What is the Best Water Bottle, and Which One Should You Get? (The Ultimate Guide)

i didn't thought ever i would be needing a guide to buy a water bottle but oh well, great video btw

GREA REVIEW, SO I can buy one now ,with your great u-tubes. THANK YOU!

[@bottlepro3252]

You can find anything on KZbin! Hope the video helped.

[@TomiBorchert]

You need reviewd for every product nowadays. Companies are exaggerating and even lying on their products. Shady marketing. At least in my country it's ok to almost lie about product to sell it.

[@novianne7084]

LOL me too w

[@TheMultipower47]

So niche but so helpful for people like me that overthink every purchase. Thank you for such a detailed video!

[@bottlepro3252]

Thanks for the comment! Bottles are so expensive nowadays that it doesn't hurt to take a second look before buying one. A lot of times less expensive ones are just as good or even better, but it all comes down to preference and what you're looking for!

[@maxschmidt666]

Got a Yeti mug as a present many years ago..NGL it feels so good to hold and use that I just love using it. Although they are super expensive, I appreciate them every time I can use them.

[@meea1994]

I just switched to Camelbak because they have a great variety of lids that fit any bottle and they are also available in a plastic bottle version which is lighter and prevents dents. I love them! I used to have classic klean kanteens with a narrow opening and this was such a wrong decision 😖 they only have a loop cap which is sooo uncomfortable to drink out of (especially of the larger capacity bottles), I very often spilled so much water on my face. The sport cap are great to drink out of, but there are not leak proof and I often had wet bags due to constant leaking. Also there is no chug cap (leak proof and easy to drink out of) or a coffee sip cap for the narrow ones. Klean Kanteen offers all these caps only for the wide bottles. I wish I bought the wide bottles instead of the narrow classic ones, but I just didn't think of these issues back when initially buying them.

[@Not-px7vd]

I can't get enough of your videos! One small suggestion. I'm hard-of-hearing, and the background music is so loud that it's difficult for me to hear the spoken words.

[@bottlepro3252]

Thanks for the suggestion! Yea, I meant to adjust the audio some but forgot (brain must have been fried after all the video editing). Will do it on the next ones though. If more people reach out about this issue then I might adjust the audio and re-upload this one, but it's off to a good start and I don't want to mess with the KZbin algorithm, haha.

[@lawrencespicher1769]

I have had the Camelbak Chute Mag for about 2.5 years. I take it with me everyday, everywhere I go. I absolutely love it. I have dropped it countless times, off balconies, motorbikes - you name it - and it is still going strong. Couldn't recommend it more.

[@bottlepro3252]

They're pretty solid bottles! One complaint I had though after using one for a while was that the folding plastic hinge design for the spout cap didn't always line up easily when I went to close it (hopefully it wasn't just user error...). Other lids with traditional hinges like Takeya's and FJbottle always line up because they rotate around a metal pin. It's not a deal-breaker by any means, but it was a little inconvenient compared to some other bottles. Still a great brand and bottle! Also curious since you've used yours for a few years...is that folding plastic hinge holding up fine? I was concerned that might wear out after a lot of use, but I haven't personally tested mine enough to know.

[@timlaunyc]

@@bottlepro3252 I'm not the person you asked, but I've had a 32 Oz chute mag insulated bottle for 6 yrs. It's no longer my daily driver due to my obsession with ice, but the lid is still fine after 4 years of use and 2 more years of lighter use. The bottle and lid survived some bad drops onto pavement and rocks. More recently I bought some 50 Oz chute mag plastic bottles, which share the same caps, and they are working well as water reservoirs or water pitcher replacements. The biggest weakness of the chute mag is how hard they are to clean since the gasket is hard to remove. Aside from that, yeah, the cap can get annoying to put back on with the weird hinge. At least it's not as bad as the previous chute line (pre mag) where the cap would just slap you in the face if you let go while drinking. As an aside, my daily drivers for vacuum insulated bottles are the Yetis, in various sizes, since the opening can just fit my roughly 2" (tapered) ice cubes. The Yeti caps have no issues with gasket removal for cleaning. The gasket cleaning is the biggest reason why I went from having 0 Yeti Rambler water bottles to owning 3 sizes in a matter of weeks (26, 18, 46).

[@CloudslnMyCoffee]

I carried a Nalgene for years, but I really need something that fits a cup holder. I like the Stanley because it reminds me of a reusable Sonic router 44 cup. I also find wide mouth east to open or accessible straws easiest to use. If it takes too much effort to drink out of it, I just won’t.

[@Saltytoxico]

Basically came here to find out what container other than a glass I should put my water in. I now have the answers I needed.

[@bottlepro3252]

Glad it helped!

[@opheliakaindoy5017]

Love my HydroFlask w/ sip lid, bought also a separate lid w/ straw, & bottom protection.

[@benjaminzipser6021]

Ok, real question here: Why is bottom protection necessary?

[@applepie8019]

If your looking for a simple water bottle made out of metal that's not necessarily keeping your drinks Cold/Hot, I can really recommend the urban ones from 24 bottles, they are so light and easy to carry around, almost like one made out of plastic

[@puspitasarikamawidjaja793]

Agree, I have more than 7 24bottles.. urban, clima, tumbler.. the best

[@grayisgood]

Takeya Actives lid is also insulated so no condensation on the bottle at all, and better insulation. I saw a video test of how long the ice lasts vs yeti and takeya won. The details really do matter, you need to know what you will be using it for and what you like. I need something I can carry in a bag that will not come open. Lots of "spillproof" or "leakproof" will come open in a bag. I want not too heavy. I want insulated. Don't want a straw, they're harder to clean, more pieces to break or lose, often limit how much you can drink at once. 24oz is usually more than enough for me but I'm in the city so refilling the bottle if necessary shouldn't be too hard. The handle flipping up or down is good for in a bag or carrying by hand. It's easy to clean. My previous purchase was shaped more like a bottle with large-ish shoulders and you have to be sure to scrub the shoulders inside and the water doesn't drain all the way out so getting it thoroughly dry is a chore. Just got a takeya actives and I think it's the best I've found yet.

[@bottlepro3252]

Thanks for pointing this out! Looks like I need to buy an insulated Takeya lid before our next insulation test. I didn't realize they had those, but they look pretty sweet (especially the one with a built-in ice blocker).

[@grayisgood]

Allowing a cup/bottle (anything) to be clean and completely dry for hours is necessary to kill germs. Germs stay alive in water. They die after hours without water, including any moistness like bits of food or like a damp towel. It must be completely dry.

[@loopyzreal]

12:49 Yep, definitely. When I found out too that FJBottle is a main manufacturer of Hydro Flask, it’s no surprise their own bottles (which cost a fraction of HF) perform around the same.

[@bottlepro3252]

I didn't realize they make Hydro Flasks, but like you said I guess that would explain a lot. I test a lot of bottles, but I keep finding myself going back to the FJbottle I have in this video. I wish the spout opening was a tiny bit larger, but all the other aspects of it make it a really good all-around bottle imo.

[@loopyzreal]

@@bottlepro3252 Yep, I found out by searching “Steel Technology“ (dba. Hydro Flask) on matchory, and seeing that Feijian (dba. FJBottle) was the largest manufacturer. Would be interesting to hear your experience with the insulation, as compared to the Hydro Flasks!

[@imscanon]

I've been using only S'well bottles for well over a decade. Most everything I drink I use one. Stays cold for days, hot all day and never spills. Only one I'll use. Fits nicely in my small hands and bottle sleeves and doesn't look like I'm toting around a huge bottle. I have every size and lots of colors. You won't find a better bottle.

[@bottlepro3252]

Yea, honestly I hadn't tried S'well until this video and it was long overdue. That bottle tested really well in a followup video I did about insulation with triple layer bottles like S'well vs traditional dual-wall vacuum insulation bottles. S'well and another brand (RevoMax) had the best results by far compared to all of the other bottles. I'll be getting a wide-mouth S'well early next year to do another insulation test at some point (wide-mouth vs narrow-mouth focus).

[@imscanon]

They are the best. I was in KC on vacay and I had taken the train there and flew back (schedule thing) so I brought a bunch of S'well bottles w/ me in various sizes for drinks enroute and to use there. I got a box of wine there and didn't finish it so I filled up all the bottles with it and put them in my checked suitcase. It was a turbulent flight, fire underneath somewhere, diverted back to O'hare then transferred to another plane to continue on. Not one drop leaked from any of the bottles in my luggage and 2 days later when I finally unpacked the wine was still cold (and that's w/ fire near it, we had to put our feet up on the plane as the floor was so hot. So yeah, they've never let me down. lol I've trained myself to take a drink and recap because if I knock it over, it won't spill and I do tend to knock things over a lot or just toss in my purse and go. lol Their can coozys are great too. I don't have any wide-mouth ones, but I have every size of the regular ones and several of the 17oz ones. I just wouldn't use anything else. Some are over a decade old and still goin' strong. Few drops of bleach now and then, shake, rinse, and they're perfect. Most days just a good rinse and shake is all you need.@@bottlepro3252

[@pinkyellowblue007]

Camelbak Chute Mag is by far the best and most rugged one I've had, I've used a couple for years without a single issue.

[@bottlepro3252]

It's a pretty solid choice. The design of the plastic hinge for the cap gets on my nerves a bit and I'd rather have one that rotates better like a Takeya, but that's just my preference and is really the only downside I've seen. I honestly need to test it more since we only got our Chute Mag more recently than some of the other bottles.

[@dainasourRkr]

[@anmolagrawal5358]

14:00 This one instantly stood out to me.

[@bottlepro3252]

Yea, the two tea strainer sizes are really cool to have! Interestingly, this bottle tested really poorly in an insulation test I did after this video. Still really like the concept of this bottle though, and it's probably the best one I've seen for tea.

[@jenweatherwax7113]

This was very detailed but didn’t have the only two categories I consider when buying a bottle. Will it keep it cold ALL day? How durable is it - if I repeatedly drop it will it break?

[@jamesivan2877]

Great bottle breakdown video. I havn't been total satisfied by the bottles i have but now can make a better choice. Thanks!

[@katexxx365]

Personally, I believe that Burga bottles top all of them. I think it's the quality and how they feel in your hand that really sets them apart from other brands. And believe me, I've tried numerous of them

[@QwertySpaceOfficial]

Great video. That FJ bottle has me tempted. But, I think I'll stick with my Thermos water bottle. It's incredibly easy to open/close with one hand as it uses a button, it has a great seal, and it's very easy to clean. Sadly, it's now discontinued. However, they've replaced it with the Thermos Tritan Hydration Bottle, which seems just as good honestly. However, the texture on the bottle is more annoying.

[@logi-a]

I think that the Stanley iceflow cup is the perfect choice for everything. Convenience Fits everything Leakproof keeps your Drink cold or hot for hours And so much more. I highly recommend and I don’t understand why people don’t talk about it as much as the regular Stanley

I got a set of two Thermoflasks from costco and they're great although I will admit they feel slightly less premium than Hydroflasks, and I don't like the spout cap with the rigid handle (same as in the video). I also have a Takeya with the hinged handle and love it! It's a large enough loop to be super easy and comfortable to carry, and can be tucked out of the way easily.

Is there a tea insert that you can buy that fits stand mouth hydro flask? The wide mouth version doesn't fit in a standard bicycle water bottle holder, and I do a lot of bike riding and would love to be able to brew tea on the go.

[@bottlepro3252]

One option might be Rumble Go. It's larger than what you'll need since it's made for cold brew coffee, but it would still technically work for loose leaf tea. The silicone on the top and bottom could help minimize rattling that you'd probably get with many other stainless steel drop-in filters. It's sized for wide mouth Hydro Flasks. I have one, and it's pretty nifty. Here's a link to their Amazon listing (we earn a small commission if you buy through the link, so thank you!) amzn.to/48QiIlj Our FlavorFuze Steel might be an alternative. There's a mini size included that we sized for loose-leaf tea, and it rests on the rim of the Hydro Flask so it doesn't drop all the way in. However, we mostly design it to be used in the kitchen to brew tea real quickly, then take out the insert, add your bottle lid, then head out the door. We include an o-ring to help it seal after screwing the Hydro Flask lid on while the insert is in the bottle, but honestly it's a really tight fit for the lid and you can't screw the lid all the way on. I probably wouldn't trust the lid to stay on with biking because of the vibrations. Hope this helps!

[@DeuryMota]

[@crudolol]

Thank you very much for the Video. I chose the fj bottle since it only costs 16€ in Germany and takeya costs 50€. I took the 800ml, not sure yet If I will swap to 1000ml. I wish it would fit my cup holder and would be dishwasher safe tho. Is there a bottle that is like fj/takeya but thinner so it fits car cup holders and cleanable via dishwasher? That would be perfect! Size Minimum 700ml would be cool. ❤

[@bottlepro3252]

I think best "All Around" is HydroFlask 24oz light weight. If you need use it at car, just buy flex straw lid. Now why 24 oz? Because is best compromise between 24oz, 32oz and 40oz. Cuz 24oz has got "normal" height and just 282g, so if you calculate it - density is approx. 0.00041 lb/ml. 32 oz has got density approx. 0.00049lb/ml. And 40 oz has got density approx. 0.00047lb/g (i'm talking about H.F. lightweight series). So, how you can see, 24 oz is best compromise by the weight, height and density for edc use :).

Nalgene wide mouth lid cap has become the standard in the water bottle industry.

[@ciannacoleman5125]

Good video but i think it would have been worth mentioning CamelBak has a semi-universal lid & the offer about 6 different cap styles, plus a tea infuser. It is an extra cost but since you plugged your products for Hydroflask it would have been worth mentioning. It looks like your fruit infuser is plastic, is there a reason for that when your other infusers are metal?

[@bottlepro3252]

Very good comment and question. Honestly, we have some catching up to do with Camelbak. We've historically been mostly focused on Nalgene, Klean Kanteen, Hydro Flask, and YETI, and we are still learning more about other major brands like Camelbak and S'well. I'm thinking about doing a Brand Highlight kind of video every month or so that dives into each brand's offerings, advantages, and disadvantages. Both as a way to share with our viewers, but also to educate myself more on brands like Camelbak. We started with the FlavorFuze Pod and Straw fruit infusers because we saw more potential sales with fruit infusers compared to coffee/tea. And for fruit infusing, you don't typically need a fine mesh like you do for loose leaf tea or cold brew coffee, which is where fine-mesh stainless steel infusers really come in handy. It was also easier for us to get started quickly with plastic and silicone parts based on our experience and connections (from making our BottlePro cup holder and SplashPro splash guard earlier). Hope this answers your question!

We were originally going to include that, but the video was getting to be too long so we split the insulation test into a different video. That video focuses more on what makes triple-layer bottles different from standard dual-wall bottles, and then we did a couple of tests. One test standardizes the caps so we're really just measuring heat loss through the body of the bottle to satisfy our curiosity about whether the triple-layer body helps, and the 2nd test uses the manufacture's lids since that's the more practical result that matters for how you'll use it.

[@Care2WorldBuild]

Compared to the HydroFlask, I thought the Costco ThermoFlask or Takeya were such a good value (minus still using lead and leaving us to add extra lead into the world which hurt so many; unless we remember to find a proper way to recycle them and keep them from any reach of children especially if the paint wears off). Otherwise, their parts are nearly interchangeable depending on the bottle style. However, it seemed with my hard water that the seals just got disgusting and became difficult to clean. They sell replacement seals, and you can get them for either brand. In the end, it seems I should just pay up and get something like the HydroFlask trail series which doesn't contain any lead as far as I know and also doesn't need seals without adding more supplies to replace.

i am thinking of getting a sip bottle i will primarily be using it for water but i might use it for coffee do ypu recommend a sip lid for water or should i avoid it

[@bottlepro3252]

When drinking only water, we prefer spout lids most of the time because it's easy to drink water more quickly without it spilling. Sip lids restrict the water a little more in most designs, so it's just a tad less convenient. It's not a big issue though. Sip lids are still okay for water, and since you might be using coffee some too, a sip lid might be better anyways. That extra restriction can help prevent accidentally drinking too much coffee and burning yourself.

[@stacyroberds1421]

Almost completely thorough, but as to ice it was only mentioned as to keeping it secure in the bottle. My biggest concern is which one keeps the ice from melting the longest. Anyone?

[@bottlepro3252]

I put insulation tests in a couple other videos for the sake of time since this video already seemed pretty long. I wanted to dive deeper into some subjects (like what is triple-layer insulation), so I split them into different videos, for better or worse.

[@michaelsnedeker5555]

i am interested in using a metal bottle for insulation to use in a hot 180 degree sauna that wont be to hot when i pick it up. any help would be very helpful

[@callingofcreation6420]

I really had this issue for a while now, i can´t find the right bottle for two liters without plastic. I want that kind of product.

[@jacobovelez5711]

Hey! Can I use an insulated bottle that I usually use it for cold water and then used at any time with any other drink (will it affect the flavor of water after using it). And what about using it sporadically the same bottle with a hot drink? Or should I have a bottle for cold drinks and an other one only for hot drinks?

[@bottlepro3252]

Switching between hot and cold shouldn't have an effect on the bottle itself, but I could see it leaving a residual taste, especially if you drank a strong coffee or tea or something like that. But get some of those bottle bright tablets and that should take care of any stains or leftover tastes that soap and water might not handle. Those tablets work great!

[@grayisgood]

I had powerade in my cup for a few days and when I had water I could taste the powerade. But just fill it with water and let it soak overnight and the residual flavor should be gone. Worked for me. Also adding baking soda may help, I never had to try it. If it doesn't work then you will want a different cup for the different drink.

The under armour plastic bottle I bought 20 yrs ago is still working fine.

[@bottlepro3252]

Yea, they last a long time. One thing to be aware of about plastic bottles that old is that they might have BPAs in them. Most brands switched away from plastic with BPAs in the late 2000s. Some people are OK with the BPA risk and honestly the true risk isn't 100% known, but quite a bit of data that seems enough data out there that shows it could have some negative health effects that you might want to be aware of it. Food for thought!

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Are any made in America? Best for hot coffee?

[@RichardsWorld]

No test to see how long ice stays unmelted? Or hot drinks hot?

[@bottlepro3252]

I did some tests like that in a couple other videos. I wanted to talk more about insulation (like what is triple-layer made of) and felt like this video was already pretty long, so I split the topics up, for better or worse.

[@chezkaborromeo2237]

You did not include the Aquaflask brand which is very affordable and great quality. More design and colors to choose.

[@bluetoothtv]

nice vid👌 new subs here😁

[@bottlepro3252]

Thanks for subbing!

[@ferryhmm]

Can't believe there is no Zojirushi here. I've been through quite a few bottles myself and Zorjirushi bottles top the charts in pretty much every metric.

[@bottlepro3252]

Yea, that's been the 2nd most-requested brand after Owala over the last year. I just did an Owala video after buying one of those, and I hope to buy a Zojirushi for a review within a few months based on all those comments. Time to reinvest some of that KZbin ad revenue that's started trickling in now that we're finally monetized, haha.

[@marsjayte9437]

why does my klean and kanteen TKwide rust inside? if its stainless steel

[@Pattymelt415]

What about the types of stainless? I just discovered that a so-called stainless bottle from Temu had lead in them. Yikes. I looked up the codes.

[@stewartmelzer939]

I dropped my bottle with the flip up spout the pin that secures the spout to the cap broke off can't use it now

[@Taru1393]

I have to buy many time this one brand here that starts with M n bru the bottle only last 3 years max before it becomes weird n taste weird so ya gotta check a review to know which one is worth it

[@inso80]

Why would you recommend drinking while driving?

[@exagem]

Lead not mentioned?

[@tommyp4630]

Owala Free Sip = the only water bottle on Time Magazine's 2023 Inventions of the Year list

[@MedusaCharms]

Hydroflask!!!!!! I got my first ever hydroflask yrs ago and that baby is still alive and kicking!!! Shes retired now coz its vintage lol!

[@bottlepro3252]

Making me feel extra old by calling Hydro Flasks vintage, haha

[@Purplefrog03]

I live in Sweden and I loooive my Everest water bottles, unfortunately I don’t think you can get it anywhere else than Germany and the Nordic countries.

[@bottlepro3252]

I hadn't seen those before. Thanks for mentioning them. They look pretty solid!

[@bunnykawaii]

review the larq!

[@bottlepro3252]

We included them in our most recent video about really innovative bottles! Here's a link if you're curious. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raeXhXaXa6yhaJY We haven't personally tested it yet, but we're looking forward to getting our hands on one next year. We just hit 1k subscribers and should start getting ad revenue, so we'll be investing some of that into more bottles like LARQ's UV sanitizing one. Can't wait to try it out!

[@MyLifeAsItIs_DidiC]

I love how i have 1 yeti that i can have multiple different tops

[@bottlepro3252]

Yea, thankfully most brands including YETI design their lids that way. You usually just have to check if it's a narrow vs wide mouth lid, but some other brands get tricker like Klean Kanteen (lids for non-insulated wide mouth bottles are different than lids for insulated ones).

[@CosBar_]

Sigg bottles are the best overall, in my opinion. I especially like their original bottle. I'm surprised you didn't include this brand in your selection.

[@bottlepro3252]

Yea, they're on our list to get. We try to buy one new bottle with each video. Can't afford to get all of them all at once, unfortunately.

[@anouaressanoussi]

Expensive and looks like travelers

[@emilialacsi5170]

Aquaflask is the best

[@bottlepro3252]

A lot of people say that! I still need to try Aquaflask one day.

[@bella11110]

May I know what's the name of the color of your hydroflask? 🧡😇

[@bottlepro3252]

Mesa. It's a good one!

[@idandan9999]

Surprised Contigo is not in the list
