Review on 💧 Stay Hydrated in Style with the Ello Syndicate Glass Water Bottle and Convenient Flip Lid by Ramon Hood

I've been dreaming of one of these bottles for a long time when I first saw them at a health food store for over $30. And while I preferred glass to plastic, I waited. And I seem to have forgotten it too. Looks like there are a lot of options in a much cheaper range! So I checked out a few, played around with them and finally settled on the Ello Syndicate for a number of reasons, although there are a few things I wish were/or weren't. Here are my thoughts: Glass! - Clean Taste / No Residual Odors: I love the idea of the glass bottle so much. It really makes the taste a lot cleaner and the smell of non-water drinks isn't a permanent residue like in my reusable plastic bottles. Lid! - Flip cover: You can use this with one hand. The cap lifts and slides away from the neck of the bottle so you can drink without hitting your face or losing the cap. Fiction! - No spills: I use my bottles on the go and at home. We have large dogs and one blind dog so we occasionally spill. Also, we live in a village with horses, and in the summer bugs come to us like flies. Even if it's the only thing that goes in, it's what goes into freshly brewed iced coffee! silicone case! - Clutch protection: This sleeve works great. This makes it easier to hold the bottle and offers decent protection against bumps and bumps in everyday life. You or your child drop it on a tile and it can still break. This is GLASS. Even glassy plastic can shatter if improperly dropped onto tile. Can be washed in the dishwasher! - Easy to Clean: So many travel mugs are not DW safe. Especially coffee glasses or insulating containers. They can be great, but they hurt when washed. or if someone who isn't careful throws them into the HD and breaks them. well it stinks. It's easy to wash. Just remove the lid, open the lid to let the soap in (also where some people get black mold), and place everything on the top shelf. Tip #1: On many items that DW doesn't dry thoroughly, like mugs, dishes, or anything with crevices or items that collect water, like lips or nicks. Dry this on a dish rack and let it dry completely before sealing it again. This is also to prevent mold growth. Tip #2: Get a couple of bottles for each person using these bottles. You can then simply turn it over to clean and dry each day. Good price! - Affordable: Compared to $30 each when I first saw these bottles years ago, this is a good price and you can probably afford to buy a pair. (which helps keep them clean as above). MSRP appears to be $14.99. I got my first two at Target and liked them so much I bought a pair online here at Revain. One was on sale, the other was RRP. I am still very satisfied with the product and the price. Interchangeable lids! - Economical and eco-friendly: Don't throw away (or recycle) everything if the lid breaks. Get a new topper! Replacement Cap for Ello Syndicate Glass Water Bottle, Coral. If they don't stock them at Revain (they used to, but now they're out of stock) you can probably order them directly from the company. then the carpet - already twice and everything is fine. The only thing that happened was that once the seal in the lid broke and it leaked a little. I drank a fizzy drink (Emergen-C and Alka Seltzer for my sinuses that had recently been ravaged by a nearby fire) and that, along with a tumble and fall from desk height, caused a temporary leak. Design changes I'd like: Grip: The tape grip is sturdy but feels a bit short (I have small women's hands). I wish it was long enough to work like a bracelet. It's also a fabric, so it stays damp every time you wash it. You can *mostly* dry it, but it takes a little effort - wringing it out with a kitchen towel a few times - and it stays damp for a while. Hand washing between uses of the same bottle on the same day is annoying. I would like plastic, silicone or rubber. Slightly less porous than grosgrain. Wish List: Option for a shorter/thicker bottle with the same cap and silicone sleeve. As mentioned, I use them at home and on the go. On the go, this model is perfect - it even fits in the cup holders of my tiny shopping cart. At home, due to its height and small size, it is more likely to tip over. I would LOVE a model of this design, this size (but maybe bigger, to be honest! 32 ounces!) but short so it can't tip over. Conclusion: I love this bottle and the price is right! I would highly recommend and will probably get more in the future especially if they do a big short Syndicate model! ;-)
