The thing with the Owala is not having to tip it. Ever. Freesip 4 Lyfe! And no awkward straw fumbling!

Owala … love their freesip spout where I can chug or sip. And their new slim design bottles are pretty good

You can pry my original Owala FreeSip from my cold, dead hands. It has everything I need. Handle, stays cold, fits where I need, zero leaking, straw and sip option, easy to clean, dishwasher fine (they say no, I’ve had no issue and always run it through), and have had mine for at least 5 years now. I’ve never even looked at another water bottle since I found it. Hell, I never really had a water bottle before it because none worked well for me.

I have a couple neurodevelopmental disorders so I'm pretty clumsy. I need: * a straw top to avoid dumping water on myself/up my nose; * insulation to keep my drink hot/cold; * a locking lid to avoid spilling liquid on my keyboard, throw it in my bag, etc; * to minimize plastic; * to cover the straw top so it doesn't get nasty; and * mostly dishwasher safe for cleaning up after non-water hot drinks. I have mix and match Zojirushi stainless vacuum mugs (get stainless so the finish doesn't chip and don't put the plastic locking part part in the dishwasher) and an Owala FreeSip (free from work) with a metal straw for when I need a lot more volume, like for sports practices.

I love my Owala FreeSip. I own two different sizes and they have been great. I had an issue where the button on the lid kept popping off, I emailed customer service and they gave me store credit to pick out a new top. They’re good on their warranty in my experience.

I got the owala free sip and absolutely love it. I used to work at an outdoors store so I've been through all kinds of water bottles over the years. For the price point I really love the owala. Nalgene is also an industry standard as well, I just personally prefer the owala.

With a new style of water bottle popping up every year, Which one have you stuck with?
Yes! I went from a 24oz freesip to a 40oz freesip to a 40oz sway. I love having the mouthpiece covered as owala does and it’s a nice upgrade on the sway to have it locked while using the handle too

I have 3 Owala free sips, but I take out the straw and just tip to drink. Easy carry, fun, colors, and does a great job.

I am sad to admit I have hopped on the hype train a few times. Hydro Flask, Yeti, and Stanley. The two that I actually still use are my Zojirushi and Owala Free Sip.

Owala. I’m lucky my husband broke it and i got the free sip. So definitely not bifl, but I need something that won’t leak and with a straw so I’ll drink more

Water Bottle to replace my girlfriend's addiction to Smart Water
I think your gf might be my long lost twin because this is also my wishlist. I have yet to find something that is 100% but these get the closest… [Gatorade Gx 30 oz. Bottle](https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/gatorade-gx-30-ozbottle-18gatagtrd30zgxbtcac/18gatagtrd30zgxbtcac) ^ it’s only 30oz - Nike Hypercharge Straw 32oz Sport Active Water Bottle ^found at Marshall’s in 2024. The straw/lid is hard to clean. [32 oz Wide Mouth Travel Bottle with Flex Straw Cap](https://www.hydroflask.com/32-oz-wide-mouth-travel-bottle-with-flex-straw-cap) ^not clear. This is the one I keep in my car since it fits in my Subaru cup holder. [Owala FreeSip Sway](https://owalalife.com/products/freesip-sway) ^ also not clear. Pretty much the same as the Hydroflask but a different design and different color options. Nalgene used to make a 32oz bottle that was taller than it was wide but it’s discontinued now. This was my favorite until it broke because it had a narrower spout. I’m excited to go through this thread and see if anything matches our wishlist.

I analyzed 80+ Reddit threads to find the best water bottles
My only expectations of my water bottle are that I don’t choke on the water, that it’s not metal, and that it doesn’t leak. The Owala Freesip makes me drink so much water! I can chug and I can skip. Excellent.

Water bottle recommendations?
We have 7 or 8 Owala Free sips. I only put them in the dishwasher, never hand wash. Bottle on the bottom rack, lid on the top rack, straw in the silverware cubby. Never had any problems.

Water bottle recommendations?
I've been dishwashing my Owala FreeSip lid for years, and it works great. I just pull off the straw and silicone mouthpiece seal, and put those in the silverware compartment. Lid goes on the top rack. I only drink water in my Owala, but it has always gotten perfectly clean in the dishwasher. I recently started dishwashing the cup as well, knowing that they so recommend hand washing for that part. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Looking for insulated 1 liter water bottle
If you want to avoid plastic completely, go for stainless steel inside and out. The Owala FreeSip stainless (not the plastic version) is solid, but if you want something more minimal, look at Klean Kanteen or the YETI Rambler bottles. Both are tough, insulated, and no plastic touching the water. Just double check the lid, some have small silicone or plastic seals, but no plastic contact with the water itself.

I really like (insulated) water bottles with a sip/straw type opening, but the straw always seems to crack within 1-2 years. Any BiFL type options?
Water Bottles, Tumblers, Coffee Mugs More | Owala® https://share.google/UvTKQDVqGfR5Hj1z9 The Owala freesip would be a great option. It has a unique opening that you can sip like a straw or tilt the bottle and chug through the larger opening

what's your ideal water bottle
The Owala FreeSip has been my holy grail bottle for the past five years. Straw and sip option was the game changer for me. 32 oz - perfect sizing, fits in the majority of cup holders. Flip handle for carrying/attaching to backpacks. No leak design (and have never had an issue). Metal body to prevent cracking/damage (have managed to dent it up over the years, mainly on the bottom; paint has held up extremely well when the abuse I put it through is considered). Fairly well insulated - keeps cold for an extended period, but this isn’t a major point for me. Weight isn’t overbearing. The seal is removable to deep clean (didn’t know this until a few years in, was perfectly clean when I checked it). I’ve machine washed it since I got it with no issues at all (they say not to, but psh). Texture is just grippy enough for me without having obnoxious handles/divots.

Water bottle that keeps water cold?
Owala free sip.

Water bottle with covered straw lid
Would an Owala bottle fit the bill? [This is their website](https://owalalife.com/products/freesip?Color=Spring%20Revival&Material=Stainless%20Steel&Size=24oz&selectionType=local). Their kids version is 16oz, otherwise the smallest is 24oz. I like them. If you have a strict limit on size, I have heard good things about Zojirushi bottles, and they have a 20oz model.

ISO: Strong Insulated Water Bottle
I'm very pleased with my Owala FreeSip. My wife has one, too. It seems rugged, although I've not abused it and it does keep ice for a long time.

I want to buy a good water bottle
For around the house/office I love the Owala FreeSip. I still have a bunch of 32 oz Nalgenes around for camping/hiking when I definitely don’t want the extra weight of the metal. If you go the Nalgene route make sure to get some of the inserts for the wide mouth tops, they make them much easier to deal with. Agree about not worrying about a warranty.

Best water bottle to take everywhere? One that can last very very long?
Ok, hear me out ik it’s the new “popular trendy” water bottle but the Owala free sip, have had mine for almost 4 years(before it was trendy) and love it, I am clumsy so I normally get metal water bottles to withstand more damage and it has held up! I quite literally set it on the back of my car and closed my trunk on it, my car trunk got dented, Owala went flying and is still somehow didn’t get dented? I also have left it on top of my car too many times and driven off, it has 1 dent from that but it’s probably happened 10-20 times. You can literally chuck it at asphalt and it would still be ok. If ur clumsy or forgetful the Owala freesip is the water bottle for you. :)
