BUZIO Insulated Stainless Outdoor Cycling Reviews Summary

Leakage

Pros:

• "The twist on cap remains attached to the bottle which is a great feature for me."
• "The strap is durable and still works allowing me to sling the bottle over my shoulder."
• "The lids do leak a little unless you REALLY torque them down."

Cons:

• "It leaked allllll over my stuff for work and ruined a book I needed for work."
• "If you use the straw cap.. it WILL leak. Maybe not this time, but next time."
• "It leaks like crazy!!! :("
• "I was sitting on the couch and the bottle was next to me, felt something wet and it had been leaking the entire time."
• "It tipped over on my seat and lid was on very tight but still leaked."
• "It leaks, in purses, bags, onto seats."
• "Every time I go to drink it, it leaks significantly."

Temperature Retention

Pros:

• "After cleaning throughout- I put Ice inside at 4pm and two days later the ice was still in this item."
• "Keeps water cold for days."
• "It will keep it cold and still have ice in it the next day."
• "Keeps Ice water cold for two days."
• "WOW! Filled it with ice and 72 hours later there’s still ice in it."
• "I can put ice in it in the morning and still have ice 24 hours later!"
• "Keeps my water cold all day, I can put some ice and water in it in the morning and still have ice the next morning."

Cons:

• "It did keep my liquids cold, but not for the 48 hours as it says. It keeps it cold but for only up to 8-12 hours."
• "Well it doesnt do what it says!! I fill it up with ice and water and take it outside with me to mow, it's 85* here in NC, overcast day... the next morning the water was already room temperature!!"
• "It’s not great at locking in the cold cause it’s usually warm when I wake up if I don’t put fresh ice before bed."
• "It doesn’t stay cold for very long."
• "It's been about 3 months now since I purchased and used this product on a daily basis... Mine barely lasts 12 hours full of ice."
• "The ice doesn’t seem to last 4 hours even sitting on the kitchen counter!"
• "Looks great, feels great, but I bought it to keep my water cold... the Ice still ended up melting a couple of hours in the day."

Design and Durability

Pros:

• "This is our third Buzio bottle... Excellent products."
• "The bottle is impossible to hold without the carrying bag due to it being extremely thick."
• "I really appreciate that the lids are interchangeable between sizes unlike Hydroflask."
• "I love the colors of this bottle. My main reason for buying this particular one was the carrier/case that came with it."
• "The sleek design and durable stainless steel construction make it both stylish and practical."
• "It's made of stainless steel, interchangeable with standard tops from other brands, and comes with a bag to help you lug it around."
• "Very well made sturdy bottle."

Cons:

• "I don't think the material is tough enough: The silver metal strap clasps, as well as the D rings they attach to are thin and flimsy."
• "One did get a dent when my daughter dropped it off a picnic table."
• "The outside neoprene sleeve is nothing like the original. It's thinner, cheaper."
• "The soft shell seems to be poorly stitched and that’s my only knock. The soft shell is the only handle you have. As you can see by the photos, it has split at multiple seams."
• "The actual strap lost a hook on me because it was sitting under a Toughbook in my work truck, when I tried to pull it out it somehow ended up snapping one of the hooks."
• "The powder coat finish isn't super durable, though, many scratches already."
• "It leaks quite a bit with the straw cap and is easy to dent which really sucks."

Smell and Taste

Pros:

• "It's super easy to clean and doesn't hold the smell of anything you are adding to your water."
• "Keeps water so cold and crisp even after a full day of being under the sun!"
• "After soaking in vinegar (and then rinsing well to get rid of the vinegar smell) the metallic taste was gone!"

Cons:

• "When I opened the bottle it would smell totally like a toxic, plastic-y smell."
• "In the middle of the night I went to drink some water and when I opened it there was a horribly strong smell from the bottle!"
• "I noticed a heavy chemical smell from the bottle halfway through the day of the bottle sitting in my truck."
• "The bottle has this weird rubbery like or chemical smell that is so strange."
• "The interior of the bottle also smells like the bag, which has not gone away after repeated boiling water + soap rinses."
• "The case had a very strong chemical smell when I first received it."
• "The only thing I don't like is the metallic taste the water gets from sitting in the bottle."
