Ello Syndicate 20oz Glass Water Bottle with Flip Lid and Sleeve, Tech Blue

I've been wanting one of these bottles for years, after first seeing their kind at a health food store to the tune of $30+. And as much as I favored glass over plastic, I waited. And I guess I sort of forgot, too. Looks like there are a lot of options out there in a much more affordable range! So, I looked at a bunch, played with them, and ended up picking the Ello Syndicate, for a number of reasons, though there are some things I wish they had/or didn't. Here are my thoughts: Glass! - Pure taste/ No residual smells: I love the glass bottle idea so much. It really does keep the taste so much more pure, and the odor from drinking non-water drinks is not a constant residue like it was in my reusable plastic bottles. Lids! - Flip-top lid: You can use this one-handed. The lid pushes up and away from the bottle opening and you can drink without it hitting you in the face, or losing the cap. Fantastic! - No Spills: I use my bottles on the go and at home. We have large dogs - and a blind dog - so we occasionally have spills. Also, we live in the country with horses and we get bugs like flies in the summer. Even if it's just one that gets inside, it's the one that goes in fresh-made iced coffee!! Silicone Sleeve! - Grippy Protection: This sleeve works great. It makes it easy to hold the bottle and it provides decent protection from bumps and jostles of everyday use. You - or your toddler - drop this on the tile and it may still break. It's GLASS. Even plastic, the glassy type, could still shatter if dropped wrong on tile. Dishwasher Safe! - Easy to clean: So many travel mugs aren't DW safe. Especially coffee tumblers or insulated containers. They can be great but if it's a pain to wash em... or if someone who isn't paying attention tosses them in the DW and breaks em... well, that stinks. This is easy to wash. Just remove the lid, open the lid so the soap can get all inside it (including that spot some people are getting black mold) and pop it all in the top rack. - Tip #1: With many items that the DW doesn't thoroughly dry like cups, tupperware or anything with crevices or things that catch water like lips or indents - Dry this on a dish rack and let it dry all the way before sealing it back up again. This also should help prevent mold growth. - Tip #2: Get a couple for each person using the bottles. You can then easily rotate each day for cleaning and drying out. Great price! - Affordable: Compared to the $30+ a pop when I first saw these bottles years ago, this is a nice price, and you can probably afford to get a couple (which helps keep them clean as per above). The MSRP seems to be $14.99. I got my first two at a Target and liked them so well I grabbed a couple online here at Amazon. One was on sale, the other was MSRP. I am still very pleased with the product and the price. Replacement lids! - Economical and Environmental: Don't toss (or recycle) the whole thing if the lid breaks. Grab a new topper! Ello Syndicate Glass Water Bottle Replacement Lid, Coral . If not available on Amazon (they were before but aren't now) you can likely order from the company directly. Sturdy! - I have dropped mine - on to the carpet but it smacked on it's side on the table, hit the wall and then the carpet - twice now and it was fine. The only thing that occurred was that, one time, the seal popped inside the cap and it leaked a bit. I was drinking a carbonated beverage (Emergen-C and Alka Seltzer for my sinus that were messed up from a recent, nearby fire) and that and the tumble and fall from standing desk height caused the temporary leak. Design changes I would like: Handle: Although the little ribbon handle is sturdy it seems a tiny bit too short (and I have small female hands). I would like it to be long enough to work like a wristlet. It also is fabric, so every time you wash it, it remains wet. You can *mostly* dry it, but you have to put effort into that - squeezing it with a dish towel repeatedly - and it will remain damp for a little while. When I hand rinse between uses of one bottle on the same day this is annoying. I wish it were plastic or silicon or rubber. Anything less porous than a grosgain ribbon. Wishlist: Option for a shorter/fatter bottle with this same lid and silicon sheathing. As mentioned, I use these at home and on the go. On the go this model is perfection - it fits in even my teeny weeny cart cupholders. At home it is more likely to topple due to it's height and tiny footprint. I would LOVE a model this design, this size (maybe bigger honestly though! 32oz!) but stubby so it can't tip over. Bottom line: I love this bottle and the price is right! I highly recommend it and will likely get more in the future - particularly if they make a large stubby model of the Syndicate! ;-)

I absolutely love this water bottle, and it just proved to me how durable it truly is. I was in the woods today and fell down a steep rocky incline. The water bottle and I both rolled down quite tragically, and we are both perfectly intact. The lid didn't even pop off! Some dirt got between the bottle and the sleeve, but the silicon made it easy to wash out. The strap also deserves some recognition. The silicon strap made carrying the water bottle around the woods comfortable; I just slipped the loop around two fingers. The appearance and color match the listing well. I've used it daily for weeks now, and the only issue I've noticed is that the lid lock has no functionality. There's no difference between unlocked and locked. The lid still opens the same way. It doesn't bother me too much because the lid stays shut quite securely, but it's important to note. UPDATE: I have dropped this water bottle 6ft onto solid tile twice and not a single crack or chip. This thing is a tank!

Perfect size to fit in my car. The top flips open with a button press and has a lock to keep from accidentally spilling. It is exactly what I was looking for in a glass bottle - no plastic!

This bottle is sturdy glass with rubber to protect it from breaking. It has the. Perfect features I need to carry for sports. The top clicks open and shut which takes some getting used to but I love it now that I know how to open it fast for a quick sip during exerybreaks. I bought the hot pink one. It washes well in the dishwasher. The size of the bottle is perfect for my small hand.

Love this! Just wish it came in a bigger size. 32oz at least. It makes the water taste way more better than plastic or stainless steel. Doesn't leak, the glass is thick and sturdy, and the sleeve on the bottle is perfect and doesn't slide or move around when I hold it.

Love these water bottles. Glass so it doesn’t affect the taste of the drink but protected enough for someone who drops things occasionally.

Perfect. These hold a good amount of water, fit easily in car cup holders, have a lockable lid, easy to drink from. So good bought the cashmere pink and then the sand. Reliable. You get to drink from glass instead of plastic!, with good sleeve protection. Easy to clean. Simple and great—totally recommend if you are looking for a glass option.

I think this is decent quality for the price. I prefer solid glass options to plastic. The lid closes well overall. I would prefer a bigger size but this works. It's dishwasher safe. It doesn't hold temperature that well. Very good for students or people on the go.

I absolutely love this water bottle! The Ello Syndicate 20oz glass bottle is the perfect combination of style and functionality. The glass keeps my water tasting clean and fresh with no weird aftertaste, which is a huge upgrade from plastic bottles. The one-touch flip lid is super convenient—easy to open with one hand and completely leak-proof, so I can toss it in my bag without worrying about spills. I also really appreciate the protective sleeve, which gives me a better grip and adds a bit of durability without sacrificing the sleek look. It’s the perfect size for everyday use, whether I’m at work, at the gym, or on the go. Easy to clean, durable, and thoughtfully designed—highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and eco-friendly water bottle!

Muy buena compra 100 veces volverá a ser mi compra , para este regreso a clases compré 3 para mis hijos , poco a poco sustituyó el plástico con el vidrio por salud ya que mi familia es de herencia contrae cáncer .

capienza 650, dimensioni ridotte, peso non eccessivo per una bottiglia di vetro, dopo un mese di utilizzo nessun problema, la parte superiore del coperchio si svita quindi la pulizia è facile.. buon prodotto l'hanno preso anche tutti i miei colleghi in ufficio.

Muy seguro con la cubierta, seguro para que no se abra y muy práctica

Mooie en handige fles. Glas is voldoende dik en daardoor ook erg stevig. Goede dop die de fles volledig lekvrij afsluit. Enige minpuntje is het gewicht van de fles. Maar dit kan niet anders met glas. Ik beveel dit item zeker aan!
