Stanley 17oz. Classic Vacuum Food Jar Decide Now

I bought three of these, one for tea, one for soup, and one extra. They sometimes work fine if you baby them, sometimes not if the gasket falls out as I explain below. The one for tea fell about a foot and a half out of my locker to the floor. Since that fall the unit is useless. I cannot hear anything rattling inside, but the vacuum seal is certainly broken. If something is going to break that easily, as other reviewers have also complained, it should not be so highly priced. Also there is a white plastic gasket between the bottle and the lid. Often the gasket will fall out when the lid is screwed on. There is no way to check, but when it falls out into the liquid inside, the food loses heat fairly rapidly. I can get much less expensive vacuum bottles that will break just like this one so why should I pay more?Get more detail about Stanley 17oz. Classic Vacuum Food Jar.
