Contigo Addison Water Bottle, 24-Ounce, Lilac

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?) In the past I have used Contigo for their spill proof coffee cups, but had stuck with Nalgene for their water bottles. This first experiment with Contigo's water bottles has gone very well for me. I like the simplicity and open-mouthed drinking style of the Nalgene bottles, but when it comes to spill resistance, this Contigo bottle can't be beat.



Usability. This bottle is very easy to operate and to clean. The complicated lid does not translate to a complicated user experience. My only complaint in this area is that the straw sometimes comes dislodged from the lid, which means that you either have to reach in to fix it, or drink out of it like a straw-less bottle. The latter wouldn't be too bad, but the vent makes some weird noises when you do that. The straw doesn't come out frequently enough for this to be a huge issue, but it is definitely an area that they could improve on.



Durability. The seals on the top and the drinking spout seem like they will have to be replaced pretty frequently, but as of now, at one week's use, the entire bottle is still like brand new. The bottle itself is made of high-quality, dishwasher safe, BPA-free plastic. I think that this bottle is of similar quality to its competitors, with the only thing that might hurt its durability is the complexity of the top's design.



Taste. Nothing in this bottle affects the taste of the water at all. It tastes the same way coming out as it did going out, even after sitting in it for a while.



Design/Style. This bottle is attractive and functional. It fits well in cup holders and is easy to hold and drink from.



Overall I recommend this bottle a lot, if you are looking for a straw-type drinking method. If you prefer open top designs, Nalgene is still the way to go in my opinion.
