Contigo Steel Water Bottle, 24 oz, SS Monaco

So I had a previous Contigo plastic style water bottle and before this one that seemed like it was as good as it could get. Then I gave this one a try and it did everything a little better except one minor thing that I can live with. So it keeps my water cold longer than any previous water bottle and the drinking button has worked flawlessly. It's easy one handed no mess drinking which is the main thing I wanted. Filling and cleaning are easy as well. It has a little flip up loop handle built into the cap that can be used for carrying or attaching to something. The drinking location has a small flip up protective cover that's very easy to manipulate one handed. This cover is nice in case you accidentally drop this onto a dirty surface. So for these reasons it's my favorite water bottle. If I had to find something to complain about it'd be that when I dropped my previous plastic style one there'd be no real damage. On this one the base has a metal cap that when dropped gets minor dents. These dents don't interfere with drinking or keeping your water cold. They also don't cause any leaks. However they do slightly change the base so that it doesn't have as flat of a bottom anymore. Not a deal breaker by any means I'm just being picky. I take it everywhere and live an active lifestyle so it gets dropped often and only the base cap has very minor dents, everything else is like new. I highly recommend this water bottle, I won't leave home without it!

I'm impressed! This turned out to be a very good solution to keeping drinks cold while traveling in the car or while golfing. I've only used it once so far, but it kept ice for 5+ hours with outside temperatures in the lower 80's. I originally thought that the polished stainless steel surface might be slippery, but it didn't seem to be a problem at all.The bottle never leaked a drop even when laid on it's side in our refrigerator and one-handed, push-button operation is also a great feature. All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase.The packaging & shipping however left much to be desired... It arrived in a standard plastic mailing envelope with no padding or protection whatsoever. Upon removing the label & plastic wrap from the bottle, I noticed that it had 2 dents on the bottom as shown in the picture. As far as function, it's a really small deal. As far as buying something new that you assume will arrive undamaged, it's fairly disappointing - all the more so since I actually paid an additional $5.99 for shipping this one item.In the end, I decided to keep the bottle rather than go through the return process because I really wanted to use this bottle now that we are finally getting some warm weather in Michigan. I'd just hope to encourage Amazon to change the type of package that these bottles are shipped in.

My wife and I have had many different water bottles over the years. It always seemed like there was some major flaw with whatever we purchased. Many of them leaked or didn't keep water cold for long. Some where awkward to drink out of and I frequently would up with water down the front of my shirt if the bottle was full. This water bottle is spectacular!It keeps our water cool for hours. If you add a little ice you may still find that you have some ice left after 3-4 hours. The lid is truly leak proof. When you drink, you get just the right amount of water. The button allows for easy one hand operation. I have dropped it several times on hard surfaces and the bottle has only received minor damage and continues to work perfectly. The only negative to this water bottle is that the lid is hard to clean. I have some brushes of varying size that I use. They work pretty well. I would definitely recommend this water bottle.

These bottles keep your water cold for hours and hours, they def keep ice up to 24 hours. My kids beat them up on a regular basis and they take the lickin and keep on ticken. They are completely leak proof, throw them in soccer bags and don't worry everything will get wet (unless the lid isn't completely on...). The only reason I have to buy more is that my kids keep leaving them places!! I put our name and number on the bottles and somehow we just never get them back :( Prob because they are so awesome. One downside is they are a bit heavy, but my 3 year old could use and carry around with no issues.

I bought two of these and I love them. They keep the water cold for hours, but I do have some complaints.1 - Sometimes water seems to leak from the rim when drinking. It can be hard to determine *why* it happens, but it gets to be a bit annoying, especially because I bought these to replace a different bottle which was doing the same thing.2 - The AutoSeal is really nice, but the plastic piece which closes can start to get gross and cleaning it is a little difficult. The best way that I've found is to take a soapy rag and push the corners into it as much as I can to wipe off any residue build up. Then, rinse thoroughly.I don't use it very often, but there's a nice cap on a hinge to cover the mouthpiece. That can be useful if you're throwing a filled bottle in a backpack or suitcase and want to make sure if the button gets pressed water doesn't leak out. Although, I've never tested if that actually helps prevent water from getting out.I have 2 so that I can rotate them when the other is being washed. I always wash the bottom in the washer and hand wash the top. I've never had an issue with the AutoSeal breaking or leaking, so I'm happy. If it weren't for those couple complaints I'd say these were 5/5.
