Thermoses "Arktika": varieties and tips for choosing

Thermos is an important accessory for any person. Thanks to a thermos, you can drink hot tea or coffee in winter on a bench without worrying about keeping warm: a thermos keeps high temperatures for a long time. Arktika has been producing thermoses since 2008, and during this time they have managed to achieve success in this business. The review below will help you figure out which thermos is suitable for this or that person and why the Arktika company is good.

The manufacturer produces a huge range of products. Thermoses of this company are produced, focusing on the needs of customers. They will be able to please even the most fastidious traveler or hunter, starting from color schemes and ending with the volume of the model. The lineup consists of both large thermoses for joint trips (from two liters), and for motorists, office workers and other categories of people, such products can be 500 ml in capacity.

But each product has pros and cons, it is guided by this information that the buyer makes his choice.

The advantages of this product include the following.

• Appearance. Looking at any model, you might think that it is a prestigious and expensive accessory. In fact, along with the high quality of products, the manufacturer did not raise prices, and they remain at an affordable level for all buyers.
• Ease of use. Each model has its own distinctive features that make it convenient to use (for example, thermoses for travelers have a minimum weight and size so as not to waste a lot of space in a backpack). This approach satisfies all the needs of the consumer, providing him with comfort when using a thermos.

The disadvantages include negative reviews about some models of thermoses, which for some reason did not suit buyers.

• In a liter model with a wide neck, after three days of operation, the plastic bottom came off. This means a product defect, from which not a single product is protected, however, such cases sometimes occur specifically with models per liter of liquid.
• Assembly in some individual cases leaves much to be desired. From negative reviews, you can find out that some people notice poorly fixed parts after purchase, which is why the overall design does not inspire confidence: a thermos with a loose lid can easily leak. But such cases are rare, and dozens of positive reviews cover the marriage of some models.

A wide range of products does not allow considering all options for heat-resistant containers. In the company's product catalog you can find models with an air pump and buttons for pouring liquid, with narrow and wide necks, with different colors (green, pink, etc.).

Therefore, for detailed consideration selected three different models that differ from each other in many characteristics.

Outwardly, it stands out among other models with a dark color and a “splintered” design: most of the surface is covered with hammer enamel.

Main characteristics:

• volume - 1 liter;
• weight - 800 grams;
• height - 325 mm;
• the time during which the thermos will keep warm is 36 hours.

This type has its own advantages.

• Arctic Harsh Test Passed! To test and verify the capabilities of the thermos, it was used during a 5-kilometer hiking route, thus overcoming the Laptev Sea and the mouth of the Lena River. Such a statement from the manufacturer seems like a marketing ploy, but the fact that the thermos withstood all weather conditions during the route speaks in favor of its design.
• Hammer enamel not only serves as a decoration, but also protects the accessory from bumps and falls. The structure of the enamel will not allow the thermos to get serious damage.

There are also disadvantages to this option. At first glance, the handle seems comfortable: a solid plastic alloy that cannot be folded. This has a positive effect on the brutal design, but it is completely impractical. The handle will take up extra space in the bag.

It is considered one of the most practical options for all occasions.

Main characteristics:

• volume - 1 liter;
• weight - 670 grams;
• height - 230 mm;
• the time during which the thermos will keep warm is 20 hours.

The advantages of a thermos are as follows.

• Multitasking. If you need a thermos for soup or hot dishes, but sometimes for drinks, and there is no desire to purchase two thermoses, then the solution to the problem may be to purchase a universal option that will perform both tasks.Its characteristics are suitable both for keeping drinks warm and for keeping food warm.
• Two large cups. You can drink hot tea with a friend without worrying about the second mug, because the thermos includes two containers.
• Detachable strap is a positive addition, because if necessary, it can be replaced or not used at all.

The disadvantages include the following nuances.

• The model, although universal, has a minimum size and dimensions. For this reason, the container is not suitable for long hikes or travel.
• 20 hours of heat retention is not too high a figure compared to more resistant models.

For those who need to eat well at work or while traveling, there is a solution - a vessel version, which contains three containers for food.

Main characteristics:

• volume - 1.5 liters;
• weight - 1070 g;
• height - 255 mm.

Among the advantages, it is worth noting the following points.

• three containers, of which two are small and one is larger - the dream of an office worker. After the purchase, you don’t have to choose - take the soup with you for lunch or buckwheat with meatballs, you can take both dishes, and even put a piece of the pie in the third container! The containers are made of plastic, which can be heated in microwave ovens.
• To all other, the kit is not limited to three containers: Plus, the user gets two forks and a spoon in a practical case.

Biostal is also known for producing thermos flasks for people ranging from office workers to rugged travelers.There is no need to talk about the clear advantages of the company in comparison with the Arktika, because in general, they show equally good product quality.

Before you start choosing a heat-resistant container, you should decide on your goals: what it will be used for, what volume and design you need. After that, you can proceed to the purchase, in the process of which you need to take into account some of the nuances.

1. Weed out unnecessary options (if the buyer wants a food thermos, you should skip options exclusively for liquids).
2. Models should be checked for external defects outside and inside the structure.
3. Check plugs and caps for tightness.
4. Check for smell: if after unscrewing the cork inside the thermos there is a smell of plastic or steel, it is better not to purchase such a product.
5. Immediately after purchase, it is advisable to check the accessory by pouring boiling water into it. If after an hour the liquid loses a lot of temperature or other malfunctions are observed, it must be returned to the store immediately.

In general, Arktika products get 4 stars out of 5 on review sites. And this means that the products satisfy users with quality. Consumers note their strength, they are convenient on the road and travel, keep food warm for a long time, and drinks hot. If you use the product correctly, it will last a long time.
