Contigo AUTOSEAL Chill Stainless Steel Water Bottle, Dark Plum

I purchased my 24 ounce Contigo water bottles in December of 2019. They have been dropped too many times to count. After four years of everyday use, they are still in great working condition.I’m handicapped, so I need a water bottle that I can operate with one hand. The 24 ounce size is large enough to last for hours at a time, and small enough for my small hand to operate. The 24 ounce size is also perfect for most cup holders.Before I go to bed at night, I fill my water bottle with ice and water to drink during the night. In the morning, the remainder of my water is still ice cold with some of the ice cubes still remaining.My husband and I both love to travel. Whether it’s in the bottom of my purse, bag, or backpack, I have never had an accidental spill.If you are looking for a sharp looking durable water bottle that can be operated with one hand, keeps beverages cold for hours at a time, and is easy to clean, you can’t go wrong. I highly recommend this product.

I purchased my first bottle from Walgreens over 2 years ago and because I loved it so much I purchased 2 more from Amazon. They keep iced drinks very cold and they stay cold for HOURS! I’ve picked up a bottle in the evening that I filled the previous morning to find it still had ice in it! Can’t get much better than that! I especially like that this bottle is easy to drink from. You don’t have to unscrew anything or pull a cap off, just push a button and drink. It automatically seals when you release the button and it WON’T leak! The carry handle and the extra cap that covers the spout (for cleanliness) are both great features. The only thing that detracts from this product is that it is heavy but it is indestructible too! My first bottle looks like it has been through a war, it’s dented all over but it is still just as good at keeping drinks cold as the new ones. I would highly recommend!!

This is my favorite Contigo sipper. It holds a lot, it keeps my ice drinks cold, and the carry handle helps me from dropping it. News flash...if you drop your stainless steel items on cement, they will dent. I pack my sipper everywhere and this is my second one with a handle. I love the dispenser. You push the button on the back and a flow of liquid comes through the top mouth piece. If you drop it, it seals and no spills. My 4 and 6 year olds can operate it. One final thing is that it is easy to clean and sterilize..all parts are accessible. I bought a sipper with a straw once and had to throw it away due to mold..I was constantly bleaching it to alleviate that problem. I do not like the slide tabs on the tops of some sippers. They dump the liquid in the lid and you drink off the top of the lid.I do not pack this with me when taking walks because it is heavier full, but I have a nice cool drink of water waiting in my car when the walk is over.PS If you are a coffee drinker or a hot drink drinker, your beverage will be HOT much longer. I got my coffee drinking siblings these for presents and included the warning with the gift. Two siblings called to say they burnt their mouths on hot coffee. HOT!

I bought this for my son as he works construction in all kinds of weather, especially hot sun. I liked the little built in handle and the mouthpiece cover to keep dirt out. Plus it can withstand bumps and bangs and keeps on going.The contents do stay cold for 24 hours. I fill my 20 oz with pre-chilled water or lemonade and 4 ice cubes. If I put more ice cubes in, it is too cold to drink comfortably! Does the job even at the beach, sitting in a hot car or on the job site. Add one more cube if your liquid is not chilled.I have had several Contigo's and love the stainless steel models with the locking spout (NEVER had a leak). Also love the ones where the lid opens up so I can get a toothbrush into the lid's workings and get it really clean. I've never seen a "cheap" Contigo. All seem to be made of excellent materials and function for a very long time. I will continue to buy Contigo's whenever I need a good hydration bottle.Warning: Etch an identifier into the stainless steel models or mark your plastic models w/a Sharpie. Once I left a ss model at the hairdressers; came back 30 mins later and it was gone. A stylists name Jasmine said it was hers and left with it, per info from the receptionist. Jasmine denied everything and I had to buy a new one.

Finally!! The holy grail! I used to have an under armour (made by Thermos) stainless steel vacuum bottle similar to this for years but the lid was made of cheap plastic. Just falling over would put a crack in the flip top and render it useless. BUT I really liked the design otherwise.KEY things you need in a good water bottle:1) Keeps things cold for >12 hours (this reports 18 and I believe it if kept full...obviously if volume is low, it won't stay as cold as long).2) Durable (let's face it you are going to drop this eventually)3) ONE-handed operation (who has time to use TWO hands...I mean your phone is likely in the other, am I right?)4) Handle...this one is great as it is there if you need it and hidden when you don't...again, multi-tasking...I often am juggling many things and to be able to carry 24 oz of ice cold water with my pinky finger, I'm happy.5) Size. 24 oz is key. 18, 20 are too small and I don't like having to keep stopping to refill this throughout the day.Cons I would have to say if you want to use this for anything other than water, it may be hard to clean the top as it has a push button (opposite where you drink) that opens the opening for drinking and there is a complex mechanism inside the underside of the cap...it is dishwasher (top-rack) safe and so I'm fine with this as I only use it for water.Overall, a great WATER canteen. And in my opinion, the BEST for your money....I've been looking for quite a while.
