After washing my bottle out several times there’s white debris in the rinse water. The more I rinsed the more the white debris came out. It looked like paper

It's a nice bottle at a good price, but the hinge WILL fail, it's just a matter of time. Well, not the whole hinge, but the o ring that pops the hinge open will fail. It can be replaced by you (Zulu is NO help), but over time the metal pin will degrade the plastic, I'm sure.

I ordered 2 sets of the Zulu 26oz stainless Insulated Water Bottles 2-packs. Being these water bottles were bought to be used in the parks all day the main sales pitch was the “New Germ Guardian” feature on the drinking surface…But I didn’t receive the new update bottles with the germ guardian, I instead received what I believe to be the older version of the bottles. Customer service sent me replacements for both sets trying to receive the actual products that I believed I was purchasing in the first place with the germ guardian but the new replacements are the same older version bottles without it again! So even though I’m disappointed because of the lack of actually getting what I’ve ordered and the false advertising, the water bottles do hold ice for the stated 24hrs and they are very good quality, just not as updated as the updated ones! It would have been great if what was advertised was what I got -just feels like a bait and switch to push out the older inventory:(

These lids have a reputation for breaking and Zulu has non-existant customer service despite their lifetime warranty. They don't respond to their customer service email or the warranty form. Sam's Club came through with their great refund or replacement policy but I'd steer clear of these.

I've purchased a total of 4 of these since the beginning of the year, one for each member of my family, because we absolutely LOVE these! HOWEVER, three of the lids have broken, the culprit being the little rubber O ring that causes the lid to flip. After less than a year, needless to say, I'm severely disappointed. LOVE the product, but can't use them anymore.

We really like these bottles. We've actually bought three sets of them. HOWEVER, the lids are a problem. Three times they have broken. One just failed and the other two broke when dropped about 2 feet out of the fridge door onto laminate floor. The bottles themselves are really sturdy and stay cold. The lids not so much.

The water stays cold, they can fit in any cupholder, plenty of water and they do look nice.

Good size and they’re insulated

It didn’t fit well in my cars cup holders so I returned it. Otherwise I liked the locking feature.

Great bottles, just the right and keeps your drink cold without adding ice!
