SHOStainless Steel Water Bottle - Leak Proof, BPA Free, No Sweat, Vacuum Insulated Double Walled Metal Flask - Original 2.0-12 Hours Hot 24 Hours Cold

I own several of these bottles in a variety of sizes. They keep drinks hot for hours, are sturdy, easy to clean, stand up to the rigorous of daily usage and still look like new. In three years I have had one top that needed replacing and within 48 hour of emailing the company I had a replacement. A great flask from a very good company.

Purchased two 500ml bottles to give me cold water to top up my insulated camelbak 'eddy'. Didn't intend to drink from the opening but I'm pleased to say that this is not sharp and would be perfectly acceptable/comfortable to drink from, should you choose to.I wanted two different colours so I could identify different contents easily if necessary. Ideally I would have chosen white and black, but black was out of stock at the time so I ordered stainless steel instead.Unfortunately the stainless does show fingerprints as I had anticipated however this is not a deal breaker as far as I'm concerned as their requirement was primarily to be functional and not 'pretty' although aesthetically they are an elegant looking bottle.Now for the important bit...Having only had them a couple of days I can't comment on their watertight properties yet but will be monitoring this on Monday when I take them to work.Cautiously optimistic re their claims of insulation effectiveness I put them to the test.In an ambient room temperature of approximately 23 degrees,I filled one with boiling water and the other with water chilled from the fridge. I was a little disappointed that the neck opening (30mm) was slightly too narrow to comfortably get an ice cube through, but undeterred I was able to add 4 small cubes with a little gentle persuasion.After 4 hrs the cold still had ice chips, no condensation on the outside and was a really nice ice cold drinkable temperature.The hot had steam and was extremely hot (too hot to drink straight away) I tested hourly from then on till 12 hrs.Both were still impressively working at that point so the next time I checked was at 25.5 hrs.The hot was still warm enough to drink and the cold still cool enough to be acceptable to me.At 28 hrs they were still doing their thing, albeit much less intensely now and so I gave up at this point as I was impressed enough.They both had more than proven their worth .!Compared to the non insulated plastic bottles I have been using , where the ice has disappeared within an hour of being at work these are brilliantly impressive. The diameter of the bottom of the bottle is approx 70mm which fits easily into the cup holder in the centre console of our car, however as they are quite tall it will be more convenient to keep them in the inner door pockets instead.So, having been highly sceptical I'm very pleased with the performance of these bottles thus far and so impressed I'm considering getting a litre bottle for the car so the dogs can enjoy ice cold water too.Will update if the paint starts to chip or the tops leak over time.27/06/2017 UpdateNo leaks from either bottle, however as a reviewer elsewhere has observed, the powder coating on the coloured bottle (white in my case) scratches easily..be warned!

I can't recommend these bottles highly enough. I've bought two now - one for work and one for my bag.They live up to their claims in terms of maintaining the temperature of their contents. They're all-metal construction, so no worrying about glass inside. The stopper fits well, and the seals are robust and effective.I've bashed them around a bit too. It's normal to have these things take a bit of abuse, especially if they're out and about with you, but the powder coating is holding up exceptionally well.They're as easy to clean as any other water bottle. Generally, if you don't leave leftovers inside for ages and rinse them after you use them, then you're fine. If you do want to clean them more thoroughly, the neck is more than large enough to stick a bottle brush inside and scrub it. I use Milton sterilising tablets to get rid of smells. Fill the bottle with cold water, add one tablet, leave for half an hour, empty and rinse. Spotless. The outside you can wipe clean.These bottles look good too. I don't want something that looks like I'm playing soldiers, nor something that's going to look out of place on my desk in the office. It ticks all the boxes. A high-quality item that I expect will last a long time if it's not stolen.

Good bottle, keeps the water cold. Sturdy and colour true to photo.

As good as the other make, super quality and does what it says. Bought as gift, my son loves it

I spent about two hours scouring the reviews on Amazon before making the choice to purchase three of these bottles. They are truly a fantastic bottle - and I know they are just a bottle, but it ticked all the right boxes for me.The bottle is under 300g empty. For a vacuum flask, that's pretty good. The entire bottle is metallic (even the lip of the bottle). I was apprehensive about the lip of the bottle being metallic but I need not have been. Drinking from the bottle is easy and does not spill from the sides as you drink. You also do not have the "rush of liquid" effect (a la "yard of ale").They are AMAZING at keeping drinks cold. I have not tried with hot drinks as my purpose for these bottles is only for cold drinks.They wipe clean on the outside very fast, and whatever paint is used on the outside / coatings on the inside, the water simply glides off the surfaces.Even the detail of the lid is excellent. You put the lid upside-down on the table, and the part that goes inside the bottle (if it has liquid on it) ensures that the liquid gathers inside the cap instead of getting liquid all over the table.The neck of the bottle on the inside has a "rim" and I have deemed it to be the 500ml marker line (I measured it 😊). The rim's profile is deep enough to ensure that it is visible, even though the bottle is dark inside.And finally, just to reiterate: this might just be a bottle... but it's a darn amazing bottle. The designers of this bottle have quite obviously spent a lot of time to get the details right. Also, it's very obvious that SHO have not skimped on quality. The painted exterior surfaces are extremely smooth on all three bottles with no "nubs" sticking out.Get it immediately - you won't regret it. 😊

these are great value and great at keeping drinks cold, have a few now
