HostFreeze Double Walled Insulated Water Bottle Freezer Tumbler with Active Cooling Gel Stainless Steel Lid and Silicone Grip, Set of 1-20 oz (590ml) Plastic Bottle, Black

Bought this with high hopes of having a cold drink at work during the hot weather but sadly hopes were dashed. Had it upside down in the freezer all night as told to on the instructions and yet after taking it out at 7.30 to go to work by 10 the drink is tepid at best. You can see the gel in the clear top is all melted despite the bottle being kept in the shade and in a a coolish area.

This thing sucks. It might keep your drink cold, but only what stays in the cup. It leaks like crazy. I was willing to accept a cup without a straw in exchange for it being leakproof but this is NOT that cup.

In the summer I spend my weekends in my garden. Being out in the sun for long periods of time, my water warms up pretty quick, even in a stainless steel water bottle. This is the PERFECT solution for me! It keeps my water cold for hours and it takes a LONG time for the gel to melt. It also holds a really good amount of water so I don't have to keep running back inside to get more. The silicone sleeve keeps your hands from getting cold, and I like that it has a lid for easy transport. Easy to clean and throw back in the freezer for next day. Would totally recommend and will be purchasing more for my family and as gifts. Thanks for a super quality product HOST!

As a regular sturdy cup this is fine. As a cup that keeps drinks cold its an epic fail.I received this cup yesterday and immediately wash it up and put it in the freezer for 8 hrs. I wanted to make sure it was ready for bed time. I often wake up with coughing fits in the middle of the night and cold water helps to sooth my throat. I had been freezing bottles of water but recently went to filtered water. I was looking for a bottle that would help keep the water ice cold. This bottle seemed perfect.Last night I excitedly filled my new bottle after it had been in the freezer and got ready for bed. Within an hour of tossing and turning I grabbed for the bottle and noticed it was sweating. When I woke up about 7 hrs later I noticed the water was room temperature. So today I took the bottle and froze it with the water in it. Thinking that the ice in the water would surely make a difference. The pictures I included shows how much the bottle sweat and the ring it left after just 2 hrs at room temperature.Bottom line is it didn't work, even when I keep the house at 68- 70 degrees. I'm disappointed and already canceled buying it for my mother.

Here are the reasons I'm loving this cooling water bottle1. It's large. The image compares it to a Powerade bottle.2. The weight. It has a really nice weight to it. Feels very solid to carry.3. Durable. The black plastic absorbs hits and falls so it will last a long time4. It keeps my water cold.

Really liked this product as it has a large capacity and kept my beverage cold for a long time! The silicone grip makes it easy to hold and you won't have to worry about the bottle sliding around. Handle would be nice but other than that it does the job. Make sure to hand wash only.
