YETIRambler 36 oz Bottle, Vacuum Insulated, Leakproof, Stainless Steel with Chug Cap

As someone who take my daily water intake seriously, who never leaves the house with my bottle of water, (keeps it at the bedside as well) and who cares about using items that help the planet by being sustainable, this Yeti makes me HAPPY! The build is fabulous! Very hearty! I have had several brands over the last 10yrs working in the medical field and this one is the best. You really do sometimes just get what you pay for. Some things are overhyped, Yeti is not. The bottle can hang and handle some abuse. I chose the 36oz so it doesn’t fit in the car cup holder, but not to worry, Yeti don’t leak so if it rolls around on the seat, I ain’t panicking like I did with my previous brands. Carry in your backpack, no problem. Dropped it accidentally the other day, tiny scuff in the cap, not a dent, ding or scratch on the bottle. Keeps water nice and cold, just how I like it. I fill the bottle about 2/3 and add ice and the bottle is still cold 4-6hr later when I refill it. I like this size as it is not too heavy, but I drink 3-4 a day and know I got my daily water allowance in. Definitely would purchase again. Yeti is always coming out with new colors to tempt me. ☺️ if you are considering getting the $20 bottle that probably works, but probably also leaks, and will ding the first time you drop it, just consider upgrading. At least if you are a serious water drinker. Or occasionally abuse your stuff. I wish I had made the switch sooner. I do also have the straw top. That one can leak on occasion if you aren’t careful, but if you prefer a straw over a chug top still a nice option. I like that you have color options with that one instead of just black.

Typical Yeti.Well made. Doesn’t leak. Robust. Keeps things cold (all I tried). Expensive.

Ice stays cold all day. Great size. Love the color. Very durable.

Great bottle! I used it on two 100 plus degree days for a lacrosse tournament. I still had ice in it when I got home that evening. Definitely insulated to keep liquids cold! Love it! Did not leak and I love the lid with a handle to carry and opening to drink out of. Little big and heavy to carry around all day but it works great! Worth the price.

Didn't bother with pictures, because we all know what it looks like (looks just like the product picture looks like on the listing) with that out of the way, Let's review.I haven't had many insulated cups, thermos, or what the kids are calling them nowadays... Rambler or tumblers. Whatever its called, I like it. I have been using Styrofoam cups for coffee and my cold drinks for years and years now, but recently Smart &Final and other stores have stopped selling them, and their pretty expensive online to buy. I had to find a replacement. So I searched google for "Best insulated cups" and came up with a number of names in the game, and for my needs (mostly cold) one name kept coming up... "Yeti"I needed something more permanent to replace my 32oz Styrofoam cups, and with a name in mind now, I began watching product reviews on youtube on the yeti (and other) brands and found the 36oz offering would better fit my needs. I ordered what I wanted on amazon, accidently ordered 2. Tried to cancel, and although it was still 3 days before it was delivered (black color was out of stock) Amazon wouldn't let me cancel, So bit of an inconvenience for me, having to go thru a return process, but it is what it is. I did eventually get my Yeti.Here are my pros and cons after about 2 weeks of use. *Note* I only use it for cold drinks, I got something else for my hot drinks, So this will only ever be used for cold drinks, particularly soft drinks.Pro:Its easy to use (as it should, its a cup with a lid duh) the size I purchased is right for me, It keeps cold. I put ice near the top when I wake up, and Its still about half full of ice after 24hrs. doesn't leak. The 'Chug cap" is great, you get a nice, decent amount every time you take a drink. and one nice extra kudos for me is, Because of the great 'leak retention' It keeps my soft drinks carbonated longer. I'll wake up the next day to fill it up for the day, and whatever was in the cup for the previous day (if any) still taste nearly as fresh as it was when I first poured it the day before... Huge plus for me.as for the cons, There isn't much to write about, but a few things that I can point out.ConsThe chug cap is great, but as other reviewed have stated, It IS a bit difficult to remove (ease of opening) Now, Its not that big of a deal for me, Since the difficulty of removing it, is also probably the reason why it is so leak proof, and for me, that's more important. Just thought it was worth noting for older users or people with limited strength. *Note* It is easier to remove a tight chug cap, If you remove the lid handle first, to get a better grip on the chug cap. Its not scratch resistant, I haven't scratched the sides or anything yet, nor do I care If I do. Its a cup, not a car. but I have noticed the bottom of the cup getting a little 'wear' on the bottom of it, from sitting on hard surfaces. again, not a big deal to me, just pointing it out. A few people have pointed out how heavy it is, or switching to the 'magdock' lid instead. for me personally, I was going to buy the 'magdock' lid, but the handle lid has grown on me I must say, and while this cup is pretty heavy, the handle lid design helps me get past the weight issue. though you may not like the weight and may want to opt for a smaller size cup, If you're using it to take on runs or something.For me, there isn't much more I can say about it. It does what it was meant to do... Keeps drinks cold, doesn't leak, Keeps my soft drinks carbonated longer. Ice even after 24hrs.I would recommend.

Great Product as expected by Yeti. This was my first. Easy to drink from, love the "chug" vs the stupid straws. Stays cold with ice for about 10hrs.

I'm a big fan of the wide mouth top to be able to easily add ice. I also like their spout for drinking out of. High flow. Handle is sturdy and ice lasts all day, easily. Really like the color as well.
