CamelBak  Eddy+ Insulated Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 20 fl. oz.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have EVER bought a Stainless Steel Bottle then you know the AWFUL taste that lingers after you've taken a sip of water from it! Well, the Camelbak Eddy+ 20 oz. Bottle doesn't HAVE IT! I bring water with me everywhere I go, but I flavor it just so I don't get that Metallic taste. That isn't the case for my New Camelbak! Also, the spout is ingenious! The spout was super soft and sturdy all at the same time. I took my kids to pick them out one after only trying this product for two days! Color choices for this product were perfect for my family. Definitely recommending to my close family and coworkers as well!

Problems: 1. It did leak.. just drops at a time when turned over, but doesn't really serve my needs. Not good for a backpack or any place you don't want a leak. 2. The tip requires biting to drink out of, when biting, the tip came right off and so it spills all over. I tried putting the tip back on, but it comes off way too easily. 3. When drinking through the tip it makes a loud sound like a canary... which is amusing, but not valuable for a bedside bottle, since it wakes my gf up. The bottle is nice and all - but biting to drink is a totally unsatisfying way to drink water, unless it provides you with superior leak-proof seal... it doesn't with this bottle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The brushed aluminum is sharp looking, with a soft sheen, like a stainless steel sink finish. There is no condensation on the bottle from the cold water within, and it keeps the temperature cold for a long period of time with vacuum insulation. The wide straw goes to the bottom of the bottom. The cap has a flip top to close it, and the bite valve to drink which doesn't spill when tipped over. The built-in loop makes it easy to carry in the crook of a finger. It's possible to get the entire straw assembly apart for thorough cleaning, though that's really only necessary if it's used for something other than water.

I bought this water bottle for my wife. She wanted a water bottle that kept her drink cold, but was also very easy to keep all the components clean. This definitely did the trick. Why not 5 stars? The spout. When closed it is not covered. Also, it is a little annoying to go from the closed to open position. My wife formerly had the Contigo Autospout. It had the features that this does not - however, it was hard to clean the spout well. Cleanliness and ease of sipping makes this the choice over the Contigo Autospout. If someone were to merge the two bottles they'd have the perfect waterbottle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 20 oz Eddy Camelbak stainless steel bottle is AMAZING! I start my day at 5:30 AM with hot coffee. My coffee was still not just warm , but HOT at lunchtime. After lunch I have a soda over Ice. The next morning I still had Ice in my Eddy Camelbak bottle... So that ice was maintained for 15 hours, in room temperature conditions. The straw is great, you get a lot more drink with little effort as far as biting and sucking are concerned . I love the lavender color also. Get this, my husband was so impressed, he took it to work with him today even though the bottle is lavender!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried many water bottles from many different companies. I’m kind of a water bottle collector of sorts. I really like the feel of this bottle. It holds a decent amount of water. Nice size for toting around, doesn’t take up too much room in my bag. It’s truly leak proof which is a huge plus! The mouth piece is very different from any water bottle I have tried before. You use your lips or teeth to bite down on the mouthpiece which then opens the straw and then suck like normal. So far so good but tbh I’m worried about how long it will last, especially since I sometimes share my water with my 5 year old (who loves this bottle). Overall I like this bottle a lot. Nice looking too! Hope it lasts a good long while:)

The bottle has been able to withstand basically every activity I throw at it, and every drink I put in it. Very good for teenagers, young adults, and adults. I purchased a couple of these for my children, and gave some away to other folks who were interested in it. I gave away different colored bottles and different sized bottles. In each occasion, the recipient was happy to have received this bottle. The metal construction is excellent, and the rubberized sipping tool at the top is decent. Although, I am almost sure that I will need to clean it once in a while.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was slightly confused how to drink out of it at first since I’ve never tried this type of water bottle with the flip top straw before. I even used it for my morning coffee as I was walking to class and was really happy that nothing spilled/leaked and was really easy to drink out of while walking. The straw size is also wide enough for well blended smoothies. Overall very happy and versatile for more then just water. It also rinses out relatively easy by filling the straw with water and squeezing the top rubber part to rinse out any excess non-water based liquid.

I go out of my way to stay loyal to CamelBak. Quality products I can depend on.

This is my second steel bottle, first that is insulated. The older one I keep at home now for the nightstand and stuff. It dented a couple times, but still works. The new one is a beautiful design. The cap is nicer and the bite valve works easier. I wanted this one to last even longer, so I had it coated with Line-X. It kept ice cubes cold for two days in the office and my Jeep. Very impressed and glad I bought it. I would have rather had the larger model but it wouldn't fit in my cup holder. I also carry this one in my EDC bag.
