HYDRO CELLStainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle with Straw - For Cold & Hot Drinks - Metal Vacuum Flask with Screw Cap and Modern Leakproof Sport Thermos for Kids & Adults (Navy/White 24oz)

What designates a "5-star" product from a "4-star" product? For me, its when a product goes above and beyond. You think, what could a stinkin' water bottle do that is "above and beyond"? Well, I'm happy to say that this product is made in the USA, the water bottles are elegantly designed and have care and thought put into them: you can't imagine how difficult it is to pick out a large waterbottle that actually fits in a standard cupholder! It comes with two caps, to fit your usage. Their customer service is ultra fast, friendly, and helpful. The price is right, and above all else, can you believe the product actually works as advertised? Super cold or warm drinks for the whole day. To me, all that combined makes this a stellar product and one that I'm happy to use, and recommend wholeheartedly!When I first got the product I assumed it was just like any other waterbottle/cheap thing you buy on Amazon, it comes from some other country, and has no instructions and a bunch of cheap accessories they throw on to inflate the price and make it seem like a better value. I've been taught this from too many Amazon products. So, I was not surprised when I unboxed it filled it up and the next morning went to drink and ended up with water pouring out down my chin.Over the next few days I started drinking a LOT more water, because the bottle was attractive, it fit in my cupholders at work and in my car, it was convenient, and it kept the beverage enjoyable because it was ice cold- just the way I like it.But it leaked, every time I took a sip... Disappointed, I contacted customer service to initiate a return. I was really kind of sad. The customer service person was overtly polite and apologetic and wanted to ship out a return at no cost. They even wanted me, again, fully prepaid, to return the bottle to them so they could inspect it for manufacturing defects, which I was more than happy to do. What company does that? Not many that I've dealt with. Most just want the product back so they know you aren't scamming them. However, after I started talking about a return, I did some Youtube investigating because I wanted to see if perhaps the leak was specific to the 24oz bottle or something. As I went through reviews, nobody mentioned it. And finally I stumbled upon an unboxing video where they showed someone putting the water bottle together and that's where it hit me. There is 2 straw accessories included with the water bottle. These accessories I assumed had to do with the other bottle cap that came with the product. Or, I assumed it was for if you literally just didn't want to put a cap on at all so you could drink out of the bottle. I don't know what I was thinking. I clearly wasn't. But anyway, after looking at the video I realized that it was leaking, because the straw cap is meant to be used in conjunction with one of these straws on the inside of the bottle. That way, you aren't inverting the entire water bottle upside to drink out of an open hole. What an idiot!After I realized this, I tested it, and of course it worked. I went back to customer service and immediately told them my error. I'd like to call out Jordan who was the representative who was very helpful the whole way and may have chuckled to himself but never made me feel like an idiot.As I mentioned, the bottle looks great, and has made me drink more water each day. I think from a combination of it being nice and cold, and from the flashy bottle being in my peripheral vision to remind me to drink. In fact, each day, even though I know you should be drinking more than one 24oz bottle a day, I have to make baby steps. And each day I come home with a bottle that was full in the morning that has less and less each progressive day. I call that a win, and it is all due to this product.I would completely recommend this product to anyone. And plan to pick up some more bottle soon as gifts. My only negative would be that it should come with some basic instructions on how to care for it, and maybe a little idiot-proof diagram that shows if you use the straw cap, that there is an interior straw that needs to be added.

I've been using this water bottle for a few weeks now and really like it. Though I have other steel water bottles, I find myself reaching for this one every time.There are several things about it that makes it my go-to bottle:- The outside of the bottle has a good feel to it. It has just enough texture to make it grippy, without being rough to the touch. And, I like the color.- It keeps drinks really cold and the ice doesn't melt, which I really like. I've left the bottle in the fridge overnight and the ice in the drink hasn't melted at all.- It has two separate lids. One is a screw-on lid connected with a rubber attachment that goes around the opening. The rubber is fairly thick and stiff, but it seems to be getting more pliable with use. Something to note, the first time I used this lid, it didn't seal completely. But after I screwed it on really tightly, then opened it and screwed it on normally it sealed just fine. (I'm wondering if the rubber hadn't quite been pushed down all the way and screwing it on tightly pushed it down all the way.) Anyway, it seals fine now.- The second lid has a spout with a plastic straw that attaches to the underside of the lid. They include a spare straw, which is a nice touch. The thing I really like about the spout lid is the handle you use to carry it around. The ring has smooth rounded edges, rather than square edges, so it's super comfortable to carry.- Something that might seem unimportant but I think it matters is how it was packaged. The box was sturdy and the bottle and attachments were all padded and protected. Seems like so many times stuff comes with flimsy boxing and no padding, so whatever is inside gets damaged. This was really sturdy.So, all in all this is a really nice water bottle, and I'll be buying another one soon.

I just got this today but I am so pleasantly surprised! No, it’s probably not going to fit in the car cup-holders (32 oz), and yes, I scratched it up a little trying to wash it for the very first time- NOT a very auspicious start! But the light weight (considering what it does), mouthpiece design (utter perfection!), and leak test pass really impressed me! And for what I paid? Crazy talk! I shopped around before deciding on this one but between the low price (do ppl seriously pay $50+ for a water bottle?) and the amazing reviews, I didn’t think I could do better.The last two deciding factors? I wanted orange or melon color, and the other last contender came with three lids. I prefer to tip the bottle up and was tempted to go for the coffee lid but I really don’t like that style so I probably wasn’t going to use it much anyway. And it was more expensive. I’m SO glad I chose this one! I don’t usually love straws but this one is perfect! I kept trying to see the mouthpiece before I bought it and never got a good look so I’m taking a pic for ya! I hope you love it as much as I do!

Among large, insulated, cold travel cups with straw lids, I don't think you can beat the value on this one. Just ordered my second one after losing the first. I will continue buying these!What I love:- The handle on the cap is oriented to be grabbed from the side, not looped over one finger from above like most. Better for grabbing off my nightstand or out of a cup holder.- Keeps my drink exactly the temperature I fill it with for hours.- All components are dishwasher-safe and it doesn't look or taste like anything is getting stuck in the straw cap.- At least $5 less than more well-known brands across the board- Durable - After several months of daily use, no marks, scratches or dents on it.- Pretty colors!What I don't love:- 32oz is too wide to fit in any cup holder. Not an issue, but maybe it could be a bit taller and thinner.- Does not come with pipe cleaners, which personally I need in order to feel like I'm hand washing effectively.- I think the straw cap requires more effort than other brands to drink from, but not so much that it's uncomfortable.

I love that it includes 2 straws so that I have a spare and it doesn't feel like one of those flimsy straws, it's very sturdy and feels like it can last a long time. My friend has this bottle and I used it while I was in the US and fell in love with it, so I had to order my own when I came back to the UK. No regrets!

So the original packing was damaged when being delivered which left a tiny crack in the bottom of the flask. This meant that the vacuum was compromised and none of the liquids stayed cold for very long. After a few emails to the good people at Hydro Cell they were sending me a replacement. This one was VERY well packaged indeed.Great product, keeps things cold a long time even with the sports cap. Even longer with the other one. Haven't tried anything hot.

Does what it says. Keeps water cold even if left in sun. Water is almost at the same cold temperature even after 24h or more. Drooped it on the pavement and got a little dent as expected but the color didn't came off so is hardly noticeable. Versatile as in drinking methods. Very good

My low rating is because it looks like we were sent a filthy returned bottle. We bought two bottles. One came beautifully packaged, immaculate and they do look like great quality. The second came in no packaging but a baggie. I opened it to find it full of moisture and digustingness. Including the straw, e.t.c. I'd never let my child drink out of this. It looks like it came from a playground. I'm super disappointed in the choice this company made in sending us this. Now I have to pay out of pocket to send back to third party, even though they sent such a sub par item.

I love it it’s perfect
