Contigo Ashland Water Bottle

Good water bottle

Love these bottles!!

Love this water bottle! Its functionality and size are perfect for work. We have a Culligan waters stand and most water bottles. Do not fit to sit on the little shelf and fill it with water, this one does! Its slim size makes it easy to hold. Due to it being plastic and not insulated water does not stay cold for super long amounts of time. A mouthpiece for the straw is very comfortable and everything is very easy to clean.

I love this bottle's size, shape, handle, and mouthpiece. Unfortunately, it's too big for a car cup holder. That's a deal-breaker.

We purchased this Contigo to replace a CamelBak Eddy style bottle. The CamelBak has a mouth piece that folds down when not in use, to minimize spills. However, in less then 9 months, the mouth piece feature that holds in down was worn out, thus leaving the mouth piece up, all the time. This Contigo has a locking feature that is not simply held via friction, and is a lot more positive with closed. We have lots of other Contigo bottles of the metal variety that we have had for years with no problem. I'm now converting our plastic water bottles to Contigo as well.

This bottle leaks around the lid and "spouts" water unexpectedly when it is warm. I am not happy and would return it if I could.

The best bottles for kids. Durable enough to survive my kids and that says a lot about these bottles

These are TERRIBLE. We loved our previous Contigo water bottles which finally wore out - we thought these were the replacement. But UGH. We will never buy water bottles online again - always in the store so we can see them from all directions. Of course we still wouldn't catch the fact that THEY ALL DRIP! 1. THEY ALL DRIP! We have had these for months. 2 people, 4 water bottles, and it is rare that they don't drip when on their side - and possibly it just depends which side it is lying on? One bottle faulty, I could understand (manufacturing fault) - but FOUR?! In four different colors?! 2. The "handles" don't clip. So what is the point? These bottles will hang on a hook, but how many people have hooks to hang their water bottles on? How many people want to carry their bottles by a handle all the time? Maybe once in a while, but, honestly I don't see the point. The last model we had, had a clip on the handle so we could clip them onto things like belt loops and backpack straps for easy access when out and about. These have to go _in_ a bag, where they have to be dug out and therefore we don't access them as often as we should and therefore dehydrate. 3. (Following from 2) It is difficult to attach a clip. A carabiner can slide off the "handle" when unclipping it from the bag strap. Plus, a carabiner won't allow the handle to go flat, which makes it difficult to drink from without taking the catabiner off. 4. The straw design. You'd think it's just a straw. The photo shows it going down the middle of the bottle. Nope. The straw angles *away* from the "sippy" part. The result? When you take a drink with the bottle at an angle (don't most people do this?), you get zero water even though there is plenty in it. You literally have to hold the bottle straight up - or angle it towards you, or drink with the "sippy" on the side opposite your body which is just awkward - just to get the last few ounces out of it! 5. (Following from 4). Even when you try to angle the straw so it will point towards you when you're drinking "normally", as you twist the top back on, the straw (usually) "drags" along the bottom of the water bottle so once the top is screwed on fully, the straw is again pointing away from you.
