Does this particular model have the new lid design for easier cleaning??

All new mugs have the new lid, but saying that, it still can be difficult to clean and feel it is sanitized.

Yes, it should. I have had NONE of the issues prior reviewers had. It is very easy to clean, and I use it daily. It is just as good as the day I bought it.

I am commenting on the silver stainless steel model only. I ordered this mug 3 times over 4 years. The last one I ordered a year ago had the new design that is said to be easier to clean. So, you would probably get the new design. I will say that I never had an issue with the previous version b/c I only used this mug for tea in bags. Issues usually came when individuals used cream and other products that can cause mold, etc. I actually was happier with the older version b/c my tea bag string hung out of the cup with no leaking issues. I have found more leaking with the new top when my string hangs out. I couldn't comment on leaking w/o a bag string hanging out - I'm sure other reviews could help there. And, I'm sure the company doesn't recommend my use with the string out as well. Hope this helps.

The one I had did not. It was impossible to clean, trapped horrid goo inside that would come out in the first sip....YUK. Threw this item away.

Yes, but only as long as you don't actually use the cup for drinking liquids. I suggest keeping your spare change in the cup. Would not recommend dimes, as they might slip through the sipping hole.

The one I have that I purchased about a year ago does have the new easier to clean design. It is also a good idea to quickly rinse it out when finished and then properly wash it at home. When I get to work I take it into the bathroom and just run some water over the lid and rinse out the mug.

My old version did, that is why I went to the new model. The new model does not run the rubber tube through the spout any longer. I seemed to be deteriorating over time, so the new version corrects that problem.

Yes it does. It can be removed from the inside part of the lid strawer for cleaning.

No, it does not but it is easy to clean. I just use a regular cleaning brush.

I originally gave this re-modeled thermos a high rating. After a few weeks of daily use, I experienced leaks. The removable round disc does not always stay in place. On at least 5 occasions, I had coffee spills with large amount of coffee spilling in my pocketbooks & travel bags. Even when double checking that the disc was in place, at unpredictable times I found the disc laying at the bottom of the thermos. With the disc not in place, it explained why the coffee was spilling all over. Yes, the new model is easier to clean but I loved the older version which I used for years with no problem.

No, it has groves and screws off the end, giving it ease in cleaning. Hope this helps.

Not sure what BPA is, not sure I care? The easy clean lid is a nice new feature, but in my search for my purchase, this feature was generally a bit more pricey. I thought that feature was worth the extra cost, and after using mine for a several months, I am convinced I made the right choice. The old lids where real tough to clean, and sometimes developed some funky goo under the flapper seal that was hard to see and almost impossible to clean adequately.

It does not. There is a rubber seal around the edge of the lid. Hope this helps!

Oh strange, I own the older version, (I think the model before this one) and it has a removable cover, like a pillow case. So it made it super easy to clean up any messes/spit up. Bummer this newer version doesn't have the removable cover (bet that's now "sold separately"). I still bought this one for my friend, to me it is a MUST have baby item. I just recommend covering it with another blanket/towel to help keep clean up easier. I wish they'd bring back the removable cover.

No. It is a push-in style lid. The seal (on mine anyway) is quite good, though.

Yes it does. I just open it up and soak mine in hot soapy water. I have also ran them through the dishwasher and they come out clean. They are so much easier than the older version that I was using toothpicks and a toothbrush trying to get all the goo out from under the center mechanism. Hope this helps

No - I have two and have been very pleased. The lid is a "stretch to fit" silicon lid than seals quite well.

No! The lid comes completely apart for cleaning and use a bottle brush for the bottle.

no it did not and we have not missed having a lid. this thing is deceptively impressive in what it can do. works very very well!
1959004
Yes it does. It's just flimsier plastic than I expected. If you over-tighten it just a little sometimes it takes brute strength to unscrew the lid.

No. But, It opens wide to allow for easy cleaning. This should not be a problem. We have been using ours every day for over six months and it still looks like new inside and out. But, then again, we use RO water.

No Buildup! The new one has a different mechanism to attach the brush head to the base. It eliminates the rattle noise that some heads would give on the older model and it also eliminates all the gunk that builds up under the head's plastic base. I never remove the head for this brush until it is time for replacement and even after several months of daily use there is nothing to clean between heads.
