HYDRO CELLStainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle with Straw - For Cold & Hot Drinks - Metal Vacuum Flask with Screw Cap and Modern Leakproof Sport Thermos for Adults (Black 40oz)

I have had this water bottle for over two years and I love it. I have carried this water bottle around with my EVERYWHERE. I like it so much that I bought one for my husband and best friend. You only want the best for those close to you, so you already know how good a product is if people are buying them for close ones. I was curious how there could be one star reviews on this, so when I looked, I saw it was mostly due to the non-steel lid and ice melting. I don't use the non-steel lid with the straw (I thoroughly enjoy having my lid strapped to my bottle, and being able to hold on to it, so I only use the steel lid with the rubber part that connects to my water bottle. Plus, I am thankful for the steel lid because I try not to drink out of plastic. Thus, I cannot speak to the other lid if that is something you are looking for.). Secondly, in terms of ice melting - yes, it does melt. HOWEVER, your water is kept cold for hours (I have never had it where I had ice/my water at a cool temperature and it EVER warming up.)!This is a great water bottle, and it is at a price point where you feel comfortable in investing in it. Having it for 2+ years, and filling it up 2-3 times a day (32 ounces), I have received AT LEAST 1,825 uses out of it (2 years X 2.5 fill-ups on average). There is great temperature control, it is sturdy (this is coming from someone who is clumsy), and it has a great design (I have purchased the teal 32 oz, black/white ombre 32 oz, and navy 40 oz for myself and others.)! I use the teal one, and I LOVE the color - it is so vibrant and a beautiful color). Also, my husband and I have both put stickers on ours and they work well. My husband has the black/white ombre one, and has a white sticker that overlaps both, and it looks so sleek! The only thing about my water bottle is that it is too wide for my cup holders in my car since I don't have large/adjustable cup holders. However, as long as the lid is screwed on tightly, I put it on the ground and it does not leak.I also want to give a shout out to the customer service team; if you have any questions or concerns about your water bottle, just go to their contact page on their website and send them an e-mail. They will get back to you within 24 hours and help you solve your issue if it falls under their lifetime warranty - how cool is that? You don't get that very often with companies, and that is something to really considering when buying any product you plan on using consistently. Most don't offer superior service, but you are lucky if you buy from Hydro Cell because you will receive awesome customer service that is responsive and respectful! Special shout out to Jordan at Hyrdo Cell for assisting me!

I just bought this, my second HydroCell water bottle - this one a 30 oz. - because my first (20 oz) was the object of such envy. Gifted this to my hubbie, so now my husband has his own HydroCell and can keep his own drinks cold or hot without borrowing mine. ;) The HydroCell keeps stuff cold for at least 12-15 hours (my ice cubes are still there). It'll keep things hot for a good 8 hours. Part of the duration depends on where/how the bottle is kept. In hot sun inside the car, the cold time might be a little shorter; in a freezing cold car, the hot time might change a bit. Overall, though, these bottles WORK for a LONG time.The bottle itself is GREAT. I like the wide mouth because it's easy to throw in ice cubes, or to fill it with whatever you might like (sorbet!). HydroCell sends you two options for lids: a standard metal, flat lid, and a BPA-free plastic lid with a flip top straw. Both come included; you don't need to buy a second lid (for more money). The metal then is 100% leak proof. In my experience, the flip top lid has been leak proof as well. The fliptop 'could' leak as there is a tiny vent hole (so the straw works despite the seal), and because the flip top is a moving part with attendant gaps. It MIGHT leak, but so far I haven't had the problem in the 2+ years I've used the 20 oz. bottle.I chose these HydroCell bottles over the (admittedly hip and "in") HydroFlask because of the BIG price difference, and the fact that HydroCell gives you the two tops. My son opted for a HydroFlask; he's at the age that brand matters. Although we bought our bottles within days of each other, my HydroCell still looks new (despite multiple drops & bangs). His HydroFlask is dented and the finish is peeling off at the top and bottom. It's possible he's harder on his bottle, but I think that my HydroCell has a better/tougher powder coat finish.The 20 oz. size fits in car cup holders and bike bottle holders. The larger diameter of the 30 oz. size does not. If you add a silicone bottle boot (which I did on both) the 20 oz. is a quite tight fit in the cup holder. The 30 still won't fit ;) .Clean-up is super easy for these: just wash it out with soap and water. Ease of washing is definitely helped by the wide mouth.I recommend these HydroCell bottles to everyone. They're very well made and an excellent deal.

I bought three of these. One for my husband and one for each of my kids. I will be getting one for myself as well. We have taken them to the beach, work outs at the gym, Universal theme parks and Volcano Bay waterpark, and my kids use them for school each day. No leaks! They have kept our water cold and ice lasted all day. Very well made.I wash them by hand. Love the colors they offer. I found a pouch with a shoulder strap so we could carry them like you would a crossbody bad.

The perfect dupe of Hydroflask. I would recommend this over that any day of the week. It actually works better. My friend and I did a test run and mine held ice much longer, and it’s half the price. Colors are wonderful and vibrant. I’ve purchased twice, had them for a few years and the color is still holding strong as well as the insulation.

My review might be a little bias as I'm a big fan of Contigo bottles, but my son really wanted to try this brand after seeing it on Amazon. It's a fine water bottle. It's double-walled and keeps things cold. The colors that they offer are nice. It comes with the two lids which is a bonus. My son likes the straw tops on his water bottle, but didn't love how the top was exposed and didn't hide. After one recess, he said that there was dust all over the mouthpiece and he didn't want to drink from it... So we tired the other lid but it's a pain for him to have to screw on and then off. We're going to go back to using Contigo in the future.
