How long does the water usually stay cold cuz I have to put a lot of ice in mine for it to stay cold and it gets warm berg quickly

I put ice in it with the water and the ice doesn't thaw for over 24 hours. I'm in San Diego where summers are quite warm.

I Keep bottles Of Water In Mine. It Keeps Them Relatively Cold, But I Don't Know How Long It Takes For Them To Get Cold. I'm Happy With The Temperature Tho.

It keeps the water warm for a long time....I was amazed how well insulated it is. Perhaps 4-5 hrs?

There is no cooling element in it... I put cold water in and it stays cool for quite awhile. I add fresh cold water daily

I don't run mine all the time so I don't have good detailed information. The setting for 'warm' or 'cool' has some effect on how long the water lasts. I am very satisfied with the unit.There are also 3 settings, "low", "medium" & "high" which will also affect the length of time that the water lasts. sorry, but I have not measured my unit under all of these different conditions, so I can't say how long it will run.

I went right to the top but the water does not stay Luke warm it gets cold fast our gold fish only made it through the summer I use it now for candy!

This bottle isn't insulated. It's a thicker plastic - the water will stay cold if you put ice in it - it will stay cold about the same amount of time it does in a plastic glass.

I tend to keep my water at room temperature but I went ahead and added ice to my larger bottle to watch it. It fogged up within minutes and several minutes later began to create minor droplets. Several minutes after that, I noticed that the rubber sleeve was wet on the outside as well. So yea - if you add ice then you'll have condensation issues. I've never had issues with room temperature water though.

It depends upon the outside temperature and the temperature of the water when you add the ice. The manufacturer says 18 hours and I have had it last that long in my air conditioned home. I have had it last 24+ hours in the fridge. But, in warmer settings, 6 -12 hours is more realistic. To maximize the time, start with a cool bottle (running cold water into it or even keeping it in the fridge). Then, use ice plus COLD water from the fridge (otherwise the warm water will melt the ice before the outside air gets a chance). Then, try to minimize time in direct sunlight. Using a room temperature bottle, plus cold water and only about 4 ice cubes, my bottle keeps at least some ice for the entire 10+ hours of my commute plus workday (desk work).

You wont really feel it being warm becuase it is meant to just keep the water from freezing but not to make the water warm. However mine only lasted for a year and last winter I had ice in the bowl every morning that I had to break up. think I am going to buy a different one for this winter

I presume that's what 'Keep Warm Heat' is. It probably won't warm up cold water, but if you put warm water in it, it should keep it warm for as long as you'd want to soak.

This machine is like a freezer and stays cold inside. The ice hopper stays full all the time with fresh ice. Rather than the ice freezing together in a lump at the bottom, the oldest ice (on the bottom) melts off and goes out the drain (maybe 5 gallons of water a week)

You can turn the "cool air" off and it'll stop doing the water... But we use ours quite often on high and with "cool air" and it'll sometimes kinda spit at us if we're too close when it first starts going but nothing like you're describing. We also make sure the water is cold water and even put the ice pack in it... But maybe your home is too humid for the "cool air" action too considering it's basically using humidity to help make the air cool.

It heats the water rather nicely. I have even had to turn the heat off because it got to hot. I still start with warm water just so it heats up faster but have put in cold water before. It took about 5 min to warm up to a nice temperature.

I have the 40oz and 21oz (both coated), neither one gets cold to touch when I pour cold water in. After sitting for a while with Ice and water, the outside does feel a bit cooler then room temperature but never cold. It sounds like it may have a defect.

Similar weather to where I am. It will get cool in about 2 hrs. If the drinks are cold going into unit they will lose some coolness within first hour then be maintained at that temperature until around 2 hrs when they start to really cool down. Long trips or short stops will keep it all KOOL

My water stays cold without ice for many hours; if I add ice there is ice in the bottle the next day. Keeps things nice and cold.
