Stanley IceFlow Flip Straw 2.0 Water Bottle 36 OZ | Built-In Straw with Larger Opening | Lightweight & Leak-Resistant | Insulated Stainless Steel | BPA-Free | Ash

I’m really happy with this purchase. I hold quite high standards to the quality of the products that I buy, and I don’t have any gripes here.The pomelo color was spot on to the picture advertised. The one in the grass here is the most accurate. It almost glows. I think it looks nice and it’s easy to spot in a room.I like that the threading is on the cap rather than the bottle. This keeps the gasket on the outside of the lid, rather than tucked way up inside, where it’s hard to get out and ultimately always starts to get stinky and moldy, even when cleaned regularly.The mouthpiece securely closes and plugs the vent hole to keep it from leaking. The straw pulls soo smoothly. There is no resistance. The mouthpiece itself is very smooth, rounded plastic. Not silicone, so it won’t get funky or absorb smells. The straw is securely seated in the inner silicone piece so it is not going to pop off in your bottle, like so many of them do.What I like about this design the most is that you can take every part of the lid out. The mouthpiece comes off, the silicone piece comes out, you can clean every nook and cranny, there are no places for mold to hide. At first I could not get the mouthpiece to come off. I kept pulling at it until I thought I was gonna break it, and I was afraid this was going to be a deal breaker. If I couldn’t get it off to clean it, it was going back. But luckily, what I ended up doing was just sticking a butter knife in the space there and just pried it forward gently and it popped right out. You can see in the pictures how it’s just in a little track there. There are no plastic pins holding it on the side that are going to break from too much stress.All my other bottles have had fixed carry handles. I didn’t realize how much I’d like being able to move it and swing it, but it is convenient. And the handle does stay in position. It doesn’t flip around or make any noise.It weighs less than a pound. My scale says 14.07oz. It’s 24.5cm-9 5/8 inches from the bottom to the top of the lid. With handle straight up it measures 29cm- about 11 1/2 inches. Width across is just about 8cm-3 1/8inchThe description, as well as the bottom says dishwasher safe, but if you look in the specs it says hand wash only. I’m guessing it’s fine, but I hand wash my insulated bottles, just to be on the safe side.I haven’t gotten a chance to test how long it holds I’ve, my ice maker is actually broken at the moment, but I’m sure it’ll be more than enough.All in all a great bottle, I highly recommend it. The only thing I would love to see is for Stanley to come out with a stainless steel straw compatible with this line. The plastic straw that comes with it is fine, it has a slanted tip which is nice, but if they sold steel ones I’d absolutely prefer that.
