CONTIGO Autoseal - Review 2023

Overview

With a capacity of 24 ounces, the CONTIGO Autoseal Chill is an ideal daily water bottle. It keeps you hydrated throughout the day, whether you are at the gym, office, or outdoors.

This water bottle is designed with CONTIGO’s impressive vacuum insulation technology, Thermalock. With this technology, your drinks can stay cold for as long as 28 hours.

What that means is that if you fill it up with water and ice cubes (wide mouth for the cubes) and put the lid on, the contents will remain very chilled if you open it up again at the same time tomorrow.

Another significant feature of this water bottle is Autoseal. This technology makes a 100% spill-proof drinking experience possible. It comes with a push-button, which you need to push every time you sip. When you release this push-button, the lid closes automatically.

The push-button also helps maintain the chilly temperature while making it possible to pour cold water into a glass like a spout.

For on-the-go performance, the CONTIGO Autoseal Chill comes with a carrying handle. You can carry it everywhere or even pack it in your bag.

The sleek profile of this water bottle is suitable for any style. The minimalist yet functional design is pretty classy.

Features

The CONTIGO Autoseal Chill comes with Thermalock technology. This vacuum insulation technology claims to keep your drinks cold for up to 28 hours. Though we never measured 28 hours, it impresses us every time we’re out in the sun, maintaining the ice cubes throughout an entire day and, in some instances into the next morning.

As its name implies, this water bottle has its Autoseal design on the lid. This feature lets you seal the lid in between sips, providing a spill-proof drinking experience. You only need to push the Autoseal button when drinking. Then, releasing the button after each sip seals the lid automatically.

Only a push of the Autoseal button is necessary to sip from this water bottle. One-handed operation is possible with its easy-to-use design.

The CONTIGO Autoseal Chill’s mouthpiece has an integrated protective cover that keeps out dirt. When you are done drinking, you only need to flip down the cover to protect the spout.

Furthermore, this water bottle’s lid comes in one full piece. There are no loose or tiny parts, so it is quite easy to disassemble and clean. This lid can go safely on the top rack of any dishwasher.

The main body, however, requires delicate handling. It cannot go into the dishwasher, so you need to wash it thoroughly by hand.

For quick, on-the-go performance, the CONTIGO Autoseal Chill’s lid has an integrated carrying handle. This handle allows you to bring your water bottle and stay hydrated wherever you go.

This water bottle is made of durable stainless steel. No harmful chemicals like BPA were also used in the manufacturing process, so it is at par with most drinkware today.

In terms of appearance, this water bottle has a sleek yet stylish profile. It can store up to 720 mL of beverage, which is about enough to keep you refreshed on a regular day.

One of the Best for Cold Drinks

Impressively, the CONTIGO Autoseal Chill can keep drinks cold for up to 28 hours. Ideally, it is best used for water. You can stay hydrated all the time, no matter where you are. If you have a packed day at the gym or outdoors, you can have a refreshing, ice-cold drink using this water bottle.

The wide mouth makes it great for filling up with ice cubes too. It’s also nice when drinking as there’s space for even larger noses in the opening.

In terms of insulation, this water bottle fares slightly better than the best-selling Hydro Flask 24 oz. Standard Mouth. The latter can keep cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours at best. However, of course, it is a huge plus that Hydro Flask’s double-wall vacuum insulation technology works for both hot and cold drinks.

This water bottle’s Autoseal technology is also commendable. With this technology, it is 100% leak proof. Whenever you need to drink, you only need to push the Autoseal button. Releasing the easy-to-use push-button seals the lid automatically once you are done drinking, efficiently preventing spills.

With its reliable leakproof performance, the CONTIGO Autoseal Chill can go in any bag or pocket. You won’t have to worry about the content spilling over your belongings.

Since this water bottle has an ergonomic design, you can operate the Autoseal function with one hand. The lid also comes with a carrying handle, so you can bring it everywhere. With this handle, there are fewer chances of dropping your water bottle accidentally, too.

We also like that this water bottle has a protective cover for the mouthpiece. It gives you the confidence of drinking safely, no matter where you have been. And while the steel bottle itself can go in the dishwasher, the mouthpiece cannot.

Only a Few Drawbacks

The CONTIGO Autoseal Chill may not be the right water bottle for you if you don’t like hand-washing your drinkware. Only the lid is dishwasher safe and not the body.

Few water bottles can happily survive a session in the dishwasher though–the Yeti Rambler being one of them.

Of course, if it’s only water in the bottle, washing won’t be as often. With coffee, especially, it’s quite nice to be able to toss the lid in the dishwasher.

But if you use this water bottle frequently with infused drinks, it’ll require more frequent cleaning. The wide mouth makes it easier to wash though.

Today, this water bottle is one of the best-selling drinkware that offers reliable insulation technology and value for money. It is ideal for everyday use, whether you are heading to work or hitting the gym.

Thanks to the CONTIGO Autoseal Chill’s dependable vacuum insulation technology, you can stay hydrated and refreshed wherever you go. It can keep drinks cold for up to 28 hours, which is pretty impressive.

Furthermore, the promise of a leak proof drinking experience with no condensation is appealing. A single push and release of a button allow you to drink easily and close the lid in between sips, respectively.

With the handle on the lid, this water bottle can be your go-to water bottle for daily use. If you only need one for cold drinks, it is definitely one of the best choices for you.
