Mold

Great fliptop lids, keeps liquids hot or cold. Downside, mold on lid gasket, can't scrape it off or clean it off with anything. You also can't buy replacement parts, like the bottle gasket or the removable drink spout. You can verify this on their website, mold, since it won't let me upload a pic

These Zulu 26oz bottles are the best!!! I LOVE them. Bought them 4 years ago and worked in a super hot factory. It kept my water ice cold. Still use them Dailey. I always have one with me everywhere I go. Now buying some for someone else that loves my bottles.

Nice bottle with a FATAL flaw

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.

Buy something else!

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.

Good, but...

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.

Ice Melts

I've been using these for 6 months and I love them for my intended use. They do not leak and are very easy to clean. They do stay cold for a few hours. They do not not prevent ice from melting. Your drink will stay cold but will be only cool if out in the sun after 4 hours. I made a drink with ice and left this in a hot car for 6 hours, and my drink was still cool and drinkable......but not icy cold as if in a glass of ice. Does it work: yes. Is it the best option on the market: no. This will not prevent ice from melting...and that is the only negative issue that I have.

Best Bottle That Won't Last

I'm on my third set of these. Its hard to find metal waterbottles that fit in a car's cupholder. This does. I wish it was a little bigger, 32oz would be ideal. But it's ok. My gripe with this bottle is there's a little rubber band under the lid that heps it open and close. This is my 3rd set within 2 years. the rubber bands all have broken about the 2 month mark. That's 6 bottles! They need a better system.

Bottle works amazing, until the lids break

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.

I love how they fit in my car drink holder and they stay cold throughout the day even if you leave them in the car on hot summer days. My boys take them to the gym and to work. We have our own colors so we don't get them mixed up. I get us all new ones every year cause you can't beat the price and we stick with the same colors. will definitely buy again
