S'well bottles....anyone have one?

Mominohio — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 18:43:19 GMT

Just came to my attention (but hey, I live in a cave sometimes!), supposed to keep things cold for 24 hours.

Anyone have them, and do they work?

I have some stainless Contigo travel cups, and with ice and water, they will stay cold for about that long in room temp locations.

Anyone have both and can compare them?

@Mominohio

Yes, I have two S'well of different sizes. I can fill one up with cold water, put it in my car on a 100 plus degree day while I am out and about shopping, and the water will still be cold hours later as I am in and out of my car. I haven't tried the Contigo, but I can say the S'well works.

My daughter has one. I like my Corkcicle one better.

I have one, but not crazy about it because you can't put it in the dishwasher.

I use Kleen Kanteens. I have different sizes both insulated and not insulated. I also have the pint cups.

Thanks for mentioning this @Mominohio !

I just ordered two. I keep one by the bed at night for morning pills taken before breakfast. I've used one that's like a thermos but it has a built in plastic straw. Nice, but not easy to keep clean, I have special little brushes, but I've read they commonly get mold in the "straw" part

I found the S'well bottles carried at Target, around $25 each.

I ordered one last year from Nordie's, but I sent it back. I did not like the texture of the lip/spout. I would have been drinking out of it and it was really sharp and uncomfortable. Maybe a fluke, but did not want to chance another one.

They're a little on the expensive side but may be worth it if they work as well as advertised. They have such a good selection of colors and and designs too. Very cute!

FYI:

They cost much more on Amazon than Target.

I got mine at a little gift shop in Sedona, AZ before they became popular. They keep drinks cold for a long time but it's a bit difficult to put ice cubes in them. If you want something you can put ice cubes in and have them still be there almost 24 hours later try the Hydro Flask. We use those any time we go somewhere and the ice keeps it cold even in 115 degree heat, which by the way will be here this weekend. 😎🌞😦☀️

Wow! Thanks everyone for the replies. Many of you listed brands I've never heard of, so will be checking out each one!

Great call out about the ice cubes, and thanks for that.

I mostly only take water in a bottle, and definitely want ice in it. So good to know (and I had noticed the S'wells I saw had very small openings, kind of making cleaning an issue too) that is a concern for me.

Noel7 — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 21:58:50 GMT

Comments I read about the bottle this afternoon said the opening is big enough to add ice cubes.

I don't know if they enlarged the opening or what.

i heard that the large size holds an entire bottle of wine......now THAT is a good feature.

@Mominohio oh my gosh YES!! And not one but several. I like the different colors/schemes- so fun and pretty. They are the best water bottle and I have my family all hooked on them because they all got them for Christmas. My mom loves the small one for her coffee because she never drinks it fast enough before it gets cold and it keeps it hot for a loooong time.

We add ice cubes in it with no problem but I often just use cold water without cubes because it will keep the water cold for 24 hours even without cubes. The cubes stay solid for a long time, lol!

It TRULY keeps things cold for 24 hours- we've put it to the test numerous times.

The BEST thing is that it doesn't make the water taste funny. I have bought soooo many water bottles over the years and I"ve never been thrilled with any of them until now. THe only thing I wish they'd do is a flip top spout to drink out of instead of having to unscrew the lid because that makes it a bit more cumbersome while working out (yes, I bring them to the gym-get many compliments for them)

You can buy some from birchbox and there is always a 15 or 20% coupon out there. Otherwise I don't know where you can get them on sale besides their website but those are very rare.

Here are some of the styles I have:

One of these will be coming home with me soon (in the largest size) from their galaxy collection :

@HappyDaze

I could not get pix to hold when I tried. Copy and paste hasn't been working here for me for a couple of days. Is there a new trick to it? I also have awful problems with the iPad, like many others.

Anyway, thanks for the pix. IMO the 25 oz size would be perfect for a road trip. I can see using one of those for a day for DH and I and bringing along paper cups.

@Noel7 I am able to do copy and paste on my laptop only if I actually open up the picture- it won't do it with the smaller pictures like if you google images- I actually now have to open the website page with the picture in it first and copy and paste (right mouse click...). I can't do hardly anything on QVC.com anymore with the IPad so I am happy to have my laptop back!

Yes, the 25 oz is great and what my hubby prefers. I personally only have the 17oz ones right now but will be getting a few of the bigger ones too.
