Ello Hydra 64oz Half Gallon Water Jug with Handle and Motivational Time Markers for All Day Hydration, Plastic Reusable Water Bottle with Straw and Locking, Leak Proof Lid, BPA Free

Amazing Water Bottles
I initially purchased one of these water bottles to see if I enjoyed it. After having one for several days I decided to purchase a second bottle. These bottles are great because they are aesthetically pleasing. The colors are nice and soft and the bottles hold the perfect amount of water to drink throughout the day and evening. I also like how the bottle is dishwasher safe. I have washed mine in the topic rack multiple times and have had zero issue with warping or melting. Also, there was no weird chemical smells or tastes. I like the versatility of having two options to carry the bottle. You have the side handle and then you have a hidden handle that opens from the top. I also appreciate the lock feature to stop the button from working to open the straw area. I have had no issues with leaking and no issues with button functionality thus far and have owned both bottles for close to a month and used them interchangeably for that duration. These are a great value for the money.

What I’ve been looking for!
I have been cycling through water bottles for months now, one after the other, looking for my Perfect Bottle. I have learned I need a few things: A handle that doesn’t protrude (they keep getting broken), a lid that pops open and doesn’t need to be unscrewed, a straw I can use, an open airway that allows me to drink freely, a handle separate from the body of the bottle. These sound like fairly standard things for a water bottle to have but gosh darn it, I’ve had the hardest time checking off that list! (I also started to use a bottle carrier that helps keep my drinks colder longer, so that started to factor in- it’s kind of a bag type of carrier with an insulated body. It works to keep my ice cubes from melting and diluting my tea!) I don’t like refilling all the time, I drink a LOT of liquid, so I want 64oz minimum in size. With all these features in mind, I have been on a long, expensive road going through bottles to fit my criteria.I finally found everything I have been looking for in this bottle! I had forgotten what drinking from an unrestricted straw way was like! The last bottle -and the one I have used longest- for some reason has restricted airways so I have to keep unscrewing the lid to be able to drink. I think it’s a suction thing but seems a bit odd. That old one was a Zulu brand I found in Walmart. It had a handle on top to grab but it broke in about a week. I could still use it, it was just broken and it didn’t take the super glue at all. It protrudes off the back so doesn’t fit into the carrier bag well. It also has a hollow handle that is rather hard to clean. This new one, the Ello Hydra, fixes all those problems!This one has a hinged and collapsible handle that tucks away flush to the bottle top when not in use. I have experienced no air issues, so I can just /drink/ when I want to which should not be a novel idea but has become that. The handle does not seem hollow meaning no liquid gets slimy in places a brush can’t reach, which also means I may not need to clean with bleach now. The spout is still a soft silicone, which I like. The body of the bottle is smooth and rounded, which I like. The color matches my carrier bag extremely well which was not necessary, but I like it. I shouldn’t be this enthusiastic about a water bottle, but I am! It’s perfect! The long nightmare is over! This is the one to get! The ‘motivational’ time markers are just markers, there’s no motivational sayings with them which many others have. I don’t need motivation to drink and in a carrier, I can’t see them anyway. If you /need/ motivational sayings on your bottle, then this is probably not the bottle for you unless you want to Sharpie on your own phrases (an idea that has some merit). I am better than good with not having them. I am over the moon with this Ello Hydra bottle! Stupid, yes, but happy! 😀

Wanted to love, but it leaks
I really want to love this water bottle. I do like the handle and the spout you drink out of. I also like the markers on the sides of the bottle. However, not matter how much I tighten it or lock it, the minute it gets knocked over water is leaking out of it. I was drinking it on my bed and knocked it over and didn’t realize it until half my bed was wet. The pink color is very beautiful and I do like how much water it holds. But I’m clumsy and just can’t get past the leaking lid.

Good, basic, large water bottle
This is the perfect water bottle for my teenage son that likes to bring a big jug to the gym. It holds a lot of water, is sturdy, does not leak, and is a good quality product.

Es muy bonito y útil para tomar el agua personal del día y se notan los materiales de calidad.Hay que tomar en cuenta que es de 1.9L de capacidad, si es grande pero lo vale.Había leído comentarios que se derramaba el agua al voltearlo y dudé en comprarlo por esa razón, pero mi caso no fue así, lo he volteado por completo y no hay fugas de agua.Lo recomiendo mucho!

الشفط منه مره ممتاز و يروي مو يتعب وقت الشفطالجوده قويه لكن فيه عيب بطباعه على العلبه جاني مشخوط او ممسوحه لكن كمجمل العلبه ممتازه وجيده ومتينه
