Efficient, Effective, Excellent. Buy!
I wanted to wait a while (6 weeks) before posting a review on this product to make sure I utilized it enough. For reference, I was a BlenderBottle+ProStak user for a number of years. I ran into the same issues others did with the screw-on top either eventually leaking or cracking. I was mostly interested in the ProStak capabilities of the bottle rather than the bottle itself. I tend to mix supplements/powders throughout the day so being able to carry them around in ProStak containers was helpful especially because they screwed on to the bottom of my 16oz (22oz when filled to the top) bottle. That was also a complaint I had! The ProStak capable bottles are way too small for my liking (i.e. not enough ounces).<br /><br />Enter Hydra Cup!<br /><br />Pros:<br />- 36oz capacity<br />- 2 separate compartments (22oz + 14oz) that don't leak/mix allowing for different supplements being pre-mixed<br />- No noisy BlenderBottle shaker ball<br /><br />Cons:<br />- My investment in ProStak containers! My Hydra Cup bottom seems to be the same dimensions as the ProStak tops... if my Hydra Cup only had the slots I could twist my ProStak containers onto! :)<br /><br />Concerns:<br />- This is a concern not a con (and hopefully won't be), the 4 clips that clamp the lid onto the bottle are plastic and lacking a true hinge or something to pivot on. You can see the plastic changing color where it bends to clamp onto the bottle. If there was a slightly different design that allowed for a small steel rod (or equivalent) there would be no strain on the plastic and possible point of failure. Like I said, this isn't a problem but I could see it being an issue especially if someone is mixing multiple times a day as I am. We'll see.<br /><br />All in all, the best mixing bottle I've ever used and at an amazing price! I don't have any real complaints and I hopefully won't. Looking forward to what innovation comes next from Hydra Cup! Great product and recommended buy!
