The bottle could use one of the rubber bottoms that other Takeya water bottles have because it slips out of your hand a little bit when you're lifting it to drink. My lid broke after 3 months with moderate use (3-4 times per week every other week). It tipped over and the hard plastic part cracked in half and fell off.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So sorry you had a problem with the lid. There is a built-in bumper on the bottom of the bottle. Let us know if yours doesn't have one. Our customer service team will be sending you a new lid.
I think that this is the best bottle out there, with a flip top lid that allows for the right flow of liquid, and the o rings and seal don’t get nearly as gross and their other spout bottles. I like that I just press a button to open the lid instead of unscrewing the top for a spout. HOWEVER: they really need to make this a more sturdy lid. I’ve had the plastic carrying ring break, I’ve had the flip top latch break. Once that latch breaks, it’s over, you can’t seal the lid anymore. I’ve bought 4 replacements over the last 2 yrs for the same bottle. I’ll keep buying a replacement lid bc I love it and can’t find anything close to it from another vendor. But they should really match the sturdiness of the bottle and make a sturdier lid.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY BOTTLE... BUT THIS PLASTIC RING... IT BROKE, I CAN STILL USE THE BOTTLE BUT THE METAL PIN INSIDSE STICKS OUT AND NIPS ME EVERY NOW AND THEN. BUT ASIDE FROM THAT I LOVE THE BOTTLE. IT WOULD BE NICE IF SOMEONE WOULD SEND ME A REPLACEMENT CAP FOR MY BOTTLE.
I love this travel mug!! It is the most convenient size and fits in cup holders perfectly. The flip lid and drinking spout make it easy to use and EASY to clean. I suppose they call it a "traveler" because it goes with me everyday every where!
