The only thing I dislike about the Stanley Aladdins is their weight.
Thermos is a bit lighter, I think Nissan is lighter still.
The Thermos Thermocafe line is about as light as the Nissan.

Since I have a few of these stainless steel thermoses in the kitchen I just did a comparison on the kitchen scale.

Sorry that I don't have a one liter size Stanley. Oh well,
These are close enough to compare.
They all have their stoppers in them but no cups on them.

Stanley, wide mouth, 741 ml size = 2 lbs.
Themos, 1 liter, NATO issue = 1 lbs. 6 oz.
Thermos, 1iter, Thermocafe = 1 lbs.


The 500ml Thermocafe weighs in at 9oz, this is a pretty small thermos

The 2 liter Stanley is 3 lbs. 8oz, this is a pretty big thermos.


So with the Stanley widemouth you carry twice as heavy of a thermos as the Thermocafe but you only get 3/4 of the liquid.
I would expect the one liter Stanly to wiegh about the same as the widemouth Stanley does.

Are the Stanleys less likely to get dented?
Well yes, but only because they are built like tanks.

The Stanleys are fine if they are going in a vehicle, but If I needed to carry one I would take the Thermos or the Thermos Thermocafe.
