Takeya Originals Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Graphite Reviews Summary

Insulation and Temperature Retention

Pros:

• "Although the ice melted, my water was still cold! From about 4pm to 6am the next day!"
• "This water bottle does exactly what I got it for. It keeps my water cold all throughout the day, doesn't sweat, definitely comparable to the Hydro Flask."
• "Keeps ice for hours so your water stays cold."
• "Keeps drinks cold, with ice, all throughout the school day."
• "Keeps water cold all day with ice usually left after 24 hours."
• "It keeps my water ice cold for an entire day, even when I accidentally leave it in the hot car for a couple of hours."
• "Keeps liquids cold or hot for a very long time."

Cons:

• "However, for some reason, after filling them with water and ice, they wouldn't stay cold after less than half a day and the ice would melt within a few hours."
• "It's not double insulated so any cold water in it will be nearly room temp within half a day."
• "This bottle keeps my drink cold for an hour or 2...not 12 like it says."
• "Ice melted sooner than expected compared to the hydro flask bottle of the same size."
• "The contents do not stay sufficiently cold anywhere near the length of time claimed by the manufacturer (24 hrs)."
• "If you want your beverage to remain cold for more than 30 minutes, this is not the bottle for you."
• "The ineffective insulation is an absolute deal breaker for me, especially on a bottle I spent $40+ CAD on."

Design and Durability

Pros:

• "The wide mouth makes cleaning with a bottle brush a breeze, but even better, it is dishwasher safe!"
• "It's easy to clean, lightweight, and the handle is great and won't hurt your fingers."
• "Love how easy this is to clean. Two parts, the lid and bottle, that’s it!"
• "Very durable, the ability to customize the bottle to your preference."
• "i swear this is indestructible. ive been using it daily (for water only) since 2019."
• "The carry handle is a bonus as you don't have to hold the entire bottle in your hand."
• "These bottles have traveled far and wide and still look like new."

Cons:

• "With metal you get dents, plastic has some give and flex. I put a big dent in this metal thermos in the first month."
• "It also scratches easily."
• "The bottle itself is heavy and clumsy when carried."
• "Mine came with 2 small dents in it."
• "However I dropped it once and it dinged up and chipped fairly easy compared to other brands I've owned before."
• "The smallest drop on the ground will dent the bottle."
• "Disappointed that it came with a dent and the stainless steel seems very thin on this water bottle compared to my Klean kanteen."

Lid and Leak Prevention

Pros:

• "The threading in the cap and the lid are wide so its difficult to miss when youre screwing it on."
• "Keeps ice frozen for several hours, and, most importantly, it DOES NOT LEAK!"
• "Most importantly it does not leak!"
• "IT DOES NOT LEAK!"
• "The lid/cap is solid and don't leak."
• "Its leak proof. The lip is secure.. it's easy to clean and easy to hold."
• "Keeps drinks cold or hot pretty well and completely leak proof, what!!!"

Cons:

• "I hate unscrewing the mouth piece to drink."
• "The only knock I have on it is with the lid. While in theory the lid is amazing, if my bottle sits on its side water will collect inside the cap and then fly out when I open it up."
• "Mouth piece is... bad. Like, really, surprisingly bad."
• "This leaks and pours out all over you when you take a sip."
• "My water bottle arrived without the seal in the cap of the water spout, so it leaks."
• "It leaks because the gasket in the lid is messed up."
• "Unfortunately it started to slow leak, ruining one of my external hard drives."
