Zojirushi SM-SA36BA
Score: 70/100
Contigo Superior 2.0 Travel Mug
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Contigo Superior 2.0 20 oz mug features an integrated handle and a SNAPSEAL one-piece lid, delivering 7 hours of hot-drink retention and 18 hours cold. However, the handle may detach and the body requires hand-washing, limiting convenience. Best suited for travelers who need a sturdy handle and leak-proof operation.
The Zojirushi SM-SA36BA 12 oz mug combines vacuum insulation with a leak-proof flip-open safety-lock lid in an ultra-lightweight stainless-steel body. Its main limitation is the lack of published temperature-retention data and a relatively small capacity. Best for commuters and office workers who prioritize portability and spill protection.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers and editors emphasize the Contigo Superior 2.0's reliable THERMALOCK insulation, leak-proof one-handed SNAPSEAL lid, and integrated handle as key advantages for commuters. While the product is praised for its durability and convenience, experts note limited independent testing and rely mainly on manufacturer claims.
Everyday users generally love the mug's temperature retention, spill-proof design, and comfortable handle, especially for coffee on the road. Recurring complaints focus on the handle detaching, occasional heat-retention shortfalls, and confusion over varying listed dimensions.
