Oceanbottle Reviews

Nice bottle Nice impact on cleaning up our plastic waste but the NFC chip does not work in Canada Probably a feature you could have done without if it can t be supported Or offer that feature in areas where you do have support Sorry but I feel I spent way too much on a water bottle

Pro sWell builtLooks goodGood insulationCon sSize is either too small 500ml or too big 1l somewhere about 600 650 would be niceThe interior straw slips loose sometimes Also there s an NFC chip in the base of the bottle but no idea what it s for doesn t seem to do anything or have any features on the app pointless

I confess I thought it would be bigger and could hold more It would be helpful if the screw top was attached to the lid somehow Less opportunity to get lost It is a clever design with the top part of the bottle unscrewing and acting as a cup But this also limits how much hot beverage is kept in the thermos part of the bottle which is the bottle 2 3rds of the bottle And if I wanted to share this hot beverage with another person it can t be done with only the one cup A good start

I m leaving this review as I m pretty shocked at the very specific claims made by the company and affiliates that this bottle does not sweat cause condensation I love the look of this bottle and the smaller size for my small bag etc However if you add cold or icy water the top plastic sections get wet with condensation which gets all over your bag - even if upright Having experienced this I then looked at both descriptions from the manufacturer and partners Finisterre and I was astounded to see they specifically claim that the bottle does not sweat or leak This is misleading and untrue - the metal section is insulated but the plastic top is not which not only leads to sweat condensation but means it does not retain its internal temperature very long There are better options on the market if you want to add cold or hot water The good things stylish rubber handle is good really nice to drink from and screw cap is handy for adding ice etc

Order OB-58390 still not dispatched despite offering and paying for next day delivery last week Update - excellent bottle for hot drinks but poor dispatch times

I really like this bottle because it is a nice size and easy to clean but one flaw is that it can grow mould One of the reasons I bought the bottle is because it is easy to clean because the top half comes off However there is rubber between the top half and the bottom half and it is growing mould on it even though I clean my bottle after every use I have since checked their advice on cleaning and it says you have to leave it to completely dry between each use to avoid this but I feel like they could have made this clearer when you buy the product It also seems like a big flaw that a bottle that was designed to be easy to clean can grow mould This doesn t happen on other bottles that are made out of metal because they wouldn t have the rubber part I tried to buy just the rubber parts but they don t sell this I emailed them and they were very friendly and offered to send a replacement if the mould doesn t come off after cleaning with baking soda and vinegar but it does seem like a bit of a flaw

Denis was great and very helpful via Ocean Bottle support Unfortunately the processing times 1-3 working days and then the shipping times 1-3 working days made my purchase impossible Luckily Denis explained and refunded me speedily It s partially my fault for not fully understanding the process beforehand but equally in the age of next day delivery via Amazon it s very hard to understand 1-3 working days of processing before the product even ships Customer support is wonderful though

Though the bottle looks and feels decent overall it fails at its primary job of keeping its contents hot for anything more than a couple of hours I support the cause that this bottle represents but the price does not feel justified at all from a buyer s point of view

I love the company ethos and the sustainability factor - I also love the beautiful blue colour that I chose but unfortunately no matter how many times I clean out the bottle and lid it always smells horrible and it puts me off using it It s sat in the cupboard for the past few weeks now which is a shame because it wasn t cheap I bought the large size and I ve bought a different brand Shame

I have both the 500ml and 750ml original bottles Now that I ve started using them for hot drinks I ve noticed that they do not keep hot drinks hot due to the fact that the upper part of the bottle isn t insulated Adding the brew flask lid solves this problem but the brew flask lid isn t available for the larger 750ml original bottle My 750ml bottle is like a hot water bottle in my bag as it gives off heat when it is filled with hot coffee which isn t great when its next to a packed lunch or if you are expecting a hot drink later The response that I received from customer services was the lid is deliberately not insulated to avoid drinks staying too hot for too long
