The has some nice hybrid features with the straw/pour options, but the lid is connected via a plastic hinge. After just one week of use and ordinary handling, the plastic loop-handle snapped. Since the hinge is connected by the plastic piece, once the loop-handle is gone, the lid is no longer tethered to the waterbottle. This is a major design flaw given the importance of the piece and low-quality of the material (other pieces of the waterbottle and lid are of high quality).

This was such an upgrade from my last water bottle. It doesn't leak because they have the lock feature, but you can take off the lock feature and hold it by the clip when you're walking around. The straw goes down into the bottle so low so you don't have much water left at the bottom. The texture of the bottle itself is a nice feeling and a good size. I love the bright colors, but I could see how some people are turned off by the colors. I really want to recommend the bottle to friends but I don't know that they would like the colors.

I was using a Yeti until I stumbled upon an ad for the Owala. I'm so glad I did. I ordered the stainless steel free sip in every color. Gave them away. I love mine so much. It goes everywhere with me. EVERY WHERE! I love that it doesn't leak if it's knocked over. It's easy to clean and it keeps my water cold. I'm drinking more water too. Will order more to give family next Christmas. Thanks Owala!

This is already doing what I'd hoped - causing me to drink more water!! I love the easy to sip from spout-straw, which feels like a "lazy straw," since I don't purse my ips around it the same as a typical circular straw, hahaha. The insulation is great. I'm about to wash it for the first time (besides initial soapy rinse), after about 4 days of use, and plan to put only the top in the dishwasher (top rack). I guess my only negative thing to say is that it's pretty bulky for my car's cupholder, or to carry in my hand on a hike or something, but that's really NBD. In fact, my husband used the handy loop on the top of it to clip onto a carabiner, so that def helped. Overall 5/5

I can t speak highly enough about the Owala bottles. My family owns 5 total and I soon hope to own a 32 oz as well. I have recommended them to all my coworkers and now at least 5 of them own s. We had to all pick different colors so we wouldn t get them confused! I love that they are SO easy to clean...we have no issues putting all parts in the dishwasher. They do not leak at all. Pro tip: When you fill up the bottle, keep the lid open while you screw it on. Otherwise it does squish some water out of the edges because there s nowhere for the pressure to escape.

Got this water bottle after admiring a co-workers. I thoroughly enjoy that you can sip through a straw, or take a swig. I feel that the top is very secure, not worried about it leaking in my bag. The flamingo pink color is very vibrant! Love it, I recommend it to all my co-workers.

These are absolutely amazing! My five year old is obsessed with hers! We have one for everyone in the family. They are well made and worth every penny! Encourages everyone to drink more water! Holds ice over night! They do not leak!! Get one you won t regret it!

I bought the white and aqua colored free sips and can t say enough about them! They keep my water cold. The multiple ways to sip makes it so easy. The covered mouth piece keeps my sipping germ free. They fit in my car cup holders, and the top handle makes transporting a breeze. I love these water bottles!!!

I've bought and used at least a dozen different water bottles/tumblers and there was always something they lacked. Either they didn't keep water cold very long, the lids didn't close right and they leaked, or they didn't close at all. The Owala checks all the boxes. It keeps water cold all day, the lid seals tight and doesn't leak a drop, and the built in straw is perfect. There is simply no comparison between the Owala and the competition. This is the best water bottle/tumbler on the market, period.

I like it. Don t love it. The bottle is nice. It keeps things cold but not for as long as some competitors. It s huge advantage is the straw built in but I ve experienced mine falling off especially if there is some ice in the container as well. Where I really dislike the product is what appears to be a flaw with the rubber gasket as it seems to accumulate black mold which is proving to be a challenge in cleaning as I can t see how to disassemble it. For that, I don t know that I ll buy another.
