Stanley Quick Flip Bottle Charcoal Reviews Summary

Lid Design & Functionality

Pros:

• "I especially appreciate the lid design and functionality, easy pop up locking lid with a unique drinking opening that delivers a more satisfying volume."
• "This bottle has been nothing but amazing! I've been looking for a bottle that will keep my water cold and has a lid that will not grow mold like most other ones and this one has been the perfect one!"
• "A button pops the top open for quick access to drink, it closes with a push, and locks with a simple metal latch."
• "I love the quick flip lid because it is easy to clean and where you put your mouth is not constantly exposed to the surrounding environment."
• "It is easy to open with one hand to drink, and close to keep clean."
• "The lid lock ensures no accidental spills while in a bag or while shopping."
• "Lid locks to prevent accidentally opening and spills, but unlocked is easy to open with a push of a button."

Cons:

• "Once the liquid gets inside the lid, beyond the rubber stoppers, that little bit of liquid can spill out from under the lid."
• "The lid doesn't lock back when you open it so it hits you on the head when you tip your head back to get the last of the beverage."
• "Even when it’s locked, it drips from the sides."
• "the rubber seal inside the cap does not stay in place and creates a leak every time I drink from it."
• "Only complaint is the lid gets in the way when trying to sip."
• "The lid does not lock in an open position so it falls onto your face when drinking."
• "The lid smacks you in the face because of the way the lid is hinged on the bottle."

Temperature Retention

Pros:

• "This bottle really keeps the temperature of the water; you can have it with ice even a couple days."
• "Keeps drinks soooo cold."
• "It really does keep hot things hot and cold things cold- for the number of advertised hours."
• "Keeps hot stuff hot for a really long time."
• "Keeps my fresh well water icy cold overnight, or for many hours in the daytime, and travels well."
• "Keeps your cold drinks very cold all day."
• "LOVE this! It really does keep hot things hot and cold things cold- for the number of advertised hours."

Cons:

• "It can only keep iced water mixed with ice to stay ice cold for about 3-5 hours, depending on how much ice you put in."
• "the remaining liquid in there wasn't even icy cold."
• "I filled it up with ice and water and each time I used it the ice melted within an hour or so."
• "Even after an 8 hour day in the mountains the water is still warm."
• "first of all, it does not keep pot fluids hot for seven hours, maybe 3 1/2 to 4 if you want it hot."
• "The water still leaks a bit through the straw seal."
• "it also has like this after taste of what you had in it before so sometimes my water tastes like coffee or soap."

• "Very good quality."
• "The design is cool. It’s a perfect size for me."
• "The perfect shade of orange!"

Cons:

• "It went into the dishwasher as it says it’s dishwasher safe. Wife takes it out and it is discolored permanently."
• "it got all marked up after only one day in my backpack."
• "We only had it for about a week when the blue coating started peeling off."
• "Our pink one did show lead. That’s the picture above. Red or pink indicate lead is present."
• "It looked like someone had sliced the side of it with a knife."

• "It’s heavy."
• "The bottle is too wide for normal hands to be holding it."
• "It doesn’t fit into most standard cup holders."
• "When you get to the last of the water the flip lid rests on your head. A nuisance. Is NOT lavender like advertised. It’s grey."
• "Wanted for my car, however, with the lid up you can’t see."
• "It’s impossible to drink out of the bottle if you are wearing a hat or cap and turning it sideways."
