We recently made the switch to Owala water bottles and I must say I absolutely love the Owala water bottles! They are BPA free, Dishwasher safe (It says it’s not dishwasher safe but we do it all the time), keeps water cold and I am able to chug water all day like never before! The Owala Free Sip water bottle is our favorite stainless steel water bottle. Based on price, ease of use, design, affordability and coldness, the Owala easily beats out Yeti and Stanley.

Owala Water Bottle Details

• Choose your own adventure with the Free Sip water bottle
  • Hold upright to sip through the built-in straw
  • Tilt back to swig through the wide-mouth opening
• Convenient one-handed operation: Push the button to flip the top open, push back down to lock it shut and keep out germs.
• No worries about spills; the FreeSip is completely leak-proof.

And the absolute best part about the Owala water bottle is the drinkability. I don’t know how they did it, but that built in straw makes water disappear. I have no problem staying hydrated with this water bottle.

Best Water Bottles: Owala vs. Stanley vs. Yeti

These days high-end water bottles are all the rage. Stanley, Yeti and Owala are in high demand and don’t come cheap. In my opinion Owala is the clear winner of the water bottle wars. Things like style and even ease of use tend to be a little objective, but we can measure price and whether or not a water bottle leaks, and this is where Owala clearly beats Stanley and Yeti.

Leak-Proof Assurance Leakage can be a frustrating issue with many water bottles, but Owala has solved this problem with a truly leak-proof design. Owala’s lid and straw assembly have proven to be exceptionally reliable, keeping your bag and belongings safe from unwanted spills. In contrast, my experience with Yeti bottles occasionally resulted in frustrating leaks, making Owala a clear winner in this department.

Affordability What sets Owala apart from the pack is its affordability. Owala bottles deliver premium performance without the premium price tag. When comparing the price of an Owala bottle to a Stanley or Yeti bottle, you’ll quickly realize that you’re getting exceptional value for your money. Owala comes in about half the price of Stanley water bottles. The 24 oz Owala free sip rings in at around $20-$25 depending on design and the 32 oz around $25-30. 

The Owala 24oz & 32oz are our favorite, anything larger gets to be too big for modern convenience in my opinion and is difficult to fit into most cup holders.

And don’t forget the kids! Owala water bottles make kid friendly designs and sizes. And the leak proof assurance and BPA free design make this the best kids water bottle.
