Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great mug, but... This mug has performed very well for the past year. It's easy to use and keeps coffee hot for s long time. However, (here it comes) I'm having the very same problem with the lid that so many other reviewers are reporting. The thumb button mechanism no longer opens the drinking holes. It seems to have worn out. I agree that it seems like a design flaw or quality problem. I'm very happy with my Contigo products overall, but they have to do better than this. Too bad, too, because I love the style and ease of use for this mug. Also, I can find no replacement lids for this model. If the lids are failing at this rate, they should at least offer lids.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Sherilyn from I loved it but... I thought this was the best mug ever. But after less than a year it's pretty much useless. I'm having the same problem as so many others, pushing the button on the handle no longer opens the drinking holes enough to allow any liquid to come out. I'm rather ticked off that there are reviews on here that are at least a couple of years old & that this obvious design flaw hasn't been fixed yet!! Considering the cost of this mug & that the lid has been designed to fail after a relatively short amount of time you'd think that replacement lids would be available, but no. I guess they think we'll just keep shelling out $$ to keep buying new.

Rated 1 out of 5 by George G from Ruined a great design I have bought 4 if the randolph handles autoseal. They are really good design. Keep them at different houses. They are working fine after several years but I lost one recently and could not find anything but this new one and ordered based on.past experience with contgo. It is an awful design. The handle is the opposite of ergonomic. The trigger which is big and clunky and not protected is harder to push. The cap design is just brain dead. A large bridge runs down middle and hits nose so you can't drink from it without tilting head completely back. What were you thinking? Bring back the randolph. Untik then i am done with contigo

Rated 5 out of 5 by amhy01 from A must have!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This particular handle is very comfortable to hold with a nice rubbery grip. The button to push down to release your beverage is comfortable and seems to be placed at a natural height. I love that you can drink out of either side of the lid. So, if you grab the mug with your left hand, you can bring it right up to your mouth and take a sip. Same with grabbing it from your right side. You don't have to turn the mug around or find the hole to take a sip. The black finish is very nice. It does not seem to attract smudges or fingerprints. The handle is attached to the lid, which makes for easy cleaning.

Rated 1 out of 5 by JMI UK from Great Drininkg Vessel - but serious design flaw I have also experienced this same problem that many other reviewers have reported. I have used this mug for a year or so and now the button no longer operates correctly and so the levers do not release the liquid from the lid.The whole 'Autoseal' device is so very clever - and no one else produces a drinking vessel anywhere near as good. However, this design flaw leaves me disappointed after such a short time in use. It seems all I have now is an expensive thermos flask. Is there any possibility of a replacement lid at least? I really hope you can fix the design issue, rather than drop this line altogether.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lindysue from great mugs except for the lid design The lid does great in disallowing spills; coffee is always warm. the only design flaw is in the mechanism that is engaged by the handle to depress the two knobs to allow the drink holes to open. that mechansim weakend over time, eg within a year. Both my husband and I have this exact mug and both have failed within the last two weeks. The ammount of fluid starts to only come out in a dribble and eventually stops flowing altogether. Overall, we love Contigo but this flaw is evident on this style of mug and one other that we have had in the past. I have half a dozen great mugs with non-working lids.

Rated 4 out of 5 by _Brad_ from Works great but wears out too soon First, this is the best mug I've had. But then it wears down or starts to break too soon/easily. First it was fixing the plastic tab in the internal trigger mechanism that cracked (see my response to another post). I took the trigger mechanism apart again and it is NOT the plastic tab as I had reenforced it with plenty of two part epoxy. Now, several months later, something else is wearing down but I can't tell what and the trigger won't open the lid seals any more. I found that if I push the seal latch in about 3/16", the seals get "realigned" and they open quite well. To make this "permanent" I simply put a zip tie around the latch tab which "extended" the latch location. See pic. Would recommend with caveat. I think this is a problem with design and then quality.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mia87 from Handle seal does not work after a period of time ! If it were not for the handle seal always failing , this would be a perfect spill proof coffee mug. I have 2 coffee mugs sitting in the cabinet with 2 failed handles. Its very disappointing considering this is a great travel mug minus the handle! The handle seals/resistance mechanism needs to be reengineered to make this a worthy product. Really a disappointment when you find a great mug, then it doesn't work after a period of time. Contigo could have a home run winner with this mug if the handle seals were designed to last. I would not recommend it at this time until they redesign the handle issue
