My daughter had a bumper on her Takeya that fit my discontinued 24oz Stanley metal flask bottle that never had one designed for it. I thought a bumper was such a great idea I ordered 2 and bought another Stanley bottle on eBay. Product ID is 20-00542 for the bottle. 14 - 22 Takeya bumper. Perfect fit! What a great idea.
I love this bottle, it’s such a beautiful color, nothing makes me happier than something that matches from top to bottom lol. It’s also gotten me a lot more motivated to drink water throughout the day, way more than before I got this bottle. I highly recommend this for anyone!
I was looking for some new water bottles to take on hikes for my wife and I. I planned to use it mainly for activities, while my wife intended to use the bottle for regular daily use as well. One of her biggest concerns was something that wouldn't spill inadvertently while drinking. She's prone to splashing water on herself with various other spout, straw, and open designs. Well let me assure you, she loves this thing, and I haven't seen her practicing for any wet t-shirt contests to date. The spout design is great and it's easy and natural to drink from. Beyond that feature, the design is stylish and I like all the bold color options. It fits in all my cupholders, and isn't overly heavy while also being seemingly durable. We've only the bottles for a few weeks, so I can't specifically address the durability, so I'll update this review if we have any issues.
Our first 2 bottles both had dings in them. Customer service was great and they immediately replaced both, without question.
We really like all the features of the Takeya and think they are the best in the industry, from the spout to the handle, but we're a bit disappointed in the retention of heat. We've added medium hot water a few times and there's a noticeable change in temperature within a few hours and after about 4-5 hours, it's down to tepid water.
We're going to test this with boiling water soon, but I highly doubt the "steaming hot for 12 hours" claim will hold true. If your goal is to keep things super hot for a long time, this might not be the choice.
We haven't tested the cold part yet, so we'll get back once we do.
I’m so happy that I was able to purchase a replacement bumper for the 40 oz bottle. It isn’t as tall as the original so when looking at the bottle you can tell it is a replacement because the bottom of the bottle is a different color than the top. I guess the bottle color faded in the sun.
