AUTOSEAL Madison Reusable Water Bottle, 24oz, Blue

I have gone through so many water bottles lately because they are so cheaply made. This bottle has a sturdy top that so far hasn't broken even though I've dropped it on the floor a couple times. The problem I have with many water bottles is that they crack if they are dropped, and since I haven't dropped the entire bottle (yet lol) I can't comment on how this one holds up. What I can say is that when they advertise "Autoseal", it is DEFINITELY sealed! I actually don't put water in mine, but I drink diet soda and take it with me everywhere. When I press the button to open the mouth part, it makes a sound like opening a bottle of soda for the first time each time I go to take a drink so I know it is tightly sealed. If you shake it around, nothing leaks at all. I like the little handle part because it makes it easy to carry around. I see much more cheaply made water bottles with bad product design selling for much more. This is high quality at a very fair and reasonable price. And, to top it off, it's a pretty color ;)

These Contigo water bottles are simply fantastic. The "auto seal" top is what makes them so special. Press the button and water flows freely from the opening in the top. The large clear container lets you see how much water is left, and it even has measurements for how many ounces are left in the bottle! I recommend the colored variants, as the gray/black one makes it harder to see the water in the bottle (if you care about this). The unit also has a built-in carabiner which lets you clip it to things. I'm a frequent visitor to Disneyland, and the carabiner lets me quickly attach/detach it from my backpack to fill it up or take a drink. Try not to drop the bottle on the auto seal top, as I've broken a unit this way. Also, it should be noted that this 24 oz. version should fit most car cup holders fairly easily, but the bigger 32 oz. cousin is too big for the cup holders in my car.Cleaning Tips!If you don't have access to a dishwasher, you may have trouble cleaning the auto seal top. I use a dash of dish soap and then fill the bottle with the hottest water the faucet will produce. I screw on the top and then shake the bottle around for a bit. The steam from the hot water will build pressure inside the bottle, so make sure to face the bottle away from you and then press the button to open the auto seal top. Be careful, as it might spray! I then turn the bottle upside-down and let the hot soapy water drain out through the unit. Give it a good rinse and it's clean!

For the price and quality, this can't be beat. It does what it says-it doesn't leak, hasn't broken despite dropping it multiple times, saves money on water bottles and reduces landfill waste, and has a good flow - especially compared to the CamelBak sipper. You do have to press the button down the entire time you drink, but that's where your hand would be putting pressure on the bottle anyway. The size is great and fits in most cup holders, including my car's abnormally small cup holders, and the clip is very handy for outdoor excursions. You drink out of this differently than most water bottles. Instead of rounding your lips, you flange them out a bit.What I don't like is that for females, if you have lipstick or lipgloss (or even chapstick) on it tends to kind of "collect" on the seal-but is easy to wipe or wash off. I wouldn't recommend putting anything but water in here, because cleaning it after any sugar-based drinks would be more of a challenge. Also, this is a tad more obvious, but it isn't good for sodas because it's sealed so the pressure would build up.Overall, this is my favorite water bottle, especially for errands and outdoor adventures.Update 3/2012: We have since gotten rid of all of our Camelbak water bottles. Both Contigo water bottles we purchased are still going strong, despite daily use and multiple droppings (oops). It is dishwasher safe on the top rack, but we live in an apartment with a small dishwasher that won't allow it to fit on the top rack, so I hand wash them. I love that I can toss this in my purse or bag and know it won't leak. If you use ice in this bottle and the condensation bugs you, this sleeve does fit this water bottle, but the bottle can still rotate in the sleeve so you have to align it when drinking-not a big deal, but worth noting: http://www.amazon.com/CamelBak-Liter-Insulated-Bottle-Carrier/dp/B0019DCDIO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363328055&sr=8-1&keywords=camelbak+sleeve.

These water bottles are my absolute favourite and I won't use any others if I can help it. I drink a lottt of water and these are great for:1) Drinking hands free while working out2) having a drink of water when you wake up thirsty in the night - you don't have to sit up, which sometimes wakes me up too much3) They're very leak proof and the top never pops off so you don't have to worry about throwing them in your bag and carrying them everywhere (which I do)

The ultimate non-leak water bottle! After many disasters with leaking sports bottles over the years, I've finally found one that doesn't spill a drop. Challenging at first drinking from it whilst on the treadmill! Is a bit pricy for a drinks bottle but it is very sturdy & robust.

The blottlegger is lagre enough for a real hike. The carabin hook is a smart design. I recommend it to everybody who swant to bring water whithout having to bring a backpack or carry a bottle in the hand. The bottle is easy to clean.

very good quality and fast great for my autistic child but the price is a little high.
