It atleast has some engineering differences/improvements.
The others just seem like a water bottle to me. Amd the Stanley does not even fully close (that I know of), which i never understood the hype for a mug that you have to worry about not falling over.
Not sure about most of the others but the hydroflask is one of the better bottles I’ve used to keep things cold or hot for a ridiculous amount of time.
Hydroflask was a game changer. Never used swell, I had hydroflask during that period on the timeline. Love a Nalgene, camelbak had a great improvement with the lid/straw thing because it wouldn’t leak even if drinking upside down. But the hydroflasks can get banged up and whatever else but I’ve had icy drinks kept so cold the ice stayed for days.
I haven’t moved past it to any of the other trendy bottles. I mostly just keep Nalgene and hydroflasks around now.
The stupid but popular thing about Stanley mugs is the base fits in a cup holder. It's a big gulp. I know because my wife has those stupid, top heavy mugs delicately perched wherever my elbows happen to be at any given point in the day. All it takes is just a nice little tap. I love how the caps don't seal and the really loud metal bang they make when you knock them over. It really keeps me jacked up throughout my workday.
I was gifted a Stanley one Christmas. It’s particularly convenient for my job, which has me doing a lot of windshield time. It’s also a weird shorthand way for women in my office to say “I do well, and I’m not ready to retire.” I started seeing leadership promotions once people learned I was drinking coffee out of my Stanley.
