This is a great and sustainable waterbottle for every day use. I love this water bottle with my life and I love how it has the two different options for chug or sip. It’s great for travel, and it fits easily in my backpack. I have two Owalas and two different colors, and I am obsessed with both of them the sip option is great for in the car while the chug option is great for when you need a big gulp. The water bottle is very durable and I have dropped it many times and have only had a few paint chips. The colors of these water bottles are so unique and they stay clean very easily, and are easy to clean in the dishwasher if they get dirty. this is a great water bottle and they have so many colors for everybody and made of nontoxic materials.

Easy to clean, portable and it’s in purse or backpack. Keeps water cool as long as a hydro flask or Stanley, for HALF the price. Such cute design and great for nurses and others who need a closed top. Love this product and they release such cute designs for holidays and stuff! Also keeps drinks hot as well, for her 24 hrs! Great durability, great product. Highly recommend for the price.

As you can see by my photo, I’m a huge Owala fan! I have more that aren’t pictured as well. What I love about these water bottles is, well, everything! The colors and variety are always so fun. I enjoy when they come out with new color combos. You can always swap the lid from another of yours if you feel like a different color would look better. You do you boo!!! The freesip lid is definitely my favorite. You can either choose to drink with the internal straw or take a big swig if you’re feeling super parched. These water bottles are leakproof so you can just throw it right into your beach bag, or whatever bag you are rocking that day.. or you can hold it by the built in lid handle, which is super “handy” (pun intended). The absolute best thing about these bottles ... MoreAs you can see by my photo, I’m a huge Owala fan! I have more that aren’t pictured as well.

The absolute best thing about these bottles is they will keep your drink ice cold the entire day.. in fact, I left my water bottle in my locker once and when I went back to work 2.5 days later, it was still ICE water. I 100% recommend this to my friends, family, and even my enemies (they need to stay hydrated too so why not). Don’t take my word for it though.. try it for yourself.. or don’t.. but you will be the one suffering from drinking warm water on a hot summer day; not me!!

I really love my Owala 32 oz water bottle! It’s the perfect size for traveling. I’m a bit of a water bottle connoisseur, and I find myself reaching for this one the most, especially while traveling. It is leakproof and the stainless steel bottle is very strong. While this bottle is more realistic for everyday use, it doesn’t really keep beverages cold for long. In comparison to other brands, the ice seems to melt much quicker in my Owala bottle. Also, cleaning this bottle can be a chore. The top and straw parts are dishwasher safe, but the bottle itself is hand wash only. I really recommend handwashing this bottle because the top has a lot of crevices that need to be scrubbed. I actually had to buy a set of bottle brushes to be sure that this got as clean as ... MoreI really love my Owala 32 oz water bottle! It’s the perfect size for traveling.

Cap broke and couldn’t even get the proper replacement

I was extremely excited and intrigued by Owala bottles, but couldn’t justify shelling out $30 for a small water bottle when there wasn’t a colorway I loved. Then after months of debating, the DICK’s special colors came out and I loved the Spring Fling color, so I immediately hopped on it! I also bought my husband one in another color.In comparison, my cap was significantly more difficult to close- it’s like the spring in the cap was stiff and fought against the push of the cap. But it was still functional and I didn’t think it was so bad… until one day after only a month, when I pressed the button to open the lid, the spring somehow jumped ejected and the open button also flew off.When I tried to utilize the limited warranty, my claim was estimated to be replied ... MoreI was extremely excited and intrigued by Owala bottles, but couldn’t justify shelling out $30 for a small water bottle when there wasn’t a colorway I loved.

My claim wasn’t reviewed until I checked in myself 4 weeks later, only to be given a gift card to purchase a new lid from the website. All of the lids were sold out except the completely white and completely black color. I joined the restock waitlist for a few different colors, but there wasn’t even an option to get a replacement for my specific colorway, which completely defeats the purpose of me getting a bottle in the first place.TLDR; getting the bottle was a disappointment from start to finish. Lid came slightly dysfunctional and broke within a month or so of use, had to wait another month for claim to be acknowledged, and had to wait even longer just to get a cap that had some kind of color that doesn’t even match my originally desired color way.A solution for the warranty process would be to send the exact replacement of the broken item instead of making us purchase a replacement of the broken part.I would not recommend this product to anyone and am disappointed in the warranty process.

Damaged Owala Drinking Bottle - 24 oz. // Black

I received the Owala, 24 ounce, Black Drinking Bottle on 11/11/23. FedEx delivered it and the Owala bottle is both severely dented and scratched. The bottle should have been shipped in box, but rather, it was shipped in a plastic bag. Both the outer plastic bag and inner plastic bag bubble wrap bags were badly damaged!I have had nothing but problems trying to order a $23.00 bottle and I’ve spent over $25.00 in gas and 3 1/2 hours on the phone with Walmart Customer Service and at two (2) different Walmart locations trying to purchase a water bottle!I’ve been told by two (2) different Managers at two (2) different Walmart locations that they had this bottle in stock; actually they told me that they had three (3) Black Owala bottles in stock at each of the ... MoreI received the Owala, 24 ounce, Black Drinking Bottle on 11/11/23.

Upon driving over 18 miles to each location, NEITHER ONE OF THE WALMART Stores had a freaking single bottle in stock.I am SO frustrated and angry! This entire system needs to be overhauled and be MUCH, MUCH more customer friendly!

Love Owalas but this one broke/was defective

I am a huge Owala stan so much so that after buying my first one for myself I bought 3 of my friends them for their birthdays. I specifically love the straw shape & how you can drink in two different ways, the sanitary lid, lockable feature, and how you can use the handle to hold or clip on to a caribiner/fanny pack/bag/etc. for on the go. This specific 24 once one happened to be the first one I've bought that broke/has had any problems, not sure if it's from washing it in the dishwasher or what but I believe these do say they are dishwasher safe. The spring bring and would not stay closed, luckily it was within 30 days or whatever so Dicks did refund me. However now my boyfriend is skeptical about getting another and wants to look at other water bottle options.

However now my boyfriend is skeptical about getting another and wants to look at other water bottle options. I am still a huge Owala lover though!Cons I will say though: the boot is protective but makes it hard to but in backpack pockets, cupholders, etc... Without a boot, it dents. I have the white color and it can get dirty easily, top lid can be hard to get fully clean. Expensive although similarly priced to other water bottles

The best bottle for everyday use and especially for new moms!

I love the Owala Free Sip stainless steel bottle. I own 4 of them (they have so many colorful combinations), my son has 2, my daughter has one as well. I’m a nurse and have recommended it to all of my coworkers and new moms. Most of my coworkers have bought one because of how highly I speak of this water bottle. I also gift it to all my expecting mom friends. My #1 most favorite thing about it is that you can carry it, open, drink and close it with one hand. Just flip the handle lock, press the button to open the top, sip, and close all with one hand. Definitely useful when you’re breastfeeding, holding a baby, or busy at work. You don’t even have to lift the bottle, you can set it on the table and sip it while you’re typing away since there is a straw. You’re ... MoreI love the Owala Free Sip stainless steel bottle.

The last thing I love is that the drink spout is not exposed, you don’t need an additional straw top to cover the straw/spout it’s protected and safe when you close it. It’s also super easy to clean, my whole hand fits in the tumbler so I don’t need a bottle brush (but I do have one for when I want a real super soapy clean. You have to try this bottle, I have a 24oz, 32oz, and 40oz bottle. The 40oz is my favorite since it really helps me stick to my water goal of 80oz per day.

We love Owala’s

My family all has Owala’s. My husband, me and our two kids. They last such a long time especially if you take care of them. My son’s first owala got pretty banged up from several drops at school on cement and we eventually threw it out and got a new one… we decided to get a hand grip and a boot grip for the bottom. I also wash them out frequently/let them air out so no mold will develop. If you do find mold on the rubber piece you can purchase new rubber stoppers online. This is the only water bottle I’ve found you can sip freely out of without worrying about mold in the actual spout… we no longer buy the straw spouts that flip up because of mold issues. My ONLY complaint to Owala is that I bought the 19oz for my youngest son and there is no boot grip that fits that ... MoreMy family all has Owala’s. My husband, me and our two kids.

As long as they keep their quality the same and prices lower than competitors I will always be a loyal owala customer.

doubled water intake because of Owala FreeSip

Hands down best water bottle and I’ve tried them all. I now own 3 of these Owala FreeSip water bottles and I use them every day. If the goal is to drink more water then this is the water bottle that will make that happen. Because the sip is has a wide mouth/opening and a thick straw inside the bottle, it’s super easy to drink 2 or 3 of these just at work alone. Every time I see someone with one of these bottles, I ask them how it’s affected their water intake and I get the same super enthusiastic answer from them: It’s doubled or tripled their water intake. Excellent quality, super cute, but most of all it fulfills its mission: to get more water intake which improves health. this 24 of oz bottle fits in my car console cup holder as well as the door cupholder—the ... MoreHands down best water bottle and I’ve tried them all.

Also keeps my water cold for a long time—keeps ice for 24 hours in moderate conditions. ***wishlist: a lightweight non-vacuum version in a larger size that still fits in my car console cup holder ***

not all it’s cracked up to be

short explanation: opens slowly, sometimes not at all. gets dirty quickly and easily and that dirt is hard to clean off. ice melts pretty quickly but it is still cold even with the melted ice.longer explaination: i bought this water bottle a bit over a month ago. it was good at first, i enjoyed drinking from it. i liked the cute colors of the bottle, the dual sip feature, and how there was a cover to the straw because i hate when my straws are exposed to the public air.as time went on, the owala stopped opening as fast when i pushed the button. sometimes the lid wouldn’t open at all and i would have to push it up myself. so i took a star off for that aspect. this happened like 2.5 weeks into using the bottle.also, the owala gets very dirty very quickly and ... Moreshort explanation: opens slowly, sometimes not at all. gets dirty quickly and easily and that dirt is hard to clean off. ice melts pretty quickly but it is still cold even with the melted ice.longer explaination: i bought this water bottle a bit over a month ago. it was good at first, i enjoyed drinking from it. i liked the cute colors of the bottle, the dual sip feature, and how there was a cover to the straw because i hate when my straws are exposed to the public air.as time went on, the owala stopped opening as fast when i pushed the button. sometimes the lid wouldn’t open at all and i would have to push it up myself. so i took a star off for that aspect. this happened like 2.5 weeks into using the bottle.also, the owala gets very dirty very quickly and easily. i brought my water bottle to school, as most do, and i even kept in inside my backpack not touching anything but my lunch bag. i pulled the bottle out to drink from it and like 2 minutes later, there was already dirty on the lid. not as much as what is shown in the picture but there was still a lot. it was weird. and my hands weren’t grubby or anything like that. the dirt seen in the picture just appeared on my water bottle one day. i literally did nothing but there was this big spot of dirt on it. and i purposely keep my water bottle inside my backpack and not in the water bottle holder on the side so that it can prevent getting dirty (although clearly it doesn’t matter). not only does the bottle get dirty very easily, but it is difficult to get the dirt/stains out because of the material the top is made of. so no matter how hard i scrub, there’s always a little bit of dirt on the top that just won’t come off.finally, the ice melts pretty quickly. i fill my water bottle up at home and by lunch (which is like 4 hours later) the ice is melted or very close to being completely gone. the water is still cold though, so i do give it props for that.in conclusion, i bought this water bottle because i saw it on tiktok and i thought it would be a good experience but it wasn’t. i was disappointed and i gave it a try and now it’s too late to get a refund. maybe i got a defective bottle but idk whatever. i just wanted to share my honest, real experience so that others know that the owala is not worth the hype.
