This will keep ice for over 24 hours!!!I love this bottle, not only for the color, but also for the feel of the texture. The top of the bottle is small enough to facilitate drinking in a car in movement without spilling liquid, and big enough to put cubes of ice into it. The liquid inside is kept cold for 24 hours, even if you leave the bottle in the car for hours in the sun. The bottle will be very hot in the outside, but the liquid will be cold, the ice will not melt, because of the inner bottle being separated form the outer one.This is a nice small size for carrying in my golf bag or when out on appointments. It keeps the water cold.Keeps my drink very cold. I have left it overnight and the next day, poured my drink out, and it was still very cold. Insulated well. I have two sizes.Made well. Nice texture. The size I bought is a little small. I’d recommend the next size up. (From small)Love my Sho bottle! Keeps my water cold for a very long time! Love the colors! Very durable! I would buy again!I don't blame the seller but Amazon says the return date expired on August 9th. I went on vacation..out of the country on the 7th. I took the bottle with me and unfortunately it leaked. I had to discard of it because it didn't work. I attempted to contact the seller and Amazon does not allow me. Disappointed in Amazon, I give them tons of businessAt first I thought this product was great and I gave it 5 stars. It kept my water cold in my non air conditioned office all summer, it looked great and seemed robust. But 5 months on and I would no longer recommend this bottle to anyone. I wanted a reusable water bottle, that kept things chilled, did not leak and looked great. I haven’t got any of those things which for the price is not on. One the lid is very poor quality after 4 month use, with water only, the seal on the lid had gone and the bottle leaked, badly. Whilst this is fine standing on my desk I can no longer take it with me in my bag rendering it pretty useless as a refillable water bottle. Two It no longer keeps my cold water cold, this maybe down to the lack of seal, again useless for the environment I am using it in. Three it stinks of mould! Especially the plastic section of the lid. Seeing that I only use water in this bottle and clean it daily with warm soapy water, I have no idea why this is but I cannot drink from something that smells like the lid is rotting. Having read other reviews it seems I am not the only one with this issue. Four the outside is scratched despite spending most of its time stationary on a desk. Any little knock seems to mark this bottle. Effectively this expensive bottle is now, after 5 months of use, landfill which is exactly what I wanted to avoid. Cheaper supermarket bottles have performed better.I can't recommend these bottles highly enough. I've bought two now - one for work and one for my bag.They live up to their claims in terms of maintaining the temperature of their contents. They're all-metal construction, so no worrying about glass inside. The stopper fits well, and the seals are robust and effective.I've bashed them around a bit too. It's normal to have these things take a bit of abuse, especially if they're out and about with you, but the powder coating is holding up exceptionally well.They're as easy to clean as any other water bottle. Generally, if you don't leave leftovers inside for ages and rinse them after you use them, then you're fine. If you do want to clean them more thoroughly, the neck is more than large enough to stick a bottle brush inside and scrub it. I use Milton sterilising tablets to get rid of smells. Fill the bottle with cold water, add one tablet, leave for half an hour, empty and rinse. Spotless. The outside you can wipe clean.These bottles look good too. I don't want something that looks like I'm playing soldiers, nor something that's going to look out of place on my desk in the office. It ticks all the boxes. A high-quality item that I expect will last a long time if it's not stolen.Ooh, I like this bottle! I bought one in yellow - holds 250ml - purely for those shorter trips out, such as shopping etc. I have larger ones for taking to my allotment or on days away. Really stylish and so much nicer than a plastic water bottle, which bleeds chemicals over time, anyway, and aren’t as easy to clean. Very sturdy design. Actually feels good quality, not cheap and nasty. You do get what you pay for, and this was a treat to me! If folk added up the amount of money they spend on bottled water compared to what they save by using this product...I chill my tap water first, then fill my bottle. Stays cold for ages - is long gone before the advertised 12 hours. Am very pleased with my purchase.I only buy SHO bottles now after trying others over the years. For durability (other brands will dent easily when dropped), being leak proof, keeping fluids cool and looking great- you can’t beat a SHO bottle.My 14 year old daughter loves this bottle with the green leaves on the white background. The donation to planting a tree upon purchase only solidified our love of this bottle.I purchased the 260ml white Sho bottle to keep 250ml of milk in to take to work for a protein shake at lunch time.I've been using it for a couple of days now, it hasn't leaked, keeps the milk fresh and cold for hours (today I prepared it at 6am and am now just drinking it at 13:00, so that's 7 hours!)The bottle itself feels like it's good quality, it's got a sort of rough texture on the outside which took some getting used to, but now I quite like it (presumably it helps you grip it) and it is pretty easy to clean. It does say you shouldn't put it in the dishwasher, so I just give mine a rinse with soap and warm water.It fits nicely into a lunch bag, but is quite capable of keeping your drink cold with just it's vacuum insulation.Would definitely recommend and may buy another for convenience sake.
