I use this Every Day!

"Positives"
1) Cold - Keeps my water from the fridge cold All day without needing to add ice
2) Handle Moves - makes it so much easier to carry when your hands are full
3) Straw - I drink twice as much water with a straw vs without & it saves my sensitive teeth
4) Durable - this thing has been dropped a few times (ok I'm a busy mom, a Lot) and other than a few expected scratches it has held up great
5) Easy to clean - no tricky spots where stuff can get stuck that you can't get to
6) No "metallic" taste
7) Fits in the car cupholder!

"Negatives" (Minor)
1) Lid - sometimes the lid Really sticks & is Super hard to unscrew (like I need to have someone help)
2) Flavors - if you add flavor packets, the taste is hard to get out of the bottle. I can usually still taste the flavor for a couple days no matter how well I wash it

With that being said.... The "Negatives" are Minor and will NOT stop me from purchasing again!

I’m giving 4 stars because I’m an ice chomper and I hate melted ice or maybe water but regardless it’s definitely going to stay cold. I liked that it’s harder to twist off the top because this means it doesn’t leak. If you have arthritis like me then it may be hard to remove the lid which can be very upsetting. I actually had to get my 14 yr old to open it one day because it was so tight. I got the hot pink and the rose and customized the rose and it was perfect. My daughter dropped one on the concrete accidentally and it seems to be pretty solid because I don’t even see any dents. So all in all it’s a great product and my daughter couldn’t be happier so it’s worth every penny ! Oh and these are cheaper than some of the most “ top selling “ brands. I definitely think they are going to be selling less now that these Stanley’s have emerged!!!

This whirlwind trend to walk around school with a Stanley cup makes my head spin, but this is what my 15 year old daughter wanted for Christmas. Its only been two days, but My daughter loves it. This particular one with the carry handle is most preferred by this family. Its easier to walk around with than the grip handle. With the carry handle you can have multiple items in that hand. As far as durability and cleaning, I'd have to answer that in a year from now. I'd have to Check to see when the mold begins in the sip straw or around the cap seal.The quality seems good, again haven't tried hot, or if its dropped what happens. To store you need to place it on a shelf with obviously the height of the cup. I liked the many different designs. My review title and stars are only based on two days. Use your judgement.

This is a great product! Keeps ice for over a day, water stays cold. Drink spout is easy to deploy and closes securely. The jug can leak if the lid is not tightly closed, but that would be true of any product. I'm looking forward to really using it this summer when the weather heats up. The 40-oz capacity is a good size, too: enough water for a hot day, but not hugely bulky like some products.

All the negative product reviews on this website are odd. In some cases, the review sounds like it is for an entirely different product. And it would be much more helpful to see reviews from actual REI users as opposed to dozens of comments from Stanley's website.
