Owala earns strong reviews as a high-performing, leak-resistant hydration brand whose FreeSip lid—offering both straw and chug options—makes drinking intuitive and keeps beverages cold for hours. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some sizes don’t fit cup holders, components can be tricky to clean with mold-prone silicone and occasional straw detachment, certain bottles feel heavy or top‑heavy, and isolated reports cite rust, paint chipping, instability in a tumbler, and leaks if unlocked.

So late to the game on owala, but pleasantly surprised! I needed a water bottle to travel with and this is perfect. The 28oz size is perfect for travel or for sports events or just on the go. I totally get it now!

I would give these five stars, but the occasionally leaking makes it a four for me. Overall, I love the colors and I like the stare and ship options. We’ve taken them everywhere from school to travel to sports. Great customer service as well.

My son loves these water bottles and the variety of colors. He uses one of them every day in his lunch. We did have a problem once where it leaked all over his backpack, but that was possibly just because it wasn’t sealed tight enough.

We clearly love these water bottles and all the fun colors. My son really enjoys them for school lunch and sports. The only thing this we don’t love is sometimes when it lays flat it leaks quite a bit. It doesn’t happen all the time but has happened enough times to be annoying but we still love these overall

I love my Owala water bottle. I like that it has a top handle and the straw but also I can close the top so it’s not exposed. My last water bottle got moldy from the straw closure mechanism so i like that it is easy to clean this bottle.

I am such a fan of my Owala! I use it every single day. It keeps my water cold overnight and then throughout the day. It holds a good amount of water as well. I love the straw and the fact that you can tip it over and no water comes out!

I absolutely love my water bottle. It keeps my water ice cold for hours, which is one of my favorite things about it. The designs are so cute, and it’s the perfect bottle to take with me when I’m traveling or on the go. It’s both practical and stylish, and I use it every single day.

I absolutely love this product. I use it every single day for my coffee and it is perfect. It keeps my drink warm and is super easy to use. It makes my coffee experience more enjoyable and fun. Fits in my cupholder in the car, so it’s perfect for on the go.

I'm actually on my third Owala bottle because I lost my first one and the second one got gross...but if anything it shows how much I love these bottles. Keeps my drinks cold, don't leak, and looks great.

Overall I really like my Owala! I love the color options that are available, and I appreciate having the option of using a straw or taking a sip. I also love that the Sway fits in my cup holder! My biggest complaint with the Sway is that it’s top heavy so falls over easily, and the mouthpieces can be hard to clean.

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!!

I live and breathe my Owala. I never understood having an emotional support water bottle until Owala. I mean it when I say I throw thing in my bag. It never drips, leaks, or melts all my ice. It's amazing. I love the colors, once you get the hang of taking it apart they're so easy to clean, I use it every day. Photo was me contemplating a new colorway... Of course I got it.

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.

Great water bottle that keeps drinks cold all day long. There are some great color options. I really like the free sip top that has a straw and open top so I don’t have to pick a specific style water bottle top. They were really quick with shipping around the holidays.

Love this waterbottle! I don't normally like straws but it doesn't feel like you're sipping on a straw. You can also easily pour water into the chug opening. I resisted buying this product for multiple years and then found it on sale and bit the bullet.

Only two months after purchasing my water bottles, rust started to appear on the rim and at the bottom inside the bottle. I contacted customer service over a month ago, but they still haven’t provided a simple solution to this quality issue. Now the problems with the rust are getting worse. It’s very disappointing, especially considering I paid $154 for two bottles. I expected much better quality and service.

I’ve had a few owala water bottles, including the insulated (and plastic) freesip as well as the older twist bottle, and they’ve all been great. I like that the freesip lets you tilt to drink or sip, it’s pretty innovative when every other water bottle functions the same way. I’m not a big fan of exposed straws on other bottles, so this is a great and hygienic alternative. While the insulated bottles are good for keeping your water cold, I like using my old tritan one at the gym since it’s a lot lighter-I wish they’d bring bought those back. Personally, I think the constant stream of releases for new color combinations is a bit tiring. I’d love to see some alternate formats come out instead, like more innovative functionalities.
Love my Owala drink bottle. I find the quality to be very good and the design that i have super unique and practial (It has both a sip function and a gulp function). I would choose an Owala over a Stanly any day.

Absolutely love my Owala FreeSip! Super easy to carry and bring with me on the go. Love the option to use the straw or the wider spout. I love the range of colors and I want to buy one for everyone on my list!

I never thought I would love a water bottle this much! The option between the straw or free sip is amazing. Comes apart easily for cleaning and straws are wide so they are also easy to clean! Super sturdy (mine has been knocked around) and obviously amazing color combos!
