1 X Medegen Roommates Pitcher Insulated W/Straw Translucent W/Granite and Handle 32 Oz - Model H206-01

I have ordered many water containers. This one is the BEST. It has an inner thermal container. Makes all the difference.

I've kept a quart mug handy for many years. Recently, I started to notice my old one was giving me a chemical taste with certain beverages, so I decided to look for a more modern, non-toxic quart mug. Found it!The 'Medegen Roommates Pitcher' is a nifty semi-transparent, double-walled, air-insulated mug, made of #5 food-grade polyproprylene, BPA-free. It's fairly well-made and well-designed, though could be improved a bit.Beware, this is not really "medical" hardware, and it's not a "pitcher." It's a MUG made by Whirley Drinkworks, model TM-32 (says so right on the bottom). Same people that make all those soft-drink and sports-branded mugs.$15 with "free" shipping is about right, considering a Whirley TM-32 retails at $6.52 and ~$5.50 usps priority mail and a box, so I'm not complaining.Pros:The ~1/8th-inch air-gap insulation is effective, and smaller than the bulbous styrene-filled other brands; doesn't sweat at all.The handle is generous for large handsThe top snaps on securely and works well (but see below)The semi-transparency is nice to see the level remainingThe graduations are nice if you monitor your fluids intake; also makes a handy 4-cup measure for the kitchenWell-made Whirley USA productNo nasty BPA or chemical leeching, flavor-neutral, even with strong/acidic/warm liquidsMinor Cons:Drinking hole is a D-shape that leaks around straw, should be roundSupplied corrugated straw sucks against the bottom, you need to slice it off at an angleThe lift tab on the edge of the top should be above the handle so you can pry it up with your thumb - they put it at 12-o'clock position where you have to use two hands, which results in a big shake and splash.No, it doesn't fit cup holders, but you shouldn't expect that in a quart mug.To-Do:Rotate the top closedSnap on the top with the lift-ear above the handle where your thumb can deal with itDrill a 3/8" hole at the 6-o'clockInsert ~10" of 3/8" Tygon tubing (bottom cut 45 degrees)Now it'll be almost leak-free, and the top will be easy to remove.

The Medegan Roommates Insulated Pitcher is great for anyone who is looking for a large and convenient vessel for their cold beverages.I am currently 22 weeks pregnant and trying to make sure I drink plenty of water, which has been no easy task. Normal glasses only hold about 12-16 oz. of water, which means I am constantly refilling my glass. Plus, I have two large dogs who are constantly knocking things over and a cat who likes to "investigate" items resulting in floating cat hair in my water. Yuck! So, I started looking for an alternative to my usual glass. After much research, I purchased this pitcher from Amazon. Now, it's the only cup I use.ProsReasonable priceDouble-walled means no water rings on my furnitureDoesn't spill if it gets knocked over, the lid is easy (but not too easy) to pop off, & the lid prevents "stuff" from getting in my drinkInsulated so it stays cold for a reasonably long period of timeHandle makes it convenient to carryMeasurement lines -> Handy if you like to use drink mixes***Does not have that gross "plastic taste" that some plastic cups have***ConsToo big for my car's cup holder (however, it is sturdy enough that it does just fine on my passenger seat without tipping over)Color - kind of boring, would have liked optionsWish the lid made more of a "popping" sound when it is all the way on, there have been a few times when it wasn't quite on all the wayOverall, I am extremely happy with this pitcher. I am hoping to invest in a couple more in the future and foresee using this a lot when the baby finally gets here and I begin breastfeeding.

I got my first one during a hospital stay in 2021 and loved it. I kept it for almost 2 years before I decided it was time for a new one. This was the exact same high quality. I prefer my water at room temperature so I can't speak on how long it'll hold ice and keep your water cold, but it is perfect for me. I keep it on my nightstand too and know if it gets knocked over, the top will stay securely on!

Great!

***UPDATE*** I ordered two more of these for my in-laws because they loved mine so much! They sometimes have a hard time getting around and are in bed quite a lot. Since these pitchers are so large and keep beverages cool, they don't have to get out of bed as often. They also like the bendable straw. Great product for all ages!******************I received one of these Whirley Works pitchers the last time that I was in the hospital which was about 7 years ago. I've used it everyday since then. The top was finally getting a little loose and I had a couple of big spills because the lid wasn't staying on so it was time for a new one. This one is a slightly different design than my old one but it's perfect and exactly what I was looking for! I like how it holds 32 oz. so I can fill it up and work on the computer for hours before having to fill it up again. The top stays on very tightly and I like using the straw. One of my favorite things about it is the handle. It's so much easier to carry and I don't worry about it slipping out of my hand like other insulated cups. I also have cats so this keeps their nose out of my drink and I don't have to worry about them rubbing up against it and spilling it. It also shows the amount of ounces on both sides which is handy for mixing powdered shakes, etc. Since it's insulated, it keeps my drink cool until I'm ready for another one. I highly recommend these Whirley Works pitchers! They work great and last a long time!

The media could not be loaded. I wanted this for work (I work in a warehouse) and needed it to be stable enough to not tip over while I’m working. Mission accomplished.
