Strada™ Stainless Steel Blender Bottle

I wanted to wait and use this for a while before giving a review. I've had it for about 2 months now, and i couldn't be happier. I use it mainly for my water intake at both home and work. I only ever used plastic shakers in the past, and while I liked them, they are not very good at keeping liquids cool for any extended period of time. I bought this as i was going with my son to his school's camp for a week in hopes that I could be out all day and it still remain cold. Well, it did! I work outside all day for my job, and despite the outside of it feeling warm, the liquid stayed very cold. This is while it was in direct sunlight. I use it all day long for my water needs. I bought the red color bottle, and it looks great. I have not used it for my protein shakes yet, but IO have no reason to believe it wouldn't keep those cold as well. I like the lock feature, and it is stupid-easy to use. In fact, having the lock feature helped so that the lid wouldn't pop open while in my backpack. I will probably purchase a 2nd one in the future. This product is well worth the money!

This is a great blender bottle. Like with all insulated bottles the capacity is much smaller than the overall size of bottle, but still has plenty of room. Had to pay for shipping to east coast which isn't ideal but this isn't a budget item. It definitely feels premium. Not a huge fan of the locking mechanism and it is tricky to clean because of all the moving parts. Also makes it hard to dry so if you clean right before use, you'll be shaking water droplets everywhere leaving you to think the lid may not be closed.

Overall, its better than the ones you'd get at a local CVS/Walgreens but you will pay a higher price. A more sleek design on top would make this a 5 star item
