HYDRO CELL Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle with Straw - For Cold & Hot Drinks - Metal Vacuum Flask with Screw Cap and Modern Leakproof Sport Thermos for Adults (Lavender/White 32oz)

We've been using these bottles for years now, getting our kids a new set each school year and cycling the old ones out for camping and sports. Mine last 3-4 years before I finally upgraded simply due to age and dings. They work so well, and you honestly can't beat the price. Ice water still has ice in it 2-3 days later. They look good, are a great size for most cup holders, and come with both lid styles (and the newest batch came with extra straws, which is just awesome - sometimes they do get cracked after enough daily usage). Sure, they are metal, so they do get dinged up when you drop them, but it doesn't really affect their use. The color selections are great, always something that looks good for both adults and teens - though it matters less when they put a ton of stickers on it right away. They're also easy to clean; while too narrow to get my hand in there, any bottle brush or sponge works great, and the lid/straw is easy to clean up without too many moving parts.

I have had this water bottle for over two years and I love it. I have carried this water bottle around with my EVERYWHERE. I like it so much that I bought one for my husband and best friend. You only want the best for those close to you, so you already know how good a product is if people are buying them for close ones. I was curious how there could be one star reviews on this, so when I looked, I saw it was mostly due to the non-steel lid and ice melting. I don't use the non-steel lid with the straw (I thoroughly enjoy having my lid strapped to my bottle, and being able to hold on to it, so I only use the steel lid with the rubber part that connects to my water bottle. Plus, I am thankful for the steel lid because I try not to drink out of plastic. Thus, I cannot speak to the other lid if that is something you are looking for.). Secondly, in terms of ice melting - yes, it does melt. HOWEVER, your water is kept cold for hours (I have never had it where I had ice/my water at a cool temperature and it EVER warming up.)!This is a great water bottle, and it is at a price point where you feel comfortable in investing in it. Having it for 2+ years, and filling it up 2-3 times a day (32 ounces), I have received AT LEAST 1,825 uses out of it (2 years X 2.5 fill-ups on average). There is great temperature control, it is sturdy (this is coming from someone who is clumsy), and it has a great design (I have purchased the teal 32 oz, black/white ombre 32 oz, and navy 40 oz for myself and others.)! I use the teal one, and I LOVE the color - it is so vibrant and a beautiful color). Also, my husband and I have both put stickers on ours and they work well. My husband has the black/white ombre one, and has a white sticker that overlaps both, and it looks so sleek! The only thing about my water bottle is that it is too wide for my cup holders in my car since I don't have large/adjustable cup holders. However, as long as the lid is screwed on tightly, I put it on the ground and it does not leak.I also want to give a shout out to the customer service team; if you have any questions or concerns about your water bottle, just go to their contact page on their website and send them an e-mail. They will get back to you within 24 hours and help you solve your issue if it falls under their lifetime warranty - how cool is that? You don't get that very often with companies, and that is something to really considering when buying any product you plan on using consistently. Most don't offer superior service, but you are lucky if you buy from Hydro Cell because you will receive awesome customer service that is responsive and respectful! Special shout out to Jordan at Hyrdo Cell for assisting me!

I left a review for Hydro Cell as a seller (it's mixed in here), but I also wanted to leave a full, more detailed review on the actual product I purchased since seller feedback has a character limit. In short: If you're looking for a new, insulated, sturdy, well-made water bottle, I highly recommend Hydro Cell.I'm a Hydro Cell fan for life. Their products are great, but their customer service is top-notch! A company can have great products, but if their customer services doesn't match, forget it. Hydro Cell stands behind their products and their customer service proves it! I reached out to them after losing my 2.5 year old water bottle at an airport, and Jordan was more than happy to help.The 18 oz HYDRO CELL Stainless Steel Sport Water Bottle is the only insulated water bottle I use. It's the perfect size for the average vehicle's cupholder, and it also fits in the water bottle holder of a waist pack for walking or hiking. I can fill it up with ice and water, and it'll still be cold after hours of summertime walking or hiking, even if I'm in the sun.Last November, I reconnected with someone I hadn't seen or talked to in about 9 years. I thought it would be a quick check in (we'd both been through A LOT), but after talking daily for a little over two months, we decided we needed to get together in person, so I booked a flight and went to visit. I brought my non-insulated water bottle so I wouldn't be sad if it broke or got lost. We ended up deciding these visits needed to continue, so every few weeks, I packed my cheapo water bottle and headed to the airport. Summer is coming, and the weather has already warmed up where he lives, so I decided I needed to bring my far superior, insulated, Hydro Cell with me last time. It was great! I was able to leave it in the 95+° weather without worrying the water would get warm or I'd end up drinking some plastic.Fast forward to the end of my visit, and I'm back at the airport for a night flight back home. It's hard enough saying "see you later" to this guy after just a week every few weeks, but it gets worse. TSA PreCheck is closed. What?! Why?! I have to go through regular security, which isn't a big deal this time because the line isn't long, but I have to take my shoes and zip-up hoodie off. No?! Phew! They give TSA Pre folks a card to not have to remove their shoes or light jackets; however, I find out I have to take things out of my bag to get my electronics out (which you don't have to do with TSA PreCheck). I got through security, then to the bathroom, and then open my bag to get my water bottle to fill it. It's not there. Where is it?! Either it grew legs between me putting it into the bin at TSA or...?? Where's my water bottle?? I speed walk back to TSA, turning here and there hoping I'm going the right way (it's quite the maze). I recognize one of the TSA agents from when I came through a few minutes prior. I ask her. Nope, nothing, but she checks to make sure it didn't end up left behind before the conveyor belt. Nothing. Really?! I'm so sad. I don't like losing things, and I take care of my stuff, so I'm really bummed.The next day, I'm exhausted. I go home at midnight and only got a few hours of sleep. I'm back at work...without my favorite water bottle. I'm back to my cheapo water bottle. Sure, it's purple, and Hyrdro Cell doesn't have a true purple one, but it's cheap and not insulated. Midway through the morning, my water's already room temp. Ugh. I hop on Hydro Cell's website and decide to send a message. I'm not expecting anything back, but thought, at the very least, someone will get a chuckle at my little sob story and my runaway water bottle. To my surprise, Jordan wanted to make my day better! Jordan had a replacement water bottle sent my way without hesitation! They didn't have to do that, but it sure made my day, and I'm so happy to have a new Hydro Cell to take on my adventures.
