I am sorry, I have had most of the popular COOL brand water bottles...the ones with cute logos...great colors etc etc. All I can say is this is my second Coleman FreeFlow bottle and it is just AMAZING and so well designed. Compared to the often much pricier cute logo'd bottles such as Takeya, Hydro Flask, CamelBak..even Stanley this Coleman might be somehow boring? Coleman beats them all as to its purpose!! That is, to drink out of, keep things cold/hot a LONG time, even has a rubber bottom to avoid loud clangs when setting it down, or dings to the bottom. The others you gotta buy some silicon nonsense another $4-$5, or other third party silicon nonsense to stop leaks from straws etc. I say boring if you more like to just PLAY with your water btl, and want a cutsie must have, certain color bottle. The lid is ingenious, But yeah, doesn't come in 25 colors. You need just one hand, one finger really..push the button, magic :)..water comes out to drink. Take your finger off the button this bottle NEVER leaks... It keeps cold cold, and hot hot. I even love the colors actually, esp the blue. If you want to stop the nonsense and get a water bottle that is SO easy to use, esp one handed without fancy straws, add ons...stuff that will get moldy, this Coleman is the BEST. I had another FreeFlow it's maybe 5 years old..it still doesn't leak it still looks almost new, I only got a new one ONLY to get a new blue color. Price wise, quality wise..this is one of the best purchases I have ever made. It should fit ANY car cup holder far as I know, Easy to clean,...simple and GREAT, I even like the way it looks. Just BUY it! Read more

Why I like this Coleman water bottle. 1. The very long time that it will keep liquids hot or cold (all day). It appears to do that 20% better than most stainless steel tumblers. 2. It is very helpful to have a "dust cover" lid that keeps construction dust, dirt, etc away from the mouthpiece. 3. After each sip, it auto closes, which helps keep the inside clean and preserves the temperature of the inside. 4. As I sit at my desk, I can sip water without flipping a switch to open an opening, then switching it back closed again. 5. If this falls over, it is not going to leak, make a mess, or ruin my notebook computer. 6. I will probably use the loop to attach to my belt when walking. 7. I like the silicone bottom, which keeps it from sliding and from harming wood tables. 8. This is both beautifully and strongly constructed for years of perfect use. I have been using Yeti tumblers up until buying this Coleman water bottle. Reasons 1 to 8 above are why I switched. I am on a life long healthy diet which involves my drinking 8 cups of water throughout the day. Yes water should be listed as the 6th food group. VERY important to health. This Coleman watter bottle can be wherever I am to provide ice cold water (I don't like drinking warm water): my desk (this allows safely setting right next to my keyboard), my bed room (on my night table as I need a sip in the middle of the night), by the couch (on the end or coffe table) watching tv, in the workshop (right next to my crosscut saw), working outside (house/car maintenance - and other projects), working in the sometimes very hot attic, shopping in the hardware store (loading lumber), in my tractor cup holder (it can take 2 hours to mow my yard sometimes in 100 degree temps), in my car cup holder (for short or very long trips), walking (clipped to my belt), in my back pack, at the beach, biking (in the bike cup holder), in the gym (in the treadmill cup holder), in my gym bag (sideways or any ways). I chose the 24 ounce size due to its ability to be carried and fit so many places. I dont think I would use the 40 ounce version many of the places I go. I am using it just for actual real unadulterated H2O water (not for colas, coffee, etc), so I dont believe that any issues at all will arise in trying to clean the spout mechanism. In long past years, I have had other tumblers/bottles with complex mechanical seals and did not like how sugar and coffee creamer would get deposited in the mechanism, making it difficult or even impossible to clean. Anyway, for me, this is just for my WATER. I allow myself one cup of coffee in the morning and will use a tumbler with a very simple seal which can easily be cleaned. I give this Coleman WATER Bottle 10 stars. Five would be too little. It is a super, amazing tool in my daily tool box, with a specific, focused purpose. Other tools (like a coffee tumbler) may be used for other purposes, with no disrespect to the water bottle. Read more

No other water bottle compares, I've had the smaller one for 6 years and I'm on my 2nd 40oz after losing my first one. They are by far the best at keeping things cold and so durable, my 6yr old one has been to the gym 5x a week the entire time with enough drops to destroy dozens of other bottles, this one just keeps being it's great self. I won't ever buy another brand, my only wish is they make a larger one for long road trips Read more

Perfect fit — but I should’ve ordered the 40 oz (which was less expensive, so I’ll wind up ordering one that size too! I love the locking mechanism and the color is fantastic! Functions exceptionally well; better because of the locking mechanism that’s simple to maneuver for me when I’m drinking and driving-WATER ONLY LOL! Plus it has a rubber on the base so it shouldn’t shift, slide or topple over when I’m driving; it fits perfectly in my car’s cup holder. I MUST stay hydrated all day and this size encourages me to do so, I simply love it! There was no smell and it has a little window to show where you should stop pouring your liquid, to avoid spillage/leaking. This would make a great gift because the Coleman name has been around for decades so you know the quality is exceptional. Don’t hesitate to get yours (or for a loved one) you will not be disappointed! Read more
