So I have a friend that uses a Takeya water bottle for her job, and I needed one to stay hydrated at my own job so I bought this one to give it a try. It's perfect! Very heavy-duty and still able to hold the vinyl stickers I collect on it's surface to give it some flair. It keeps my water cool for most of the day and (so far) has not picked up any odd flavors if I add a dash of lemon juice or cucumber to my water. If I had to say something negative about it, it would only be that the lid and mouth piece cap aren't easy to clean without getting some small water bottle brushes to get in there and scrub with. It's also hard to get the rubber seals in and out to clean. But overall it's worth that little bit of work it takes to hand wash. I highly recommend a Takeya for on the job or workout!
Best water bottles. I had an 18oz bottle for son to take to school and found it better than I thought it would be. Keeps water very cold. Liked them so much I bought two 22oz bottles. What I like best: Keeps cold, lid is more insulated than other lids, don't have to take lid off to drink, powder coat colors outside don't chip or flake (they do scratch if you drop it hard like a 10yr old does), removable rubber bottom cover keeps bottle steady on table and no annoying clinks, fits in car cup holder, great colors.
I just ordered two bottles (22oz.) for my husband and me and we both just love them! The quality is great, the size is perfect and the fact that they also look so nice is a good addition.
