The Owala FreeSip Sway water bottle, priced at £28, has received a score of 70% in recent consumer tests. While described as respectable, the bottle did not outperform its competitors.
Testing revealed that the Owala FreeSip Sway's insulation was among the least effective at keeping water cold compared to other insulated bottles. The handle also broke during durability assessments.
Despite these drawbacks, the bottle demonstrated good leakproof qualities, with only a few droplets escaping during vigorous shaking. It was also noted for its ergonomic design and ease of use. Cleaning the bottle was identified as a difficult process due to the need for disassembly and numerous crevices.
For those seeking alternatives, the Chilly's Series 3 Water Bottle scored 87%, the Stanley AeroLight IceFlow Stainless Steel Drink Bottle also scored 87%, and the Sistema Hydrate Multicolour Stainless Steel Bottle achieved 82%.
