ContigoAUTOSEAL Cortland Water Bottle, 24 oz., Smoke

There's lots to like about this bottle, and very little to dislike. All in all, it's my favorite among the many that I've had over the past several years. It's just the right size to have enough water (24oz or ~750 mL -- actually a bit more) but not be too big and bulky or too heavy to tote around. Once you fill it and seal it, it is pretty much leak-proof. It has a really easy to use push button opening mechanism to allow you to drink without it spilling while in your bag or if it falls over in the car -- and btw it fits nicely in a car cup holder. I love that it has a little flip-lid that covers the drinking mouthpiece so you don't get debris in it.The only downsides and these aren't REALLY complaints, is that it does sweat if the liquid you fill it with is cold and the air around it is humid. I don't think it's really meant for hot beverages. If you fill it beyond the 24oz mark, you need to push the spout release button so that pressure doesn't build up and push liquid up into the seal -- that will dribble on you later.... just keep the liquid below the fill line and this won't happen, or push the release button while you screw the top on. And... cleaning the lid is a bit of a chore. After awhile, it can get slimy, and there's lots of crevices to try to clear. I just open the release on the spout closure, throw it in the top rack of the dishwasher, and it comes out clean.

UPDATE:DO NOT FREEZE BOTTLEI like to freeze mine until the water gets a little crystalized. However, with this model when I did that and pressed the auto seal, the connecting piece snapped, a spring popped out, and the bottle was dead. Took it back to target for a refund, ordered another (for cheaper!) here. Lesson learned. But if freezer-to-sipping is a dealbreaker for you, this bottle won't work. The mouth is wide enough for ice cubes thankfully!First, let me prove what high standards for a water bottle I have: This is even better than my last Contigo, aka my sickness buddy - my last Contigo was like an extension of my hand through a long term illness, and nursing. I mean I was never, ever seen without this thing. I never left the room, let alone the house, without it. That's love. I filled it 4 times a day at least (glug glug glug). However I dropped it so many times the lip was jagged and asking for bacteria growth, and eventually the silicone-like piece just inside the lip started to turn orange, which grossed me out despite cleaning it. I need products that can get completely clean, and ideally without a ton of effort bc I spend enough time obsessing over cleanliness as is. Anyway. Needed a new BFF.I tried a few other brands from Target. Liked an open mouth design, bought 3 for the family. All 3 broke from mundane use within a week.Contigo, save me! Enter my cool sky blue buddy.A lot has already been said, my ramblings plus other reviews so I'll say this: I've had it two months, and the seal hasn't failed me (knock wood). The auto seal button gives almost too much resistance, so I have to wonder if the spring has been strengthened? I like that my kiddo can't press the button if she hands it to me.I love the gray flip cover, which I finally realized is to keep grime out of your mouthpiece, not prevent leaks. Sand, purse crumbs, pollen, etc.No leaks ever! And I toss it in a backpack constantly. Fits in a standard cup holder and backpack mesh cupholder. Steaming hot water and dish soap seem to reach all the nooks and crannies, and no soft silicone areas to get all gross or dry out and crack.Getting a second one for safety!!

I originally got this exact brand of water bottle from my work with my work logo on it. I used the water bottle for a short time before I gave it to someone who needed one. I immediately started missing the water bottle. So I went online and searched for the same water bottle, and found it.I really love the Autoseal feature. I is conveniently placed towards the back of the water bottle under the travel loop. It is easy to press in which lowers this ball looking thing allowing water to flow from the water bottle. It is easy to use, and I never have any issues with it. When you wash the water bottle, the Autoseal mechanism can be popped off from inside the lid, to be washed separately. This helps get any built up grim in cracks.To the right hand side of the Autoseal button, there is a small locking tab that you can slide from left to right. This allows you to lock the waterbottle, so you don't accidentally hit the Autoseal when it is in your bag. Since I have a bad habit of carrying my MacBook in my purse with my water bottle, this makes me feel a lot more at ease. I have yet to have any leaks with the water bottle, when I ALWAYS have had previous leaks in many different types of bottles.There is also a flap or lid that you can close over the top of the drinking area. This is also another precautionary way to prevent any leaks. It also lets you protect the drinking portion from collecting any dirt or anything that may be flying in the air and can settle there.The last feature I love is the caribeaner part of the carrying handle. It allows me to snap it to my purse or bag for easy transportation. It is easy to use and seems really sturdy.I have been using this water bottle for about 3 months now. I have dropped more than a handful of times on the cement ground. Nothing has chipped or broke. The water bottle is very sturdy. The plastic is strong where it doesn't bend when squeezed.

Sometimes the autoseal doesn't fully close and it drips. Maybe I did something wrong but I can't figure out what. When it works I love it... very convenient water bottle

Eu tenho uma garrafa antiga com o bico comum, que não permite "sugar a água", apenas inclinar e esperar ela cair. E eu detesto garrafas com canudo, não parecem higiênicas. Esse bico novo é muito bom, não deixa a água vazar e dá pra realmente puxar a água enquanto vocêe toma que não cria vácuo na garrafa e para o fluxo que nem na antiga. 10/10, além de ser bonita e claramente feita de um material excelente.

Delivery time good.

I love these bottles. Easy to drink from, good size and easy to clean.

This is the most practical water bottle I've owned. It is sturdy and I find the flip-cap and press button opening keeps the opening clean and stops drips.The killer feature for me is the built-in clip. I always bring this bottle on my day hikes and the built-in clip means I don't have to carry a day pack: instead I hook a cheap snap-lock on my belt at the hip and attach the water bottle (see photo)

Good sized bottle. The auto seal is convenient as it prevents spillage when drinking. Easy for children to use as well. It’s good that the inside of the lid can be brought down for cleaning. My only grouse is that it’s easy for the spring to come apart when cleaning the inside of the lid. Not as sturdy as another brand (A***) with similar auto seal lid.The handle of the bottle has a little snap hook which makes it handy to hook on the bag strap when needed. Other brand (A***) has a better lid design but only has a handles without the snap hook.
