While many shoppers reach for insulated water bottles in the heat of summer to keep their drinks icy cold in the sun, many find they really come into their own when temperatures drop. Not only do insulated bottles keep cold drinks chilled, they also work for hot drinks, keeping a refreshing cup of tea or energising coffee warm and on hand all day. Now, savvy shoppers can secure a decent chunk of cashback when buying the fan-favourite Ninja Thirsti water bottle thanks to a special deal from TopCashback. The 530ml bottle is already discounted from £29.99 to £24.99 at Ninja, but a deal stack from TopCashback means buyers can effectively get the bottle for just over £9. New members of TopCashback who shop at Ninja can get the Ninja Thirsti water bottle for £9.12 after cashback, while those who are already signed up to TopCashback can still save, with the bottle effectively costing £24.12 after cashback. For the uninitiated, TopCashback is a money saving tool which allows shoppers to claim money back on purchases by following a couple of simple steps. Firstly, members should sign up for TopCashback , then search for the brand they’re looking to buy from and click ‘Get Cashback Now’. Then they can shop and check out as usual – after their purchase, their cashback will track and appear in their TopCashback account within 7 working days. Shoppers will have to wait a short while to withdraw their cashback, as this is dependent on when the brand they’ve bought from has paid TopCashback the commission for the purchase. Now, back to the Ninja Thirsti water bottle . The insulated travel bottle has a capacity of 530ml – plenty of room for a morning’s worth of coffee – and is said to be able to keep hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours. It also can keep cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours and keep ice frozen for 2 days, so it could be a great buy ahead of summer, too. If shoppers enjoy fizzy drinks, the smooth interior of the bottle is designed to retain the bubbles in their favourite beverage. Plus, the lid is leak-proof, so there’s no need to worry about spills. The bottle is available in a wide range of colours, from mint green to hot pink, coral to tropical blue, though it should be noted that prices vary depending on the colour. If the Ninja Thirsti water bottle isn’t calling out to shoppers, they could take a look at the Chilly’s Series 2 Water Bottle for £32 from Chilly’s. This one holds 50ml, has a handy carry loop on top of the lid, and comes in all kinds of colours, keeping hot drinks hot for 12 hours or cold drinks cold for 24 hours. Alternatively, Amazon has the STANLEY Flip Straw 2.0 Sports Water Bottle With Straw for £37.98 for a 700ml bottle, which is said to keep drinks cold for 10 hours, or 2 days if ice is added. It’s leakproof, has a carry handle and a flip straw, and comes in a cute pastel pink. However, neither of these options come with the TopCashback offer that the Ninja Thirsti water bottle has. Plus, the Ninja bottle has plenty of fans who’ve shared their thoughts on their purchase. One happy shopper said: “I believe this has to be the best water thermos I’ve ever used… Easily keeps coffee hot enough to drink for a full shift (8hrs) as well as keeping ice water vey cold all day too. Thank you Ninja, you’ve made this sceptic very happy.” Another added: “Great flask. Love that it keeps fizz in drinks. Hot drinks, wow do they stay hot. Cold drinks with ice are still very cold 24hrs later. Definitely recommend.” Some found it wasn’t quite what they were after. One said: “Nice looking bottle. It could just do with a longer spout to drink from and a bit narrower. Keeps water nice and cold. Easy to hold.” Another added that it didn’t fit in their car cup holder: “Bought my self this as a treat. But it’s not too good for work as it doesn’t fit in the cup holder in a Mercedes Sprinter Van that I drive for work. Other than that it keeps my green tea hot/warm all day as it’s basically a thermos with a fancy lid and outer.” However, another shopper said: “I thought this bottle would be like all other drink bottles but I was wrong. From the crisp colour to the beautiful feel of the bottle it is in a league of its own. The leak proof locking cap is a fantastic feature which makes the Thirsti Ninja bottle stand out above all others.”
