I bought this thermos to keep hot water used for my new-born. Here is few of my opinions: + It works well. The pump makes it very easy and convenient to use. Cleaning is therefore not a big deal. So it is easy to carry around. The base is stable and safe. + Nonetheless, the boiled water kept in the thermos is hot for a few hours but not as long as advertised 12 hours. Anyway, it is therefore enough for normal use. All in all, this is a good product.
