TUR Hydration Colorful Stainless Steel Double Wall Vacuum Insulated Water Bottle - 12oz - Eco-Friendly & BPA Free - Keeps Hot or Cold - Bright and Cute Design - Fits in Purse or Yoga Bag

At first I was skeptic about this bottle, since I noticed that a lot of the reviews were from people that got the product for free, which always seems shady to me. I still ended up buying the bottle, since I wanted something to keep in my purse for when I walk to work and I definitely wanted something pretty light.When I first got the bottle, I noticed it had a strong smell of tea, which makes me think that it had been sold to someone else and then returned and resold. I rinsed off the bottle, but there was still a slight smell. However, the water in the bottle tasted normal, so I kept the bottle because I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it. I have to say that I was impressed, however, by the insulation in this bottle. I filled it up with ice cubes and cold water at 7am when I left for work, and by 5pm, there were still some ice left in the bottle.That's definitely good enough for my needs. The bottle also looks very nice and is leakproof. I also like that the mouth is large enough to fit at least smaller ice cubes. There's also no condensation on the outside of the bottle.I would give it five stars if it weren't for the smell of tea and the marketing tactics of the company selling them. Normally when I see that a product only or mainly has "bought" reviews (people stating they got the product for free), I automatically assume that there's something wrong with the product. It just makes the seller seem untrustworthy to me. The only reason for why I ended up getting this product is because I couldn't find any good substitutes for it. Now I'm happy I got it though.

I have been searching for a bottle that is not plastic, has a thin profile for little hands and an opening wide enough for ice cubes. This bottle is all of that and more.It is thin enough for my seven year old to hold and it fits easily in her backpack side pockets. It is insulated and keeps water COLD all day. It is a bonus that the colors are so pretty as they really appeal to my seven year old despite not having princesses or puppies on it. (I got the pink and the aqua.)It does not cause the water to have a metallic taste as some other stainless steel water bottles do. I did need to wash it several times to get rid of the factory smell it had when I first received it. I bought one and then loved it so much that I bought two more!

Almost everything about this bottle seems very nice. I particularly liked the rubber/silicone ring on the bottom to give it some traction and keep it from making too much noise. I didn’t like that the cap is plastic, that would not have lasted long in my household. Miraculously it fit into almost every backpack pocket but was too tall for the small pockets, which increased the risk of it falling out and breaking.

Bought two of these bottles last year for my kids for school. They work great. During the hot weather days, the bottles kept the ice water cold for my kids all morning until they ate lunch. Some things I was disappointed by are that the paint scratched off, both bottles went dented from falls and don't stand up straight afterwards, one of the bottles' openings rusted, one of the bottles' rubber bottom came off and we couldn't put it back on, it was difficult to clean off the caps (black mold grew onto the crevices), and one of the bottles' straps broke. I tried to contact the manufacturer to see if I could get replacement parts, but no one replied. So this year, I'm looking to replace these bottles for my kids. I don't think I'll buy these again.

I have a long commute to and from work everyday and I just needed something small and lightweight to have a little water on hand. I have many other bottles but they're either heavier/bulkier which causes me to not use them.The 12 ounce capacity is enough to keep me hydrated but not enough to add extra weight to my bag. The slim design also makes holding it comfortable. I have small hands so sometimes wider bottles can be a problem. The slightly stretchy hand strap is also a nice touch but can be easily removed if you don't like it.I got the minty green color and it's perfect. True to the picture.

This bottle keeps your beverage cold. I haven't tried a hot beverage yet, but I'm sure it would also maintain the temperature. It is compact. The only con is you have to unscrew the top to take a drink.

I have been using this bottle for a few months. I was a little weary at first. It had the tea smell to it at first, as others have mentioned. That went away with a few uses and washes. It has no residual smell or taste now.It keeps water cold for hours. I have put cold water in this at the beginning of the day. If I have anything left at the end of the day, it's still cold. It does not sweat. I've carried it in my purse. It has not leaked.

This is an attractive looking water bottle, but it holds a very small amount of liquid (12oz) which for me is just not very useful. I have to get up constantly to refill it. On top of that, it is so slender that if you put it down without care (for example in the middle of yoga class) it will definitely fall on its side. I find this bottle to be a hassle.
