Amazon Basics Large Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle, Spout Lid, 30.1 ounces, Gray

Nice sized container. Double walled stainless steel container keeps ice-cold things cold for hours and hot things at least warm for the same. Well-built. Steel cleans easily and is odor free and does not hold on to tastes from different beverages. Carrying handle well-made and makes it easy to carry with carabiner clips on backpack or belt. Too big for most bicycle bottle holders, so be aware of that if you're a cyclist. I like the dark gray color too.

Works great. Keeps ice in my water all day. I have been using this on my commute for six months now, even in the heat there is always ice left in the water at the end of the day.

This is the 2nd thermos-type "water bottle" I've bought in a month.-- The first, more expensive, actual Thermos brand 24oz ended up being the right size to replace the daily-use, plastic water bottle I was carrying in my tote-purse. But, a tad too small when trying to put two cans of bubble water in plus fresh squeezed citrus/pulp/peel AND ice.-- This 30 oz., generic Amazon brand bottle was the max size I was willing to go to fit in those 2 cans/citrus without moving to one with a formal handle; as, I became concerned of being able to grip with one hand while full of liquid. It met my expectation very well.-- The slick finish takes a larger, full, strong hand to grasp & pour with one hand. Something to consider if buying for a youth (recommend 24oz size thermos instead) or hand size/dexterity concerns.-- The unit is spill proof, but ONLY when the simply designed lid AND cap are fully screwed on (lid screws onto bottle, and attached-cap screws onto lid).-- This is NOT a one handed flip-top, rather a screw top that flips back (yes, rachets into open position so does not flip back closed when in use); so, either two hands will be required to unscew lid, or one if user has the dexterity and surface to set thermos on.-- The spout is easy to drink from. The liquid flows uninhibited. A straw can easily be inserted, but not spill proof at that point.-- 3" diameter bottom feels stable enough, but no rubber to quiet setting in down or grip better to surface set on. Also, it does NOT taper, so it does not fit in my van's dashboard or console cup holders.-- It comes with a built in carrying handle that lies flat when not in use; but, the plastic looks like it will be the first thing to break off after a few drops...and, the screw on attached-cap a close second (which would then negate the spill-proof function--time will tell, as this is 1st day own this new product type).-- Good, wide mouth (2.25") cup opening with a small, curved inside edge. Wide enough to fit a standard kitchen sink scrub brush (unlike smaller 24oz other brand I purchased that requires an actual bottle brush).-- See pix for grip size, surface, lid, inside curve, and outer metal ring a carbiner-corded handle (not included) fastens over well (but takes some effort).

This is just a basic water bottle. It seals well and does not leak. The metal is a bit thinner than other brands. I wan flex it just by squeezing it with a moderate amount of strength. That makes me think it will dent easily. It is not anythign special when it comes to keeping the temperature of the liquid. IF all you want is a simple bottle that you are not worried if it gets damaged this is the one for you.

Keeps water very cold

Perfect cheap bottle for work, and still does the job. Compact, doesn’t come with a cleaner so you will have to buy one to fit inside so you can wash it I recommend a stick brush because a big hand like mine won’t fit inside.

It was a great water bottle until it started leaking. The lid doesn’t have a good deal with the bottle so it leaks. I end up having to tightening it as hard as I can to minimize the leaking but it still happens. The grey lid on the part where you drink from also leaks. And the threads on it stripped after a while. Now If you tighten it a little too hard it’ll strip the thread and come undone again. The handle is also a hard plastic which hits against the metal constantly and it’s super loud. I’m not sure why they didn’t make that handle either shorter or a softer material that wouldn’t bang against the metal bottle so loud.TLDR: It’s a great water bottle for a bit, before it inevitably falls apart. Then it gets really annoying.

I bought this water bottle for a Cruise. I figured if I had to go and walk halfway across the ship for water, I wanted to fill up once and take it back to the room.I was very surprised when the water was still ice cold when I woke up in the middle of the night even more surprised when it was still cold the next morning when I woke up. I was absolutely floored when the water was still cold and holding ice at lunchtime.I thought I would never use this bottle after the trip I use it frequently. I just took it on another trip. I brought the bottle empty through TSA and got a cup of ice and filled it up for the flight. It was also great to have in the car and besides my bed in the hotel room.I like that you just have to unscrew the cap and drink. I hate the straws because they take much more to clean, the cap comes off easy to fill and the handle has been great to use with the carabiner to clip to my bag or it fits in the Pouch on the side of my backpack backpacksI use this thing all the time. It’s one of the better things I bought and I am very pleased with it. If you’re on the fence, get it it does a great job.
