More recently, the new Biostal thermos appeared on the market and immediately won a lot of fans. Its secret lies in an affordable price and relatively good quality. But here there are some nuances reflecting the peculiarity of their production.
From China through Russia
Many are interested in where the Biostal thermos comes from. Its manufacturer is not specifically defined. It is known that they are manufactured at several factories in China. This brand is ordered by its official importer in Russia.
According to sellers, although these thermoses are made in China, they fully comply with the quality requirements of Russian standards. Inspections are carried out at different stages of production. The last one is at the finished goods warehouse of the importing company.
Despite the strictest controls, at times the reject rate reaches 20%, although 7% is considered normal. With such a low quality product, it is likely that defective Biostal thermoses also go on sale. Customer reviews repeatedly focus on this.
Therefore, before buying, there is a reason to carefully study the product and ask if there is an opportunity for exchange in the event of a marriage.
Product Design Features
Everyone knows that thermoses are built on the principle of maximum isolation of thermal radiation from the outside world. Previously, this effect was achieved through the use of glass, which conducts heat poorly, a vacuum bulb, which reduces the conductivity of energy and a double layer of amalgam, which reflects all thermal rays.
But with this design, any thermos becomes completely impractical. Biostal uses well-polished stainless steel as the material for the flask. Therefore, these products are not afraid of falls and bumps. At the same time, thermal insulation performance is slightly reduced. But for domestic conditions this is quite enough.
There are Biostal thermoses on sale, reviews of which are sometimes contradictory. These are products of various designs and purposes. Among them, various price categories are also distinguished, which depend on the quality and characteristics of the thermos itself. Therefore, buyers always have a choice whether they are willing to pay more for the best product, or whether they are satisfied with the low price and the same quality.
Additional amenities
To improve the comfort of using thermoses, manufacturers have added additional features to some models. The containers intended for drinks have a convenient stopper with a push-button lock system, which allows not to remove the stopper every time you need to pour water. Thermos “Biostal-Sport” has an extra cup so that two people can enjoy the drink at once.
Almost every model has a special case designed to store a thermos in it and facilitate transportation. If this cover does not exist, then a rubber coating is applied to the surface of the vessel to prevent slipping in the hand and a convenient carrying handle is provided.
This brand has thermoses for food. They have a wide neck that allows you to fill in soups or place small containers with denser contents. But all these features have relative advantages, as buyers often leave negative feedback about them.
Premium Products
We start the review with the most expensive products that Biostal offers. Thermos, customer reviews about which is the best, in the price category is significantly higher than its counterparts. And all because it is made using the latest technology. This fact is most often noted by grateful users.
As a rule, the vacuum space in most thermoses is only in the plane of the products themselves. Around the neck do not. Due to this drawback, heat transfer increases significantly. To avoid this, in the Biostal-Auto series, a technology was invented by which absolutely the entire plane of the walls and flask is in contact with vacuum. Thanks to this innovation, the time significantly increases when the temperature inside remains at fixed values.
Thermoses of this class also use more expensive and impact-resistant steel. It not only meets the highest sanitary standards, but also has enhanced thermal insulation characteristics. For this reason, the thermos has a fairly large demand in the market.
Sports series
As you know, all products from the sports category must meet increased indicators of durability and ease of use. One of them rightfully belongs to the Biostal-Sport thermos. Reviews about him say that this is one of the best options in its price category. which perfectly holds both heat and cold.
This type of thermos is used, as a rule, in sports tourism. This is just the case when it is important to maintain heat not for an hour or two, but for a time close to 24 hours. At the same time, it is good if the thermos does not begin to give off heat after a small amount of contents has been poured out of it.
Products of this series correspond to all these requirements. In addition, from above they are covered with high-quality wear-resistant varnish, which does not allow fingers and other exposed parts of the body to freeze to steel if a thermos needs to be used outdoors in the cold.
Like the “Auto” series, “Sport” belongs to premium thermoses, therefore their cost is expressed by rather high rates. Practice shows that expensive products of this trademark last much longer than products of a cheaper price category.
Thermoses for daily use
To take food to work or give a child a full meal at school, the usual Biostal thermoses are also quite suitable. Customer reviews about them say that they keep the temperature stable for 3-4 hours, and then gradually begin to give it away.
Such a time period is enough to eat your lunch warm. The “Biostal NG-1000-1 1l” model is best suited for these purposes. This volume is enough to drink a few people or feed soup to two or three work colleagues. This is a fairly versatile series. It has thermoses with a narrow and wide neck. Therefore, in a thermos you can take with you both soups and delicious cereals.
For ease of transportation, the series is equipped with a handle and small rubber inserts along the body. Another advantage of thermoses is a rather voluminous cup that allows you to savor a hot drink for a long time.
Thermoses for hunting
Hunters have to spend a long time outdoors. At the same time, the hunting season often falls on autumn-winter, when frost significantly affects overall well-being. To keep warm and keep up, hunters should always have hot tea at hand.
It was for these purposes that the Hunt series was created. Thermoses have high thermal insulation rates. It also uses technology in which the entire space between the flasks is filled with vacuum.
To make the thermos easy to carry, it has a camouflage case with a belt that can be worn on the shoulder or fastened to a belt or backpack.
Reviews of hunters about this series are mostly positive. Thermoses have a long service life and save heat well. That part of the negative impressions that buyers experience is mainly related to defective products, which do not keep the temperature at all the first time. If such a nuisance happens, you should immediately contact the store for a replacement.
Universal heat-insulating containers
Universal thermoses “Biostal” are also in great demand. Reviews about them are positive due to ease of use.
Remember how many times you regretted that you can’t put ice cream or hot cereal in ordinary thermoses? And if it succeeds, then removing them from the tank turns into a global problem. Importers and manufacturers of the Biostal brand took this trouble into account and developed universal containers that have the same thermal insulation qualities as thermoses.
Their main feature is that they have a very wide neck, through which it is convenient to put special vessels inside. Therefore, getting any food out of a thermos is now easier than ever.
By the way, special ships are included. Their size and volume are slightly different from each other, which allows you to load inside the thermos from one to three vessels.
Better than regular Chinese thermos
Today, products from China almost completely occupied the consumer market. These are cheap products. At the same time, their quality is much lower than the requirements for it. Fortunately, the Biostal thermos is knocked out of this annoying fact. Its production is controlled at each stage, and the percentage of rejects is relatively low. The price remains quite affordable.
Customer reviews of this brand also indicate that, for the most part, thermoses meet their price range. Therefore, if it is not possible to purchase a proven European-made product, then it is better to give preference to this Chinese product. As practice has shown, its operational characteristics deserve the attention of consumers.
