Ace

We really like our Zulu water cups. The bottom removes for easy filling from the fridge door dispensers and also for a good, thorough cleaning. Carrying them is easy. Just slip the built-in lid loop over a finger and we're good to go. The rubber bands break, but that's more of a convenience, and doesn't make the cup unusable. It's a great sturdy cup that lasts and looks quite nice.

LOVE this water bottle. No straw, easy sip spout (soft silicone but firm) like a water kiss on your lips ;) super easy to clean, leak proof locking lid with a push button opening. Keeps water cold all day. I bought three more for gifts. I also like the removable bottom for cleaning & filling with ice. Well made and sleek looking. Highly recommended, great price.

Edit 2023-06-05 I *have* to comment on the insulating capabilities of this bottle (and raise my 4-star rating to 5-stars). I usually don't use ice because I'm not a big ice person. But yesterday was 90°F and very humid. We were outdoors setting up for, and attending, a grad party. So I filled the bottle with as much ice as I could fit & then topped off with tap water. It's around 22-23 hours later AND THERE'S STILL ICE in my bottle. I've refilled the water at least 5 times since the original ice fill. This bottle is crazy good at keeping ice going. I kept running out of water to drink because the ice was just not melting. Also everyone who saw me add ice was fascinated that the bottom unscrewed for ice filling and cleaning. They all said that was an awesome feature, and several wanted to know where I got the bottle. Original review: I am what I call a "unconscious drinker" meaning I habitually grab for whatever drink is on my desk whenever I switch doing something. If I just wrote some code, and hit run, absentmindedly grab a bottle and drink. Fire off and email? Yep a drink without thinking about it. This wouldn't be a problem except those drinks tended to be bottles of soft drinks. One day I received a plastic 750ml bottle from work that I loved. It was the perfect size for me, and fit under the water filter at work. Most importantly it didn't have a straw or tiny sports bottle pull up spout. The opening was a flip-top with a wide spout that I could get a good chug from. I went from drinking soda all day to crushing my water intake each day. But plastic doesn't last long. Especially when dropped a few too many times on the pavement. So I searched for another 750ml bottle I could love, and found this Zulu bottle. Overall I am happy with it, but there are some trade offs over my beloved company-branded-free-swag-bottle. Pros: 750ml is a happy place for me on volume. Keeps me from having to refill as often, but isn't so big that it's heavy to carry around. The uniform diameter fits in my vehicle's cupholder (old bottle did not). The push button flip top has a soft silicone spout the I can get good gulps of water. The outer coating is slightly textured making it a bit easier to hold while drinking. It keeps my water frosty cold until I have to refill. The stainless steel interior means no worry about plastic leeching stuff into my water. Trade-offs (Not Cons, just things different from my trusty old bottle) Since I drink absentmindedly I often pick up the bottle to find it's empty. I got used to seeing the level in my clear plastic bottle. This meant it was easier to monitor consumed amounts and refill needed at a glance. This bottle cannot be see through so I often find it empty at inopportune times. The height is too tall for the filtered water dispenser at work. Wouldn't be an issue except I'm 6'3" and I have to stoop over & hold the bottle to fill it instead of just sitting it on the shelf and holding the button. Very minor, and only affects me. Cons: I loved the concept of the removable bottom for cleaning or adding larger ice chunks. It makes rinsing out the inside a breeze. But the cap's thread is plastic and the bottle's thread is steel. This makes cross threading fairly easy. And the o-ring seal is small. So I had issues with a leak for a while until I removed, and replaced, the bottom cap. I can see the possibility of overtightening the cap as well which would deform it, and could cause a leak. The flip-top's button is very small in height. This makes it hard to activate if you don't grip just right. For those of us with bigger hands that's a problem. Also the flip top is a hard plastic. This will eventually get broken I'm sure. I'm sure this is to keep production costs down over having milled/cast metal tops (or it could be a planned obsolescence thing who knows). Hopefully replacement caps are available down the line. Overall the cons aren't nearly enough for me to shy away from highly recommending the bottle.

I seem to be obsessed with finding the perfect, insulated water bottle and I think I may have found the closest to perfect I think I'm gonna get. What really sets the Zulu bottle aside is it has a unique second opening from the bottom making cleaning absurdly simple, especially compared to some of the big ones with small openings at the top where it's damn near impossible to reach the bottom while trying to thoroughly clean. This feature alone made me want to order one. But that's not all, as the infomercials would say. The lid is equally cool in that not only will it close and open easily, you can actually lock the lid so it either stays closed or open. Trust me, if you've ever transported a water bottle that "accidentally" opened in a backpack or some other place and drenched all kinds of things, you will immediately appreciate the innovation going on here with something so simple as a lid-lock. So far it's kept my ice intact after at least 5 hours - which is a far cry from keeping it icy for 24, but in my experience, I have yet to actually find a double-walled bottle actually keep ice for more than maybe 15 hours tops, no matter how much you paid for it. They may exist, but so far I have yet to see one. On top of it all, it looks good, too. Love mine.

This bottle gets a 10 out of 10 Stars! When I got into my car this afternoon the outside of the water bottle was very warm. When I opened it up and took a sip, my drink was still cold and had ice in it! There's a feature that lets you lock your drink and even if you drop it it still won't spill which is fabulous! The bottom piece screws off therefore allowing you to fill it up easily with ice and water. I like being able to flip the top off with one hand especially when I don't have two hands to dedicate to the action. I put these in the dishwasher, when it specifically says not to (shhhhhhh) but nothing has chipped off the exterior, ever. I have owned a few of these bottles. The only reason I get new ones is because I lose them LOL. I use them everyday. You get a lot of good value for your money with this water bottle. I have small hands therefore I like the size of the 24 oz bottle. They come in lots of cute colors. The design is perfect for me.

When it comes to portable hydration, nothing beats the Zulu Ace 24oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle. Those in search of a convenient and eco-friendly way to stay hydrated will appreciate this water bottle's seamless integration of these three features. The primary remarkable feature of this water bottle is its vacuum-insulated, stainless-steel build. Whether I'm drinking a cold one on a hot summer day or a hot one on a chilly winter night, it never fails to maintain the ideal temperature. The insulation is so good that my beverages have stayed at the perfect temperature for hours, which is unusual for water bottles. The Zulu Ace is distinguished from its competitors by its innovative chug spout design. It's a nice and easy method to drink, and I can take small sips without worrying about spilling. Because of the added protection provided by the leak-proof locking cap, this water bottle is great for use in every setting, from the great outdoors to the gym to everyday life. I've been able to tote it around without worrying about spillage, and every time I use it, I'm blown away by the results. The base's ability to be removed for cleaning makes it a clever design choice. It's simple to disassemble and wash completely, so it will smell fresh and clean after each use. This attention to cleanliness and ease of use is much appreciated, as it helps make drinking a pleasurable and stress-free experience. The Zulu Ace water bottle's reusability is an ideal fit for those who value sustainability in a world where disposable plastic is a major problem. It makes me happy to know that my choice of water bottle is having a beneficial effect on the planet. This water bottle is the ideal size, being both portable and large enough to keep you well-hydrated all day long. It holds 24 ounces. Its stylish, contemporary appearance is a welcome addition to my regular life. The Zulu Ace also shines when it comes to longevity. The stainless steel body is tough and durable, so it can take the knocks and jostles that come with traveling. To my relief, it survived being dropped several times without suffering any dents or other visible damage. This review is about the Zulu Ace 24oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle, which has quickly become my preferred means of transporting liquids. Among other reusable water bottles, it stands out due to its vacuum insulation, leak-proof design, and eco-friendliness. This water bottle has never let me down, whether I've been using it at the gym, on a hike, or just going about my day. It's a step up in living standards, not just a water bottle. I'm confident in giving it a perfect score of five stars.

This water bottle is saving our family from a Water Bottle world war. Note: I never write reviews. My husband and daughter are so picky about their water bottles -my husband HATES our 40oz Tumblers so much he wants to host a TedTalk about all the reasons he hates them so much y'all - and my daughter is a teenager and full on wants her bottle to be as cute as it is functional (don't we all?) This is an honest review, I paid full price for it each time, I've now purchased 3 of them (one for each member of my family), and no one asked me to review it. It is THE water bottle we all agree on in my family. PROS: •Bottle feels great in your hand; made of a non slippery material and doesn't give you carpel tunnel when you hold it •the bottom twists off so you can clean it and get all the sludge out!!! (this alone makes it a winner) •The top has a lock so it doesn't leak. Like at all. (our 40 oz tumblers leak like crazy and drives my husband nuts •It's DISHWASHER SAFE ... I mean....need I say more? Put the bottle on the bottom rack and the lid on the top rack of your dishwasher. •It's a sleek good looking bottle, and colors are cute (remember, I have a teenager) •The lid is a heavy duty but pliable material that we really like •No straw to have to clean, replace or get moldy! •Keeps your drinks ice cold for a long time •Isn't so heavy when it's full that you can't lift it •fits in all car cupholders (and it fits in our boat cup holders) •slimmer profile, not taking up so much space on a small desk at work •It travels well, and fits in backpack side pockets •#1 favorite thing...you can fill the bottle UPSIDE DOWN! Lock the lid, and unscrew the bottom instead of the top when you fill it with ice and water (the bottom is wide mouth) CONS: •It doesn't come in as many cute colors as the 40oz cups (please make more colors) (I told you I have a teenager) I've had mine for about 6 months and I'm in love with it. I travel all over with it. If you get a Zulu, you can probably declutter your water bottle cabinet, and just keep this one.

This water bottle is incredible! It has everything I need - a big capacity, keeps drinks cold, easy to clean, durable, and won’t leak. I recently got a kidney transplant, and my doctors want me to drink a ton of water. The good news is I take a lot of medicine, which makes my mouth super dry. I’m also very immunocompromised because of my anti-rejection meds, so I can’t be around too many germs. I need a water bottle that can hold a decent amount of water, keep it cold for a while, be easy to clean, and not leak. I thought I found that with Zulu. I’m not sure if it was just my bottle that had an issue, but when I fill the water bottle (after making sure the bottom is screwed on tight), it works great for a while, but then it starts leaking from the bottom seam. I have two other Zulu Ace bottles (teal and black). I got them last summer at Target, and those two are fantastic! They don’t leak, drinks stay cold for a really long time, and if I lock the lid, I can keep it with me in bed. If you clean it PROPERLY (unscrew the top and bottom, take out the rubber pieces), it doesn’t generally smell. The water bottle looks good and is the same color as the one in the picture. Considering that it leaks (which might just be mine), I probably wouldn’t pay $17 for it again when I can get one at a store and have it right away. It’s durable, I’ve dropped all 3 on the floor a few times and they haven’t dented so far. They don’t fit in the back cup holder of a Hyundai Tucson, but they do fit in the front. They’re lightweight and can fit in an average-sized purse. Note: I put purple Gatorade Zero powder in my water, so that’s why it’s purple.
