Ello Syndicate 20oz Reusable Glass Water Bottle with One-Touch Leak Proof Flip Lid and Protective Non-Slip Silicone Sleeve and Carry Loop for Coffee, Tea and Water, BPA-free Dishwasher Safe

Excellent Glass Water Bottle
Great water bottle. Nice balance of weight, durability, and style. Glass is thick enough to avoid damage, but not extremely heavy. Silicon wrap also helps avoid damage. The locking lid also works well. All parts easy to clean (we wash by hand – but I’d *guess* the dishwasher is fine). My wife dislikes stainless bottles due to the taste, and is very happy with this bottle. After 2 months of workday use, she still comments how much she likes them (we ordered 2).Cons – probably doesn’t insulate as well as a stainless bottle (will get condensation ‘sweat’), and the mouth is narrower than many alternatives (harder to add ice). Neither matters to us – but potentially a downside for others. Cleaning between the wrap pattern can be annoying, if you want to truly get all fingerprints, etc.

Fantastic glass bottle at a great price! Pick up two!
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!

This is a great glass bottle
I use this daily to help keep up my water drinking at work. So far I’ve loved it. This was definitely worth it. Haven’t had any major issues so far and hope to not have any issues with this bottle. I love that it’s glass and not plastic. Wash regularly to prevent from smelling around the top area.

Perfect glass drinking bottle
I love this drinking bottle design. The push button spill proof top opens to the glass that you drink from, not plastic. Genius design !!! The carry strap is a bonus!

Es perfecta! Hace una gran diferencia tomar el agua en botella de vidrio. Es muy elegante, no se derrama y tiene seguro para que no se abra por accidente. También me encantó que es más angosta que la mayoría de las botellas por lo que cabe fácilmente en todos lados. Es un super plus que se pueda meter al lavavajillas ya que siempre es complicado lavar las botellas por dentro. Pedí el color gris porque está más barata, sin embargo estoy feliz el color es muy lindo. Mucho mejor de lo que se ve en la foto.

If you want a glass water bottle this the best one, period. Well protected with a silicone sleeve, only the silicone seal on the top is in contact with the glass rim, making a water-tight seal. The wide mouth lets you easily add ice cubes and wash with a bottle brush. Button on the side to release lid, with a lock, so that it doesn’t accidentally flip open. Makes a funny little “pop” every time you open it because of the seal. Can be used with one hand and also has a heavy duty silicone strap making it easy to carry on a walk or hike.

Fantastic product. I’ve got a few of these for office, home, etc.Dishwasher safe. And much better than using a plastic bottle
