After my earlier post for stainless steel drink bottles I happened to be in Kmart and found a better offer. These are only 250ml smaller but less than a third of the price. Colours are plain stainless steel or navy blue only. Plenty of stock on the shelf in Launceston, Tas.
Note that free delivery in Victoria is only $45 minimum order, $65 in the rest of the country. Unlike other stores, Kmart also has a minimum order value of $20 for Click & Collect.
Have you had the Kmart one or you are just happy with another product that you paid more than double than this on the topic?
Have the Kmart one too. Don’t use it anymore.
Nangs
So true.
I have it and it works great!
Do these metal bottle give water a metallic taste? Also I dislike how they are all made in China brand name or not.
Not if you keep them clean and don’t leave liquid standing in them for too long (I.e. a few days or longer). One of the benefits of stainless steel is it’s not very reactive so it shouldn’t add a taste. As for country of manufacture, I honestly don’t recall seeing any that are made elsewhere. I’d be interested to know if anyone’s found different.
Even the Sistema brand ones were China, I guess metal work is harder to do than plastic.
If you are concerned about how long the drink is kept cold/hot you should consider one that isn't from kmart. We bought a 2 pack of 1.1L i think it was from costco for about $27. Water stays cold the entire day. And then even on that our Contigo flask, I feel, stays colder for even longer! Coffee stays way to hot in it lol.
Or just take note of cold/hot times. We also got bottles with big enough openings for ice for those hot days.
And if you wanted a bigger one kmart also have a 1.5L insulated bottle.
