I got my hands on a bestselling Stanley Quencher cup a year ago and I’ve used it near enough every day since. On a mission to drink more water, as a I was guilty of not hydrating as much as I should, the trusty tumbler was a game-changer. Now, with my Stanley cup, I drink at least one litre of liquid a day.
If you haven’t heard of the Stanley Quencher cup, it is essentially a reusable water bottle that holds a whopping 1.2L of liquid – thus reducing the number of times you have to refill and helping to increase your water intake. It also keeps your drink icy cold for 48 hours, a feature I find refreshing even during the cooler months.
The Stanley Quencher cup has sold out countless times since launching in the UK, but, it’s not the most affordable water bottle around coming in at £45. Stanley rarely has it on sale – in fact, in the year I’ve had mine I haven’t ever seen it deviate from full price. However, I’ve found a deal that means you can get the Stanley Quencher for as little as £28.49, reports the Mirror.
Customers who purchase the Stanley Quencher from Sports Direct via TopCashback will be rewarded with £15 cashback, reducing the total cost to £28.49 for new Sports Direct customers or £29.62 for existing ones. The process to claim is straightforward – new members can register on TopCashback using this link, buy the Stanley Quencher at Sports Direct, and wait for the cashback to be tracked and added to their account.
The primary function of the cup is to encourage users to drink more water with minimal effort – and it certainly achieved this for me. On the first day, I found myself sipping from the bottle while carrying out everyday tasks like working on my laptop or watching TV, without even realising it.
I believe this is likely due to the straw, which makes drinking effortless, and the fact that the cup holds 1.2L means I could meet my recommended water intake without having to refill it once, which was particularly handy during a workday. My beverage stayed incredibly cold all day after filling it with ice, and when left on my bedside table, it was still cold the next morning.
I noticed that smaller ice cubes melted after a few hours, but larger cubes maintained their shape for a significantly longer period. There’s no denying it, this cup is massive. Despite the ergonomic handle with comfort-grip inserts making it comfortable to carry, its sheer size makes it quite heavy when filled. It’s not the most practical for carrying on your commute as it takes up a fair bit of space in your bag, but if you’re working from home, the large capacity is a bonus.
If you’re after a Stanley Cup that’s easier to sip on the move, consider the Stanley IceFlow Flip White Travel Tumbler. It holds less water (890ml), but its leak-proof design and easy-to-hold handle make it ideal for travel. Plus, you can get a discount on it through TopCashback. New Argos customers can snap it up for £23.95 after receiving £15 cashback, while existing customers can get it for £25.66 after cashback.

Another reusable water bottle that can hold 1L of liquid is the £45 Ocean Bottle. Available in 11 stylish colours, you can even have your own text engraved on it for an extra £10. It’s also eco-friendly – for every bottle made, 1,000 plastic bottles are prevented from entering the ocean. You can also find reusable water bottles on Amazon – the iglu water bottle has a one-litre capacity and costs £28.50.
In other news from Stanley, the brand has recently launched a collaboration with Barbie. The Peaches ‘N’ Cream Quencher has sold out, but there are still eight other designs to choose from including ’80s Dynamite, Barbie Icon and 1959 Original.
