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 absolutely love Owala water bottles! My favorite has to be the free sip water bottle, it keeps my water cold, fits perfectly in my backpack, and it has a secure locking mechanism which is great for when I drop my bottle or turn it upside down as it does not leak!

While I was very nervous to figure out the straw/pour situation, it was intuitive and I LOVE the ability to have both. Colors are great, easy to clean, keeps water cold....what more can you ask for???? It also works without a straw. In case you lose it.

i LOVE my owala water bottle! i have two others and like those too so when i was gifted it, i wasn't as enthused. but after using it for a few months, i love it. it keeps my water cold for much longer than the other two and is a more carrying-friendly size. this actually fits in my car's cup holder. i have also dropped this down canyons, into rivers, on rocks ... a few dents and it's still looking so good!

I've had an owala for over a year...it washes well and I like the side mouth for cleaning. It's gone to school activities and BoyScouts and keeps the water cool. Not as long as more expensive brands (you can feel the temperature from the inside on the outside), but I'm happy with it.

Obsessed with my owala water bottle. After struggling with many bottles leaking in my bags, I landed on owala and haven’t looked back. The optionality of the lid with a straw or sip feature leaves nothing to match this quality.

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.

These water bottles are great for kids. It's difficult to find a bottle that does not have a silicone or soft plastic spout, which encourages chewing. These bottles have a hard spout, easy to clean and look great.

My Owala water bottle has become one of those everyday items I genuinely love. The colorway I chose feels very “me,” and the straw/mouthpiece setup is honestly one of my favorite parts, it makes sipping throughout the day super easy without thinking about it. It’s durable, keeps water cold, and fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m glad I bought it.

Absolutely love the design of these - my go to water bottle for hiking because I can easily carry it with me. And my younger son loved it so much that I got home for him as well, I love that it's a bigger size so he can use it all day at school.

I really love my owala… the fun and functional design really makes me want to drink water. I love that it has a straw and the fact that you can remove the straw if you prefer to not have it. there are so many colour options to choose from which is amazing!

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.

This is actually the best water bottle I’ve ever used. I love the way the cap turns into a handle for when you need to hold several things in your hand but I love the functionality. I find that this even keeps my ice cold for hours at a time.

Recently got one of these after my previous water bottle grew feet and walked away at work. A big fan of the handle and how it also ensures that the lid locks. And the fact that there is a built in straw?! Game changer, since I am a straw person over open mouth, but Owala lets you drink it your way. I was won over and bought one for my husband as well.

I love my Owala water bottle. I love that it has a straw with a protected cover over it. It keeps my water cold for a while. I clean it with their cleaning tablets. I also have the kids tumbler, which is super cute and hard to spill.

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!!

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!

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’m obsessed with my Owala. It is truly an emotional support water bottle and helps me drink so much more water. I’d definitely recommend cleaning it more often than a hydroflask since build-up can accumulate in the cap.
