We have 2, the larger original and the smaller second generation. Many drawbacks. Heating off of the charging station doesn't last all that long. Cannot microwave for a jump start if things go cold. Capacity of the smaller model is at best a small cup of tea. Feel of the handle is thin and lacking in diameter such that it's prone to slipping from grip. Not dishwasher safe.
I bought this and returned it. I prefer my hot drinks at around 160F but if I remember correctly the max ember can do is about 145F. Also at the max temperature setting it only lasts a hour off the coaster/charger.
You're better off getting a nice insulated coffee cup with a lid

wife and i really enjoy this mug. luckily, found them pretty cheap on offerup. makes tea drinking easy and convenient. only drawback is the weight of the cup can trick you into thinking you have more of your drink leftover when you actually don't lol.
As someone who loves their Ember mug and would hate to live without it...
It has serious flaws and the mfgs don't seem to care about fixing them.
To me, you can have one or the other... horrible battery life or glacier slow charging speeds.
Ember has them both.
I am also pretty sure that it doesn't charge while on the charger if there is liquid in the mug, so you can't get ahead of the problem.
But when it works, it works perfectly. I like my coffee at 135 and it is that temp to the last drop (as long as it is charged).
But by my 3rd cup, without the coaster nearby, it is deader than a doornail and takes like 4 hours to recharge.
Lucky for me, I got it at a Target clearance for $60, I can't imagine paying the $120 msrp they are asking for it.

This is the "change the life" one. I am surprised why no one thought about this.
I have three now. I drink a lot more tea and coffee. You cannot overstate the value of your beverage temperature being same from first slip to last.
This is better $99 than many other similar fancy things.
