It came out of the dishwasher with lots of dirty spots still on it, particularly around the spout and underneath the lid. These spots were also hard to clean when handwashing, and we'd wager they would often be missed. Unlike other plastic bottles, we love that this one is dishwasher-safe. No more fiddling around with long brushes or sponges—just toss the parts in, close the door, and let the machine do the work. We also like that there's a lid for the straw, which sets Pogo's bottle apart from others on our list. Although this bottle wasn't the most durable one we tested, we still find it stylish and easy to drink from, with a truly impressive capacity. The smaller sizes fit in most cupholders, whether you're sipping in the car or on an exercise bike. But like Owala's FreeSip, SimpleModern's water bottle is meant for cold drinks only. For hot drinks, try investing in a high-quality insulated tumbler.

The exterior is powder-coated to keep it from slipping and to help reduce condensation. You will have to hand wash it, but it comes with a lifetime warranty, so you know it’s built to last. We've also noticed that cleaning the straw is easy, as it detaches from the lid to allow for a thorough scrubbing. Our verdict: It's a well designed leakproof bottle available in a variety of fun colourful designs. Water bottles with straws are made with various materials, including plastic, glass, and stainless steel. If you're looking for the most lightweight option, you may want to choose a BPA-free plastic water bottle, like Contigo's Ashland 2.0 Leak-Proof Water Bottle. Stainless steel options (like Owala's FreeSip Water Bottle) have better insulation and can keep your favorite drinks hot or cold for hours. For an environmentally-friendly bottle that doesn't hold onto smells or tastes, try glass—we recommend BLUEGO's 64oz Glass Water Bottle. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ All of the stainless steel water bottles with straws on our list are insulated in some way. But Owala's viral FreeSip is our favorite because it keeps our water cold for longer—and has a range of innovative features that set it apart. Finding a glass water bottle with a straw can be difficult, but we think we've found the ideal solution in this option from BLUEGO. The wide mouth is large enough for adding your favorite ice, fruit, or other flavorings. We also love that it has a silicone sleeve to protect it from impact, so you can toss it in a bag or your passenger seat without a second thought. Dishwasher: we smeared the inside, bottle caps and drinking spouts with greasy Vaseline and then washed each bottle in a dishwasher on its hottest setting. After washing we shone a UV torch on each bottle and examined them for any uncleaned spots (Vaseline glows under UV light).

We also like that the triple-layered insulation keeps beverages hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 24. Leakproof and shatterproof, it's sturdy enough to withstand constant use. And the carrying handle on the straw lid is a nice, convenient touch. Otherwise though, this bottle is quite easy to clean and came out almost spotless when we cleaned it in a dishwasher and washed it by hand in a sink. Our verdict: Although children will love the design, we found a number of issues with this Nuby water bottle during testing.Still, we appreciate the bottle's modern design, which comes in a few stylish, muted colors. It offers two middle-of-the-road sizes, 20 and 32 ounces—enough to keep you hydrated all day long. Just note that it's hand wash only and can't go in the dishwasher.
