Kinzi Insulated Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Water Bottle, 32-Ounce

I bought this bottle because I do a lot of camping in the cold and really needed something that can hold hot tea/soup for hours. After using it for a few days, I would say that the bottle does the job well. I carried some hot soup with me for half a day in relatively cold weather (35-40 F). I opened it once and poured half of the contents of the bottle into a bowl and it is was very warm, almost hot. Not hot hot, but comfortable enough to drink. I again poured the second half of the contents in a bowl 12 hours later and it was still warm. I honestly didn’t think that this thermos would live up to hype because of how lightweight it is. My other thermos holds 20 ounces of liquid and while the contents do stay warm/hot for a long time, it weighs a lot more than the Kinzi Thermos, even though it holds almost half the same amount of liquid.Pros:-Lightweight: the bottle is really lightweight. This is a plus because I have used it as a large water bottle occasionally.-air-tight: The cap is really airtight, haven’t had any problems with leaks.-Vacuum Seal works: actually keeps contents warm/hot for the time given.-Solid Materials: Dropped the bottle on concrete and only a light scratch, no indentations. I have a tendency to drop my bottles frequently, so this is a huge plus for me.-Easy Cleaning: One of motivations for buying the wide mouth was so that I can easily clean it. All my narrow top bottles catch mold way too quickly. This bottle on the other hand can easily be cleaned with my kitchen sponge.Cons:-The outer material is a little gritty. Not a major con, but it feels a little weird sometimes.-does not fit inside my car’s drink holder. But it does fit comfortably in my backpack’s bottle holder.-wide mouth is standard for a bottle like this. But it does feel a little awkward when I am trying to drink some water while jogging.Overall, I would definitely recommend this to people like myself that are looking for a solid thermos for camping/ hiking or just a large bottle to keep soups and drinks warm.

I have a nice purchase experience with this item. I like this water bottle and I am using it almost every day now.- Excellent qualityThe material is stainless steel. So it will not easily break. And stainless steel is safe. Sometimes when I use a plastic bottle with hot water, even it says the material is safe enough to hold hot water I still feel uncomfortable with it.- Perfect size32 oz is a good size. A smaller bottle will not be enough for a whole afternoon in a library. And a larger size will just be too big for my bag.- Nice designWe can find all kinds of water bottles in the markets. I always prefer a bottle with a wide mouth since it makes it easy to clean. And it does help the hot water to cool down. I do not want to wait for 3 hours before I can drink my water so a wide mouth is good. When I want it to be kept hot, put the cup on. When I want it to cool down, take the cup off, and the water will be good to drink in couple minutes.- It keeps the drink hot or cold for a long timeIt is really sweet to have a hot coffee or soup with me in a cold winter. And I even use it to take lunch sometimes. You prepare some hot noodle soup in the morning; put it into this water bottle. Take it to school or company. It will still be warm in the noon. And you can have a healthy lunch ready right away. Easy and quick! It is much better than having some junk food.I enjoyed this purchase. If I have to pick one point that I don’t like. It will be better if it is cheaper. But this kind of water bottles is mostly at this price range. And I can use it for a very long time. So it is ok. For future recommendations, I’d like to see more colors available. Overall, I like my water bottle. It is a good purchase.

In the last year, I had a job change. My commute went from less than 20 minutes to some days over 1.5 hours. Ah, Chicago traffic how I loathe thee!So some things in my life needed to change. Spending that much time in the car, I needed a better water bottle to keep hydrated during the hot summers and my throat coated in the cold days when I have to blast the heat!I started to research new bottles and the Kinzi kept coming up in my search.This bottle gets great reviews for good reason!The bottle is a great size and fits well into your hand. The stainless steel makes it very durable and things stay either cold or hot for a very long time.The black color fits very well into any car and it easy to find. The cap on the top fits securely keeping fluids in, the other day when I was driving I had to suddenly stop and the bottle went flying. Not a drop leaked!I can't think of a thing I would change unless they offered a dual pack!This is how I rate/review my products:5 stars – I love it!
