Metal water bottles - worth it?

I’m looking on amazon and like the fact they keep cold drinks cold. However they seem to be about £20-£25 for the original ones which gets expensive when buying 3!! I’ve seen some for £10 ish too which is still a bit expensive for a water bottle but wondering if it would be as good as the more expensive ones? Can anyone recommend one to me? Are the cheaper ones just as good? Can you get them for less than £10 a bottle?

They're not the cheapest but I've had mine for ages, abuse them, and they're still going strong.

Thanks. They look good too. I can’t decide on a two colour version or the silver with pink flamingoes (found a cheaper version of this than the chillys one) I like them all.

We have expensive ones but I also bought a £4 one from wilkos in October for my son as he keeps losing bottles at school. It's actually great. Keeps the water just as cold as the expensive ones.

There are some in the Co-op for £8 at the moment.

I've just got one so I can go into work, fill the bottle from the filtered chiller and then navigate the new one way system so I don't have to walk literally 350 degrees round the site in the rain before being able to come back inside and access the next source of drinking water.

I have a Chillys one which is excellent, keeps things cold for a good long time. I like to go for long walks and long days out, and it's definitely very effective even after a good long day in warm weather.

I also have a cheaper one (from Typo, I think) which is fine, but the cold does not last nearly as well. It's fine for a day at work though.

We have One green bottle ones. I bought 2 for ds and dd for £7 in the sale after ds broke 4 plastic bottles (the lids) his first term at school nursery. They're great and I like that I can buy just the lid part if he manages to break it. He hasn't so far though he only did Jan-lockdown at nursery with it. hoping I'm not going to be made to replace it as there is a rule about clear bottles now presumably to prevent squash

I have two S’well ones I got them from there own website or John Lewis sell them. I use one for hot drinks lasts about 10 hours and one for cold lasts nearly 24. I would defo recommend them as tried cheaper ones and they didn’t work as well.
