Thermos warranty for drinkware
The short version
Thermos covers drinkware in full for 5 years, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 16 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Thermos's published warranty, checked October 2026.
