BlenderBottle SportMixer Tritan Grip Shaker Bottle, Navy/Navy, 28-Ounce

Having been a competitive powerlifter and bodybuilder, I first hopped on the protein shake train some 20 years ago. While my competition days are over, I still maintain the lifestyle and consume at least one protein shake every day. Needless to say, I’ve been through countless shakers, bottles and other gadgets that seemed to function well in some areas, but fail miserably in others. Then I got the BLENDERBOTTLE SPORTMIXER and realized this particular shaker bottle has everything I could have wanted in shaker bottle and more.WHAT IT IS:- 28 oz. contoured bottle made of tritan (copolyester). The screw on drinking lid has a snap on cap. A wire “whisk” ball drops into the bottle to ground/pulverize/mix contents.WHAT MAKES IT SO GOOD:- The shape: The SPORTMIXER is cylindrical and contoured at the top for a better grip. Most of the shaker bottles I’ve used are conical/flared toward the top and don’t allow a solid grip for vigorous shaking (especially when some bottles require a finger or two to keep the cap or top from opening).- The material: Eastman Tritan … an uber-solid alternative to plastic that is extremely durable/strong, clear, lightweight, easy to clean, dishwasher safe and remains odorless. No cheap plastic here … this thing can take a beating.- The lid: the lid securely screws to the bottle and eliminates the worry of leaks/drips. The drinking spout is large. In my opinion, shakes are quick/on-the-fly meals that are generally chugged (even more-so if your protein powder of choice tastes like garbage and you’re in “function over taste” mode). Too many shaker bottles don’t pay attention to such details and offer a spout akin to a sippy-cup or have you drinking from an open cup (likely causing spillage). While we will most likely pour shake contents into the bottle with the lid off, the drinking spout is big enough to accommodate gulping, dropping berries into your shake or adding water from your kitchen sink.- The cap: This is often a much over-looked aspect of shaker bottles, but it is pretty important. Too many times a spout cap opens while shaking a cheap bottle and I’ve developed a habit of putting my fingers over the cap to prevent this from happing. Unfortunately, cheaper shaker bottles have caps that are poorly designed, oddly shaped or don’t allow a secure place to put my fingers. The SPORTMIXER addresses all issues with a cap that not only securely snaps in place, but has a deep recess that actually allows me to hook my finger into it. The cap tilts back far enough to keep it from touching your nose when drinking and incorporates a ring for carrying or hooking to a bag. Functional design.- Rubber: The contoured portion of the bottle’s cylinder has a wide rubber ring for added grip. Even better, the lid has a rubber ring with a knobs for a better grip when twisting the lid on or off the bottle.- One side of the bottle has an easy to read volume scale that shows both oz. and ml.- There are a multitude of color combinations for both the bottle and the cap. The only problem I have with the bottle is that I opted for the black/black version which makes it difficult to see the contents unless you hold the bottle up to the light … no big deal.The SPORTMIXER provides everything I want in shaker bottle. The folks at BlenderBottle didn’t just churn out a shaker bottle, they obviously understand the needs of the market and designed a product that not only meets demands, but is built to last.

Summary: It is worth it, and improves a great deal over the original blender bottle. Cleaning is slightly more difficult, but other additions in function make up for it.I wanted this bottle to bring to work with protein shakes. The great part is that is is dark so my coworkers don't ask what the nasty looking stuff I am drinking is. It also looks really good with the black/red mix I think. The bottle also now has some rubbery grips on the side and on the top, which is great to help grip it with sweaty hands after a workout. This bottle reminds me a lot more of a Nalgene material then the regular style blender bottle. That is a good thing, as I think this bottle could withstand some serious abuse.Other users complained that this bottle is too hard to open. I've uploaded a user photo to this page that shows the "easy" way to open the bottle. But basically just put your thumb under the front lip and lift up. It is much easier to do this then to try to pry it open using the back of the clip. It isn't hard to open at all the "correct" way if you ask me. Overall great design and improvements from the older style.Pros:-Rubber grip helps you to hold on to bottle while shaking-Hourglass shape helps to hold on to bottle while shaking-Tinted body allows you to see liquid level but keeps actual product discreet-Improved styling/color-"Nalgene" like bottle material seems indestructible-Best mixer around-Improved cap no longer has interior ring that is hard to clean-Rubber on sides of lid for easy removal-Hook for attaching to carabiner or grabbingCons:-Cap too difficult to flip open for weak people/my gym bag-Additional crevices on interior body make cleaning difficult-Dark body color hides dirt on interior-Expensive bottle just to get the all important patented blender wisk-Not free-Doesn't do workouts for meOverall this is a great improvement to the bottle that is an essential for any gym rat to casual yoga mom. It might cost a few bucks more then the imitation ones your gym hands out for free, but the price is well worth it and might even make you look forward to that double chocolate whey protein scoop.

I own the original Blender bottle and am VERY impressed with that. This bottle shares some of the traits which make that bottle excellent.1) Good materials: It's made of nice plastic. This sport bottle has a nice rubber grip on it as well as an additional hanging clasp incorporated into the cap lid. It is durable and I'm not worried about breaking it.2) Great fit: Both Blender products are well-made. The top screws onto the bottle tightly and firmly. There is no danger of the threads breaking or popping. The cap seals the lid tightly and I've never had it leak when I've sealed it properly. You hear a definitive "click" when the cap is secured.3) Nice looks: This bottle looks nice. I am not really concerned with "fashion" while at the gym, but I do like the black look with the blue accents.4) Function: The main point is to have a bottle that works, right? Well, the stainless steel wisk mixes up my protein shake mixture (currently 3 separate products) quite well and quickly. I have not used it for anything BUT protein shakes and the like.The only con with respect to this bottle is that the opening is a bit smaller than the basic Blender Bottle. This makes it a little more difficult to pour a full cup of protein powder into it, but it is still big enough to accept it by tilting a bit. Also, the material is very opaque. This is good in that you don't show what is inside the bottle, but I've found it to be a little difficult to tell whether my powder is completely mixed or if I have some sitting in the bottom of the bottle.I love the quality and functionality of this bottle. I usually put in my powders dry and put the bottle in my gym bag, then fill it up at the gym. Works great. Consider me a Blender Bottle customer!

Vraiment génial, bonne prise en main et facile à nettoyer

Inzwischen mein dritter Shaker mit dem Blender Ball. Robust, leicht zu reinigen und das Ergebnis beim Shaken ist für mich nicht zu übertreffen. Klare Kaufempfehlung!!!

Little bottle, comfy to use 👍 just close the lid well before shaking.
