Ello Pop & Fill Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Quick Fill Technology, Double Walled Vacuum Insulated Metal, Leak Proof Locking Lid, Sip & Chug, BPA Free, Holiday Gift for Him Her, 22oz, 32oz, 40oz

aBSoLutELy my FAVORITE water bottle. I've tried many now, and am looking for the cute factor but more importantly, I have arthritis in my thumbs. I can open this without pain. I prefer the sippy cup, frankly, I remove the straw. No leakage whatsoever, stays colder than several other brands (yes, I have fun testing and comparing). I like the 22 oz. as, with my arthritic hands, I can wrap my hands around it well and it doesn't feel like I'll be dropping it soon. TRULY, I LOVE THESE. I want something I can sip from, I can lie down flat if needed, won't leak, easy to carry, and works with my weakened hands. Not to mention the cute factor again.... They are adorable. I think they are high quality and if you can get them on sale, it's a steal of a deal, however, I'll even spend the full price. Now I just want more colors.

Disclaimer, I am not a water bottle girly, I do not have a whole cabinet full of them. When I have bought one, I use it once or twice, get disappointed when I realize it isn’t the one for me and give it away. Mainly because I hate hand washing and a lot of reusable water bottles are hand wash. This one was a life-changer. I’ve had this one for a couple months now. I’m obsessed. It’s dishwasher safe, my #1 problem solved. I’m a mom of five, it does not get dinged up easily, hasn’t gotten a scratch or bump on it at all yet actually. I had a hard time choosing a color, they have great options. It keeps in the cold water, ice stays for a while. I love the quick refill with the straw in it. Love the chug option for when I realize I’ve been running around too much and forgot to drink water at a regular interval. Sometimes it does leak, BUT that’s user error, the seal on top folds sometimes if you’re not careful when closing, but it’s a quick fix. I love the handle, nice size for an adult hand. Overall my favorite water bottle I’ve had in my life. I’d say I’d buy another one, but it’s so well made, I feel like I only need one.

Edit: a few months later and I have to say I’m still quite impressed. One thing is, is that it leaked two times, and I don’t mean dripped a little- I mean the whole water bottle spilled out into my bag. I realised that it was because the white rubber piece on the inside of the cover was not in correctly. BUT- both times I had washed my water bottle earlier that day and took all the pieces apart and I guess I didn’t put it back together well enough. I think this issue should be addressed because a few things in my bag became ruined because of this spill. The reason I’m keeping my review at five stars is because it might be my fault, like I explained before, that the rubber piece was not secured. This water bottle is great. In this review I’ll discuss: -quality a. How long it stays cold b. Product material c. How well it holds up -color -what sets this water bottle apart from others QUALITY: A. I like my water cold and this bottle does the trick. I keeps my water at the temperature I want for the whole day (depending on the amount of ice cubes I put in) and then some. I was working out and I desperately needed I drink. Noticing my ello nearby I grabbed it and chugged. But I was surprised that the water was cold. I had filled it up on Friday and this was the next Sunday. The water was actually cold like it had been sitting in the fridge. That Friday I filled it about 3 quarters of the way with ice cubes. B. The metal feels of high quality. The outside of the bottle has a mostly smooth slightly bumpy - really very slightly - feel to it. It’s been in my bag when I dropped it on hard floor out of carelessness or anger and it has not even a slight dent. It’s rolled on cement floor, been kicked down, and has not a scratch. The only thing that concerns me is the cover. The cover is made of plastic and it does feel a bit thin. I have played with cover a lot (I fidget with anything I can get my hands on) and it’s still perfect. I’ve had this water bottle for a few months now. C. In A and B I’ve included everything I have to say about how well this masterpiece of a water bottle has been holding up, but here’s a summery: I’ve had this for a few months now and it’s been dropped, kicked over, knocked over, rolled around, played with, and more I’m sure, and it’s perfect. Not a dent or a scratch. Works as well as when I got it. COLOR: I got the bottle with the blue base and pink and orange cover and it looks exactly the same in person as it did in the picture. With all the different patterns to choose from, you’re sure to find one that you love. I’ve got so many compliments on the pastel color and overall aesthetic look of the bottle. WHAT SETS THIS BOTTLE APART FROM OTHERS: I’ll get straight to the point: it’s the cover. The cover has a unique design that cannot be compared to any other water bottle. Firstly, it has a spout, giving you the option of drinking from a straw. But you also have a chugging option because of the way the whole cover can flip up easily. Second (and this is a big one), is that because the cover can flip up easily without you having to unscrew it, it lets you fill up your water bottle with as many ice cubes as you please without having to spend 5 minutes every morning trying to screw it closed. And that’s what really sets it apart from other water bottles; the genius design of the cover.

Bought this to replace my old Takeya water bottle that was starting to leak (maybe I sent the plastic lid through the dishwasher too many times?). I mostly like it. It's been too cold out to test it with ice cubes, but I've had no issues with cool water not keeping its temperature. The lid is cleverly designed, and I like how easy it is to switch between the straw and the wide mouth. Unfortunately the lid is also pretty fragile. The bottle fell onto the floor about two weeks after I bought it, causing the latch that keeps the lid closed to break off and making the water bottle borderline unusable. To their credit, the Ello customer service team is very helpful. I sent an email asking about replacement lids because they were out of stock on the website and they ended up sending me a new one free of charge. However, just the fact that the lid breaks so easily is enough to make me a little afraid to use it. (Also, life hack: the Takeya 14-22 oz rubber bumper fits perfectly onto this bottle.)

I’m loving my new water bottle. I like how the lid locks in place so it can’t accidentally open and spill all over my bag. It keeps drinks cold for at least 12 hours, even longer if you use ice. I bought it on sale and am planning to buy more in different colors. I like the “O” brand but Ello is much more affordable and comes in many different colors.

It fell down a drain thing and still works. The quality is good and it is not too heavy even when full. It has fallen twice before from a jeep level so the very bottom does have some scratches and dent but not too severe. In both the seal from the part where you can refill does come a bit loose but it’s a quick fix. This is my second one and I love it I just wanted a size up since my first was a 22 oz one. Will 100% get another one. I was between this color raincloud or melon but melon was unavailable through Amazon so I got this one but I still love it.

I was looking for a water bottle that would actually keep my water cold all day at work and this Ello one has been great. The insulation is no joke - ice water in the morning is still ice cold when I leave at 5pm. The pop-up straw is really convenient once you get the hang of it. One-handed operation which is perfect when you're driving or have your hands full. Way easier than unscrewing caps or dealing with those squeeze bottles. The stainless steel feels really solid and well-made. I've dropped it a few times and there's barely a dent. The finish has held up well too - no scratches or weird discoloration after months of daily use. Size is perfect for my needs. Holds enough water that I'm not constantly refilling but not so big that it's awkward to carry around. Fits in my car cup holder and most bag pockets. Cleaning is pretty straightforward. The wide mouth makes it easy to get in there and scrub, and all the parts come apart for thorough washing. Dishwasher safe too which is a bonus. The straw mechanism works well but it did take me a while to figure out the right technique. Sometimes you have to bite down just right to get good flow. Not a huge deal but there's definitely a learning curve. Only real complaint is that the straw can be a little noisy when you're drinking - kind of a slurping sound that's noticeable in quiet places. And replacement straws are kind of pricey if you lose or damage one. Overall though it's been a solid everyday water bottle. Keeps me hydrated and my water actually tastes good instead of warm and gross by afternoon. Would probably buy again when this one eventually wears out.

I've had this waterbottle for a year and the only thing that's annoying is that the rubber band inside the lid sometimes gets loose and water spills everywhere, so you need to check that a lot. It's also a pain to clean because of how many functions and crevices it has, but it's a sturdy and cute waterbottle
