Design For Living 5097664 6-Piece Stackable Water Bottle Set with Spill Resistant Lid, Assorted

I didn't Google and find this on Amazon sooner, because the brand name is hard to see on my smoke grey bottle.Around 10 years ago I bought the 32 oz at Container Store, and they never stocked it there again. So I treated mine as non-replaceable being careful not to lose it, but I dropped it every few weeks for 10 years. I've left it at local places but thankfully not in another city, so I've always been able to retrieve it.I can't tell you how was elated to find the 6-pack. I still use my old one but no longer have fear of losing it. And now I have the16-oz ones that will fit in smaller handbags. Mine only leaks when I don't push the top in fully. Once it's in securely I can turn it sideways or upside down, no leaking.PROS:Durable, leak resistant/proof, wide mouth, shatter resistant, seemingly crack proof, that excellent twist up/down top.CONS:Took me 10 years to find another one. Brand name should be in contrasting colors on the tinted versions.

Love.these. I ordered two sets about two years ago. My family uses these everyday and they have withstood two young boys and adults. They seal tightly and travel in my kids lunches. The family drinks more water since I started keeping these in the fridge. It's easy for kids and adults to grab one and go. They bring them back to me. I wash them at night and refill them. And repeat this everyday. They are quick and easy to clean and hold up well over time. I'm getting more for ease, since we use them so often, but the older ones are still going strong. We've dropped them, had them shoved in car cup holders, and taken to picnics, etc. They are hardly even scratched and you would never know they are as old as they are. We have put small water flavor packs in them, at times, and they don't stain. Recommend highly.

These would have been absolutely perfect had they been round and not rectangular. They do not fit in the cup holder of our VW Golf or our Golfing Bagboy Quad push cart. They also wouldn't fit in the bottle holders on some equipment at the fitness center. So if you need a portable, reusable bottle that will fit these items, this is not the correct choice. Otherwise they would be great. So nothing bad about the product, it just doesn't fit these receptacles.

My favorite part about these bottles is the look. I've actually gotten a ton of compliments on how cool and unique they are. They do sweat a lot and do not keep the water cold, but that's what I expected with plain plastic water bottles. I was only looking to get reusable ones to replace the disposable I had been using.Problems:The caps - They work fine for the most part and I appreciate that they are water tight, however, if you accidentally screw in on just a hair too tight, they're done for. My husband did this to one of them and from then on out the cap would pop off if you squeezed the bottle at all. Also, I've noticed that sometimes I guess water gets between the rubber stopper and the hard plastic cap and will leak out when I open it. Just a few drops, but it does tend to spill right on my shirt. ha!Durability - They seem to do fine with being tossed in a bag, but they don't do so well being dropped. One of the big ones hit the ground while I was on a dirt hiking trail and got pretty scuffed up. One of the small ones was dropped onto a gravel parking lot from tire height near my car and split right down the middle. Unfortunately, after contacting the company, they said they could not help with a replacement. I guess banging on a counter (from the video) is one thing, but dropping is another. Oh well.In the end, they do well in the dishwasher and hold water so overall I'm happy with them! Plus, great price!

I originally found one of these in a thrift store...needed a bottle that wouldn't roll if knocked over. It lasted about three months, so I bought this set. The reason the first one broke is that the material is inferior...up by the neck on each hollowed side the bottle got deep cracks through normal use that grew and leaked...the simple act of holding onto the bottle caused them! the weight of the water and the grip required to raise the bottle to drink was enough to cause more cracks. I paid around $34.-$36.00 dollars and WASTED MY MONEY, as the bottles in this set lasted only about a week. Very disappointed. Never buying again.

The bottles themselves are very nice. They're not suitable for cup holders, but that's not a big issue for me. I haven't noticed any taste from them like you get with most other bottles. I did drop one intentionally a couple of times just to see how the bottoms will hold up, and it hasn't broken or cracked.The reason for the 2 star review, is the caps. I've only had these for about 2 weeks or so, and 3 have failed already. They won't lock into place like they should. They just keep spinning. As long as I remember to not lay them down, they still work OK. I just can't trust them to not leak or have the cap somehow come off.

I have been using these leakproof triton bottles for a couple weeks now and I'm very impressed. I especially enjoy drinking from the smooth lip. The bottles seal with a rubber plug that goes inside the bottle, eliminating the need for screw threads. Personally, I like the blue bottles best and I much prefer the 32 oz size. But for kids or lunch boxes, the 16 oz size probably works better. I filter my tap water with ZeroWater filtration pitchers, then pour the filtered water into these Design For Living bottles and keep them in the refrigerator. Very handy. I think once you try these bottles you will find you have no need for other bottles (unless you're looking for an insulated thermos bottle, and in that case I recommend the Zojirushi 20 oz mug).

I will just be so sad if these bottles are ever discontinued. As it is, they are not easy to find, but so wonderful to have once they're in your hands. They stack in the fridge effortlessly and wash well.The only thing I would say bad about them is that the covers tend to start getting musty on the inside after a few years, and it is impossible to get off. So I just bought new bottles.Would love to see one more size up from the largest one.
