I am so disappointed; I read reviews that said Takeyausa water bottles left no aftertaste even though made of metal. Bought a 2 pack. Sadly, the water has such a strong metallic taste, it is virtually undrinkable to both users, even when ice cold. Back to glass or plastic bottles!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this about a year ago. It was very leaky, and made many things damp. However it keeps my water cool throughout the day and I’m very happy about that

Fantastic Spill-Proof Bottle

Purchased the 24oz Actives insulated bottle with Spout lid in Cobalt blue on June 1st, 2021 and have used it virtually every day since. I use it throughout my entire daily routine, whether I'm exercising, working at my desk, running errands, or just chilling out, the bottle works great for all of these scenarios.
The spill-proof screw-on lid works perfectly. I've thrown it into a hiking backpack with a bunch of other items, placed it horizontally on seats in the car, and even dropped it a couple times, and it hasn't leaked once.
The insulation also works very well. Left it in the car several times during the hot summer months for a few hours and the water stayed cool (I don't typically use ice cubes). Also used it at the beach where it was in direct sunlight and the water stayed cool as well.
Really like the silicone sleeve on the bottom as it not only protects both the bottle and whatever surface you're putting it on, but also keeps it quiet when placing the bottle onto surfaces instead of making a bonging metallic noise like it would without the sleeve.
The handle is very useful and find it to be sturdy enough for normal use.
Measured the outer diameter using a digital caliper. - With the silicone sleeve, the diameter is 3 5/32" (~80.2mm) - Without the silicone sleeve (just the bare bottle), the diameter is 3 1/32" (~80mm)
With the silicone sleeve, the bottle usually does not fit all the way down into most automobile cup holders, but does manage to fit in enough to keep it secure. Without the sleeve, it fits down further and more securely.
The lid has two gaskets that keep this bottle water-tight; one for the main cap and one for the screw-on style spout cap. These gaskets (especially the spout cap one) must be removed and cleaned frequently, or an unpleasant odor will start to be noticed. The gaskets are a little tricky to remove, especially when wet, but isn't that hard.
Overall, this bottle is fantastic and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a spill-proof insulated bottle.

I would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the rubber bottom. My first week of using it and rubber keeps falling off. One day I found it outside another day on the seat of my car.

Me and my wife are ditching the plastic water bottles. Thus, by doing some research we have elected to try Takeya. First it keeps our good tap water delicious and cold and refreshing! We like the design with the perfect size loop handle, the way the loop stands upright and the easy spin off drink lid. The rubber bottom is a must and it has it. As well, we liked the design bringing the inner chrome container outward in forming a polished band at the large opening, provides function; as well, a classy look. Keep the colors up. Black and grey may be the trend, but more pastel colors are more pleasing and fun to some.

could use some design updates

I have 5 of these and adding.. I love the ease of the spout for use during a workout but the bumpers need some design updates. On the neck, silicone moves when turning, so can make opening the bottle a challenge at times. Also, there's been quite a few times when water has spille from the spout lid coming loose, so I wish it would snap in place or somehow show when it is loose. Every single one of my bottles has lost the bumper, the last one just from carrying it to the gym by the top handle (which is great); it was gone by the time I got to the treadmill. Overall, however, it's easy to keep clean, keeps water cold, and is very durable without being too heavy.
