I love the options of having a straw to drink out of AND a free sip so I can chug in times of extreme thirst. The huge variety of colors is also a huge plus! I especially love my bronze from the Hearth and Hand collaboration. Love a functional and esthetic water bottle!!
Obsessed with my Owala FreeSip — the color options alone had me buying two. It’s so easy to use, the dual-sip lid is genius for switching between sipping and chugging depending on your vibe. My drinks stay ice cold all day long, which is honestly impressive. The one thing I wish was different? It’s not dishwasher safe, so hand washing is a must — slightly annoying but totally worth it for how well it performs. Once you go Owala you really don’t go back.
If you want a bottle that makes drinking more water easy this is it! I love the straw feature. No tilting or spilling, and an easy to press button to open it. My kids love “mama’s water bottle.” My only qualm is that it does need to be cleaned pretty often to avoid mild building up.
I used the same hydroflask for years that wasn’t really insulated and the straw was exposed to EVERYTHING. Owala has been an absolute upgrade. I loved that it keeps my drinks nice and cold even in the Phoenix heat, the straw or pour option is fantastic and covered from the elements with the locking cap. I also like that the mouth of the straw isn’t actually a straw because I have a bad habit of chewing my straw.
Shifted to my Owala water bottle last year and I can't go back - its def worth the hype. Plus, I got the special edition fall color from Target and I love it. I love that it has a handle and also love the fact that I can lock it!
I was gifted the larger bottle in dark grey color-way with teal highlights. Super sleek design and great insulation, can keep water cold even with the top open. The flip top is starting to wear down a bit so it jams slightly but i love the free-sip design and keep it on my work desk all day.
OMG I love this water bottle! Owala really outdid themselves with this one and it has an extremely thoughtful design. The mouthpiece can be covered so it’s not exposed to germs, you can choose if you sip out of the straw or not, it’s easy to clean, keeps water cold, easy to carry with the handle, and doesn’t spill. Everything you could ever want in a water bottle!
The free sip has been amazing! I love that it covers the mouth piece and I don’t have to touch the mouth part at all. It keeps everything sanitary. The only thing is sometimes when I’m biking, the cap has come unscrewed or the lock was unattached somehow whenever it’s in a tote. It’s only happened twice so maybe that’s user error, but I haven’t had other bottles do that. I make sure that it’s in a secure place that doesn’t bounce around and it’s been fine. I don’t mind having hot or cold water, it stays hot enough for me and it keeps it cold for long enough in the summer. My husband and I share the bottle so we usually finish the water before it gets warm if there’s ice.
The kids 12 oz tumbler with the free sip cap was a good idea in theory, but I find that leaks more than just having the original straw itself. I tried to use it for coffee, but it kept leaking from the screw part so that was more annoying. I would give that 3 stars.
Overall I would purchase again, but I would use bottles that are intended for their specific purpose and to place them in a secure manner.
I jumped on the Owala bandwagon earlier this year because I liked their fun colors and patterns, and was intrigued by the dual straw/chug opening. After some time, though, I've moved away from their FreeSip products because I was getting annoyed having to open the lid every time I wanted to drink (leaving the lid open guaranteed my young kids would knock it over immediately). The bottles themselves are high quality: sturdy and substantial without being too bulky, but Owala recommends hand-washing to preserve the external finish which is too time-consuming for me. (I have put some of my Owalas in the dishwasher and it does occasionally change the look and feel of the external finish.) Also, most sizes do not fit in cup holders, so I don't travel with them much. Owala does a great job releasing fun and unique patterns consistently, so they are fun to collect and give as gifts because everyone (else) loves them!
The Owala 40oz cup is a great option for staying hydrated throughout the day. It keeps drinks cold for hours, and the wide mouth makes it easy to add ice or clean. The built-in straw and comfortable handle make it super convenient to carry around. Overall, it’s durable, practical, and stylish—perfect for daily
I'm not sure I love any water bottle more than this one! It keeps my water super cold (I always add ice), I can sip easily no matter the position of the water bottle, and I can travel with it without any spills!
