SHO Stainless Steel Water Bottle - Leak Proof, BPA Free, No Sweat, Vacuum Insulated Double Walled Metal Flask - Original 2.0-12 Hours Hot 24 Hours Cold

I like SHO a stainless steel bottles. I have a larger one and cold water stays really cold for 24 hrs. Pleased to have a smaller version to fit a smaller bag.

Good bottle, keeps the water cold. Sturdy and colour true to photo.

these are great value and great at keeping drinks cold, have a few now

Brilliant bottles, well made, lovely designs, a size for all occasions, great packing tube too. Quick delivery and good price

This bottle it’s really amazing it keeps my coffee hot for hours .

Everything about this bottle is great except the colour. It looked like I was purchasing a pale soft baby-pink colour but in reality it is shocking pink which is a shame, I would have exchanged it but needed it for a few journeys a would not have received the exchange one in time.

Wanted a smaller one than one we already had. Fits my bag better.

Purchased two 500ml bottles to give me cold water to top up my insulated camelbak 'eddy'. Didn't intend to drink from the opening but I'm pleased to say that this is not sharp and would be perfectly acceptable/comfortable to drink from, should you choose to.I wanted two different colours so I could identify different contents easily if necessary. Ideally I would have chosen white and black, but black was out of stock at the time so I ordered stainless steel instead.Unfortunately the stainless does show fingerprints as I had anticipated however this is not a deal breaker as far as I'm concerned as their requirement was primarily to be functional and not 'pretty' although aesthetically they are an elegant looking bottle.Now for the important bit...Having only had them a couple of days I can't comment on their watertight properties yet but will be monitoring this on Monday when I take them to work.Cautiously optimistic re their claims of insulation effectiveness I put them to the test.In an ambient room temperature of approximately 23 degrees,I filled one with boiling water and the other with water chilled from the fridge. I was a little disappointed that the neck opening (30mm) was slightly too narrow to comfortably get an ice cube through, but undeterred I was able to add 4 small cubes with a little gentle persuasion.After 4 hrs the cold still had ice chips, no condensation on the outside and was a really nice ice cold drinkable temperature.The hot had steam and was extremely hot (too hot to drink straight away) I tested hourly from then on till 12 hrs.Both were still impressively working at that point so the next time I checked was at 25.5 hrs.The hot was still warm enough to drink and the cold still cool enough to be acceptable to me.At 28 hrs they were still doing their thing, albeit much less intensely now and so I gave up at this point as I was impressed enough.They both had more than proven their worth .!Compared to the non insulated plastic bottles I have been using , where the ice has disappeared within an hour of being at work these are brilliantly impressive. The diameter of the bottom of the bottle is approx 70mm which fits easily into the cup holder in the centre console of our car, however as they are quite tall it will be more convenient to keep them in the inner door pockets instead.So, having been highly sceptical I'm very pleased with the performance of these bottles thus far and so impressed I'm considering getting a litre bottle for the car so the dogs can enjoy ice cold water too.Will update if the paint starts to chip or the tops leak over time.27/06/2017 UpdateNo leaks from either bottle, however as a reviewer elsewhere has observed, the powder coating on the coloured bottle (white in my case) scratches easily..be warned!
