Keeps hot stuff hot for hours
This particular Nissan model keeps cold stuff cold and hot stuff hot for *hours* (which is great if you like to drink your coffee or cocoa slowly over the course of a long meetig or classroom seminar), the plastic rim protects your lips from scalding when you go to drink hot liquids, and the narrow body with the rubber grip makes it easy to hold, even for very small hands. I also like the non-spill lever (note it is NOT a handle, and don't try to hold the cup by the lever!) and it keeps the liquid in the mug for all but the most extreme upturns.
The one downside to this model is keeping it clean--I find I have to wrestle it a bit to clean it. The narrow body sometimes poses a challenge for handwashing, and I usually soak the mouthpiece overnight in soapy water. You do have to pull the white ring out to get it really clean. But, franklyu, most of the commuter mugs require special handling to reduce bacteria build-up. All in all, I think it is a good buy. I've enjoyed drinking my daily coffee out of this model for years.
 Don't waste your money
This mug is not worth $5 much less the current price listed. It insulates well, but not noticeably better than more commonly available mugs. I was expecting the mug's lever to make a leak-free seal. However, I've found that it only resists leaks when *slightly* jostled. If you hold it upside-down, a steady-stream of liquid emerges for several seconds-it does stop, but the stream will return after righting the mug and re-tipping. Coffee leaves a distinct smell even after hand-washing. So, if you are looking for a mug that doesn't leak and can be washed in the dishwasher, continue looking!
 Simple mod takes this tumbler beyond "Ultimate"
This is a great tumbler. I love it's sturdy construction and how it seals in warmth for so long. My only gripe is that it is a little bit too small for me. The solution is to put the top from this tumbler on a "Nissan 18-Ounce Stainless-Steel Insulated Travel Tumbler"! These two have the same size threaded tops! Then you can have an 18-ounce tumbler with the "Ultimate"-style spill-proof spring lever top.
