Autoseal FreeFlow Stainless Steel Water Bottle, Black, 40 oz

I never really write reviews, but felt compelled to share my love for this water bottle. I've had this bottle for over 5 years now and when I initially bought it I had no idea how much I would appreciate this bottle. It's never grown moldy at all on any parts and I'm not the type of person to wash my bottle daily so this has been great for me. I had bought an owala bottle and kept tasting mold when I would drink from it even when I would clean it daily. This bottle is also easy to clean, I love that it doesn't have a straw and is self sealing. It has never once leaked. I've dropped it, banged it etc. and it's gotten a few small dents here and there, but overall has been just as good as the day I got it. The button still works great, the lid, the handle, everything. A contigo water bottle I had, the handle broke off when I dropped it once. If I put ice, there will still be ice in it the next day. The only wear and tear is the rubber on the button part fell off. The only downside is I wish it came in cute colors like owala or stanley's etc. but every time I think about buying a different bottle I hesitate because of how perfect this one is. The only other downside is it doesn't fit in a cupholder, but truly for it's function, it's amazing. It's a great water bottle for lazy people like me, because it takes minimal to no maintenance to use and keeps my water cold all day. I love that I just push a button to drink and I don't have to deal with a straw (I hate straws on water bottles). I have nothing else to add, except that at this point this is my emotional support water bottle and I'll keep it with me forever lol

This is by far the absolute best water bottle I have ever used. Purchased in 2018 - 7yrs in and still going strong. Writing a review now because I'm actually looking to pick up another and was curious when I purchased the first one. Design and functionality are top notch - I have dropped this thing so many times and yet it remains leak-proof. Simple one-finger water function - no straws to clean, just a well designed bottle and your water. Keeps ice for many hours, warm beverages are warm 12hrs later.

Most people will rate their purchases within the first few days or weeks of ownership. Unfortunately that doesn't reveal much about the longevity of the product being reviewed. My review for this is being shared after owning the 40oz bottle for almost 5 years. My opinion? You MUST buy this bottle. Nothing else will come close to the quality and longevity for the price. I use this bottle and spout literally every day. The spout mechanism is probably the best design I've ever seen. It's more complicated than most other lids/spouts out there, but dang, the engineers who designed this absolutely nailed it. It simply works and it doesn't leak (there are two caveats I will get to on this later) from the spout like pretty much every other water bottle I've owned. Even nearly 5 years later and a ton of abuse, this thing stays leak-free the majority of the time. The insulated metal body is also quite a rock star here. Hot drinks stay hot. Cold drinks stay cold. It's also incredibly durable as well. While most of the time, it's this bottle is used in relatively mundane environments like at home or office, both the bottle and cap/spout have proved to be exceptionally durable and have withstood *a lot* of abuse, such as being tossed in the back of military tactical vehicles where it bounces around, banging into everything. This bottle has also handled drops from less than 10 feet onto concrete and asphalt and drops greater than 10 feet onto softer surfaces such as gravel roads/dirt. Not just once either. It's handled such falls quite a number of times, with one falling lid first from about 5 feet when it was full 40oz of water. The metal body does not seem to care about falls. Heck, the paint barely seems to care either. As complicated as the spout mechanism is, it's very easy to clean with a dish brush and dish soap. The bottle says to hand-wash only, but I toss both it and the lid in the dishwasher and nothing bad seems to have happened. Your mileage may vary though. In terms of the occasional leaks, I've found this can happen from two different reasons. The first is not twisting the lid back on completely. If it's a bit lose, it will leak from the neck (this is a weird sounding sentence). The solution is to just make sure you tighten it more. The next leak area is the spout. I should preface by saying leaks from here have been *exceptionally* rare, at least for me. When it does happen, it's usually because the silicone seal isn't fully seated due to dirt or the button was pushed a small bit. The solution here is to make sure you keep the silicone seal clean and inspect it for damage whenever you clean it. If everything looks fine, but it still leaks, then the button might be slightly jammed open or the mechanism wasn't realigned properly. This will make more sense once you have it in your hands and look at everything. Another cause for leaks is if it's full of hot drinks (or if you fill it and then go onto an airplane). The steam and/or pressure change will pressurize everything. Normally this would improve the seal, but there have been cases where it leaked a little from some part of the bottle. The solution is to keep the bottle upright and release the pressure by pushing the button thing. Finally, in one of the pictures I posted, you can see the carry handle is broken and the spout cover lid is cracked. The cracked spout cover was caused by a 5 foot fall straight-straight down onto concrete while being filled with water. It only cracked the lid. The marks around the hinge were from me trying to remove the lid (to try replacing it, but I failed). The broken carry handle happened literally yesterday (from the day this review is being posted). The handle was up and it fell onto ceramic tile handle first. The bottle was full with water. I don't think anything except metal or TPU/rubber would have survived that impact. The fact this happened nearly 5 years after owning it, this sort of thing was bound to happen and can't be blamed on the build quality. It's also possible that cleaning everything in the dishwasher made it a bit more brittle over time. Who knows. So yes. This is a very long review that rates the product after 5 years of daily use. The conclusion is that it does exactly what it needs to do, is exceptionally durable, and all at a very good price.

I bought this bottle 3 years ago while working on construction sites and I still use it all day every day. Cups have been a thing of the past since this thing keeps my water cold all day and all night long! I don't even use ice, I just fill it up from the water filter in my refrigerator and I'm good all day. I don't write reviews but I felt this product actually deserves it! It's odd to me to see some reviews saying their's isn't keeping their water cold for long and I'm completely perplexed because I've yet to ever have my water go warm on me with this bottle. It's great quality and Project Farm on YouTube even has it in his video of insulated water bottles where he says he feels it's the best value out of all bottles reviewed. I would have to absolutely agree! I've dropped this thing so many times on road and concrete. It has never dented and the paint is hardcore durable. The only exception would be the top/cap. I dropped it on the mouthpiece's cover one too many times on pavement and it eventually cracked as a result, but didn't break so it's still fully functional. It's highly durable, great temperature control, perfect size/volume for use and hydration. Definitely 5/5 stars! And for anyone wondering, the 40oz bottle is 3 1/2 inches wide. It fits in my car's cup holder, but maybe won't in some other cars. Not sure, but hope it's useful information to you.

I generally don't leave product reviews here on Amazon, but this product warrants one! I work a warehouse job, unloading packages from trucks, and currently during summer it can climb to over 150+ degrees within those metal walled trucks, so before I use to have just a typical cheap clear plastic waterbottle, you put ice in it and within 10 minutes all the ice is melted and water is warm/hot within the trucks I have to work inside of.. One day I spontaneously decided to browse Amazon for a waterbottle and landed on the Avex freeflow vacuum insulated water bottles but noticed their company/bottles were acquired by and rebranded as Coleman (this product), so I decided to buy one for the heck of it.. and wow, i was amazed. Every drink over my 9 hour shift was ice cold.. and each time I opened the bottle to refill it with more water, the ice was still there all the way to the end of my 9 hour shift when I dumped the remaining water and for once, all the remaining ice. I also love the press button drinking system, no need to unscrew the lid to drink from or straw to lift up to take a drink. just take a drink from the spout and it seals up leak tight when you release the button, even times when my bottle gets knocked over by a package or two, not even a single drop spills, unlike my previous plastic bottles. Highly recommend this! worth every penny, and in fact after owning one of these now, I think these are very much under-priced and i'd happily spend double the price now that I know how good of a product it is. - Nearly One Year Update - It is now May 27, 2020, and just checking out my old reviews on Amazon and felt like this review needs an update to mention, that this insulated water bottle has served me well for almost a year now, other than the handle cracked and being unusable (my fault as I dropped it one day), the bottle still keeps my water or other drinks ice cold! I take this to work with me everyday and even sometimes I find myself lazy and forget to empty any left over ice at the end of my work week only for the ice to still be there days later (literally it keeps ice for days straight). A+++ definitely buy this.

I just got this water bottle Today. My thoughts so far: 1. The bottle is really large. I didn’t get the sense of that in the photos, but keep in mind it’s large, heavy, and definitely won’t fit a cup holder. If you’re going to be using this on-the-go like hiking, I think it’s far too heavy imo. 2. The bottle is well made and looks and feels like good quality. However, I HATE the fact that you have to squeeze a button in order to open the valve every time you take a drink. It’s almost made it too much work for me to use it as often as I’d like. 3. So far my water has remained cold all day long. Haven’t tested hot beverages yet. 4. No leaking, you really have to make sure to screw the lid on securely. 5. Overall it is convenient to have 40 ounces of water in one bottle and makes it easier to get your daily intake. So for that reason, I’m glad I purchased it.

Well-insulated, very durable and can hold up to a lot of abuse or falls. The design is great and helps keep the bottle locked with mouthpiece cover to keep dust and dirt from getting on top or avoiding water spills. The handle is also great for ease of carrying. This is my second Coleman bottle--my first one held up for a very long time before I decided it was time to get a new one. I will probably stay with Coleman water bottles for as long as they keep making them.

Still the best water bottle out there. Beats all of the other "viral" insulated bottles. Especially those with a straw. When you go from a lower elevation to higher, those other bottles will shoot water oit of the straw all over. Not Coleman. Also, Coleman is so easy to clean. The mechanism is ingenious. I've had this bottle for 4 years, and own two of the smaller Colemans. I also own a hydroflask. I would buy the Coleman again.
