How long does the water usually stay cold cuz mine gets warm very quickly and I usually have to put a lot of ice in it for the water to stay cold

If I put ice water in at night before I go to bed at 9 it's still icy when I wake up in the morning.

I usually put two cups of ice in mine and that keeps my drinks cold all day. I found if I used chipped ice it doesn't stay cold as long.

I have purchased two bottles, a larger and a smaller, and found that if I put cold water in (without ice) it will stay cold for probably 8 hours. Even if I leave it in the car on a hot summer day it stays cold. I don't know how quickly yours gets warm, but if it's within 1 -3 hours then my guess is that your triple insulation is broken somewhere.

My water stays cold without ice for many hours; if I add ice there is ice in the bottle the next day. Keeps things nice and cold.

Marissa, sad to say I returned mine. We took 4 different bottles (this one amongst the 4) to disneyworld because I wanted the water to stay icy cold. The 2 thermos funtainers (both for kids but they make thermos adult with straw) and the Eco Vessel insulated stainless steel with straw stayed icy cold in 98 degree weather with ice cubes floating in them at end of day at parks. Sadly, this black one, the water was warm within 4 hours. Couldn't believe it. My main thing is that they have to stay cold. This one did NOT. I know the thermos is dishwasher safe but the Eco you are suppose to wash by hand which kind if stinks. But cold water is my priority. This one sadly did not keep it cold.

The coldness depends on the water temperature. However, even room temperature water works well. The cooling should be immediate.

I only tried warm water (not hot) because it contains plastic parts. for the warm water, I feel 5-6 hours it can keep the temperature. of course it is related to the environment temperature and how warm the water you input also.

No it wont feel warm. It has an automatic thermostat that will only come on as needed to keep the water from freezing. I just replaced the one i bought 8 years ago. I hope this one , which is the same brand, lasts as long

Hot/warm water would be nice, but I think it would take a while to get to the right temperature. You would be blasted with cold water for a while in the beginning anyway. I have gotten use to the cold water only and don't see it as a problem.

My husband fixes it. He puts water into a blender and then adds 1 packet and runs it until all the particles are mixed well. Then, he chills it and we have it at dinner time. He usually fixes it early afternoon so it gets nice and chilled. Then, when we go and drink it, we had 2 or 3 ice cubes to make it good and cold. I hope this helps.

I have not experienced this model in the winter since it was purchased in the warmer months but I imagine with the outer insulation around the tubing it should not freeze up as fast as the previous model I still own. The previous model with the insulation around the tubing would freeze up in the winter months. I kept it in my car at all times as a water source.

For about an hour - the first 20 - 30 mins are very, very cold - which my back likes. I think it was a great buy - I just wish it came with a cover. You need a towel or something from all the water it makes while defrosting. Hope that helps.

I love my Frogg toggs! Rinse in warm water until completely wet, ring lightly. I usual give it a little twirl to activate the chill faster. YES it gets cold fast! And stays cold for hours! I haven't used it longer than three hours. I hope this helps!

Hello...I find that the ice to water ratio dictates how long ice stays in the bottle...more ice...gets you closer to the 24 hour mark. I gotta say, even when the ice is gone, the water is still nice and cold.

Actually a valid question, you will experience a certain amount of warm water when the cold water is turned. But I myself personally have never found it to be a problem. The warm water on the cold side is quickly flushed out and cold water comes in a few seconds. Hope this helps, May God Bless.

I purchased mine a fee months ago. It appears to me it should last longer. It was 6 degrees here last evening and my water wasn't frozen. Would definitely contact the company on that.

At least six hours. I fill mine up about 1/4 put in the freezer when it gets frozen I put cold water over the frozen ice and it will stay cold 8 to 10 hours or longer. I love mine.

I had an old one that I replaced due to getting hot water on cold side that lasted about about 15 seconds -there should only be a few seconds of hot coming out of the cold side so if it take more time there may be something wrong with the unit - mine is fine now. good luck- Steve

The heat doesn't really heat the water but keeps it warm a little longer. We put in 1/2 gallon of really hot water straight from our tap and it lasts about 15-20 min. I doubt you'd notice the heat feature at all with cold water. I think one of the buttons controls the heat but really you'd have to buy one of the really, really expensive models to actually get created heat. We like the rest of it though.

I fill mine completely with ice then add ice cold water from the fridge, when it is kept in an air conditioned setting I have had ice last to the next day. When I add room temp water to the ice I still have ice at the end of the day, but not much.
