Great deal for a stainless H2O bottle..though the caveat with this particular bottle is the design of the cap when opened for use...it's darn difficult with the top lid open and keeps on hitting your nose while drinking.

Woo woo!

How did woot know I like to drink water?!?! Now, all they need to do is put up a silver current gen. ipod nano! Thanks Woot ;-)

I have a couple of these, and love em. The only time they've leaked is when I've put soft drinks in them, which the mfg specifically says not to do. The seal isn't strong enough to handle the added pressure from the carbonation.

As someone else said, the newer ones with Threadless designs have a better lid. The opening on the new ones is round, like a fat straw, whereas the old ones have a wide opening with a small lip.

If you're planning to freeze it solid, don't. Water expands when it freezes, and you'll probably end up damaging the bottle (especially if you leave the lid on). If you just want to keep it colder, I'd invest in some of those water bottle ice trays.

Quoth the manufacturer: "18/8 stainless steel, BPA-free, no liner."

These are my favorite aluminum bottles. It is great for a workout because is easy to open and close with one hand. I guess I have a small nose because I never hit my nose as I drink... but I can see that it gets very close. I bought 2 since I already have two. Now we have one for each of us. Unfortunately we only have 3 different designs so I'll have to mark one of them to keep it straight whos is whos.
One complaint I've had is that little tiny soft white plastic piece can come lose. If you lose it, you won't know until you spill the contents of your bottle because it is no longer water tight. Wonder if there is a place to order replacements of those. The first one I bought at Target didn't have one and I thought the bottle was defective. When I took it back, the guy explained it to me.

Thermos Roho 24-Ounce Hydration Bottle 2-Pack has completely shipped via FEDEX SMART POST. All tracking has already been emailed out. You can also find your tracking number by following this link and use your ORDER NUMBER as the reference number.

FEDEX TRACKING

I got an email on Friday the 27th saying my order had shipped. Fedex still does not recognize the tracking number provided, or the order number as you mention. I would have thought they'd have it. perhaps the long weekend? I'll check back in a couple of days.

thanks.

Got my two pack today and one of the caps is freaking broken. Won't close at all. The other one looks okay, but it sucks to get a broken one right out of the box. Can anyone give me a few pointers on how I should proceed from here? Is there a number I can call or am I just screwed?

Has anyone (other than the posted above) received this yet? I live in Austin and am still being quoted for another couple of days.

Then email, I shall.

the tracking said it was to be delivered today, as of an hour ago, it said "out for delivery."

now it says it was delivered before 9am. and by USPS.

nope. never arrived. it's possible that the post office is holding it for me, but they didn't leave a pink pick-up tag like they always do...

i don't know who's to blame, really... but i'm not exactly happy about seeing someone claim a package was delivered that was never delivered.

I had this happen with an USPS shipment this week, it arrived the next day.

For this woot I received 2 dented bottles so will have to wait for replacement.

I thought it would be insulated, I should have read the description for carefully.

if anyone cares, the package did come today. and the bottles all appear to be just fine.

Just opened my box of bottles... I've already saved about 3 plastic bottles today,(man i really have to go!) I hope someone invents that million dollar idea soon...

Bed Twetter!

I'm the customer. I should not have to call anyone. Telling your customer to handle it themselves is not customer service.

I did call FedEx and they say "sorry, we delivered it to the post office."

I sent a message to your support email and they said I should call the post office.

Again, customer service is not telling your customer to handle it themselves.

I purchased a set of 2 bottles on May 27, shipped out on May 29th and it is no where to be found. This is my first Woot purchase (and last) and it leaves me a bad taste in the mouth.

I received mine on Monday.

All four bottles seemed to be in good condition. I've broken two already and as previous posters have mentioned these do not work well with carbonated beverages (tried it with kombucha that I was having for lunch).

They are not insulated, but do a decent job of keeping water decently cold out of the water dispenser

I agree. The Woot service rep emailed me and told me to contact my Post Office to find my package.

Why should I have to do their job for them?

I called my credit card and disputed the charge. No more Woot for me.

My 4 bottles are all in good condition. Using one, loving it. 3 will be christmas gifts. haaaa...

had a small dent on one, i'll live with it.

but yea its an ok bottle for storage, I like to keep some water in my room and office and such, just handy water. I'm not sure it would do well on the road, the caps do not lock as said, plus metal marrs faster than plastic. especially painted.

So it does what it does well, its a desk water jug.

The spout doesn't pour very fast though, the hole is too small, all in all for on the road you are way better off the with thermos intak, that is tougher, all plastic, and the cap locks down, and the pour spout is designed better, more flow,and easier to drink from.

I had the same problem mentioned above. It shows as delivered on Friday, but I didn't receive it, nor any usps mail that day. I haven't received it as of yet. Time to email customer service.

This is so frustrating. My order shipped 15 days ago and I still don't have it.

Unfortunately customer service will tell you to call the post office yourself.

Good luck.

Have you received it yet?

Solution: Send me a replacement package or refund my account for the full charge.

Problem: The tracking number 02927009713097971436 states a delivery on June 3, 2011 but I never got the package. I followed up with FedEx and USPS, they both claim that there is nothing they could do on their end. I tried contacting Woot but I received no feedback. This is my second order from Woot, I did not wish for it to turn into a problem. But I did not get my order, I paid for it and nobody is taking responsibility.

A Woot representative that may be reading the comments, please help resolve this issue before 6/20/2011. After that date I will be forced to file a charge back with my credit card.

Sincerely,
Aram

PS. Edited message in hopes of resolving the problem.

Hi agingdragqueen,

Thank you for getting back to me. I checked my email and I still could not find anything, if it did go into the spam folder (I most likely cleared it). Please if you can re-send the message.

Aram

these bottles rule. best part, in my opinion, is the fact there is nothing to unscrew while I'm driving. Just pop the button and I can swig they also aren't so bulky they won't fit in conventional cup holders. love them.

love them! I have dropped them repeatedly and they haven't even dented!

FY: I love these! The big-mouth design is big enough for ice to go in and the drinking cap gives me water at an excellent pace -- not to overwhelming and not too slowly.

After using for couple of weeks...every day...Love these bottles. I threw the small white cap and water was leaking...so had to dive into trash can to get the cap back. Weird design.

Took them on a weeklong roadtrip from california to canada. worked great! love it!

I pop mine into the top rack of the dishwasher. Work just fine!

Unless Thermos is named after a person, say such as Dan Thermos, than it is not an eponymous acronym and for that matter it is not an acronym, it is a name that is feigning an acronym. However, I do like your point that others will probably be puzzled by the name "Thermos".

I've stayed hydrated since the day I got them!
