This is a great bottle! I had to replace my large water bottle that I lugged around at work. It was inconvenient transporting this huge bottle with me in my car. The bottle was tossing and tumbling and the worst part was how it leaked water all over the place. I knew it was time for my to make the switch to a more manageable sized bottle. I just got this delivered today and was very eager to try this bottle out. This bottle is simply great. No leaks and it's a perfect size for my cars cupholder. Instead of lugging around a purple bottle, I can finally show off my favorite colors. I absolutely love this color combo! Additionally, this bottle is very easy to hold in my hand. I used to struggle to open my old one, but this one opens with a push of a button. Did I mention it comes with a neat scrubber? I thought that was very thoughtful. Read more
This is the second motivational bottle that I have gotten, and the third that I have owned. My inability to keep these bottles in my possession, due to my apparent complete lack of spatial recognition in daily life, I went with the lowest price. That would be the first positive thing about the bottle: Under $10. Next, there are those cute inspirational lines with handy times on there to encourage you to get your 8 oz every hour. Lord knows I need all the motivation I can get to make it through the day. Unlike my last bottle, this one is less like your good friend encouraging you with praise every hour, and more like that over enthusiastic aerobics instructor at your local ymca. No matter, Whatever Gets Me those 8 oz, right? Anyway, it arrived on time and was easy to open. This one came with its own cleaning brush which I appreciated immensely! Having that folding sponge-topped brush specifically designed to clean out all the weird assortments of pseudo water bottles that I consistently hang on to, despite the fact that I can't find the straw or the top or both to match any of them, makes me feel more like the Responsible Adult I aspire to be. Following the cleaning as recommended by The Helpful instructions in the bottom of the bottle, I was ready to finally work on myself and get my chug on. Then I encountered the spout. Unlike my most recent beloved bottle, (which chose to remain behind at the end of a full moon crystal sound bath meditation ceremony on the beach... don't really blame, it always seemed to him to embrace Zen better than me) which featured the option to have a free pouring spout or a bendable straw, with this one you push a button to pop the top and access the pouring spout. Aye, there's the rub, bevause yhe spout did not pop up fully erect (see pic). So when I lift the bottle in either the forward tilting side or the backward tilting side and attempt to drink, my chin either catches on the latch or on the lid. Tired of looking like a post-drugged-up-root-canal patient every time I attempted to Keep Sipping On! I went with some percussive maintenance to force the flaccid spout upright, enabling me to properly suck (it's...been a minute, guys). This leads me to the next semi-positive about the bottle . The suction is tight, due to some very excellent leakage control, which overall I take as a positive (I mean, isn't it always?) as I am very rough on my beverage containers. They travel with me from beach, to the gym, work, the car, my bicycle and whatever fresh hell arises in the day, and I need to be prepared to slip the handle around my wrist without getting an unexpected splattering cross my chest or, God forbid, my lap. After all, that's what food is for, right? Well I am happy to say that this bottle is definitely watertight. To the point that you better be prepared to suck and suck hard. Which is an apt metaphor for life when you think about it. To close the spout, use similar aggressive Force to push the dang thing down, close the cap and, if you are feeling extra careful and can remember to remove it before whipping it up to your face for some fast hydration (I don't), you can lock it into place. Overall, I have so far managed to get my 32 oz a day in without breaking any component, other than my thumb when attempting to open and close the spout, and the bottle not only holds water perfectly, but has only tried to leave me once. My only option for this remarkably low price was to get it in this aqua blue shade which just happens to match the sky, the ocean and the general ennui of my existence. So if your life is a hot mess, and you are looking to stay cool with proper hydration, consider this bottle. I mean, it couldn't hurt, (other than your thumb). Read more
This bottle looks great, and is so far durable. I do have some complaints though. The first being that every time I open the cap I get squirted with the water coming out of my straw. I don't overfill my bottle, nor do I leave air in the straw once it is filled up, so I am not sure why this is happening. The second complaint I have is that the times on the bottle aren't adjustable. I would like to be able to customize the hours on the bottle. My last complaint is that I wish this company had a chug bottle with no straws. Read more
