Watch This Before You Buy Another Water bottle | Owala Freesip Review

[@UnicornTears12]

Just got one of these. I'd been using a generic plastic bottle for years. I'm loving this bottle and wish I had it years ago. I wasn't even particularly worried about the insulation but it delivers. Just so nice to know that water's going to be nicely chilled. I doubt I'll ever need to find out if it really lasts 24 hours but it stays cold as long as my water's in there. But the game changer for me is that spout. It's just so simple when you think about it but it just works so well.

[@tristbrook]

That's great! Totally agree. The drinking spout has made such a difference

[@Reddylion]

For home i prefer 1200ml straw one. For travel anything that will keep warm or cold without spilling, and a car holderr will help.

[@tristbrook]

Hey! Hope you got some value from this super short video. Here is a link for the water bottle - amzn.to/4aU3ED3

[@brandondeauville4738]

super high quality video! better than some creators with millions of followers! keep it up!

[@tristbrook]

@@brandondeauville4738 thank you so much! Means a lot 😁

The free sip feature makes me an Owala buyer. The moms can keep their Stanleys.

[@MarilynOrnelas-fp7xo]

I had this water bottle owala for a year and it the best water bottle I ever had

[@Grave666-x2m]

Please Owala Free-Sip water bottle link isn't working 😢

[@tristbrook]

It might depend on the country you're in. It works for me (based in the UK). If the link isn't working just search for the bottle on amazon or on their website. I'm sure there are loads for sale

Two issues with Owala water bottles: 1) The exterior surface is slippery as a mother if it gets even a slight amount of liquid on it which is bound to happen when filling. I returned it for this reason alone. Infuriating slipperiness. I was thinking of buying latex tubing to tie on a two-ended handle to slip my hand in, etc. but I just went with the Contigo lock-top 32 oz. and Coleman 40-oz lock-top, neither of which are slippery when wet. The Coleman doesn't seem to retain cold as long as the Contigo and it does seem a Stanley handle would be nice (along with the narrowed base for car cup holders). 2) The plastics in the lid are cheaper and retain odors. I got a two-pack from Costco and one lid retained a muted and unpleasant Earl Grey Tea scent and the other got a sort of musty scent to it, not sure from what, but opening the bottle after washing it presented the smell of something you'd expect to find at a thrift store, not less than a month old and properly cared for and washed.

[@tristbrook]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing your experiences. I've personally had none of those issues. I actually just got the bottle wet to see if would make it difficult to hold and there doesn't seem to be an issue. I've also never experienced any weird scents. Did you buy the Owala free-sip? Maybe there is a difference between the ones sent to the UK and the US. Such a shame. I hope you find a good one soon that's right for you :)

[@user-ue4he3li8b]

The perfect "big" waterbottle would actually be those "Simply Grapefruit" bottles, with the narrow neck and wider base. If only they weren't plastic. A plain steel one would be great, no need for vacuum-double wall either, the shape is great for large volume. In the same size as the juices but also maybe a taller one, same footprint. Nothing fancy for the lid, but a lanyard so it can hang off the side while drinking so it could be a one-handed affair.

[@user-ue4he3li8b]

@@tristbrook There might even be a difference in the two-pack versions for Costco or bigbox stores. It was definitely the FreeSip. The plastics used it in seemed to be of a slightly lower quality/density (hard to say, like variance between car interiors, some seem "cheaper") The exterior surface has a fine small-grain dapple to it, and when wet it's a real bear to keep it from slipping through my fingers. The Coleman bottle has a similar texture, but no slippage. (This one: "FreeFlow AUTOSEAL® 40 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle") It felt like some kind of prank, like "how could they DO this to me?" XD

@@tristbrooknah king you did a great job and the Owala is a solid product. Some folks just don’t clean their product properly

[@P4P4Lui]

It says that it’s only good for water on their website

[@juancarlos131291]

We need an update on the Owala! I've been using mine for a couple of days and I like it. Would love to hear your opinion after almost a month!

[@tristbrook]

So far it’s been perfect. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. You’ve made a great purchase. 😁

[@juancarlos131291]

@@tristbrook Let's go! Glad I picked the best one out of the bunch! Cheers!

[@kenneth_effect]

Getting one of the iced breeze 32oz water bottle on Friday! Super excited!! 😆

[@miaking3710]

Really excellent review video!! Thank you!!

[@rosally]

What's the bottle like when it's filled with carbonated water? I've read that it officially doesn't hold it but would be interested in ur experience with it. I really like their design but highly prefer carbonated water...

[@tristbrook]

@@rosally I wish I could help you but I only ever put still water in my water bottles, sorry

[@brynnchristensen2005]

Hey! Considering buying one of these... as a avid water drinker, I'm thinking about buying a 40 oz bottle. Do you think that after being filled the handle will be flimsy, or break off?? Looks a little thin and 40 oz bottles do tend to be heavy when filled, and I can imagine the handle not being great in that case, but then again I could be wrong. Is it a sturdy handle? And another question, does the material on the lid get dirty easy? Saw a review that mentioned it and I'm considering getting the all white color. Thanks for the help :D. Take care and keep doing what you do!

[@tristbrook]

@@brynnchristensen2005 hey! Although it doesn’t look it the handle is very sturdy. I often carry it from the handle when full or hang it on hooks etc. I had the same concern but it’s honestly been okay. I haven’t noticed the material on the lid getting dirty however I have bought it in grey so it could be concealing it. The material is quite soft so I can see how a white version could hold/show dirt. Hope that helps 😊

[@brynnchristensen2005]

@tristbrook Thank you so much!! And a question that I've had but can't find in the videos is is the straw easy to drink out of or awkward at all (compared to most other bottles)? I'll probably use the straw the most and I still want to be able to comfortably chug out the straw, lol. Thanks again 🙂

[@tristbrook]

@@brynnchristensen2005 No problem :) - The straw is very easy to drink from, I use it most of the time and it's the easiest I've ever used

[@brynnchristensen2005]

@@tristbrook Thanks again! Take care 🙂🙂🙂

[@WasifAnton]

Nice video, Any update about Owala?

[@tristbrook]

@@WasifAnton thank you. It’s still a great bottle and no issues so far

[@girlgreenivy]

I just want to know if these can handle hot beverages. I'm a hot tea drinker.

[@tristbrook]

@@girlgreenivy because of the straw included I’d say no. But I suppose the straw could be removed and it would be fine. However I’d recommend getting a dedicated hot drink flask.

[@Onelittleearthling]

Sold , I would like dis bottle

[@Obedthian-UK]

How is it now?

[@tristbrook]

@@Obedthian-UK still perfect. No complaints at all

[@sharonramirez6665]

Could I use this bottle without the straw?

[@Nicospitia]

You can still use it regularly to drink like a regular cup, bottle, etc. The straw is just there so you don't have to tilt it to take a drink.

[@tristbrook]

@@sharonramirez6665 definitely!

[@Owen-r3e]

just bought one😊❤

[@Isaac2001Ike]

I love the style of your videos, surprised you don’t have more followers. However! You spent 2.5 minutes talking about what it didn’t do and just 30 seconds reviewing the actual bottle. Should’ve been the opposite in my opinion. I would barely know what’s it looks like had I only watched this video. Guarantee that if you fix the story line of your videos, a lot more people will watch.

[@tristbrook]

Thank you for the feedback. I originally filmed more good points about the Owala but felt I was repeating myself too much after listing a bunch of things that makes a water bottle good around the 30s mark. So figured highlighting the main stand out feature is all that needed to be spoken about. I will definitely consider your points for the next video I make :)
