5 Stars Polar insulated water bottles
I have been using these bottles for about a year and they hold up well. They are a great bottle, easy to clean and leaves little to no taste in the liquids. The removable pull up top is a bit stiff but does come out.

2 Stars cold water
Polar water bottle does not keep water cold long enough for me. It doesn’t work as well as an ordinary old thermos.

1 Star Stiff bottle that leaks
I ordered this bottle and it leaked all over the place. I thought it was defective and exchanged it for another one. The new bottle just leaked less. No matter how hard I screwed the top, water would always get out. The sides are also stiff and hard to squeeze and the water does have a bit of a plastic aftertaste. I do not recommend this bottle.

3 Stars water bottle
The Polar Insulated water bottles keeps the water cool through a 2 hr tennis game in medium heat. The design is good for holding but the looks of the container is subpar compared to other brands. The nozzle works well but I’d like to see the size just a little bigger.

2 Stars So-so
These bottles are just ok. I wouldn’t buy them again. Sometimes they leak and if you freeze water in them, they still sweat. They don’t come close to my favorite stainless steel bottles from ‘the flylady’. Those don’t sweat, leak, and are reasonably priced.

Uberstix Starter Set




Future architects, engineers, and even rocket scientists will love using this versatile construction system that utilizes principles of physics and mathematics to build, float, and fly their wildest projects! The highly flexible, yet sturdy links, crossbeams, and connecting panels interlock to form rigid structures that soar. This 450-piece set has plans for a tower, boat, bridge, ray-gun, and UFO. Complete instructions included.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Disapponting
We love Legos and K’nex so we were excited about a new building toy that would work with both. We were so excited about the product, we bought a few sets to build on vacation. After building a couple of things, we were so disapponted with the system we gave it away. Pieces are difficult to put together, break easily and create flimsy final products.

5 Stars Great Toy
This is an awesome toy for kids who like to create. I like it even more than I do Legos and K’nex. It is limitless in its diversability and its ability to use recyled items (popsicle sticks, plastic grocery bags, empty water bottles, and others) make it even better for teaching children to use their imagination. Even my three-year-old is building awesome things.

1 Star Don’t waste your money
I bought this for my K’nex obsessed son because they supposedly work with K’nex. I suppose they do, but they BREAK. In fact they break ALL the time! Evidently it’s something the manufacturer is quite aware of because there’s an illustration in the instruction book about how you can use them in their new forms when they break!

My son decided to stick with his K’nex and I’m out an Uber lot of money.

5 Stars Uber Cool!
My boys have been entranced with this building set (they have the starter and uberpult). They are dedicated legomaniacs, but UberStix have expanded their repertoire considerably. And I love the several pp in the instructions that are dedicated to “if this piece breaks, it can now be utilized in the following ways. . .!” A very new way of thinking for a toy company! (But none have broken yet!)

5 Stars Love this water bottle! Great for kids and adults!
I purchased these water bottles after extensive research trying to find the “perfect” BPA-free insulated water bottle. Great for kids and adults, we take them everywhere with us. They’re perfect for kids in sports to use during practices and games, as well as for long bike rides and trips in the car. I’m ordering another one for my almost 2 y.o. son as he loves to drink out of everyone else’s-lol. No plastic taste for us, just be sure to wash the out before your first use.

5 Stars Great insulated bottle
I’ve been using the 24oz. bottle at the gym for the last six months. It is the perfect size for a 60 minute spin class or an hour on the eliptical. I usually load it with a scoop of Accelerade drink mix, ice cubes from my ice maker and then fill it up with water. The ice melts at a much slower rate because of the insulation and have a cold drink throughout class. I also like the fact the material is BPA free, so one less thing to worry about. The little carry ring that fits between the cap and the body is real handy if your hands are full with other gym stuff. I tried using this the 24oz on my Specialized Tarmac bike but it is slightly too big for my frame (52cm). The 20oz might work better, but I usually drink quite a bit while riding, so sticking to non-insulated bottles for biking.

5 Stars Polar Insulated Water Bottle
Received product fast, good price. Excellent product, keeps water cold. This was a replacement purchase for 10-yr old Polar bottles that were worn out from use on bicycles.

5 Stars Nice cold bottle…
Love this polar insulated water bottle. Even though it is tough to squeeze at first, it gets easier w/ time. The carrying loop is a great touch as well. Really keeps things cool for a longer period of time than a standard plastic water bottle. I wanted to try this before I bought more… I definitely would recommend.

5 Stars Great product….would use no other
This water bottle is great! I own four of these and it is the only water bottle I will use. I use them on my bikes, in the car and around the house and office. For hot day rides I freeze one 3/4 full and top off with cold water….will still have cool to cold water three hours later.
