quality control disappointment
on August 18, 2023
Posted by: Sinezona
I had the old model for years until I finally dropped it enough times that it broke. I then got the new Ashland as a replacement and was excited to see it came in a pretty lavender. After only a few months use the silicone mechanism broke and it was leaking and I was sucking up air through the straw. I contacted customer service and they were very prompt in getting me a replacement but after a few months use this one seems to have failed the same way. Additionally there's no way to remove the silicone mouthpiece for cleaning so mold builds up in there pretty quickly and it's very difficult to clean even when I purchased a brush designed for reusable straws. I was planning on replacing this with one of the other models with a more open mouthpiece for easier cleaning but the quality control problems have me a bit hesitant to purchase another contigo product despite how much I liked their older designs.

Value Engineered some of the best features out of version 1! I can accept the thinner plastic walls but I was really disappointed with this compared with the previous Ashland water bottle. I had to cut a notch in the bottom of the straw because now it's just pushed into the lid it falls out and is blocked against the bottom of the water so you can't get water out. If you push the straw too far into the cap the spout won't close - very frustrating!!! The other irritating change is that the clip is gone from the handle so now I need to use my own karabiner to secure it to my back pack or paddle board bungee.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the pop up straw / drinking stuff. But sadly it filters (drips from the lid) when you put it inside the backpack and the heavy lid turns the bottle down. We bought two and this started happening only after a couple of weeks of using it, I belive the is a design flaw in the part that gets pressed when you close the straw tip.

I had the old Ashland with the clip handle for years and finally dropped it too many times and broke it, so I replaced it with this one. After a few months of use the silicone mechanism tore right under the spout so it's only sucking in air. I hope contigo's quality control hasn't gotten worse over all because I like the push button style water bottles and my last one was extremely durable. It's a great shade of lavender and I like the streamlined carry handle better than the carabiner style one.

Very disappointed with the new style. I recently had to purchase new Contigo water bottles because I lost one of the old ones & the lid of another one broke (it lasted for a very long time). The new lids are very bulky/heavy. There is no longer a clip which I used all the time (women have to carry multiple items everywhere we go so being able to clip the water bottle to your purse was very helpful!) and the new straw set up does not work well. The previous straws were a hard plastic & all one piece which worked great. The new ones are a more flexible plastic that does not always stay inserted into the lid even when you push it in tightly. I really wish you had stayed with the previous design. You know the saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Bought two of these bottles to switch out for my son to use while around the house to encourage him to drink water. Both lasted 5 months before they started leaking profusely when not in the upright position. Super disappointed as I have always had a lot of faith in contigo products before.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Water spits out of the bottle after the lid has been shut. Initially I thought that it was because it was in my bag and pressure was building up from it shaking around. So I stopped putting it in my bag and just carried it in my hand to prevent as much movement within the bottle and that did not improve the problem either. The final straw was after taking a sip, setting the bottle down in a cup holder and picking it up and it spitting out a massive amount of water to the point that I had to change shirts. At that point, I went and purchased a new one because my daughters contigo water bottles are so awesome that I thought maybe it was just a fluke. Well this bottle does the same thing. It is extremely frustrating to open my water bottle while in a professional setting and water shoot out like a geyser. So I have started calling this bottle Old Faithful, and while that sounds like a compliment, it's really not.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
