the package leaflet. Stainless steel marking on the bottom of the product in the form of the stamp “NORTH”.

Heat preservation

The manufacturer has established the following standard: at room temperature boiling water cools to 56 ºC in 24 hours. Our “winter” test showed that the thermos was of good quality see the. table .

Hygienic

Inner surface of the flask is smooth, with one seam, without any roughness.

Taste and smell of the drinks: The manufacturer recommends not keeping drinks in the flask for more than 6 hours in order to avoid unpleasant smell, but as with all thermoses, we broke this rule during the test. Break it and you, it’s ok! The flask is well cleaned, the coffee does not smell like grass, and the tea is coffee.

Ergonomics

The overall impression of the test: ergonomics – not the strongest side of the model. Actually it’s obvious that they worked on this design, thought it through and tried to make it convenient. However, compared to the other contestants this thermos seems a bit clumsy and cumbersome, although it is very stable.

There are other strong points: the case has a black plastic frame with straight edges instead of rounded edges, which allows to put it horizontally for example, on the ground and not to be afraid that it will fall or roll. Handle is quite handy shape folds down and hides in these plastic parts.

Cork: the “weakest link”, but it is not weak in the literal sense of the word. It is quite tight, unscrewing and screwing is difficult, although it is threaded. Cap is double: the narrow one fits and screws into the wide one. This process is also difficult, I would like a smoother move.

But there is also a positive moment: to pour a drink from thermos no need to open stopper – it is enough to turn internal one on half-turn. Corks equipped with silicone rings for a snug fit.

Neck: wide outer edge 6.5 cm, inner edge 5 cm in diameter and narrow 3.5 cm .

Cup lid: steel on top, plastic inside, but the walls are not too thick. The cup with the biggest capacity in the test: 380 ml, i.e. enough for a “yes, with giblets” soup. A real man’s size!
