HYDRO CELL Stainless Steel Bottle Reviews Summary

Cap Design

Pros:

• "The stainless steel lid is air-tight, but the sports lid is NOT."
• "The flip up top is excellent and has prevented many spills already."
• "The sport lid with the flip up straw works great! It doesn't leak."
• "The metal then is 100% leak proof."
• "They send 2 different tops so you can decide how you want to drink you water: straw or screw top."
• "The straw top and the regular top are both very easy to clean, and the silicone seal inside the lids is easy to remove for cleaning as well."
• "However, when you have the bottle upside down, it leaks."

Cons:

• "You have to unscrew the stainless steel cap to drink from the bottle."
• "But my straw lid was spirting out air and water when I’d drink from it after less than a day."
• "The only thing I didn’t like was that the seal ring became loose on my bottle so I was unable to use one of the tops."
• "The bottle leaks when use the sports cap."
• "The rather stiff black plastic strip that attaches the stainless-steel screw cap to one of the bottles I use for water snapped in half and the cap was no longer attached to the bottle."
• "The lid does not close tightly so water spills."
• "The metal lid is pretty hard to close because the treads won’t lineup on the first try….2nd…or 5th time!"

Insulation & Temperature Retention

Pros:

• "I am the sort of person who will ONLY drink ice cold water, and I never have to worry about it with this bottle."
• "Ice sometimes lasts three days."
• "It keeps my water super cold- legit my ice will still be in there after 12 hours."
• "If you fill it completely with ice it will take nearly 3 days for it to melt."
• "I filled it with ice along with some tea and used it throughout the day, I refilled it twice, to my amazement 30 hours later this flask still had some ice left!"
• "It'll keep things hot for a good 8 hours."
• "It keeps drinks cold for a long time."

Cons:

• "I filled it up with ice and water, 2 hours later all the ice is melted."
• "Unfortunately, the reason why I bought it was to keep my water cold with ice for quite a while, not days, but several hours. And it did not do that job."
• "It does not keep water as cold for as long as my other one (my other one would keep ice for more than 24hrs even if left outside on a summer day)."
• "It doesn't keep my water as cold as I thought."
• "Great bottle, but the sport cap with straw leaks if it's not in the upright position."
• "However, when you have the bottle upside down, it leaks."

Durability & Design

Pros:

• "Another flaw is the outer layer of the bottle, which can get scratched if it is dropped from a high height."
• "It was knocked off the table but still no dents."
• "The handle on the top makes it easy to carry or attach."
• "This thing is a tank!"
• "The bottle is very well insulated, it is easy to clean, and very portable (depending on the size you order)."
• "The bottle is very durable."
• "My HydroCell still looks new (despite multiple drops & bangs)."
