Contigo Ashland Chill Water Bottle

Great quality and maintain temp cold

Love these. Keeps things cool and hot. The straw function is perfect. The color fades after heavy use.

I love the contigo brand, idk why, they are well priced, reliable, and cool looking. Benefits of this: easy to carry, doesnt leak, and the straw is way easier to drink from than i thought it would be. Even if the straw is at an angle, the water doesnt slow down when drinking if that makes any sense. Downsides: when you press the button to open the straw, it flicks a couple drops of water at you. easily solved by aiming it away when opening. Other “downside”, due to the nature of my job it is super scratched all over. so, not scratch resistant, at least not versus impact with dropping on gravel, rubbing against rusty metal objects and wood… but also. i dont know a single water bottle that is resistant to that that has color. so really thats just my fault for not looking for a stainless steel one

It will work great for about a year. Unfortunately the rings inside will wear down and liquid will splash when you shake your bottle to mix your favorite powder drinks. Tried to replace the rings but that didn’t work. Had to buy another bottle.

Winner winner by far the best water bottle drinking lid ever. This lid actually works not leaking and stays working for years and years. Note I never run the lid in the dishwasher, I just rinse it under hot water; and occasional shake the bottle with a drop of dish soap. This bottles opens with one hand, with push of a button. As the mechanism is inside the bottle it doesn't get accidentally opened like other designs. I am very pleased with this product. How happy this is the only water bottle we use except huge two liter water bottles with simple screw tops. After using this and similar Contigo bottles for years we have a big box of retired bottles in the basement, some expensive, other with logos, to good to toss out but not as good as this style. I gave several Contigo bottles of a slightly different model with a very similar type of lid as gifts to my family eight years ago I see them still in use today. I bought these two new ones here a couple of years ago for my son as he had carried his original one to school and soccer for six years and while still working fine it was beat up and he kept "accidentally" taking mine. As long as these are used only for water they do not leak and will look good and work well for many years. I have used mine for tea and various flavored sugar free drink powders so mine is stained inside the lid, but still working fine. These two new ones are working just fine for my son two years later. I do not recommend these for drinks containing milk due to the need to actually clean the inside of the lid rather than just rinse it if used with milk; this said I have use mine for hot chocolate in the winter many times, it just takes a bit more attention to clean it after use. If used for drinks with solids like orange juice pulp the solids can interfere with the lid seal. The instructions say not recommended for carbonated drinks; I concur after getting sprayed with a face full of diet soda when I didn't hold the bottle upright before opening it.

As Durable As A Single Sheet of Wet Toilet Paper. Let me paint a picture of the brutal, high-stakes athletic life this water bottle has been forced to endure for the past two months. My "intense" workouts consist of me, at the gym with my personal trainer, successfully lifting the 45-pound bar. That's it. Just the bar. No weights. My greatest athletic achievement is not pulling a muscle while getting out of my truck. This bottle has been treated more gently than a Fabergé egg in an earthquake. It's been exclusively hand-washed and has never been dropped, thrown, or even looked at with aggressive intent. And yet, after only a couple of months of this pampered existence, it falls apart. The little milky-white silicone piece that connects the internal straw to the mouthpiece—the very soul of its drinking mechanism—has spontaneously developed a tear-hole I could stick my pinky finger through. The "leakproof AUTOSPOUT" is now about as useful as an ejector seat on a helicopter. Sipping from it is a gurgling, air-filled tragedy. I'm truly baffled. For a brand like Contigo, I expected a bottle that could at least withstand the sheer force of being lifted to my mouth by someone whose primary form of cardio is walking to the fridge. I've had cartons of milk in my fridge that have demonstrated more structural integrity and longevity. So, if your daily activities include competitive napping or you need a sleek-looking paperweight, this might be the bottle for you. If you actually plan on drinking from it for more than a few weeks, I’d suggest you keep looking. This thing couldn't handle my lifestyle, and frankly, that's saying something.

Great value and keeps drink hot for hours. Doesn’t leak and easy to hold with its handle.

Definitely keeps the water as stated. seals completely. The size is very ergonomic and allows you to grip it securely. The color is baked on very well and is quite appealing. The weight is easy to manage, empty or full. As with any new product, washing is a must. After which I detected no odour. The design makes cleaning very easy; the straw is very securely attached, which is a must for these flasks.
