Mrs Sevaron reviewing since I'm the one using the mug. I just received it the afternoon of 2/17/17, so only a few days of use, but it works wonderfully. I ordered this because of giving my less-than-6-months-old Dell notebook a bath when I lost my grip while picking up a glass of water. I drink mostly water throughout the day, and spend a great deal of time at my desk, so there's almost always a glass of water sitting here. While my notebook was at Dell being repaired, my husband came across a video review by Lew from Unbox Therapy and he showed it to me. So I Googled Mighty Mug and reviews, plus read all the reviews posted here on Amazon, and decided to order it.
Upon receiving it, it got filed with water and tested on the kitchen counter, my desk, and my husband's desk. We didn't hit it hard, but hard enough to simulate an accidental knock as might occur as it sits on a desk. It held beautifully. Very small curve in learning how to pick it up, and with frequent use, you learn it quickly. I have NOT used it with ice or any sort of cold beverage yet as I prefer room temp water and the weather hasn't been hot enough for me to want cold drinks, so I can't speak about condensation, but the construction appears that it will at least limit, if not outright prevent, it.
Only real downside for me is that I have small hands, so I must pick it up near the bottom where the diameter is smaller. A minor downside is that extra lids and straws are not sold separately (hint, hint).
If, in the future, my opinion changes, I will update my review.
3/22/17 Update: After using this mug for a month, I'm still very pleased with it. I periodically test it's holding power and have discovered a few things. One, it works best on a solid smooth surface. Don't use it on cloth, a surface with gaps of any sort (like a patio table), or an uneven surface. Two, periodically check the bottom for particulates. Think fine dry crumbs (like from cookies), sawdust, sugar, salt. I was perplexed when my mug wasn't holding like it should on my desk. I checked the bottom and yep, there was sugar or salt. I wiped the bottom off and all was good again. I have gotten into the habit of checking the bottom whenever I have removed it from my desk (refilling or when I'm going to be in the kitchen for awhile). I don't take this in the car even though it fits the cup holders just fine. The problem is that with its size, it can get in the way. I also have more difficulty pick it up since I can only grab it from the top. All in all, this is a great mug and I highly recommend it. Just be aware that if you do manage to knock it over or drop it, it will release water through the open area around the straw although the amount is nowhere near what it would be from a regular glass.
I bought one of these at Christmas last year because I have a dog that can clear the coffee table with her tail. These mugs are fantastic I have now bought one in every color.
Update on my previous review........The straws on all 3 mugs I have bought have mold growing inside them
Great mug, keeps drinks cold for a decent period of time, main reason for the purchase of this mug was due to a boat trip and this thing never let me down. Thru rough waters this cup was still standing... Its not a yeti mug by no standards but it will get the job done and not fall over.. This is my current day to day cup. Only reason I give it 4 stars is due to the suction cup bottom getting dirty it is more prone to tipping over. So kinda got to be mindful where your setting it and how dirty the surface is.
I got my mug two days ago and I am more than impressed, My main concern was size--I was afraid it would be smaller than it seems (I know its ounces are listed but you know that doesn't always translate into a practical size), For the 16 oz. I purchased it easily holds a fair amount of ice and an entire can of soda. I do not drink tea or coffee so I can't help you there. All in all, it isn't going anywhere. I have tested it and it works as intended. I work with sensitive and sometimes confidential information--I can't have drink spills on my desk or keyboard. I've had one good drink spill at my desk and it was not good. Also, I have had one of these trendy, huge mugs for months and they are not meant for the office. I would recommend this product over them--plus it's not nearly as expensive.

About Mighty Mug:
Mighty Mug was developed by a team of mechanical engineers and industrial designers who spent 3 years perfecting Mighty Mug and it's patented Smartgrip technology. Not to be confused with a magnet or suction, Mighty Mug’s Smartgrip at the bottom of the cup creates a vacuum that airlocks the mug onto the cup’s surface - effectively preventing it from being knocked over. The vacuum is released instantly when the mug is lifted straight up requiring no extra effort.
This mug is truly amazing. I have to say that I was a bit skeptical and would look around for videos to see if this product was legit to what it claimed, but after seeing it in real life and testing it, it is amazing!!
I bought this as a gift for my brother, a photographer who is always at a desk around expensive computers, editing equipment, and camera equipment, so this is of great use. He absolutely loves it and is always sending videos of him playing around by trying to swat it. Super credible product and I will for sure be ordering a different model as well.
It definitely doesn’t tip over, which is great. I bought it to be used next to a laptop. That is the only thing I’d buy it for though, because the design is unexciting. Something about the way it looks makes it look cheap. Aside from the cool untippable function, it looks like you got it from the dollar store.
This is a great mug. I like that I can't knock it over - and you really can't. It's not particularly great at keeping anything warm or cold, but it doesn't sweat, and it has a good seal at the lid.
Unfortunately, the lid can be a pain to get on an off and the straw that's provided is really crappy material.
I would recommend this if you are a klutz. It's worth it for a nice cup.
This is amazing. I got this on the strength of a YouTube reviewer raving about it, and everything he said is right: this cup will NOT tip over. Set it down on a solid surface, punch it, hit it -- it won't move. Yet you can pick it up easily. I showed it to my family, and now they all want one too, and I've ordered the regular tumblers, too. These are a must if you use a computer or if you have pets that love knocking things over.
I'm a very clumsy person, and wanted to wait a week until I made a review. Let's just say that I've limited myself to only closed liquid containers in my room because of...well...mishaps. The Mighty Mug was MADE FOR ME!!!! I do not know how I have lived without it. I use it for all my cold beverages and it has been a life saver. The only one thing I wish, is that the opening that the straw has was more snug around the straw. That way its as completely spill proof. Don't get me wrong, lots of electronics, clothes, paperwork and people have been spared the contents of my drinks since I've gotten this mug! I just would like for it to not splash when my clumsiness decides to make the liquid squirt out.
