Well balanced, comfortable for all day use
I'll get a lot of use out of this "TANYRE 40 oz Water Bottle with Handle White Sixth Generation,Cup Holder Compatible".It's comfortable to carry, well balanced for lifting. For me, at least, the handle is at just the right distance from the cup, and the length is perfect for my hand. The soft top of the straw doesn't have the scratchy mold separation line of cheaper water bottles. I don't really understand the reviews that complain about the folding straw that tucks away. I like being able to protect something that's going to touch my face from germs. Also, I think the ice cube works fine, even with the straw. The big cube floats to the top where there's plenty of space, with the straw positioned off to the side. I find the large cube more convenient than scooping a bunch of small ones from the ice bin.I did find a couple of things I wish worked better. I wish it wasn't so slick. My hands are pretty weak, so I prefer more texture or a rubbery texture on a large water bottle. And while I don't expect it to be lying on its side or hanging upside down full of water often, I did find that mine leaks in a couple of spots, both at the top where they aren't likely to be a frequent problem. One side of the hinge for the straw has a slow drip, and it also leaks from under the lid. I twisted the lid off and back on several times, and couldn't get rid of the leak. With arthritis, I can't screw it on as tight as others might, so I wish it had a better seal. It doesn't leak during normal use, and only drips a bit, but if it ended up lying on its side, which can happen when I toss a bunch of things in my car at once, it could leave a puddle.It fits perfectly in my car's cup holder, and I haven't found that the thinner base causes it to fall over easily on a table. It's heavy enough, especially with water in it, that a little nudge won't knock it over.I consider this to be a good water bottle, and expect to get a lot of use out of it.
