I am a water bottle snob. I'm all about quality and functionality, and I also want something colorful that matches my style. I'm picky and have very specific tastes for what I want, and this water bottle checks off almost everything I wanted, and more than that!
1) Style - I like bright colors, pastel colors, and subtle or metallic patterns. Check. This water bottle has an awesome, smooth matte finish and the colors go together super well.
2) Straw - I like water bottles that have silicone tips to drink from. Check. I was worried since this one isn't flexible or adjustable like others are, but it's very ergonomic and pleasant to drink from.
3) Lid - I prefer the mouthpiece of my water bottles to be covered with a locking lid. Check. Not only does this have what I wanted, but the quick fill technology really was a game changer for me as well. It's crazy convenient just being able to flip up the lid and throw in some ice or fill up when needed.
4) Insulation - I want water bottles that don't sweat and retain cold well. Check. Is this the best insulated water bottle on the market? Absolutely not. It's not one of those water bottles that you can sleep next to and wake up with cold water the next morning, but will it stay cold for most of the day at work if you start with a full thing of ice? Yes, and that's what's important to me.
5) Washability - Never have I ever had an insulated water bottle that is machine washable. I used to machine wash all of my water bottles until I had an incident where one was in really bad shape afterwards. Whooooops! I pay attention to washability after that, and handwash most of my water bottles, plastic, metal, or otherwise. This one IS machine washable!!! I still plan on washing it by hand on occasion because I know bacteria can build up in those little nooks and crannies, but being able to toss it in the dishwasher like once a week is big for me!
I love Ello's products, and they love me too. They need to stop making such great stuff or I won't have any room left to buy new things. :)
