Oxo Good Grips Travel Mug
Good, but not dishwasher safe...didn't realize it when I purchased it. If you put it in the dishwasher, it retains water inside the lid and the cup itself and sloshes around...hand wash this only!

Trapped Water Lid Design Flaw: How to fix yourself
The OXO mug was my favorite mug for years, until I bought a new one. Before buying, I saw the reviews about the lid retaining trapped water, but didn't understand because my old ones never had any problems. So, I got my new OXO mugs. Sure enough, the new ones retained water inside the lid AND you can't get it out! it's locked inside the lid itself. Under the lid I saw a "wash by hand" notice implying that the dishwaher "forced" that water into the lid. Oddly, I always put my old ones in the dishwasher with no problems! Clearly, OXO changed the manufacturing of their lids, because the new lids are definitly not the same as the old lids; they don't even properly line up when screwed tight. Anyway, if you want to keep the lids and get rid of that trapped water in the lid, here's how you do it: drill two small holes on the side of the lid about one inch apart. The side of the lid you would do this is the air vent side; the opposite side of where you drink from. Be careful not to push the drill bit too far in when drilling. Once you break the surface, that's enough. This will allow you to drain that trapped water inside. It does not seem to affect the functionality of the lid and does not spill. And wash by hand.

Fatal flaw
I will confirm what many others have said here; if there's a way to clean the lid, I don't know about it. Nothing I have tried works. I bought this as a gift for hubby over a year ago and it worked great until the build-up of scum inside the lid made it unbearable to drink from after a few months. I tried soaking it in boiling water with dish soap and other things suggested in the reviews here, I even stuck it in the dishwasher several times, against the directions it came with because I was so frustrated with it. To no avail. If you have found a way to clean the lid and have been able to use this mug for more than a few months, I am happy for you, but it has not worked out for us.

You will be sorry
At first it is great, the best you ever owned. Coffee will really stay hot for hours and it is hard to spill a drop.
But as you get down to that last sip you will find that youhave to tip the mug so far up that you are no longer able to see the road. Ok, so save the last sip for when you are stopped.
And when stopped you had better CLEAN the mug. Not later, not back at home, but ASAP.
It really cannot be cleaned at all inside that wonderful top that prevents leaks. Whatever you drink will build up a smelly, thick, residue that will ruin anything you dare drink from this mug.

Aside from the potenital germs and mold will develop it will ruin the taste of good coffee or tea.
It is slick, and handy, and easy to use. It will keep drinks hot for hours.
But the risk of illness as well as the ruined taste makes this mug a bad buy.

Works as advertised, can't clean lid
I have had this mug for a couple of months now and it works as advertised, keeps liquids warm, doesn't leak, but the major design flaw with this product is that you cannot properly clean the inside of the lid. The lid does not disassemble and as such residue builds up on the inside since you cannot scrub it. What you are left with is over time a film builds up and slowly releases itself into your drink as you take sips of your beverage of choice. For this reason I would not recommend this product.
