What is the Best Water Bottle, and Which is Best for You? (31 Bottles!)

Confused by all the water bottles on the market today and want to make sure you get the best one? You're not alone. The market is incredibly saturated, and every bottle brand claims to have the best solution and features.

I've collected over 30 bottles for this business, and in this video I'm going to show you all of them, as well as give the main pros and cons of each one. This includes the big names like YETI, Stanley, Hydro Flask, and increasingly Owala, as well as some lesser known brands like FJbottle and EcoVessel. I'll also give my recommendations on good bottles (and ones to avoid) for different situations, like best for hiking and best all-around.

This video proves that there's a YouTube expert for everything.

[DiamondJoyJoy]

THANK YOU for taking the time to do this video. Your videos are always so thorough which is so so appreciated. It’s not cheap to try out different bottles, and there’s really only 1 way to find out if the bottle is good or not… Which is why this video is so helpful!

[idle_sheep]

I just ordered a Stanley and you post this video lol. Time to watch and decide if I have to return it. Appreciate the work you do!

[chrisbaker]

Can you make a video reviewing multiple glass water bottles and determining which is best. I saw in one of the previous videos you ranked glass as the best bottle material

[TYBZM]

I recently purchased a FJBottle and I personally love it so far!

[janmckenzie]

You missed one, a best in class for me

Stanley 20oz Trigger-Action lid. No handle. The trigger action is no leak, easy to clean, with the standard Stanley quality.

Also comes in 16 oz.

I bought an Owala and it's OK, but I find I'm not using it that much. The combined straw/chug lid feels like an awkward compromise that doesn't work perfectly for either thing. I mentioned this on another video but I prefer lids that pop open with a button. I'm currently trying a Thermos brand I got at Target. I have an old Thermos made for hot drinks that still works well after about 20 years. I might keep the Owala to use in the car since it does have a straw (even if it's not a very good one).

[sinigangpapi]

Owala is the best! Easiest to clean over any brand. The carrying handle isn't the best but once you're used to it doesn't even feel like you're carrying anything! Also, they have the best color way, best sip/chug in 1 design mechanism. It has a mouth cover so it keeps it away from debris and all it takes is push of a button to open it. It is the most convenient bottle I have ever used but seriously though it only takes but 3 minutes to disassemble, clean all parts and put back together which is the main thing that sold me. I can even put juice, coffee, or sodas as long as I clean it afterwards it's amazing I highly recommend,

You should try the coleman freeflow. Never looked at another thermos since I bought mine. I use it for everything (international flights all year included) and it is built like a tank. I also use zojirushi, their insulated thermos have an insulation that is simply unbelieveable.

[BH-snws]

Eco Vessel has a larger strainer that you can buy to use for infusion.

[Leifthefox]

I bought an owala for college and ended up wanting a different bottle later on, the straw in it bother me often ive realized and carrying it was a pain! I think im gonna order an fj bottle instead, thanks for this video!

[Jose]

I recommend yeti for it's sturdiness. Just change the cap for a more practical off brand chug lid, that's what I did.

[MahadHirad]

Good afternoon. What are the differences between bottle caps? And what beverages are associated with different bottle caps?

[spacedoutcat]

Thanks for this video! I used to have a Mira (knockoff Swell?) that looked just like the Swell bottle you showed. I liked it a lot but I lost it and want to switch to something with a straw. This list was super helpful!

[CoreyDowning]

another potential alternative to bottle bright would be espresso machine cleanser/detergent, particularly if you're vessel is regularly used for coffee drinks. should do a better job removing residual coffee oils and stains and is significantly cheaper.

[GSX.YYY_]

Top 3: Stanley, Awola, and Yeti.
Best Aesthetics: Yeti, Larqu, and Awola.
Best bottle overall: FJ Bottle (somehow).

[hopequen]

I have 3 water bottles. I have Hydro Flask on the go, Stanley in my room at home, and The Coldest Water on my desk at work.

[litrick]

Great vid. Id love to see some brumates added bc i really like that their lids fully seal unlike other brands like yeti

[earthyadventurer]

Between the FJ bottle and the Takeya which would you ultimately pick?

[Xechor]

Recommend Coldest brand also, but i use Owala more
