Review on Contigo Autospout Ashland Water Bottle Kitchen & Dining by Keith Bradley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Lots of room for improvement. Why is it so popular?

Let's comment on the features: 1. It's easy to drink from it: you can definitely drink it with one hand, but it needs strong suction to get the water out of the straw. You need to pause and get some air before you can continue drinking. 2. Leakproof: no. Just today my bag got wet. It leaks even when closed! If you can't fit a water bottle in your bag, how are you supposed to take it with you? Always manual? Makes no sense, does it? 3. Easy to clean: I don't think so. The water bottle is so deep that the dishwasher can't do its job. It's ok if you just pour water in it, but it's not easy to clean if you're pouring protein shakes or milk etc and don't know how to clean the straw/lid because you can't disassemble it. 4. Size: Big size allows me to drink enough water every day. I drink two bottles, so 80 ounces total. However, the lower part is so thick that it does not fit in any bottle holder, car or stroller! I bought my husband and kids 32oz to avoid this problem. One last annoying thing: the straw clicks every time I open it. It feels like someone is spitting on me. So annoying!
