Ember Mug 2 vs Ember Mug 3 (14 oz)

The Ember Mug 3 is the better buy for most people. It adds on-mug temperature controls, a sliding lid that stretches battery life past three hours, and top-rack dishwasher cleaning, none of which the Mug 2 has. The Mug 2 still keeps drinks hot and costs less, but owners report charging failures, peeling coatings and short lifespans, and the Mug 3 carries the same durability risk with a smaller track record. Buy the Mug 3 unless you already own a Mug 2, since the upgrade is not seen as worth it.

• Choose the Ember Mug 2 if you want the proven smart mug and do not need a lid, on-mug controls or dishwasher cleaning.
• Choose the Ember Mug 3 if you want dishwasher cleaning, a lid for longer battery life and temperature control without reaching for your phone.
