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 (Red/Orange 40oz)

Because of the verbiage in Hydro Cell’s ad on Amazon, I thought my new, 22 oz flask would come equipped with a straw cap as well as the full cover. However, this was not the case and when I contacted Hydro Cell about it they immediately, (and I mean five seconds after I went to their website and posted my concern) assured me they’d be sending out a straw (Sports) cap today. I was so impressed by their customer service, as well as their beautiful and functional product, that to not give them five stars would have been a real crappy move. Dean was the person I spoke with and he was courteous and professional. I’ll be going back to Hydro Cell for their other flasks, for sure!

Love this water bottle! I drink between 1 and 2 gallons of water a day, so the water bottle I use is very important to me. I’d been feeling weird from using my plastic Nalgene bottle. I’ve heard from a lot of sources that even if the plastic is BPA-free, it still affects the water quality and puts harmful plastic byproducts into the water. I’ve made the switch to hydro cell and feel much better about the fact that the stainless steel interior will not get into my water. As a bonus, this does not sweat and keeps my water cold for an incredible amount of time! I filled my bottle with ice water before a round of golf the other day, left it in my car in an 85 degree, full sunny day, and I came back 5 hours later to water that was still refreshingly cold. Did that again while working out for an hour, and none of the ice melted (see attached pics). I’m super impressed so far and have recommended this bottle to my family, who are now all buying one themselves. Give this a try - it’s worth the investment!

I’m so happy with this water bottle. I take it everywhere with me (I try to stay hydrated throughout the day). I fill it up with cold waterin the morning and add ice. It always stays cold for at least 24 hours. The ice does melt but very slowly. And for condensation…well, there really isn’t any.It’s always dry no matter how much cold water I have inside.The sport cap works great too. You open it up and there’s a straw. It doesn’t leak too too which is amazing. I actually tested it out by lyingthe bottle on its side for 30 minutes. No water came out. So I don’t have to worry about throwing it in my bag when I’m in a rush. I don’t use thestainless steel cap as often but it didn’t give me any trouble the few times I used it.Washing is simple as long as you use  a bottle brush  (you can’t fit your hand into it otherwise). All I drink is water so I cleanit every few days. Hot water, dish soap and some vinegar in the sink is all you need. The lid, I do take it off so I can wash it separately.The whole thing is also dishwasher safe if you prefer that.The only negative for me is that it doesn’t fit in standard cup holders. For reference, I have 40 oz. Luckily I don’t use the car much nowadaysso it isn’t that big of an issue but I thought I’d mention that in this review. The 24 oz from when I’ve read does fit however so maybe get thatif you want to make use of the cupholders.So overall it was a great buy. I love it and would recommend to anyone. There are several vibrant colors to choose from too which is always a nice bonus.

I absolutely love this water bottle! It goes everywhere with me - I'm never away from ice cold water. When filling the bottle to the top with ice and adding water, the water stays cold for at least 36 hours. With the 40 oz bottle, the ice melts at a rate of about 1/3 every 12 hours. I don't use the steel lid much, but it does work well the few times I have used it.The sport lid with the flip up straw works great! It doesn't leak. I tested it when I first received the bottle by filling it with ice and water, then laid it next to me on my bed and left it for an hour. The sport lid isn't as well insulated as the steel lid, so condensation formed on the lid. But the bottle definitely DID NOT leak. This was with the straw closed, of course. Generally, even if the straw is open and the bottle tips, it will not leak. This is because the air hole will be blocked with the water, preventing the water from leaking out of the straw.The only negative about the 40oz bottle is it doesn't fit in the cup holder of my Chevy Malibu or my Veracruz. However, I just lay the bottle down on the passenger seat. A small amount of condensation might form on the lid after my 40 minute commute, but I also live in an area with > 80% humidity. I accepted the risk that the bottle might not fit in the cup holder - it's worth it for the 40 oz capacity. It sits on TOP of the cup holder/center console without problem, if necessary.I purchased 18oz bottles for each of my kids to carry around with them. One of my sons will only drink water if it is ICE cold. Other cups he would use would only keep the water cold for about 3 hours. He's 5 and sips water throughout the day. He likes that he can have ice water all day and doesn't need to wait for me to add ice throughout the day. The 18 oz and another 22 oz bottle I purchased all fit easily in the cup holders and are easier for the kids to handle.In total, we purchased 5 of these - the 40oz, 3 18oz and 1 22oz. Super happy; worth every penny; love the finish on the bottle.I recommend a silicon sleeve. It will help protect against drops, which haven't happened yet... but with 3 kids carrying these around, they are going to bounce around...

Okay, so I wanted a leak-proof, insulated, large, good-quality water bottle and this is definitely it. I've been using the straw-top and love that it's also leak-proof and I don't have to lift the whole bottle upside down because this sucker is HEAVY. This is not a negative and I didn't take a star off for it, because it's only because of my arthritis that the weight of this thing is an issue. Not having to lift and pour the water but instead just flipping open the lid and using the straw is awesome for me. I drink only the iciest-cold water I can get and this guy keeps my water cold all day.

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
