Contigo AUTOSEAL Water Bottle, 24oz, Licorice Lid

I rarely write reviews, all I can say is that It’s great and I’m probably going to buy another one.

Warning label on back clearly says Not for use with hot or carbonated beverages. So I guess when the Amazon description says it keeps drinks hot or cold and the sticker on the front says cold 24 hours, hot 6 hours they are just kidding? Also, the mechanism to open the spout to drink is difficult to use (requires a *lot* of pressure to open and must be held down while drinking), and the spout for drinking is comically small. Im going to return.

I bought this for my son for the new school year, with in one week the button on the lid no longer works! He is so disappointed.

Its great so far!

I love these kinds of water bottles. It keeps my drinks cold for long periods of time.

This is the best bottle I’ve used & keeps the items cold. No straw involved! I have 2 & LOVE them!!!

I normally hate when a company improves a product because they usually mess up a feature that was already good. Contigo improved an already great product with this water bottle. I find the button easier to push which is great because my hands have arthritis. The carrying bail is more secure. The stopper is easier to clean and the spout even seems to feel better than the previous model. Overall, I am VERY pleased with this water bottle. Way to go Contigo!

the best bottle water

Compared to other stainless steel water bottles Ive owned, this one is the best so far. Does a great job at not leaking, even when you get a little water on the part where the cap screws on which was a failing of my previous water bottle. You can drink one-handed which is a huge plus. Other bottles claim to be one-handed but still have a cap to unscrew and tuck away which can be a hassle when you a driving - but not this one, just push the button on the back of the cap and you can drink as much as you want. Also it pours, compared to other bottles with straws that make you suck the water - I much prefer the pouring type, the sucking type make me feel like a gerbil. It fits in any cup holder Ive tried so far. The diameter of the bottom is exactly 3. Easy to clean - theres a couple of pieces to remove from the cap when you wash it, one of which is very small and easy to lose though Ive managed to not lose it thus far. I did spot one area for improvement, and this has been a problem on every stainless steel water bottle Ive owned and was actually the reason I replaced my former bottle for this Contigo bottle. You are going to eventually drop this on a hard surface. When that happens the bottom of the bottle will become dented and the bottle will no longer sit flat. I wonder if Contigo couldnt come up with a cover for the bottom, maybe hard rubber or something similar, that could prevent this. Searching around on Amazon there are several 3rd-party options available for this, but it would be cool if the bottle came with this feature. I recommend this stainless steel water bottle.

This water bottle has essentially the same feature set as the Coleman Autoseal. The lid designs are very similar and they both work well. However the Coleman one is a little heavier built, has a nice rubber pad on the bottom, and has some grippy rubber overmold around the lid and on the Autoseal button. Its just overall a better unit, at the same price. The one thing I do think is better on the Contigo is the loop handle. The Coleman has a tiny handle which is not very useable, whereas this one is larger and reasonable useful.
