My favorite are ocean colors which to me are very calming...I finally decided to purchase this bottle eventhough I have a 40oz and 20oz from this brand...how many water bottles do you need?!? Anyway I also bought Hawaii themed stickers and now my bottle is even more beautiful and makes me happy...I even had a coworker ask me about it...she bought it and said it's not as pretry as yours..I laughed and said you need to get the stickers...I love this brand because I can fill my bottle up with crushed ice from work when I leave in the morning and can refill with liquid 3+ times and still have ice in it 24 hrs later AND even without ice if the liquid is cold it'll be cold for 24hrs win win in my eyes!!!I bought this bottle 5 years ago and it is still going strong. I have quite literally traveled the world with this and it has never let me down. I typically fill it with ice in the morning and add water. It will withstand 2 full refills of water in very hot environments (think Egypt and Rome in the summer during a heat wave) and still have a little bit of ice left in the bottle after the second refill cools. What is that... at least 100oz of cold water per day without adding more ice? My last "insulated" bottles couldn't come close to competing. The cap is great if you want to hook it to your pack as that solid plastic isn't going to break like so many other flimsy caps do.My only nitpick issues: While the bottle never sweats, the neck around the cap does. If it's hot outside and you fill it to the top with ice water, the cap sometimes gets stuck so leave a little room when filling (not the bottles fault, but a testament to it's high level of insulation). Finally, it would be nice if they made a slip on rubber base to keep it steady and reduce the risk of breaking the glass on top hotel night stands when setting that big heavy bottle down.I'm picky about my water bottles. This one's great. No funky taste. Stays cold while storing in car during hot weather. The handle is perfect and the top screws on easily. It is sturdier and probably more insulated than my other bottle at the expense of being heavier. That's a detail I overlooked. It is a fantastic product.I love this water bottle. It provides just the right amount of water when I go out, it keeps the water cold for hours, even if left in a hot car. I do add ice which helps to prolong the cold. It is easy to clean and add ice cubes because of the wide mouth, it comes in many attractive colors and different sizes and it is easy to hold because the cap with has a build in handle. It also is supposed to keep hot drinks hot too. Bottle arrived on time, in perfect condition in its own pouch and I would purchase from this vendor again.I like the 32 ounce size because it is not so small yet not large and cumbersome. It keeps my ice water cold in 100 degree plus Texas heat inside a closed truck for hours on end. I suggest you read the care instructions prior to use. If you want to remove the tannic acid stains from drinking coffee/tea use a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and dish soap, make sure and rinse thoroughly. My Healthy Human bottle performs just like brand new almost six years later. It looks like brand new except for a few dents that gives my bottle character.I took this water bottle all around Italy. It's easy to fill and easy to clean. It fits well in my day pack and doesn't leak. I am very pleased with the purchase.The bottom of my daughter’s water bottle came apart, after only 4 months of use. I’m really disappointed! However, I’ve had my. Own HH water bottle for years, and it’s still great. I filled out a warranty form on the website, and they are sending us a brand new bottle, so A+ for customer service!I have tried dozens of water bottles over the years, and a handful of steel stein bottles in the past several years. Healthy Human has completely won me over. There are a few key reasons. for this:1. Many of the other bottles appear to have a sharp corner in the bottom of the bottle, which mold manages to take hold in, and be very hard to clean out. I have never seen this happen in my Healthy human bottle.2. The healthy human bottle has taken abuse better than the other bottles, showing much less wear and tear from the occasional drops which inevitably happen. To me this suggest higher quality materials and construction.3. A few of the other manufacturers seem to feel the need to re-invent themselves every year or two- changing their look, but in the process making the lids, gaskets, etc. incompatible. This means-when a gasket fails, I now have to throw away a perfectly good bottle. With healthy Human, I just bought a new set of gaskets for my oldest bottle, and they just fit. The replaceable parts are truly replaceable, which is both economically friendly, and eco-friendly.So long as they continue to follow this trend, they will be the water bottle I buy, use, gift and recommend.After using the bottle for 6 months, it smells dreadful, like mildew. I was careful to always keep it clean, washing it regularly. I've tried the dishwasher, white vinegar, baking soda, alcohol, but nothing works. Even left baking soda for a couple months, and I simply cannot get rid of the smell now. Therefore I stopped using it completely. Bear in mind, only cold water was used.Perhaps it is a problem with the design of the bottle or manufacturing, as I have another stainless bottle from 500ml EcoVessel with no issues whatsoever. But I vastly prefer 1L to keep on the desk, as I drink a lot of water and tea during the day, and that means less refilling.I ended up buying 1L milk glass bottles for this purpose, and leave the 500ml EcoVessel stainless steel for when I'm out and about (which is perfect for this purpose). The former can be bough for much cheaper, and there are no smells.What a waste of money! Too bad I didn't think of this sooner.The only reason I bought this one is it was cheaper than the EcoVessel equivalent size. I have now learned the lesson.Used for the first time on my Mountain Leader Assessment this weekend. Kept my hot drink hot throughout the day and (because I forgot to empty the remains when I got back) still had one warm cupful available the next morning. Outer surface gives a good grip and the lid is easy to remove even with gloves on. Washed easily in plain old soapy hot water. Clean as a whistle. Nice size for one or two people on a cold day out. You can drink straight from it so need to carry a cup either. The mouth doesn't get hot to the touch. Not even a scratch on the bottle despite being bashed about in the rucksack and rolling down a slight hill. 'Action' photo included. Apologies but forgot to get permission of assessors to show their faces!So I don’t write many reviews, mostly because I don’t get anything for them, while they take up my time. However, I have to review this as I appear to have had a great impact on the sales of this. I bought one for myself last year, absolutely love it, decided to buy one for my son who works on building sites, as the water stays sooooo cold and tastes delicious. Consequently, about 6 of his mates have bought one I the past month as it’s an awesome piece of kit. Expensive yes, worth it yes. I bought cheaper, it’s cheaper and not as good.I've been using this daily for two weeks and have appreciated having my own filtered, alkaline water with me. The opening is large - great for adding ice cubes but take your time tipping it up for a drink or else you, too, could become soaked down your front. ? It comes with a handy caribiner clip and carry lid. It's sturdy, attractive and is my constant companion. I know that if I drink just two of these bottles of water a day I've met my requirements. (Easier than keeping track of 8 glasses/day.) I'm going to buy a smaller one for hot water so I can have tea at school, as well. This is MUCH better than another brand I bought. I'll be sticking with Healthy Human, thank you.Marvellous little flask. I wanted one without a 'pourer' and a cup as they just end up impossible to clean and leaking.This one hasn't leaked at all and has kept my soya milk cold for hours. It has also kept my white wine at drinking temperature with no taint to the taste for hours so it gets the full 5 stars from me!Oh and the colour is fab, I've only had it a few weeks so I'm not sure how the colour will stand up to be being bashed around but so long as it continues to function I'll be happy
