“I really wanted to love this bottle, but after a week I'm ready to go back to my insulated water bottle. The only pro is how cute it is.
The Hydrojug is so heavy and lugging it around even with a carrying strap feels like I have a purse full of all my belongings. Carrying it just from the car to the gym with my yoga mat was inconvenient and for a walk I'd rather wear a weight vest, which is what this feels like.
The pockets on the sleeve aren't practical and barely hold my phone and small card wallet, I ended up just bringing my most used card and taking my single car key off my key ring to try to make it work.
Even when filled completely of ice cubes it didn't stay cold for more than 2 hours. 2 hours feels generous. My fridge has dual I've makers and with two of these bottles in the house they're constantly empty because it melts so quickly.
The straw. there's got to be a better way to have a straw for this bottle, this one is again not practical.”
“I think the straw is a great concept! It's nice that it comes apart into three pieces as it makes cleaning the straw easier. My only complaint is that my straw occasionally becomes stuck right under the lip of the drinking spout, and is nearly impossible to fish out without unscrewing the cap which is a bit inconvenient but not the end of the world.”
“I am a straw drinker. So when I saw the HydroJug had a straw I was sold. It's a game changer in convenience and durability. The height is perfect the straw is designed to break down for easy cleaning. Overall great invention!”
