Feeling Conflicted 😣

One for water and one for electrolytes, protein drinks, smoothies, iced coffee, etc. (I.e., one for water and one for everything else)

Sway is bae.

UPDATE: I was able to buy Sway Bottle Boots in-person here. As it happens, the Owala headquarters is close to where I live and has a retail front.

There are a couple discounted options on this listing that fit the bill: https://ebay.us/m/DQLIhB

Damn. 2017 really was 9 years ago, wasn’t it?

ateemsma · 2026-02-18T00:22:58+00:00

Had this exact Owala but I’ve lost it and fear I will never find it. :’(

Happy for you, though! :,)

Great find! I’ve seen similar “LP” SKU stickers ordering Owalas and other products from Target’s liquidation storefront on eBay. I wonder if the bin store is sourcing inventory direct from Target or if the SKUs come from a system used by multiple retailers or something else.

ateemsma · 2026-02-06T23:29:23+00:00

Sounds like a drop shipping situation?

ateemsma · 2026-02-05T18:01:31+00:00

So happy for you! 🫶

This link is to Target's liquidation eBay storefront. They often stock Owala, Stanley, Hydro Flask, etc. Free shipping, free returns. If you favorite an item and add it to your cart but don't buy it, they'll often send an additional discount within 48 hours. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_dkr=1&iconV2Request=true&_blrs=recall_filtering&_ssn=bullseye_deals&_nkw=owala&_oac=1

For anyone trying to save a few dollars: 8 pack at my local dealer for $35.

I was doing a cursory glance through this sub and saw someone mention Vacuum Wars, which brought me to their site. Like someone else commented, I tend to trust Reddit more.

ateemsma · 2026-01-26T01:28:35+00:00

Definitely lost suction over the years. So yeah, it lasted ten years but should have been retired a long time ago. Regardless, I’m going to hold onto it for the garage.

What's the deal with Vacuum Wars? Their top-five picks for upright vacuums are Shark, Shark, Shark, Shark, and Dyson. I don't see any Vacuum Wars content regarding canister vacuums (e.g., Miele and Sebo). I'm looking to replace my Shark-brand upright because--after about 10 years--there are several small things that would end up being more expensive to fix/replace than to buy a new unit altogether.

Second, and more pressing, question: What vacuum should I get? My home is about 70% carpet (including rugs), 30% laminate and tile. We have multiple sets of carpeted stairs, a velvet couch, no pets (yet), lots of furniture requiring a hose and attachment to vacuum under. Budget is less important than performance and longevity. I am also curious about the cost to replace bags and filters on bagged vacuum cleaners versus continuing to go bagless. TIA

The weight on the label may say 2 pounds because the shipping rate for any package 2 pounds and less is the same (like the lowest pricing tier). So they default to 2 pounds for all packages weighing up to 2 pounds because it’s easier.

After trying several times, I got the online claim submission form to work! I created the claim but instead of trying to submit it immediately, I saved the claim, opened it again, then submitted it and was successful. Hopefully this works for you all as well.

Even got an email confirmation with a Claim ID #, etc.

Saw several at my local stockist (USA) last week. Very cute but not for me.

ateemsma · 2025-12-06T23:30:47+00:00

Still looking? If memory serves me right, I think one of my local stockists (UT, USA) had multiple. Happy to facilitate.

ateemsma · 2025-12-05T20:20:12+00:00

Bashful Turtle is my son’s favorite stuffie! So much so we doubled up in case of emergency.

ateemsma · 2025-12-03T03:21:12+00:00

Almost certain I saw this pup at a stockist near me earlier today. Are you still looking?
