Speed Hound Durable Double Wall Insulated Hydro Thermos 21 Oz Bottle Stainless Steel Food Grade Water Flask Best for Hot or Cold Leak Proof Handle BPA Free Vacuum Sealed with Wide Mouth

I bought this bottle to bring with me on an international vacation. I'm so happy I bought it; I originally purchased it because Hydro Flask brand was way too expensive for such a simple bottle, so I did my research for something high quality but at a reasonable cost. I also wasn't willing to cash out a lot of money for something I knew I was going to dent and slam into it and my previous bottles would be destroyed, especially after trips and long hikes.PROS:+ keeps my water cold past 10 hrs ++ keeps my hot liquids past 5 hrs+ body of bottle has gritty texture feel to it (some people might prefer smooth feel)+ extremely light weight+ already bang it a couple of times with very little dent or scratches+ the logo is simple and cool and the outline of the dog makes it better+ has yet to leakCONS:- I don't even knowI'm looking forward to taking this across the world to see how it holds up.

I bought 2 of these since the price was so good. I was very impressed by the quality of the product. I can not tell you if the water will last cold for 12 hours since I never let water sit that long (I tend to carry this for work and am constantly refilling it). But what I CAN tell you is that it was cold every time I opened it to drink. I like the fact that it is slim and it does fit in my backpack and also it comfortably fits in my car's cup holder. I am grabbing this 9 out of 10 times over my 40oz hydroflask because it is so convenient to have (the hydroflask is just too big). And since I am refilling it as I go, I become more concious to drink more water. The finish on the bottle was great, it is anti slipping, and I have never had this bottle "sweat" due to its vacuum insulation.

**UPDATE 04/22/2017**After contacting Menlo brands customer support, they offered to send a replacement bottle for free. It took a couple of weeks but I did receive the bottle which works much better. The CSR explained to me that the issue I had with my bottle is common to the blue sport version and she replaced it with the stainless steel version. It's the same bottle in everything but color and it functions properly. I've bumped my rating from 2 stars up to 4. I can't give it a 5 in good conscience due to the slow response from customer support and the fact that they knew this was a major issue for the blue bottles but haven't recalled/repaired them. The stainless steel bottle works extremely well but isn't what I paid for. Kudos to them for being good enough to replace the malfunctioning bottle though, it is appreciated.**UPDATE 04/10/2017**After less than a month and a half, the sport straw has stopped working. No matter how it's positioned or washed and replaced, I get more air out of it than water. I reached out to customer service over the weekend but haven't heard anything back.I'm very disappointed. This initially appeared to be a high quality bottle and it may just be one defective product out of a thousand but due to the fact it broke in such a short amount of time, and I've received no response from customer service, I've dropped the rating from 5 stars to 2 stars.**Original** I can't stand the taste of chlorine tainted city water, so typically I drink a lot of bottled water. However, at $4.99 a case, it can get expensive quickly!When shopping for a water bottle or canteen, it was important to me that it be durable, easy to clean and have a wide enough mouth to accommodate ice cubes. I also searched out bottles that were insulated, as to keep drinks cold or hot while I'm working or at my desk. Enter SpeedHound...This water bottle has met ALL of my wants and needs easily. It's large, 2" diameter mouth easily accommodates crushed as well as cubed ice and the double wall, stainless steel insulated cylinder easily keeps my drinks cold far longer than I need it to. The sport cap model comes with a flip up straw and a carrying handle that makes it easy to either carry around or clip to a backpack. The bottle itself is coated in an extremely durable powder coat finish that is slightly textured, making it easy to grip while the stainless steel interior makes it a cinch to clean!My only two gripes about this water bottle is that it is NOT DISHWASHER SAFE (hand washing only, as recommended by the manufacturer) and the interior portion of the straw tends to fall off easily outside of the container, such as when you're refilling it.All in all, this is probably one of the best sport bottles on the market and at this price point, it can't be beat! I highly recommend ordering this water bottle!

Pros:- Insulation works well- Looks very nice; doesn't scrapeCons:- Plastic mouth piece and strawFeedback:I've had this bottle for less than a week and on the second day of using it the plastic mouth piece stopped working properly, I was sucking in air with water which was really annoying and made me feel bloated. I tried to fix this problem by re-placing and tightening the straw multiple times which did nothing. I even tried to bang the mouth piece (where you suck the water in) to try and somehow tighten it which also didn't help.Truthfully, only giving the 3 stars because of the price and insulation.

As a professional driver, I always carry hot coffee with me at work. I broke my water bottle that I bought a couple years ago on my vacation to China. I like that bottle very much because it kept my coffee hot for the whole shift. When looking for a replacement, I found this Speed Hound bottle has very good reviews. The only problem seem to be the straw. But I don't sip coffee out of my bottle, so I really don't care about the straw. When the new bottle arrived, I was happy because it does look and feel like a good product. However, I have the bottle for a week now. And I am very disappointed because the bottle will not keep my coffee hot for even one hour. So call double wall insulated.......

The valve on this Thermos provides no suction. You can have it filled to the top with water and you are literally sucking in air. It does keep stuff cool very well, but what's the point when you can't drink out of it?
