Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I originally picked this up as a stocking-stuffer for my husband because I wanted to upgrade the sad, scratched-up, polycarb water bottle that he lugs to work every day. I shopped around for awhile, diligently reading reviews, and taking recommendations from a plethora of sources, because I was hell-bent on choosing only The Best Possible Water Bottle Anyone Could Ever Have, EVER. This meant that I was launched down a crazy rabbit-hole where the first contenders I checked out were highly recommended “status flasks” with crazy pedigrees and after-market lids costing upwards of $15 each (I like a flipper-sipper, with the option for a carabiner/gripper-lid, but hubs likes a tethered lid). Then, I got waylaid by a telenovela-style tale of couples going into business together to produce The Best Possible Water Bottle Anyone Could Ever Have, but then divorcing, with one partner getting the business, while the other launched a new business offering the same product at half the price, which really turned my head, because, who doesn't love a sensational story to go with their seemingly mundane water bottle purchase?! But, no! I MUST press on and explore every available purchasing option! And... I'm happy I did, because long after my eyes glazed over from the sheer multitude of available options and attached hype, I found Liquid Savvy's offerings, which seemed entirely too good to be true. Double-walled vacuum insulation? Check! Sturdy, grip-friendly powder-coating? Check! Sweat-proof exterior? Check! Promises of piping hot libations and frosty cold beverages for at least 12 hours? Check! A shockingly reasonable price tag? Check! THREE INCLUDED LID OPTIONS?! Wait... what?! Okay, you guys, that is just too much! Now, I'm suspicious. I ain't gonna' lie; when I saw what Liquid Savvy had on offer, with that amazingly low price point, I automatically assumed that this was a product of inferior quality, but, NO! A thousand times no. As soon as it came in, I lovingly washed and dried the bottle and all included lids, so that my love could start using it right away if he wanted to. I was, quite frankly, blown away by the quality of the product. This is good stuff. Such good stuff that I ordered one for myself, too! Also, such good stuff that I couldn't wait until Christmas for my hubs to enjoy this little wonder. Life is short, and one should have nice things in their inventory to navigate it, right? This Liquid Savvy bottle is a nice thing. Full stop. I blew the surprise the day it arrived, and I'm okay with that. Grab one for everyone you love. Not only does it help the environment by reducing the use of disposable plastic bottles, but you can take whatever you want; water, soup, tea, coffee, whiskey, whatever it takes to make your day infinitely better, with the appropriate (included) lid for the occasion, and it will stay at the ideal temperature for at least 12 hours. What more could you want? That powder-coating feels great in the hand, nice gription, and it doesn't transfer what's inside in any negative way. By that I mean; if it's winter, and you need a sip of cold, clear water (dehydration is actually a huge thing in the winter, because nobody ever sees it coming!), you can grab this baby and take a sip and not feel like your hand is going to fuse to it. Even better, you can keep this at your work-station all summer long, filled with ice, and not worry about the laminate on your desk ending up with a sweaty water ring. It is actually sweat-proof, and temperature-neutral! Which means, alternately; if you're a plow driver with a full tank of cocoa/coffee in this sucker (maybe Irished-up, I don't judge), the outside is warm, but in a friendly co-pilot way. And it'll stay that way until your shift ends. I did NOT receive this water bottle free, or at a reduced price for my review, I bought it sight-unseen and am totally thrilled with it. After reading a million other water bottle reviews. DO NOT let that outstanding price-point and those generous options fool you. I hope everyone who purchased it the same way does too, because the best product should always win. And this is, indeed, The Best Possible Water / Soup / Tea / Coffee / Cocoa / Whiskey Bottle Anyone Could Have. EVER!
