Know before you buy
The primary difference is the capacity. The SM-VS83 holds 28 ounces, while the SM-VS95 holds 32 ounces. Both models share the same design features and insulation performance.
Yes. The lid features a secure safety lock that prevents the one-touch button from being pressed accidentally, ensuring the mug remains sealed and leak-proof during travel.
No, this mug is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the vacuum insulation and the finish, we recommend hand-washing the components with mild dish soap.
The double-wall vacuum insulation is designed to keep beverages hot for up to 10 hours. For the best results, we recommend pre-heating the mug with hot water before filling it with your drink.
While the design is sleek and compact, the diameter of these larger 28 oz and 32 oz models may be too wide for some standard car cup holders. It is best to measure your cup holder if this is a primary requirement for your commute.
Zojirushi generally recommends avoiding carbonated drinks, as the pressure buildup can cause leaks or damage the lid. Dairy should be consumed promptly and not left in the mug for extended periods to prevent spoilage.
