Top 10 Water Bottles of 2021

With so many options on the market, choosing the perfect water bottle can seem like an overwhelming task, but don’t worry; I am here to help make that decision for you. Several aspects go into a good water bottle: sturdiness, insulation, capacity, etc. The first step is to decide how much you’re willing to spend. Then, you have to decide what you care about the most for your water bottle. Put the two together and make your selection.

  1. S’well Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel

If you are looking for something to keep your drink cold, the S'well Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle is your best bet. While most water bottles keep your drink cold for 12 hours, this one lasts for 24! There are 21 different color options and 3 different sizes so that you can personalize your water bottle to fit you. However, this water bottle is not perfect. After reading through the reviews I have noticed the recurring complaint that these chip and scratch very easily. A few alternatives are the Takeya Vacuum-Insulated Stainless-Steel Water Bottle, footprint bamboo insulated water bottle, or for a much more durable option, the polar bottle.

2. Embrava

If your main criteria in choosing the perfect water bottle is sturdiness, I highly recommend Embrava. This company has made sure that even if you drop this water bottle on the hard ground it won’t crack. Some other bonuses are the measurements written on the side of the bottle so you can track how much water you’ve drunk, and the steel ring around its rim to make the water bottle easier to carry. Only 4% of the reviews are under 3 stars and their complaints were mainly about leakage. If that 4% makes you skeptical, I have a few other options for a durable bottle. Nalgene and iron flask are both well-known and trustworthy companies.

3. Easy Clean

One important factor that is missing from a lot of water bottles is dishwasher-safe technology. Some people don’t mind handwashing, while others really don’t want the hassle. If that’s you, the Easy Clean water bottle is perfect. This water bottle comes apart in two pieces so that it fits perfectly in the dishwasher. Aside from that, it also has a strap so that you can easily attach it to any bag. It is purposefully made small enough to fit in a cup rest and overall is easy to use. Some other dishwasher-safe options are the Iron Flask, the CamelBak, or the pogo.


4. Polar Bottle

My personal favorite is the Polar Bottle because it is an insulated sports bottle, that is dishwasher safe, durable, and keeps any liquid cold. If you can’t decide what is most important for you then the polar bottle is your best bet. It is pricier than some other water bottles but this is because of how versatile it is. The task of finding the best way to stay hydrated may seem daunting, but hopefully, this article will help you to decide what water bottle is best for you.
