Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Normally, I'd wait a bit before posting a review on a product. To start, I was not compensated in any way like many other reviewers, although it would be nice to be in their shoes once in a while. We all know whats included, the bottle with attached screw on sealed lid as well as a second with an opening to sip from. The bottle does not fit in the cup holders in my vehicle, but I knew this going in. I did flip it upside down and it held pretty well in the cup holder this way, but I don't see myself doing this often. I received this bottle just about 2 and a half days ago and immediately put it to the test. I haven't even washed it out or actually used it to drink from yet, but it has proven itself in the one test that really mattered, holding its temperature. Time will tell on durability, but initially this 32oz bottle impressed me. After removing the bottle from the plastic and briefly inspecting it for any issues, of which there were none, I filled it to the top with only ice and sealed it shut. Without opening it, I checked it the next morning and it sounded like a solid mass of ice inside. I went to work and returned home that evening to find that only a slight bit of water could be heard inside, with a substantial block of ice remaining with it. Over 24 hours down and I'm happy with that as it is, but of course, I wanted to see how far it would go. I checked the next morning, about 36 hours since sealing it up and much of the ice could still be heard rattling around. After returning home on the second night, there was still ice heard inside. I couldn't resist and decided to open it up to see what was left. A small chunk of ice was there to greet me, 52 hours after going in. Even when this ice melts away, the water inside is still quite cold and would definitely remain this way for a while longer. I plan on doing temperature tests on this, as well as the hot liquid performance soon. I will update the review with any positives or negatives that I find as time goes on. I could have bought 5-6 of these for the price of a single one of my co-workers Yeti's and the performance is probably better with the Simple Modern. Update 1: The melted ice water is still cold after 78 hours. Added a temperature picture. Update 2: Hot liquids hold temperature just as well, although I admit I didn't put coffee in it for days at a time or have a thermometer on hand at work. However, coffee was as hot as it went in at the end of a 12 hour workday. This bottle does its job and does it well. Whether hot or cold, the outside stays comfortable to hold.
