I used this bottle exactly once and washed it the same way I do all of my stainless steel bottles - hand-washed in the sink with a bottle brush. Somehow, the outside of the bottle is covered in very noticeable marks. I never dropped it and it never left home. No clue how the marks got there.

As for performance, it does keep water cold. The capacity is quite small but I knew that going in. Overall, I don't feel like the quality matches the asking price. I have the red version as well and its coating seems more durable.

This Slim Hydroluxe 17oz water bottle is Eco-Friendly, BPA Free, and constructed of 18/8 Powder Coated Stainless Steel. The bottle keeps your beverages cold for hours. I like that the shape is not like everyother bottle.

Been on the hunt for the “perfect” water bottle for a while. This one is very sleek and love the bright aqua shade. The wooden stopper design with a loop handle on the top is a nice touch making it very modern. It fits nicely in the hand without slipping out of it. Since the bottom is a bit wider, it stands firmly on surfaces. Tested and it’s indeed leakproof.

This is, visually, a new way to carry your beverages with you. It is conical in shape, the bottom being wider than the top. It has a screw-on, screw-off top with a loop to make it easy to hang from a finger or two. It holds 17 ounces of any beverage and will keep it hot or cold for an average 4 to 5 hours. It is sturdy, and fits into virtually any cup holder. Its smaller size is ideal for children between ages 6 years to 10 or 11 years old. You will need to use a bottle-cleaner sponge or brush and warm, soapy water to clean it, with little effort. My icemaker produces bullet-shaped ice which easily fit through the narrow top. It's not wide enough to fit cubes. If taken good care of, I believe that it'll be durable in the long run. There is no glass in its interior; nothing to break.

I find that I end up doing a better job hydrating when I like the bottle.

Here are a few of my favorite things about the bottle:
- This water bottle is as gorgeous in person than the photos
- It's easy to drink out of
- Easy to clean
- The spout is big enough to put ice in the bottle
- Perfect size for carrying around in your hand or backpack

My only wish for this bottle is if it had a silicone sleeve at the bottom of the bottle to keep it protected.

And it might be important to some- it's not intended for the dishwasher. That is fine by me, as I just use it for water and it's super easy to clean. I put a bit of soap and replace the lid and give it a shake. Then dump it out and clean the exterior. Quick and easy for me!
