Functionality & Features

  • "When I knocked it off the ottoman the straw snapped in half."
  • "It is not completely leak proof."
  • "But it doesn’t keep the water cold as long as I expected it."
  • "It does leak if you turn it upside down."

Durability & Quality

Pros:

  • "Mine has been solid even after bumping it into quite a few countertops and dropping it more times than I'd like to admit."
  • "The cup feels very sturdy and will hold ice with no issue all day long."
  • "Super sturdy, great colors."

Cons:

  • "It broke after 5 weeks, half of that time I didn’t use it, as I was on vacation."
  • "Silly me, the lid didn't fit properly from the beginning... now it's clearly leaking -- but my amazon return window has closed."
  • "Even when I ensure the lid is properly screwed in. Wanted to love the product but it’s just not working as advertised."
  • "Today I just added 2 16.9 oz bottles and it fills it right to the bottom of the lid threads. It is NOT 40 oz as advertised."

Insulation & Temperature Retention

Pros:

  • "Keeps ice cold all day ( I work outside in FL) still ice in my cup at the end of the day 7 am-5pm."

Cons:

  • "I have to fill my cup multiple times a day in order to have ice....I don't like that."
  • "But I put ice in and it will be melted within 2 hours."
  • "I have bought a lot of water bottles and I love the free sip Owalas, but this does not keep ice like a Stanley or a yeti."
  • "But it doesn’t keep the water cold as long as I expected it."
  • "I thought this cup would keep my ice from melting because I bought the other cup for my son and he will have ice for days and days but this one doesn't do that."
  • "They do not hold ice as long. My ice lasted until about the end of the day, but that’s it."

  • "First, it's too big to fit in my cupholders in my car."
  • "The only thing that might be an issue is that it's so large/tall."
  • "Only wish would be for the company to make them dishwasher safe."
  • "The tumbler itself is not dishwasher safe and requires hand washing, which isn’t ideal."
  • "I was a little disappointed to find out that you can't sip through the tumbler lid with the straw installed."
  • "It's tall so if you have a cupholder that has limited vertical space, then this probably won't work."
