How can you tell when the vacuum has failed?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I wash them in the dishwasher. One got water inside the vacuum gap.

I guess that's why hydro flask is pleading with me to hand wash my bottle with all those stickers

In seriousness I've never seen a steel vaccuum water bottle advertise as being dishwasher safe, I just assumed it's one of those things I have to suck it up for like knives? How long do the bottles last in the dishwasher Lol

The one that failed had been machine washed every day for about 5 years. The rest are still fine.

The only reason they say they aren't dishwasher safe is any colored paint will peel off. After the first round of peeled paint 5 years ago, I only buy plain stainless. I put water proof stickers on them for the kids.

Thanks! I like the green on my hydro flask so I'll continue to baby it, but really good to know.

It won't keep stuff hot/cold for nearly as long as it did new.
