Owala earns strong reviews as a highly functional, well‑insulated bottle that stays cold, doesn’t leak when locked, and features the signature FreeSip dual straw-and-chug spout with a hygienic covered mouthpiece. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some lids or stoppers trap moisture and mold, larger sizes feel heavy and don’t fit cup holders, occasional leaking or straw detachment occurs, and certain finishes or rubberized coatings wear or feel sticky over time.

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

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 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 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 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.

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.

(I have the 24 oz all black water bottle, purchased from Target.) My loves: Overall, I love the bottle and size. It has become my daily water bottle. Easy to drink out of, reliable day-to-day water bottle. My gripes: - The rubber portion under the top: Within about a month, it started to develop mold despite weekly washing. I noticed the bottle collects a lot of moisture with use, and leaving it open occasionally helps keep the top area dry. This is my biggest gripe and would love to see a design improvement here. - The straw: I wish there was a way to lock it in place. It occasionally slips out during use, and I have to open the bottle to reposition it. Other than those two things, the bottle has been a great addition to my routine

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.

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!

I love the Owala water bottles! I have a large one (40 oz) and love the straw/sip option on the lid. I don't love the color options - often they feel better for kids than adults - but I was able to find a neutral one and am happy with it.

I love my Owala and am seriously considering getting another — the color combos are so fun (I have the all-white one right now). It’s amazing how cold it keeps drinks, even after sitting in a hot car for hours. I love having the choice to sip through the straw or take a quick swig — super versatile! It’s easy to clean, incredibly durable, and goes everywhere with me — from travel days to workout classes. The built-in handle on top is a lifesaver when I’m juggling a million things at once. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with an Owala — it’s the best water bottle I’ve ever owned.

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!

Absolutely obsessed with this product - it makes me drink more water because you can choose between sipping or the straw. It's lightweight and aesthetic to carry around. Also, it keeps the water cold for a long time!

Excellent water bottle that is lightweight has a great seal and a great mechanism with the built-in straw that makes it a pleasure to use if you’re somebody who really enjoys using straws like I do when you’re drinking beverages
