Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Thermos Stainless-Steel 22-Ounce Leak-Proof Hydration Bottle
Customer Review: I can't go anywhere without my thermos!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Thermos E5 a couple of months ago, I must say I have been very happy with my purchase. If you need something that can hold cold drinks cold for HOURS. Yes the capital letters are a little dramatic but I have been very impressed. I tried the ice cube test myself. 24 hours guaranteed. The chug style opening is perfect. The 22 Ounce capacity is just right. I can go shopping on a hot day leave this little sucker in the car and I can expect to have a cold drink when I get back. On the flip side if you are in the cold where it's freezing. The liquid inside wont freeze. =) If you put an ice cold drink...4 hours later it will feel the same as when you poured it.
**only small ice cubes can fit the opening. The trade off is that this thermos can hold drinks cold for a long time.
It's expensive, but worth it.
Customer Review: I love this bottle.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this bottle now for several years. I just love it. It keeps drinks cold for an amazingly long time. I once left it in my car for a weekend during the summer, sitting in the hot baking sun for 2 days, and when I finally went and got it the water was still slightly cool - the ice had of course melted by then, but the plastic (disposable) water bottle that was also in my car felt HOT to the touch. Amazing! It is also very rugged.. I've dropped this thing more times than I can count. I have a few tiny dings/dents in the metal, but it doesn't effect anything. The lid is made of plastic and probably more vulnerable to breakage, but I've been lucky so far as it hasn't fallen on its lid.
The lid is wonderful. The drinking spout is protected under a cover so it does not get dirt on it.. also, it has a nice big opening. It is very comfortable to drink out of. The button for opening the lid does not require that much pressure to click closed, or to press open -- this is good for someone like my mom, who has arthritis in her fingers. When you do press it open, it kind of springs open by itself, making it very easy to use with only one hand. There is a metal loop thing around the button that you can close to prevent the button from accidentally being pressed.
When open, the lid stays out of the way -- if you push it all the way open it sort of clicks into place (it doesn't really click, but I don't know how else to describe it), but I don't normally do that, and I've still never had the lid close on me while I was drinking out of the bottle.
Also, as long as the rubber gasket/ring thing is in place on the inside of the lid (where you screw it on), it DOES NOT LEAK. Not a single drop. When the lid clicks closed, it is sealed.
Cons:
-It's pretty heavy, even with nothing in it. I think it's worth it to have cold water ALL DAY though.
-If you wash the lid in the dishwasher, the rubber ring inside is likely to come off, and it blends in so well with our white dishwasher that it is often very hard for me to find. Now, I take the ring out before putting the lid in the dishwasher and I just wash that part by hand. Actually, I usually wash the whole bottle by hand since I want to use it ALL the time, and I don't want to wait for the dishwasher to run. I only use it for water, and I'm the only one who drinks from it, so I do not wash it every day. Maybe every 4 or 5 days.
-I did have some problems with the lid that came with it. It was defective, after only a few months the plastic button started breaking off the lid (and this was before I ever dropped it). I wrote to the company to complain about it, and they replied that if I sent them my address they would send me a new lid. They did! I didn't have to pay for shipping, and I didn't have to send the old lid back to prove that it was broken. I really like this!
Customer Review: Ice cubes the next day, yeah!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this water bottle to keep my water cold and after trying many other drinkers, I saw this Hydration Bottle by Thermos. I was looking for a drinker or bottle that had a CHUG style opening, no baby rubber straws that flip up, or inside straws that fall off when you add ice, I wanted something that would give me water on the spot and was easy to load with regular sized ice cubes without cramming them down with the pick action of a spoon handle. I also wanted something sturdy, a bottle that could withstand a direct drop onto a concrete driveway when my water bottle falls off the floor of my truck and out onto the concrete. First, let me tell you...this gem keeps your water freezing cold more than a day long! I still have ice cubes the next day! Also, this awesome water bottle holds enough water to satisfy me much longer than those wimpy kindergarten 12 ouncers. I don't like to run out of water, I live in the desert! The bottom has a rubberized base to eliminate scooting and also offer some protection from drops. Also, it's completely spill, drip, and leak proof, absolutely! The super cool push button flip open lid gives you instant clearance to chug a gulp of water, this is particularly nice when you're driving and you don't have an extra hand! The surface of this hydration bottle stays condensation free, no wet hands! I fill this every morning and don't leave home without it, I like having water with me all the time but am picky about quality water, so I take my filtered water, no thanks Aquafina bottle water, I'll bottle my own for free. I love this product, If it ever breaks, I'll buy this same one again!
A NOTE: This hydration bottle would be perfect for carrying baby formula in, especially if you're traveling, on vacation, on a plane trip, going to be away from home all day. Your formula would be plenty warm and ready to fill more than one bottle. The hydration bottle would relieve your worry of spoiling your formula or needing to find hot water quickly somewhere to mix your formula! I wish I'd had this when I was a new mom!
RECOMMENDED
Another note: 2 years later, the latch on the pop up screw on cap broke, and the Coleman product support doesn't carry replacement caps for this model anymore. They do offer a new model of this same Hydration bottle, called E2 I believe, same great features, and best yet, fits into most standard auto cup holders!!!! The older model did not.
Customer Review: It Works!
Summary: 5 Stars
Now, you do have to have some common sense here. Pre-heat the thermos with hot water before you put the food inside. After the metal inside warms, it does a phenomenal job of insulating and keeping food hot! Cold food, does well too. And, it's as tough as advertised. If you've ever dropped a glass-insulated bottle you'll love this thermos!Customer Review: It's Hot and it's cool!

Lives up to everything it promised to be! 24hr hot and 24hr ice.. does not leak! a little manly looking for my taste but it works! One sl improvement would be that it would fit in my car's cup holder.
