I've tried different brands of water bottles and so far, this is my favorite. I like to use the straw feature most of the time. This model has the straw built in without having to touch the straw or flip with your fingers, just push a little button on the front of the bottle with one finger and the top cover & handle pop up, I can then drink from the straw spout or take bigger gulps from the bigger hole, either one. I got the 24 oz free sip in two different colors and like them both very much.

Honestly, I was going to buy another hydroflask since my daughter stole mine, but I am so glad I didn't. I love this water bottle. The option to drink or sip is the best. It is not too heavy, keeps things ice cold, has the locking feature that doubles as a handle. It is my new favorite. As a matter of fact, I will be ordering my daughter one as well because she loves it.

I love the 19oz free sip bottles! I hated my daughter s various bottles b/c they were hard to clean, splatted water everywhere when you opened the lids, and were so small. I talked her into trying my free sip and now we have 4! They fit in cup holders, they don t leak. They re easy to clean, great colors, it s truly all we use now!

Being a nurse it s nice having a water bottle that s different from everyone else s. Fortunately but unfortunately my son decided he liked it better than his black Owala and took it but it s ok! I love that my 10 yr old prefers water over anything else and Owala got him drinking water! Best cold water bottle ever

I love this water bottle! The liquid stays cold and the different drinking options are awesome! My only tip would be to make sure that you check the water bottle size with your car cup holder if that s important to you. I didn t think about that. The 32 oz bottle doesn t fit in my car. Still love it though.

This is the best water bottle. I wish I could have gotten 1 of each color. I have the purple one and it is so pretty in person. I get alot of compliments while holding it. It fits well in my hands, easy to clean. This bottle helps make drinking water so easy. You can free sip with the straw or you can hold the bottle up and pour water into your mouth. I opted for the 19 oz because I never had a water bottle in that size. Keep in mind that the 32 oz. does not fit into a cup holder in the car. Just get the 24 or 19 oz and you will love it.

We now own 5 insulated bottles they are absolutely great! Add some ice cubes and it can last well over 12 hours. These are well worth their money also very durable I have two small children (6 & 4) dropping it a lot! And only has had very small dings no damage to the actual finish.

My friend Kelly told me about this cool bottle and I was looking for a new one and decided to invest into a nicer, better model. I like the straw option with the pour as well. And gotta LOVE the color options! I got Hint of Grape and it has like 6 different colors without being too overwhelming! :)

If you put hot or carbonated things in your or Flip (or perishable things that start to ferment), then the contents will be under pressure. That's probably why the directions tell you not to do that and also why you are getting an explosive opening. If you are bound and determined to put things in the bottle that are going to cause expanding gas, then leave excess room at the top, avoid shaking the bottle, and untwist the entire top every now and then to release the pressure build-up. Or better yet, get a "Twist" bottle for those things, and save the and Flip bottles for things that are not hot, carbonated, or likely to ferment. I love the more with each passing week, and everybody on my list is gettin' one for Christmas this year! The PURE GENIUS!!!

I want to make these our water bottle of choice.. we love PB bottles but they are not large enough and do not keep water cold all day. After a few years of use they have begun to leak. So when I saw the Owala bottles I was soo excited they meet all my wants: no touch spout, multiple levels of leak prevention, stay cold all day, look great! So far I do like them but one lid has already broken (4 weeks of use) which is terribly disappointing. Wondering if the others will last as long as the PB ones or if I traded down?
