Contigo Ashland Chill 2.0, 24oz., Stainless Steel Water Bottle with AUTOSPOUT Lid, Steel/Dragonfruit

These water bottles are amazing. I can leave it in my hot car for a day and it will still be cold the next day! I have ordered a couple now. Very nice!

Bought this for my husband for Christmas because he needed a new Contigo. I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t know it was the straw kind but my husband ended up actually loving it. He has arthritis in his right fingers so he likes that he doesn’t have to push a button to drink out of this one. The color is nice, easy to use, straw size is perfect, keeps super ice cold.

Winner winner by far the best water bottle drinking lid ever. This lid actually works not leaking and stays working for years and years. Note I never run the lid in the dishwasher, I just rinse it under hot water; and occasional shake the bottle with a drop of dish soap. This bottles opens with one hand, with push of a button. As the mechanism is inside the bottle it doesn't get accidentally opened like other designs. I am very pleased with this product. How happy this is the only water bottle we use except huge two liter water bottles with simple screw tops. After using this and similar Contigo bottles for years we have a big box of retired bottles in the basement, some expensive, other with logos, to good to toss out but not as good as this style. I gave several Contigo bottles of a slightly different model with a very similar type of lid as gifts to my family eight years ago I see them still in use today. I bought these two new ones here a couple of years ago for my son as he had carried his original one to school and soccer for six years and while still working fine it was beat up and he kept "accidentally" taking mine. As long as these are used only for water they do not leak and will look good and work well for many years. I have used mine for tea and various flavored sugar free drink powders so mine is stained inside the lid, but still working fine. These two new ones are working just fine for my son two years later. I do not recommend these for drinks containing milk due to the need to actually clean the inside of the lid rather than just rinse it if used with milk; this said I have use mine for hot chocolate in the winter many times, it just takes a bit more attention to clean it after use. If used for drinks with solids like orange juice pulp the solids can interfere with the lid seal. The instructions say not recommended for carbonated drinks; I concur after getting sprayed with a face full of diet soda when I didn't hold the bottle upright before opening it.

I bought several of the same style water bottles so that I don't need to worry about matching lids with bottles. The quality in general is very good and lasts for a long time. However, when I found a broken lid, I wanted to order it but realized that they don't sell lids. The customer rep offered to replace the whole bottle but I have to fill out a list of questions. I don't think I want to spend so much time for one single lid. Mostly, I already threw away the lid after taking the pictures. It does surprised me that such a big brand doesn't sell parts. Once all the lids are broken, I plan to go for another company that would sell lids/parts. =====From the customer service================= It would help us better understand how this issue occurred if you reply to the below questions: - How and when was the product cleaned? - What liquids were used with the bottle? - Was the product ever dropped? - Briefly describe the issue you are facing with the product - Has this issue occurred since first use or did it start later?

I really like this water bottle, i keep slightly warm water in it for winter time, it hold the heat a long time, great to have a handle on this one, my old one had not handle. wish it had more colors , size is great, easy to use, can be noisy to drink from, it came with a quite straw in the bottle, but i ditched that.

As Durable As A Single Sheet of Wet Toilet Paper. Let me paint a picture of the brutal, high-stakes athletic life this water bottle has been forced to endure for the past two months. My "intense" workouts consist of me, at the gym with my personal trainer, successfully lifting the 45-pound bar. That's it. Just the bar. No weights. My greatest athletic achievement is not pulling a muscle while getting out of my truck. This bottle has been treated more gently than a Fabergé egg in an earthquake. It's been exclusively hand-washed and has never been dropped, thrown, or even looked at with aggressive intent. And yet, after only a couple of months of this pampered existence, it falls apart. The little milky-white silicone piece that connects the internal straw to the mouthpiece—the very soul of its drinking mechanism—has spontaneously developed a tear-hole I could stick my pinky finger through. The "leakproof AUTOSPOUT" is now about as useful as an ejector seat on a helicopter. Sipping from it is a gurgling, air-filled tragedy. I'm truly baffled. For a brand like Contigo, I expected a bottle that could at least withstand the sheer force of being lifted to my mouth by someone whose primary form of cardio is walking to the fridge. I've had cartons of milk in my fridge that have demonstrated more structural integrity and longevity. So, if your daily activities include competitive napping or you need a sleek-looking paperweight, this might be the bottle for you. If you actually plan on drinking from it for more than a few weeks, I’d suggest you keep looking. This thing couldn't handle my lifestyle, and frankly, that's saying something.

A great product and it keeps the drinks ice cold for 24 hours'

I have owned Contigo stainless steel water bottles in the past and wanted the same type and quality; these meet my requirements. I like the straw funtion as it is easier to drink from while driving or riding my bike (one handed operation). Yes, the straw will splash you in the face if you open it quickly towards your face; simply point it away or cushion the straw as it opens. I like the new larger size as the old 20 ounce version were just a little too small for me. I also like the wider mouth as I can now put it under the ice dispencer in the refrigerator and fill it directly instead of filling a glass first then slowly feeding them into the narrow mouth of the old version.
