This bottle spends it's life rolling around in the bottom of my kayak. So far, it has performed flawlessly with no leaks and consistent beverage temperature throughout the day. I did however bond the bottom bumper with a dab of RTV sealant.
I was worried that this bottle would taste like metal once I bought this, but I'm glad to be proven wrong ! This bottle keeps my water cold for hours and hours, and I'm thankful for the big size. Would recommend.
I love my insulated water bottled. I one of those people who do not like hot drinks, so this water bottle is perfect for me. It keeps my water ice cold for as long as I am out and about. I have given it to several family members and friends. Just want to say thank you Tekeya great idea.
I have 4 of the Takeya Actives water bottles in different sizes. I use the 24 oz. when I'm going to be in my car because it fits in the cup holders. I use the bigger sizes when I'm at work or doing things outside for the day. I fill them with refrigerated filtered tap water (no ice added) and these bottles keep it cold all day. Love them!
I love this water bottle. It's the perfect size. Ok so it doesn't fit perfectly in my cup holder, but if you take the rubber bottom off it does. Not a huge deal. The lid is fantastic. Think of all the best parts from different lids, and this lid combines most of those features. They also have straw lids available. I wish the lid was attached to the bottle when you unscrew the larger part, but again, minor complaint. The lid also has removable rubber seals for easy cleaning although I had to use a chopstick to remove the smaller one (lol). So based on design alone, this bottle far outclasses the more expensive hydro flask. In terms of keeping things cold, I had ice water kept outside on a 90 degree day and that bad boy was still ice cold after about 5 hours. I know it keeps stuff colder for longer than that, but that's just one example. I haven't tried hot drinks yet. I'm picky about water bottles and I love this thing. If it's between this or a hydro flask, hydro flask can go take a cold shower...from the water in my Takeya.
Our granddaughter, who is six years old wanted a water bottle just like ours, which are the Takeyas. She LOVES it!!!! So easy to carry and keeps the liquid cold.
