As a life long, card-carrying member of the reusable water bottle club, I've gone through and used my share of water bottles: plastic and stainless steel, pop tops and screw tops, wide mouth and slim. I really did not expect to be wowed by this bottle. I don't really care what brand things are as long as they work, so being a Stanley did nothing to assuage my skepticism. But after using this continually for a few weeks I have to say it's the nicest water bottle I own, has been extremely durable, and has surprised me with it's ease of use.
I did not think I would care much about how the body of the bottle can screw apart since I don't actually like super cold water and never use ice. HOWEVER I do live in Texas and don't appreciate my water turning to molten hot lava if I leave it the car for ten minutes, so insulation is an important factor to me in that sense, and this bottle held up nicely, keeping my water at a cool temp. The thing for me that was so nice about having the body of this bottle screw apart was the ease of cleaning. I love a good screw top bottle, but often it begins to taste swampy after awhile because I can't seem to get it clean enough. This one I unscrew, put the three parts in the dishwasher, and never need to think about if a bottle brush will fit through the neck. That brings me to the other thing I love about this bottle: the slim neck and small mouth. Most screw top bottles can't have this petite of a mouth and neck in order to accommodate cleaning, and so they end up having a mouth that is slightly too big and the water sloshes out around your mouth as you drink. This spout has an ergonomic curve that fits your lips as you drink, and it's small enough that I could take a drink while driving down a bumpy road without getting water running down my neck. Miraculous! This little mouth would make filling the bottle a pain if it didn't have the secondary opening. But opening it at the shoulder to fill instead of at the top is a game changer. I took this bottle to a waterpark and filled it at one of those bottle refill stations that activates via sensor. It was so much easier to get the bottle in front of the sensor and aim the water into the vessel at the same time with the wide opening. The only sort of funny thing to happen with this bottle was at said waterpark where an attendant wanted to check it--he thought it was some sort of fancy alcohol bottle. But as soon as he saw the brand he waived me on. Made me chuckle.
Overall, this bottle is great. Neither seam leaks. It's easy to fill. It's a dream to clean. It's a pleasure to drink from. 10/10!
I was given this water bottle to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

I received this water bottle from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This water is awesome and my new go-to daily source for drinking. The bottle’s 3 separate sections make it incredibly easy and convenient for cleaning and filling, and being dishwasher friendly is always a plus. The bottle is huge, which is great for holding a lot of water, and is also slim enough for the convenience of carrying, transporting, and storing it easily. The size of the drinking hole is also perfect in my opinion. In addition, I find the style and design of the bottle to be very aesthetically pleasing. In my experience, the bottle did not keep the ice from melting nearly as long as it claims it will, even when kept inside an air conditioned location the whole time. However, I am still more than pleased with the duration it stayed cold. It has also proven itself to be leak-proof. I will say that the middle section of the bottle replicates the cold temperature inside of it, which is nice. The only issue I had with this was when my water bottle was freshly refilled with ice water and had fallen over on its side without me knowing, leading to a lot of condensation building up on the outside of the middle section and a surprisingly significant wet spot being left on my carpet from the sweat it produced. This issue, however, is not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion and is more of something for me to be mindful of in the future. Overall, this is a fantastic water bottle that I look forward to continuing to use.

At first I was so excited about this water bottle. I only drink water out of my quenchers, but also drink a liquid IV daily and was using other random water bottles for that. I was thrilled I could easily fill it with ice and my liquid IV powder and take it wherever!

I got the bottle in and it was ok. I tried it out for the first time and filled it with the water, ice, and powder, screwed on the top, and started to shake it to mix every up (pro, the water bottle seals really well so it didn't leak whenever I was shaking it to mix in the powder). The first thing I noticed was that the top is NOT insulated. Just from ice water, the top part of my bottle was freezing - it was pretty much too cold to touch bc it almost hurt it was so cold. When I got to work that day I went into my coworkers office and was like "here hold my water bottle" and she grabbed and I was like "ok, now hold it from the top" and she instantly moved her hand it was that cold. I've done this with multiple people and they've all been shocked on how cold it is. The bottom isn't like that, but it's a large water bottle so when I drink out of it, I typically hold around the middle to top and it's awful bc it hurts my hand.

Following this, the top part sweats pretty badly bc it's not well insulated. I've had to start using a coaster with it, which drives me nuts because I don't have to with my quencher - as I mentioned, I always have the two.

Finally, it's not like my other Stanley's in terms of quality. It's already scratching and the color is coming off and I've had it like 2 weeks. It's starting to look worn and I feel like I just bought it.

Overall, if they fixed the quality in both the color and insulation, it'd be a great water bottle. Unfortunately, these two things are such big factors that I'm only giving it 2 stars. Aside from the negatives, I do like the design and it seals well. Personally, I wouldn't buy this water bottle, especially when there's better and cheaper options out there. I'm super disappointed because I thought it'd be just like my quencher, just a different design, but that's not at all the case.

Overall, this is a great water bottle with some convenient features. The shape of the bottle is very similar to that of the larger one time use bottles you can buy at the store. So if you like drinking from a spout, this bottle is a great option. If you prefer a straw, this bottle is not going to be your favorite.

What works: the dual top design that allows you to remove the top cone makes it really easily to add ice as well as to wash. I didn’t have any issues with leaking either once this top was screwed on. There is a secondary top that is more similar to a cap on the plastic bottles that lets you sip from the bottle like any one time use bottle. You can also leave the cone top off and drink from the bottom portion of the bottle just like you would a glass. The edges are rounded a bit so there aren’t any sharp edges. I used this bottle mostly during the day at work and found the ice stayed intact throughout the day. One thing to note is that the cone portion does get cold to the touch - so it might not be insulated like the bottom portion of the bottle.

What could be improved: it says 34oz, but I think that is either with no ice or would include the headspace in the cone, which would require you to fill the bottle from the small spout to get fully filled. It also says that it is car cup compatible. While it did technically fit, it didn’t go all the way in and only really fit because it was tightly squeezed in at the top. This is in a 2022 SUV model, for reference. This is easily fixed with one of those expandable cup holder attachments. There is not a handle which doesn’t bother me, but since it is a bit wider, some people may find it harder to carry for long periods of time.

Overall, this is a sleek bottle that looks really modern, keeps drinks cold, and does not use a straw. I have enjoyed and will continue to use mostly for in home use or at work.
