Laken Thermo Futura Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle Narrow Mouth 12-25oz

This is a great water bottle! Got it for our daughter to use at school and soccer practice. What I really liked right off is the outer finish. It's textured and won't easily slip out of the hand and no matter how cold or hot the beverage is the bottle remains room temperature to the touch. My daughter loves that part as well. No more cold hands! We have already ordered another for our son.Update: the other one came and just like the first one it is of good quality and will last for many years. Our son is almost 4 and he can work the cap and tighten it enough to keep it from leaking. The 12oz size is perfect and a good size for him. Bought it to help incourage him to drink more water and it is already working. Looking into other products from this company as they still make high quality items and im gkad to support any company not making items in China!

The bottle is great quality at a reasonable price. Hold cold or warm temps well as does any vacuum insulated stainless bottle. The smaller neck is easier to drink out of and it fits the long skinny ice cubes from our residential ice maker, but it may have problems fitting bigger cubes of ice. The wide mouth obviously fits bigger pieces of ice but you have to carefully drink or you could end up wearing some of your drink. The powder coating holds up fine but the smaller ones that the kids use have dented as they get dropped out of the backpacks often. The small mouth top can separate in two pieces of its dropped hard enough on the cap but you can pop it back together. Also it's the only stainless bottle I'm aware of that's not made in China, these are made in Spain.

I just have this water bottle for 2 days. I ordered a white one. I am very happy to have this in my daily work time.Pros: Nice designed bottle bodyThe bottle neck is small enough, so you can drink directlyInsulated, keep both and warm drinksCons: Good to have another separate cap which can provide a nozzle or something like that, so you can drink with only one hand.Good to have a cushion coat for it.Related to thermo features, I haven't done a test on neither cold or hot drink. I didn't expect this bottle can keep hot drink longer than 6hr. The main purpose to have this is to make myself drink enough water during the office time and can keep warm/cool drinks for a certain time. I don't like to drink cold water in the winter time. So for this bottle, I am not expecting it will perform as good as a special designed outdoor/camp/sports bottle which can keep hot/cool drinks a long time.

Ok all you soda lovers, I searched high and low for a replacement for my Thermos Nissan brand soda thermos and this one qualifies. Most of Laken's product descriptions do mention "Extremely durable, easy to carry, drink and clean, tight closure (even for carbonated drinks)" but you really have to be looking for it. I wish it was in the description to make it easier to find. I have had soda in the bottle for over 24 hours and it stays cold and doesn't explode or give you a blast of soda when you open the top.If you use ice as they recommend to keep it colder longer, be prepared for the soda to be less bubbly. I found if I filled the thermos with ice (or ice water) for some time in advance (maybe 20 minutes or longer if you can), then pour the contents out, the soda can stay colder longer also. I believe they recommend this method anyway. I've seen both hot and cold thermos instructions say this.Anyway, the point is, it seems that Laken products can indeed keep soda in them, just make sure you look for the phrase, "tight closure (even for carbonated drinks)".

I absolutely this water bottle. I bought 2 different styles for my daughter to choose from for her competitions. She picked the other style, only because it fit in her gear bag better. However, this bottle is perfect for me. Keeps water cold for hours! I would buy it again!

I did not expect this to be so great, I ordered this just to hold hot water for tea, which it does really well, Ive since tried it with cold water and it did even better, no leaks in backpack, wow great bottle, its much better than my Kleen Kanteen because its insulated and much more compact but it still holds slightly more liquid, My Contigo only beats it because of the sip top. If I knew it was so compact and nicely shaped I would have ordered the larger size. Nice to purchase a quality product for a fair price not made in China.

The company advertises that the bottles are made in Spain but in fact they are made in China, then decorated in Spain. I think that is false advertising and I would not have purchased this bottle if I had known this. I was looking for a stainless steel bottle that was NOT made in China and I was willing to pay extra for that. But this is not it.Otherwise the bottle is fine. It keeps beverages hot or cold and I like the small opening because otherwise I would spill. If you like ice cubes you might not like this so much because only skinny ice cubes fit.

These bottles are great! I just ordered a 2nd one.The first one replaced my plastic water bottle. Re-used plastic does avoid putting a gazillion more plastic bottles into the landfills or waterways, but hey, what about those non-tasty chemicals leaching from the plastic? As I used this little guy (12 oz is just the right size), I discovered there were other plusses, some of which had been missing in regular thermos bottles:*It keeps hot liquids hot a *really* long time--through-out a 12 hour work-day*The bottle doesn't weigh much*It doesn't spill or leak liquid at all*It comes in pretty colors. The 1st was a red one, the 2nd is green, so I can color-code hot and cold*The outside doesn't sweat or feel hot or cold to the touch
