BlenderBottle Strada Insulated Stainless 24 Ounce Reviews Summary

Insulation and Temperature Retention

Pros:

• "It keeps my protein shakes nice and cold all day!"
• "This keep the ice cold all night!"
• "Use everyday and keeps mixed electrolyte drinks cold!!!"
• "The cold insulation in this bottle is great - a solid option for mixing and taking on the go. Keeps protein shakes cold for long enough to enjoy."
• "This insulated one doesn't sweat and it keeps drinks cold."
• "I fill it with ice in the morning and it still has ice the following morning."
• "It keeps drinks cold well over 24 hrs!"

Cons:

• "So after 3 months start to leak on the top when is shaked."
• "One thing to keep in mind it's very heavy and hard to shake well so you need a lot more power and ferocity."
• "I poured cold milk and protein into this before going to the gym. It’s 54 degrees out and this sat in my car. From the 2 hours since I poured it to the time I drank it, while it was still 'chilled' it was definitely no where near as cold as when I poured it."
• "Although the insulation works, I have to drop an ice cube or 2 to keep my protein drink actually cold, the coldness of the almond milk (from refrigerator) is not enough."
• "Once I forgot it in the car for hours in the heat and when I got back the water was still cold."
• "The drink (with a few pieces of ice) stays nice and cold, just like I like it!"
• "I'm very impressed by the insulation! I put some ice in the bottle and then forgot about it for a day and most of the ice still remained."

Build Quality and Design

Pros:

• "Great blender bottle! No leaks when making your shakes or mixes."
• "The lid is excellent, best I have used, the button and lock work great and the seals are a great addition."
• "It has a lock on the top that slides so that the tab won't open."
• "The rubber gasket is easy to remove and wash."
• "This is an awesome shaker bottle. I used it with whey, creatine, collagen, and peanut butter. They all mix well."
• "The metal finish provides a good grip, and the locking lid is a nice touch to make sure you don't make a mess."
• "With the whisk, it’s easy to mix up a drink in it."

Cons:

• "Wish the loop on the lid was hard plastic and not so pliable."
• "If you remove the silicone seals, it takes a bit to get them back on properly."
• "The lid and spout broke very easily after being dropped from a normal carrying height."
• "The shaker is great, except, it leaks like crazy."
• "Not all the tops of the bottles are transparent. So I can’t see how much liquid is in the bottle."
• "The big downside for me is that the lid has a strong plastic smell so when you drink from it, you get a strong plastic smell when you drink your shake."
• "Oh, and if you accidentally drop it on a hard surface, it will dent easily. 😕"

Usability and Convenience

Pros:

• "Easy to clean."
• "I can finally put a shaker bottle in my work bag without worrying about it, spilling and leaving a stinky mess!"
• "Good product, kind of annoying that the lid is dishwasher safe but the bottle isn't."
• "Easy to open the flip top to drink."
• "I truly will never use another shaker bottle. This keeps ice cold for hours for when I’m at the gym drinking water."
• "I love this water bottle!!"
• "Size is perfect not too big and not too small."

Cons:

• "You also have to be careful that the lid shuts completely before traveling and shaking."
• "I’ve always only ordered from BlenderBottle but this one sucks."
• "Works great for mixing, but is not the most insulating."
• "It's not a small bottle (diameter wise) so people with smaller hands or challenges with grip will have a hard time opening up this bottle for cleaning."
• "Most water bottles drip when I drink from them. This one does not. It has the perfect top. My only suggestion to buyers is, don't carry it around by the rubber handle at the top."
• "The O-ring gasket between lid and bottle broke within days of having the bottle, which caused it to leak profusely when shaken."
• "But as a lawyer who works at a office desk this thing always leaks."
