I love this bottle to death

I love this bottle to death. Just love it. I've used it every day since I purchased it a year ago, and have taken it everywhere with me, including multiple trips, and it looks and works as good as the day as I bought it. I fill it with ice in the morning and even after a refill still have ice at the end of the day for fresh, cold water all day long. I've recommended this product to everyone I know, now have about 4 Hydro Flasks in our house, and have convinced a few friends to become Hydro Flask converts. Love this company and its products.

I actually really love this bottle and hate giving it anything but all 5 stars. I think it's easy to clean (no hidden parts or scrubbing), good on the go, I've never had an issue with leaking or loosing parts as I've seen in some other reviews. My only complaint is the gray ring has broken on mine. I glued it and that held for some time but today it broke again, making it useless. I was able to use a bunch of rubber bands today to get me through to the end of the day but going forward, this is not an acceptable way to keep using this. When you wash this after first getting it, steam will get between the glass and plastic part so it's necessary to remove the ring, once you do, you can't go back. I bought two of these because I use them on a daily basis and now I'm looking for a replacement. I'm worried about buying this again because of the breakage but really do love it. I also tried contacting the manufacturer to see about getting replaced under warranty but cannot locate this information.

I'm someone that drinks a lot of liquid. When I first got this bottle, not only was I surprised by the extra height [I was used to the 32 oz nalgene bottles], but I found myself going through the entire bottle around 3 times a day and only having to refill those 3 times, rather than having to constantly refill a smaller water bottle. This is perfect for me as I'm usually stuck in a lecture hall for a couple of hours, so I can't really go to refill my bottle [but buyers be warned! it's dangerous if there's no bathrooms nearby...]

Only thing that I'd caution buyers about is the lid. I have only washed this bottle around twice [I always refill it before it goes completely empty], but I panicked once I saw that nasty black scum in the ridges of the inside of the lid.

"Oh god, was I drinking some of that??"

This is mostly my fault for not washing it and always having it moist, but it's an area thats often overlooked and is definitely hard to clean due to it being so tight. I had to get a Q-Tip and some rubbing alcohol to clean it out - something I'm not looking forward to doing in the future again. Hopefully letting it air dry every couple of days will work.

In September of 2015, I was riding my small motorbike to class with this bottle in my backpack when I was involved in a crash with a sedan. Both of my legs were broken, my bike was completely destroyed, the helmet was dented to hell (which is why my head wasn't!), and my clothes had to be cut off me.

The next morning when I woke up out of all the surgeries that put me back together, I was handed my backpack where I found my Takeya bottle in one piece, closed, and still totally full. Not only had it not broken or chipped in any way, but it also remained sealed and leakless through the entire ordeal.

Even before the crash, my bottle went everywhere with me. After, my bottle and I are locked for life. I'm so completely sold on the quality of Takeya's product that I've purchased the Classic Flip Cap Bottle in the other available sizes.

This thing has practically changed my life! I drink 3 of these a day now. A really great quality bottle. I take it to work and to the gym. I did not think I would like the straw style at first, but now it's all I use. The only thing I do not like is that the bite tab can get a little grimy inside after a while even if you remove it and wash it. You can buy more of these for cheap, but still kind of annoying I have to continue putting money into a water bottle.

I seriously love this thing. The only other thing that Brita should come out with is a cap with a sterilizing UV-C light to clean the bottles.

Edit: The bottle leaks like crazy if its not upright, super annoying when 8oz of it spilled into my bag while I had the lid on tight and the spout closed.

I am a water bottle snob and I love this water bottle. It is durable and big enough to keep me from having to refill every 10 minutes. I go through 4-5 bottles of water per day for 120+ ounces of water.

I bought this bottle to replace my old bottle the broke when dropped on a tile floor in our kitchen. (It was not a Nalgene bottle). I unintentionally tested the durability of this bottle within the first couple days of using it by sending it sailing through the air and landing on our concrete driveway. As it flew, I knew that it would break upon impact, but it did not. It bounced and rolled and got some minor road rash but is now just simply broken in.

I do with the tether for the bottle cap was a little thicker. My 1-year-old got ahold of the bottle and chewed on the tether for a couple minutes. He didn't chew through it but it is pinched in one spot and now appears to be weaker. Hopefully, I'll get a couple years out of the bottle, but I still plan on order some more of these. It's my favorite water bottle to date.

I LOVE this lid.  I originally found the bottle at a target and I was like... oooo multi-drink.  Yeah, I CHUG my water... I do not sip. So the wide mouth Nalgene in general is hard to chug without spilling all over myself, and the "lip guards" help, but they aren't as functional as this is. Finally after years of abuse, the lid cracked after dropping it, while full, on the corner of the lid. I feel like this is expected, it's plastic. But absolutely totally worth replacing. I was devastated to think that I couldn't buy a replacement, so when I found this I was SOOO EXCITED.

I've purchased an additional 4 bottles, from Amazon (because the top is $7.99 and with the bottle it's $10.20) and I use the top on my 32 oz Nalgene. I got a replacement one for the one that cracked, one for my boyfriend after he kept drinking out of my bottle, and two for my Dad to put on his Nalgenes after he saw me using mine and was jealous.

I can't figure out why people don't like it, and why it would get a bad review. I've had it leak when I don't screw the top on all the way (duh). Sometimes if there is a dramatic shift in temperature and the bottle is upside down there MAY be some that comes out of the air flow valve, but other than that I've NEVER had a leak problem that wasn't user error. I take it everywhere and often sleep with it next to me in bed. I don't often use the straw (sometimes when driving) just because I LOVE the "chugger" so much. The key is the perfect size opening and the AIR INTAKE VALVE!!  I can drink practically the whole thing in one go because I don't have to stop to let it breathe, and I can just seal around the chugger and drink.

This is THE BEST lid/top for a Nalgene ever made. It is awesome and I hope they never stop making it. I've had so many people ask me about it once they see me drinking out of it. I just tell them "multi-drink" on Amazon, and they love it too.

I bought one of these at least 5 years ago (not sure- but I have pictures with it from 2008), and carried it around like a security blanket.  It's so much easier for me to sip from a straw than to chug a beverage, I can drink mass amounts of water in a day with this bottle.  Alas, since it is plastic- I dropped it on concrete one day and it broke.  (Certainly not the first time I'd ever dropped it- it's very hardy... and I'm very clumsy.)  Over the course of a few weeks, I tried out 3 other types of water bottles and found major complaints with ALL of them (whistling, dumping water on me, etc), so I came on Amazon and bought myself another sippy bottle, and have been SO happy ever since!

MY FAVORITE WATER BOTTLE ON THE PLANET. I should be a rep for them.. I've gotten at least twenty of my friends to buy them because I can't recommend Hydro Flask enough

This is a wonderful bottle. My husband got a similar one and I was super jealous of it. He would golf out in the AZ sun for 6+ hours and the ice lasted the whole time. When I saw this with the three interchangeable tops I couldn't resist. It works amazingly and the 40 oz is perfect. I only have to refill it once a day.

My one sad note is that as it is a bit wider than most other bottles and the material is a bit slippery, it's hard to hold onto. It slipped out of my hand and fell on the concrete and now has a dent in the bottom. :( I don't know if it will make a difference in the performance but It still works amazingly for now.

It doesn't fit in my car cup holder but I didn't expect it to. It doesn't drop so I'm not worried about it.

I use this bottle every single day. The only thing that loses 1 star is due to the looseness of the cap over time. It get's wobbly after 3 months of use. I'm afraid the hinges will break and fall off soon.

I love this bottle!  I would have given it a 5 star rating but I'm finding it very difficult to hold the 32oz bottle with arthritic hands.  I just don't have the strength to lift the bottle with one hand when it's full.  That means I can't use the bottle with any convenience while traveling, or almost anywhere.

This bottle is amazing!  It's pretty large, obviously to hold so much liquid and to be insulated but it works like a charm.  I fill it with hot decaf tea in the winter and ice cold water in summer and take it to work with me everyday.  It never disappoints me, it keeps my drinks hot/cold depending on what I filled it with.  The only issue is the cover.  It seals the bottle well but sometimes it seals it so well that it's really hard to open.  I've had this for about a year now and the ring that holds the cap to the bottle has broke.  Not a big deal, you can buy replacements, but I wish it stood up a little better over time and use.  Overall I am very happy with this purchase and it keeps me accountable to make sure I am getting all my fluids in for the day.

I love this bottle so much! My favorite part is the push button open of the straw. Sometimes the other brand is hard to open because it is very stiff. With this one I just have to push the button. I also love that it is just a straw, I don't have to "bite" to drink, which I personally find really annoying and it hurts my teeth. This is my second bottle of this brand and I have one of the other type, and I am going to stick to this brand from now on.

My daughter has this one in the 24 oz size, but I personally prefer the 32 oz. It is easy to clean with a bottle brush and skinny pipe cleaner type scrubber for the straw. I have never had a leaking problem with any of these brand either.

I bought this bottle on sale at a local health food store, because I was super-concerned about chemicals leaching from the plastic bottles I have been using. I love its cheery green color and the silicone sleeve around it. It is also amazing to me how great water tastes coming from this bottle, rather than plastic or stainless steel.

At 16 ounces, I find this container is not quite big enough to keep me hydrated all day at work. I won't drink tap water anymore, because of the chlorine and other chemicals, so I find it takes two bottles of purified water to quench my thirst. The 22 ounce Lifefactory options do not come with as nice of colors or caps. I also prefer the circular openings in the silicon sleeve of this size, as opposed to the octagonal openings of the larger bottles.

I like that this company sells several interchangeable lids for its bottles. I don't like how expensive their products are. I think this is a case of either paying for the exported components from which the bottle is made, or you are paying for the popular, well-known brand name. The flip-top lid is nice, because it is easy to open to take a sip. However, I worry about how long the cap will last.

I find this bottle is a bit "tippy." I keep it by my bed at night, and am constantly knocking it over with hardly a touch. It is also too high and wide for the cup holders in my car and on my exercise machine.

The bottle is easy to clean--either in the dishwasher or by hand. However, due to concern about the residue from the dishwasher (and the consequent taste) I tend to wash it most often by hand. I think this will extend the life of the lid, in particular. The bottle doesn't leak, but if you don't get your mouth just right on the oval opening, you can drool a bit (another discovery made from keeping the bottle by my bed at night). The rubbery silicone helps keep it from skidding or clanging when you set it down.

Due to the coverage afforded by the silicone sleeve, I think this bottle could survive some light outdoor activity, such as hiking or walking. However, I would not recommend a glass bottle for more rugged activities, like rock-climbing. It is great for use at home, in the office, at school or on the go. Thanks to the higher price, you may want to go with a less expensive brand. But if you can afford these (especially at sale prices like I found), I think you will find it is a good value.

I tried this bottle water when my girlfriend broke up with me and it helped me cope. I am now hooked and would rather die than drink any other water. Hands down the best water i've ever tasted. I always bring a case of this water everywhere i go. Without this water i would kill myself.
