Zulu Ace 18oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Chug Spout, Leak-Proof Locking Lid and Removable Base for School, Backpack, Sports, Gym, Travel, Ice Blue

LOVE this water bottle. No straw, easy sip spout (soft silicone but firm) like a water kiss on your lips ;) super easy to clean, leak proof locking lid with a push button opening. Keeps water cold all day. I bought three more for gifts. I also like the removable bottom for cleaning & filling with ice. Well made and sleek looking. Highly recommended, great price.

I almost had a panic attack when I thought they stopped making these. I love my water bottle. It has a sturdy place to attach a carabiner on top, and I love the fact that the bottom comes open for extra thorough cleanings. Strong enough to put up with all of my abuse as I drag it from work site to festival to campground. Most importantly the design of the drinking spout is easy to clean, unlike some other previous bottles I've had that collected grime in all of the nooks and crannies. This one is easy to get to all the spots and doesn't have an annoying straw, or sippy cup mouthpiece like other brands. . The mouthpiece is wide enough that you can chug a lot of water at a go, the top unscrews so you can add ice cubes if you want to, it stays insulated forever. The metal is thick enough that even if you drop it 100,000 times it retains its shape and doesn't dent, and the black coating has barely chipped even after years of use. The rubber band that makes it pop open broke on mine after years of aforementioned abuse, but was easily replaced with a rubber band. I have mine covered in stickers and will probably buy a couple more as backups because I will be truly devastated if this company ever goes out of business.

The ZULU Ace Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle is a game-changer for staying hydrated throughout the day. I love the chug spout—it's easy to drink from during workouts or while commuting. The leak-proof locking lid gives me peace of mind when tossing it into my bag. What really sets this bottle apart is the removable base. It makes it super easy to add large ice cubes, and they actually stay frozen for hours, keeping my water icy cold. It’s also handy for deep cleaning the bottle. Whether I'm using it at the gym, during travel, or just on a regular school day, this bottle never lets me down. Durable, stylish, and practical—it checks all the boxes. Highly recommend for anyone who needs cold drinks that last!

Bottom seal leaks if used for prolonged times, no issues if not used for days at a time though. Despite this I still like this water bottle and would suggest buying one.

This water bottle is saving our family from a Water Bottle world war.Note: I never write reviews.My husband and daughter are so picky about their water bottles -my husband HATES our 40oz Tumblers so much he wants to host a TedTalk about all the reasons he hates them so much y'all - and my daughter is a teenager and full on wants her bottle to be as cute as it is functional (don't we all?) This is an honest review, I paid full price for it each time, I've now purchased 3 of them (one for each member of my family), and no one asked me to review it. It is THE water bottle we all agree on in my family.PROS:•Bottle feels great in your hand; made of a non slippery material and doesn't give you carpel tunnel when you hold it•the bottom twists off so you can clean it and get all the sludge out!!! (this alone makes it a winner)•The top has a lock so it doesn't leak. Like at all. (our 40 oz tumblers leak like crazy and drives my husband nuts•It's DISHWASHER SAFE ... I mean....need I say more? Put the bottle on the bottom rack and the lid on the top rack of your dishwasher.•It's a sleek good looking bottle, and colors are cute (remember, I have a teenager)•The lid is a heavy duty but pliable material that we really like•No straw to have to clean, replace or get moldy!•Keeps your drinks ice cold for a long time•Isn't so heavy when it's full that you can't lift it•fits in all car cupholders (and it fits in our boat cup holders)•slimmer profile, not taking up so much space on a small desk at work•It travels well, and fits in backpack side pockets•#1 favorite thing...you can fill the bottle UPSIDE DOWN! Lock the lid, and unscrew the bottom instead of the top when you fill it with ice and water (the bottom is wide mouth)CONS:•It doesn't come in as many cute colors as the 40oz cups (please make more colors) (I told you I have a teenager)I've had mine for about 6 months and I'm in love with it. I travel all over with it.If you get a Zulu, you can probably declutter your water bottle cabinet, and just keep this one.

Worked great. Fairly durable. I like that it fits in a standard cup holder in cars center console. Being able to remove the bottom of the bottle makes cleaning easy and thorough. I've had for two years. The lid mechanism stopped working and I reached out to support. I created a case as suggested on their website. Wrote up the issue, took pictures, uploaded and created a ticket. I only received the response that was auto-generated upon ticket creation. After about a month of waiting, I submitted a follow up email requesting status for repair/replacement and still no response. As stated, product is great. However, if your bottle breaks after the return period, you are out of luck.UPDATE: There was a miscommunication between customer service and myself. It is since been corrected and I'm enjoying my product once again! I've updated to five stars to reflect customer service and product! I will be purchasing a couple more in the coming weeks for valentines!
