20 Best Insulated Filtered Water Bottle (2023 Updated)

When I first decided to drink less water in single use plastic bottles, primarily for environmental reasons, I noticed a problem. The tap water I was putting directly into a regular reusable bottle was making me sick.

The tap water by itself will make my throat sore and just overall makes me feel off, likely as a result of the many chemicals added to our water. As a result, I decided to find another solution. Then someone online pointed me to the Brita bottles.

I ended up buying one and immediately could tell a difference. The water tastes better and I do not have the same issues with this bottle that I had drinking it directly from the tap. The investment to buy one of these is somewhat high, but if you actually use it, it can save you a lot of money over buying bottled water rather quickly.

I have been using mine for about 3 months now and it has held up very well despite constantly dropping it onto concrete. There are a few dents and scratches, but nothing you can obviously tell from a distance and doesn’t affect the usability of the bottle.

Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to cut bottled water out of their life and has poor tap water quality.

Okay, so first of all let me say that I absolutely LOVE my Brita water bottle. I was lucky and found mine at a local surplus store so it was only $9. I had no idea how incredible this water bottle was but I’m super happy I got it.

I have always been very, very weird about what I drink from. With this water bottle, there’s no weird taste and I know that nothing is getting into my water. Yes, it keeps my water cold which is a giant plus.

Downside is that the rubber mouthpiece is very hard to clean properly and so, both mine and my sister’s water bottles ended up growing black mold. My sister just tossed her bottle but I managed to get rid of it by using a toothbrush to scrub at the inside, letting it sit in boiling water for about three minutes, and then using alcohol to really sanitize it (I may have also used a knife to scrape at the area where the mold was at first).

For most people I think they’d probably buy a new one but I think these are a little too expensive to throw out.

I love my Brita bottle! I wanted to get one years ago but never did because I am a cold water drinker only but when I saw this I knew it would be life changing! I’m very particular about the taste of water especially when traveling from state to state (I go to school out of state) and this ensures a consistent and clean taste.

I am a rower and often have my water bottle in the shell with me and it has lasted very well with all of the damage I put it through, I even accidentally dropped it down a flight if concrete stairs on the lid and other then one minor dent it did not sustain any real damage.

My issue is with the size of the bottle. Since the straw and filter components are so large you can’t really put more than like two ice cubes in the bottle and you can’t fill it all the way because of the water displacement from the filter so you’re not actually getting a full 20oz.

I wish there was a bigger size that could fix these minor issues but other than that my favorite water bottle!.

I’ve waited roughly 6 months of using my life straw water bottle before making a review about it. I love the filter for obvious reasons, so that’s a huge plus. But the straw itself, and the mouthpiece it connects to are both super disappointing.

With every sip of the straw, I’m getting 70% air, and 30% water. There’s an air pocket in the straw no matter how tightly I fasten the filter to the bottle top, or how hard I press the mouthpiece forward (toward me).

It’s inevitable, you’re going to swallow a ton of air with every sip. It’s extremely frustrating to be getting more air than water. It makes me chronically bloated and gassy, and it feels really uncomfortable.

The rubber mouthpiece is decent for a little while, but mine has already ripped, which only makes it so that I’m getting even more air and less water with every sip. Again, super disappointing. I haven’t had the bottle for very long, and I took good care of it.

Frankly, if not for the filter, I wouldn’t bother at all with this water bottle. It leaves a lot to be desired.

If you want everything in your bag to get wet then you should definitely buy this. Bought 4 as Christmas presents in anticipation of a summer trip to Ecuador and Galapagos Islands. Followed the instructions meticulously and filled after security at the airport.

All 4 leaked like sieves when not kept perfectly upright. I read in some other reviews “make sure to keep upright to keep from leaking”. This is an absurd requirement for a travel water bottle. An open cup of water won’t leak if kept upright either, but you would never consider that a convenient travel item.

Because we bought them as Christmas gifts and did not use them until the summer, the retailer is refusing to accept the return on this defective item (past 90 days). 🙁 We ended up having to buy bottled water.

At least we were able to fill our bottled water bottles with “safe” water at the hotels to keep down on plastic waste, no thanks to this faulty product.

The LifeStraw stainless steel water filter bottle is a valuable product that solves many problems in one package – getting clean filtered water without generating more plastic waste is at the top of the list.

The insulated body keeps the water cool for a long time is another benefit – no longer need to buy ice or lug a cooler around with ice in it. The stainless steel body means no worries about BPA ingestion.

The steel body also translates to a longer life as it can handle daily wear and tear from use better than a plastic bottle. When travelling internationally and moving around in multiple cities and geographies, this bottle comes in very handy without worrying about finding clean water or a source of water that can be trusted.

The two stage water filter is well integrated and can be replaced easily. I would have loved the carbon filter to have a bit more of a longer life but cannot complain given the job it does. The one area that one needs to pay attention is the weight.

Given the stainless steel construction of the body combined with the filters, it will always be a bit more heavy than the regular plastic single use disposable water bottle. The build quality is solid.

The soft silicon piece is a nice touch and it remains to be seen how it stands after extended use. Note that a bit of prep is needed before first use. Nothing complicated or burdensome but need to be aware of it so that you do not get surprised when you reach for it to use.

You may find the water taste differently until you get used to the taste the initial few times. I am not sure if the taste went away or I got used to it to notice after a few times. Nothing bad, just need to be aware of this.

Overall, a good water bottle that is great at doing what it does in an easy convenient way without feeling guilty about creating more plastic pollution or going through the trouble of finding good water when you are out and about when camping, hiking or travelling in unfamiliar parts of the world.

Let me start off by saying that this a great filtered water bottle. I’ve had many filtered water bottles over time and the taste of this one is probably the better tasting one so far. The look of this bottle is very nice.

The weight of the bottle is a lot heavier than most. I have small hands so when I fill it up, it’s quite heavy. I did purchase the sleeve to go with this bottle and it does help. The filter inside is bigger than most filters and when you fill up the bottle you can only fill it half way or the water will overflow.

I feel that I’m getting the whole 25oz. It’s hard to tell how much water to fill it up to before it will overflow once you put the filter inside. All in all, this is a good bottle. I’ll keep using it.

The water tastes great, so the filter and pure vis cap (I endedk up going with both), clearly work The water does stay cold throughout the day as well, so the insulation does it’s job! However, the bottle could use some updates, the filter takes up a good amount of volume, limiting the quantity of water you can hold.

The cap also seems to leak water when filled to the top and when opening/closing the straw lid. The straw is definitely difficult to sip out of as previous reviews have mentioned (but honestly not that bad).

the pure vis top does not screw on as easy as I would like. Overall, the bottle is slick and the water is clean and tasty. Just need some design updates.

Makes the water taste much better. I feel good about being able to drink the tap water when I travel without worrying about what’s in the water, and without having to buy water in plastic bottles. My only complaint is that drinking through the straw requires a lot of force to draw the water up.

In other words, you have to **** really hard. Guess it’s because of the filter design. Im glad to have gotten it. Very well made, excellent quality. Four and a half stars.

I have no problem with the quality of the product but I wouldn’t recommend any of my friends to make a purchase from you for the following reason. After reading for two years the health benefits from your emails, I decided to order a 40oz for myself and a 21oz as a gift for my friend and in order to get free shipping, I had to order 8 diffusers which is a big commitment for a new user.

It tallied to just over US$150 and it was a bit of a shocker when it converted to CAN$212 but since I already do all the steps , I decided to go ahead even though I thought it’s a little out of my budget especially my only income is from my government pension.

I was excited to receive notification of the eta but it was changed a couple of times and I got this email from UPS that I have to pay an import fee of CAN$52. O now these two water bottles and the diffusers would cost me close to CAN$300 which was way over what I was prepared to spend.

Instead of trying to figure out how to cancel the order when I already told my friend about her birthday gift, I had to go through it and paid the extra money. What was so upsetting was I thought I was getting free shipping and DYLN never mention that such charges could applied to the consumer and I had to find that out when the product was almost at my doorstep.

I am an easy going person and rarely complain about anything but this purchase did leave a sour taste. I don’t know if DYLN would do anything but at least you heard my voice now.

I’ve been using this bottle for about 3 years. I thought so much of it I bought one for my husband. We both love them. So, some things YOU can be the judge on: They are not for everyone. They are not “light weight” (but also not “heavy”) they’re made with a quality metal with a VERY sturdy coating.

Mine has never chipped or changed color and I have the white one. I’ve never had a problem with their customer service, but I also know how to cut people some slack (especially during a pandemic) and know to check my cart before I pay for something to make sure my order is complete.

Also, alkaline water is not a drug – your not going to “feel it” like you just took some pill. BUT, in my experience, it does help in a lot of ways I did not expect. I have an “acidy” stomach (maybe an acidy system?) And I’m nauseous a lot.

I had black ulcers when I started drinking alkaline water, heartburn and acid reflux and not from physical issues (yay stress). I started drinking the expensive bottled brand that shall not be named, and it did seem to settle things a bit.

I wasn’t as nauseous as much. I bought the Dyln to save money (and I have saved so much). I, of course, still took my meds and am not crediting just the water, but my ulcers healed quickly and they have not returned.

And my heartburn and acid reflux is not so bad. I have no idea if it’s science or just a placebo – but I also don’t really care. The water tastes somehow “flat” at first if you’ve never tried it. But you might also notice nothing, like my husband and sister did (maybe it’s me?).

I’m giving this a 5 for my sister. I was with her through hospice and she was nauseous all the time (from cancer and chemo). She had a hard time keeping water down. For some reason (again – don’t really care why) she was able to drink more alkaline water than anything else and KEEP IT DOWN – she said it felt lighter on her stomach.

Idk why – but I bought her own bottle so she could stay hydrated as best she could. They came out with the rubber bottoms and straw tops just in time for her. Good product.

I LOVE ❤ my DYLN water bottle!! The taste of the water is so much better than even ay bottled water I’ve ever tried. My husband and my brother both had cancer last year. I bought them both a bottle and I felt like I was able to contribute to their healing.

Cancer cells love an acidic environment to flourish in. The pH balance the DYLN bottle creates can absolutely make a difference in their healing. I love using my bottle cuz it’s cool and the sport cap ‘straw’ makes drinking a safe experience.

The way it tucks away down into the cap when it’s not being used is really clean. Anyway, I have been percent grateful for this product. Thanks for addressing a real need out here. The need for healthy water in a beautiful, functional design.

The CrazyCap 2 Value Pack seems to be a great product. It’s a quality water bottle with a UV cap. The bottles and the caps seem to be living up to the provided description. The stainless steel bottle keeps beverages cool, as stated.

We fill our bottles with cold water at our 9pm bedtime. When we wake up between 5-6am, the water is still deliciously cold. As far as the actual purpose of my purchase: the UV cleaning capabilities, I’ve “only†been utilizing the UV cap for about 14 days.

During this time, the stainless steel does get build up around the interior of the mouth piece (easily washes off). However, the build up isn’t accompanied by the typical unpleasant scent I’ve had with the average, non UV stainless steel water bottle.

I was previously utilizing an average stainless steel bottle with a typical cap closure, for about a year. Unfortunately, despite regular washings, deep bleachings, and peroxide cleanings, my previous bottles had a significantly unpleasant scent.

This scent was almost bad enough to where I considered never ever using a stainless steel bottle again lol. So I did some research and found CrazyCap. I took a peek behind the scientific evidence of UV light in regards to disinfecting capabilities in regards to water.

The research seems to provide positive findings of effective results. So I took the plunge and orders this value pack. There’s a few less than positive aspects, but these are likely fluid, and just from my personal prospective: 1).

Cost/Value could be greatly improved. The cost for the CrazyCap 2 Value Pack almost made me decide to pass on this purchase or keep looking. Fortunately/thankfully, I found a promo code that helped a tad, but still… I caught myself wanting to under exaggerate about the costs of this purchase when a family member asked me about the cost of the bottles.

I wanted to say “$50 per bottle with the cap†but didn’t want to fib lol. The family member was shocked in regards to the cost of the bottles (more than $50 each). I think $50 each would be a comfortable price point for 1 stainless steel bottle, with 1 CrazyCap.

At that price point, I would make this purchase again, with much less hesitation. A typical/standard stainless steel bottle is about $12. 50 each (a set of 2 stainless steel bottles with typical caps is about $25 at a wholesale store near me, with free shipping at Sam’s) – The water holding capacity could be improved.

I feel this bottle would be better if it were to provide a 24-32 ounces holding capacity. However, these bottles may have a certain capacity limit due to strategic purposes like providing a more universal fit on other bottles perhaps (and maybe there’s already a larger size available).

Other than these things, I’m enjoying this purchase and would recommend this item to others, but only if they’re comfortable spending at this price point.

I love the look of the teak bottle, very sleek. Overall I love the idea of the product and being able to sanitize on the go. However, I question the quality of the product. After only 3 months, the cap does not hold a charge and therefore you cannot sanitize water.

I contacted customer service, and they are sending me a replacement cap. Let’s hope this one works better than the first! However, they are charging me $6 shipping on the cap. It’s a small dollar amount, but it feels super tacky when the product is under warranty for 10 years, and the cap stopped working after only 3 months! I was told by customer service the shipping is managed by a 3rd party, (isn’t all shipping managed by a 3rd party???) And there was no way they could ship the replacement cap for free even though they offer free shipping on new purchases.

I was so excited when I first heard about the product, but I can’t say I would recommend this product.

I really like my CrazyCap Bottle. Good looking, elegant, and very trendy 17 oz/500ml bottle. The material feels high quality and durable. It can keep cold water for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours. It includes a tiny booklet, with the enough information and easy to understand, 2 rubber cap rings, 2 alcohol wipes, usb charger for the cap, and a nice cinch bag for travel.

The initial setup is pretty intuitive, just start by attaching the charger to the cap, so it will charge the Cap and may take up to two hours to fully charge, while the amber light is blinking it will display on top of the cap, and once it is fully charge the color will change to green.

Once it is charged, the cap will shoot a ray of UV light to the water that will kill 99. 99% of all harmful bacteria. There are 2 modes of sterilize the water, the “Normal Mode” which is for tap water and the “Crazy Mode” designed for highly contaminated water, like water from rivers, lakes or ponds.

To activate “Normal Mode” just tap the cap top sensor twice, and the UV ray will work on water for 1 minute, and “Crazy Mode” tap the cap 5 times and the light will shot the water up to 2. 5 minutes.

In both cases a bliking blue light will be on until it turns green once is finished. However on of the most interesting features of this product, is that you can sterilize many other things by shooting the UV light to any surface, like your Cell Phone, keyboards, Toothbrushes, laptops, etc, and sterilize them with the UV technology.

Of course you have to be careful by keeping your wyes away of the UV light. This is a great device to have at home specially in this days when you want to make sure everything is properly decontaminated and CrazyCap is the right asset, a quality product, highly recommended for everyone that is concerned about keeping cleanliness.

I bought this because of a friend’s advice for traveling. I’ve used it for less than 10 fills. The white long stick filter has black spots of mold everywhere. There is no way to clean it. This is a very expensive bottle that I can’t use unless I buy a new white stick replacement.

I also bought two gray carbon filters with the order to get to free shipping. The grey filter that comes with the original white stick does not budge easily. I can’t seem to figure out how to replace the component.

My friends buys an entire new unit (white stick and grey filter). If that’s what I was suppose to do, why did the company suggest the two small grey carbon components during purchase?.

I believe this is a necessary item for people concerned about consuming healthy water. Todays public water is not filtered for microscopic bacteria, fungi or virus. This products filtration system captures these pathogens.

Many other products do not provide the micro filtration needed. For anyone with lung or immune issues, please do the research and you too will get this product. I recently traveled and knew I was drinking safe water at each location.

I found the bottle easy to refill and carry. I purchased more as gifts. If you are returning to travel, I highly recommend this product to safeguard your health.

My daughter studied overseas for a semester. I knew she would be traveling to locations that may not have clean water available. She traveled with her university to Morocco for two weeks with a group of about 8 other students.

My daughter was the only one with a Lifestraw filter and bottle. They did travel to areas where clean water was not be available. My daughter’s lifestraw was used by the entire group. None of the students got sick.

Lifestraw was an absolute necessity for this group of students. They all had a good trip and returned healthy. Thank you Lifestraw!.

I gave the water bottle to my husband as his plastic one had broke the day before this came in the mail. He’s been using it daily so I feel comfortable leaving a review. Here goes. The bottom of the tube packaging had fallen off during shipment but the bottle looked ok.

We like the slim and slique design. Holds a good amount of water. The little handle on the lid what a great idea. His only complaint is the filter bag getting sucked up with the straw and blocking water flow when using the sports lid.

We both prefer the green plastic bottle design. I will keep using mine until it breaks. We look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

Barely after the 1 year warranty expired, the exterior began chipping off & the lid started leaking. This water bottle was expensive as kids bottles go & has not held up to very basic wear & tear of being kept in the bottle pocket of a backpack daily.

Very disappointing.

I wanted this for ages but couldnt bring myself to buy the one on Amazon for 32? Zzzzzzz Low and behold I found this one on EBay and didnt expect it to be authentic. It definitely is and my water tastes cleaner and smells better than ever before.

I have since recommended it to others and bought one for a work colleague who loves it! My fridge is now stacked with these bottles that I keep handy wherever I go!.

Excellent product. Only issue I find is having to remove the filter to refill it every time, which isn’t easy – one must have nails! I would prefer if the filter were attached to the top in some way, or at least some way to grab hold of it.

Fits in pocket for easy carry while walking. Easy to hold. Doesn’t break when dropped.

I bought this for my kids to take to school. The filter easily pops out so you can wash it

Bid farewell to wasteful and expensive bottled water, and say hello to bobble. The bobble filtered water bottle is a revolutionary step in achieving filtered water in a convenient, efficient, and environmentally friendly way.

Utilizing a high quality, patented carbon filter, bobble’s water bottles help you save money by offering a system that filters your tap water as you drink, and eliminates the need to purchase costly single-serve bottled water.

With aesthetics by renowned designer Karim Rashid, this bottle is of an easy grip, squeezable design, with a filter that is a direct extension of the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece snaps open and closed, much like a plastic sport’s drink nozzle, and an oval plastic cap protects it from dirt and contaminants when not in use.

The kids bobble is designed to make your child want to drink water with a fun and colorful design, paired with a smaller size that is easy for small hands to grip. The filter has a green band with red filter and yellow mouth piece and is sure to keep your kids refilling.

Also included are fun stickers that will have them and their friends wanting more. bobble is made from FDA approved recycled PET that is free of BPA, Phthalates and PVC. Due to these properties, it’s handy on-the-go filtration, and the entire product being completely recyclable, bobble is featured as one of Oprah’s favorites for eco-friendly products.

Before first use, simply rinse one bottle full of water through the filter to remove any loose carbon. The filter is recommended to be replaced every 2 months or after 40 gallons of water have been used (roughly 300 refills).

Fun, colorful design and small size is great for little hands-High quality carbon filter filters water as you drink-bobble is made from FDA approved recycled PET – that is free of BPA, Phthalates and PVC.

So I’m pretty much a collector of water bottles at this point as I take my hydration rather seriously and aim to drink 2L/68oz a day. It’s really difficult to find a nice-looking 34oz bottle so I was very excited when I found this one (the excitement was short lived).

Though the look is sleek, the function just didn’t do it for me. Upon initial purchase, you have to rinse out this bottle to get some black stuff out of the filter, which I did, but this showed me the flimsiness of the design, because one subtle squeeze to the bottle (in the wrong place, I guess) left a dent in the plastic, that’s still there.

The silicone handle was another thing I was excited about, as the other big water bottles I own have hard plastic handles that are occasionally tough on hands—the handle was also another disappointment as you can’t hold the bottle from there or the cap will come off (obviously from the weight of the water, but for a 34oz bottle, this should have been rethought).

Drinking out of this bottle is also not pleasant. You have to squeeze it to drink out of it, which, by the end of the bottle, requires considerably more effort. It also makes a terrible gasping-for-air sound as it returns to its original size post-squeeze, which is probably my least favourite aspect of the whole bottle.

I’m always in class, in placement, or at work, so sometimes I’ll be in quiet rooms trying to have a drink of water, and I can’t because it’s SO LOUD. I paid $18CAD for this and almost immediately wanted to return it, but I don’t think the store would’ve done it.

So now it sits in my cabinet. But hey, the filter does improve the taste of water (although it takes up room in the bottle, so the bottle truly holds 32oz), so if you don’t mind squeeze bottles, this might be for you.

✅ I really love this product. I am working all day and there is no filter water on the premises. I did not like the idea of drinking tap water and since I try to drink at 92 oz a day I knew I had to get a filter water bottle.

This really does the trick and I drink as much water as I please. There are however a couple of minor issues, the material is soft plastic which makes it easier to squeeze and get water out however, I prefer a harder plastic.

Also its hard to get ice or fruit like lime, lemons, or cucumbers, in and out since the opening is tiny. I found out the hard way just because I can get a piece of fruit in does not mean I can get it out.

If you want cold water you can either put ice cubes in one by one or just put it the freezer. Make sure the fruit is cut into small chunks so it can easily go in and out.

Ordered 3 bottles. One leaked air from the very beginning. Squeaks loudly when sucking action attempted. Barely able to get any water through mouthpiece. Sadly second bottle ruined once my son attempted to put ocean water inside and after that saltwater was stuck in the chamber.

Would appreciate one replacement for item with air leak. Third bottle no issues. Purchased for Mexico trip but barely used.

The feeling of having a water filtration at the ease of your water bottle is quite satisfactory. I tried the LifeStraw Play with Lead Reduction ,it is kid friendly water bottle with integrated advanced filtration.

Its Made with the highest quality materials, durable, leak-proof and easy-to-clean. The mouthpiece is silicon ,soft to feel, water comes through the filter to the mouthpiece without much effort. I am not sure if this filter changes the taste of the water but I find water tasting better with LifeStraw filter than my regular filtration system at home.

I can have safe water from any tap, public water fountain without any worry. Below are its specifications: * LifeStraw Play includes an advanced 2 stage filter (microbiological and carbon filters), bottle, cap with silicon mouthpiece * Filtration technology: Hollow fiber microfiltration membrane (0.

2 microns) with an activated carbon filter * Hollow fiber filter lifetime: 500 gallons (2,000 liters). Pores clog over time as the filter is used; reaching end of life when water cannot pass through * Carbon filter lifetime: 25 gallons (100 liters).

With frequent use, recommended to change filter every 3 months * Bottle material: Tritan plastic, BPA free, dishwasher safe (once filter is removed) My take: This is the most innovative product which we all need when there is so much pollutant and chemical in everything we eat and drink.

It would have been better if the purification was not just based on sipping the water through the filter, so that one bottle can be shared with others if needed( can not share my used mouthpiece with others).

Also I would prefer a little bigger size ,the current size is not enough for the adults, needs frequent refill due to its small size. My overall opinion is very favorable and I would like to buy a few for the other members of the family as this is far better ,safe and economic than buying bottled water.

I bought 2 of these for my adult daughter and I to use for a European tour summer 2019. We liked the smaller size for our daybags so we didn’t have some giant bottle sticking out. We were grateful to be able to fill them at every water fountain, bathroom sink, etc as it was in the upper 90s for several days without concern of the water source.

The only drawback in the Play waterbottle is that the top seals so tight that it doesn’t let air back into the bottle as you drink. So to get water out, we ended up unscrewing the lid then sip through the mouthpiece as normal.

Then drinking was easy otherwise you suck your brains out to get a few drops. It would be really great if Lifestraw made an adult bottle that is the smaller size.

Product does what it says on the tin. Perfect for those on the go, commuting or traveling, but most importantly helping the environment by reducing plastic. I couldn’t say if there’s a taste difference but I did notice that I don’t have that stale/sore throat after drinking like other water filtration product so it’s a 10/10 for me.

I would also recommend cleaning the tip of the product once every 2 weeks to ensure there’s no odours.

Love this water bottle. Can get water from any tap and have the confidence that its going to be clean. simple to use. Long lasting charge. Does exactly what the descriptions said it would do. Worth the money for those keen on being at the top of their health and intake of water.

I have the normal Larq bottles (a couple of them), but got this one because I wanted something larger (smaller ones are quick to drink). I love the size. The only drawback is that it is not insulated, so I have to put quite a bit of ice in it to keep it cold.

The insulated version is too heavy (and is smaller), so I will keep this one for now.

I bought this water bottle to take on a long road trip. I use a Britta pitcher at home and wanted the same level of filtration for the campground and hotel water I would be drinking. So far it is working great.

mostly. Right off the bat, I was really pleased with the ergonomics of the thing. It fits nicely in my car’s cupholder. When I’m driving and feel like a drink of water, I can pick up the bottle, open it, take a drink, close it again, and put it back in the cupholder, all with one hand and without taking my eyes off the road.

Long drives are thirsty work, so this has turned out to be super useful. I saw some reviews complaining that the straw offers too much resistance. This hasn’t been an issue for me. It’s about like drinking a soft milkshake through a big straw.

What has been an issue is the filling experience. To fill the bottle, you have to unscrew the top. This comes away and brings the straw with it. There is water in the straw, and this invariably drains onto my pants and shoes.

I’m left holding the bottle in one hand and the top / straw in the other, and then have to manipulate the spigot or whatever I’m filling from. There is a fill line on the bottle (located on the opposite side from the Britta logo, which feels backwards), and this is important.

If you fill the bottle to the brim and then replace the top, the straw displaces a bunch of water. More water on the shoes and pants. But, if you fill it this way, you’re leaving capacity on the table: as soon as you pull water up into the straw, the bottle is no longer full.

The pro way is to fill the bottle to the brim, then pull some water up into the straw *before* replacing the top. All of this is a major rigmarole, and not a fun one to repeat multiple times a day. There is another usability problem with this bottle.

It occurs when the bottle is partly full and left in the sun or a hot car. The air trapped in the bottle expands, and when you open the lid, the water inside the straw is forced out. onto your shoes and pants.

I’ve had this happen enough times now that I should see it coming, but it continues to surprise and annoy me. All in all, this thing is really good, and I would buy it again if I lost it or broke it.

I just hope they sort out the usability problems with the next generation.

When I arrived at UCLA’s dorm, I realized, “Dang. It’s pretty hard to get drinking water on the 7th floor!” This is the solution. I can get water from tap sinks, which is better than purified drinking water fountains because: (1) tap sinks have more water come out faster than water fountains – so that I can fill this bottle in 5 seconds; (2) tap sinks are more accessible in society than drinkable water fountains.

I can go to any bathroom and just get tap water and not have to look everywhere for purified drinking fountains. I don’t know if the water is actually well-filtered, although I do believe so because it tastes cleaner than tap water – yes, I have drunk tap water before.

One thing is is that the bottle is plastic, so you probably shouldn’t put hot water in it. Another thing is, if you want to pour the water into a cup to make instant coffee, for example – you can’t do it.

The only way you can get the filtered water is by sucking through the straw, not by pouring with gravity. This is actually possibly one negative side to this product. I had to just open the lid and pour out unfiltered tap water into my cup to make instant coffee.

Tap water doesn’t kill though, but it is a sad compromise.

Great product. We bought it to eliminate the plastic of water bottles in the house. We needed the most “refined” water for the bottles and for the coffee machine, because the water of Rome, although very good, is very calcareous.

This carafe is for us, it has an elegant design that does not go out of tune at the table and does not struggle to enter the fridge like other carafes with handles. In a few days we got used to drinking from the carafe instead of opening the sink tap and when it’s about to end we fill it up.

It seems to me that we also make the water of the sink flow less with a saving also in consumption, or rather, with less waste of water (a precious asset as we always repeat to our daughters). I recommend it.

I’m not sure what I expected to be so exciting about this water bottle but it’s underwhelming. It works ok although I find the water has a mild taste. Like rain water. I feel my Britta bottle does just as well or better.

Additionally the cap is annoying and ungainly. That said the technology used to clean the water is much more eco friendly than Britta and the water spout design is mind-bogglingly fantastic requiring no slurping or sucking – with nearly no effort the water is just “there” for drinking.

Big bonus if you’ve used a Britta bottle and had to do a workout to get enough suction to pull water through filter straw.

This coffee is a great instant coffee is drink on the go. The taste is more on the sweeter side so if you want a good sweet caffinated drink, this is the perfect drink for you! It is literally brown coffee and therefore is a not as strong as other coffees.

The things with this coffee though is that if you put too much water or milk, the sweet taste the coffee has fades away and can barely be tasted. I still buy it though and recommend!.

Excellent quality product & excellent price. Highly recommend. Their website demonstrates all the science and research they did prior to making their product. I told 2 friends who are buying one. The filter lasts about 3months & very affordable.

Great product!!.

My first experience with alkaline water. This small bottle makes if very easy to take small steps to get used to this new version of water. I’ll have to purchase a larger bottle in the future. Good quality construction and easy to use.

The product is very well made I’m impressed with the double wall insulation and that it’s a complete TurnKey package in as much as the filter is included and the filter create such wonderful tasting water and it removes all the heavy metals and increases the pH level all that combined is a fantastic item for a consumer to buy.

I highly recommend this purchase and buying one for my son’s birthday.

At the beginning, I was a little sceptical about the change in tap water quality, despite the many good ratings. After using the bottle for a few weeks, however, I can only agree with these opinions.

The tap water, which is already quite calciferous in our country and which I had rather reluctantly drunk before, is now on my daily drinking schedule and replaces purchased mineral water. The product is really great, both the functionality and the look.

The bottle is tight and can also be easily cleaned with a bottle brush. I can only recommend that you put on the bottle, because there is no more practical and permanently cheaper way to get good water.

The principle of the bottle, the “clou” with the cleaning charcoal and the processing is all very beautiful. There is a deduction for the fact that the plastic of the bottle already had chafe marks, because it is not sufficiently protective packed.

This does not necessarily have to be due to “connox”; perhaps it is already so exposed on the way from the manufacturer. Too bad. So from the beginning it looks like a used returnable bottle.

We’ve been using the Berkey Water Filtering System for two years now and have been very happy with it’s quality of water and overall product quality. Surprisingly, this product was a big disappointment.

There are two issues we had with this portable water purifier bottle: 1) It leaks like crazy from the threaded seam where the cap is screwed onto the body, regardless of how snug and properly seated the cap was twisted on.

My wife has arthritis in her hands and twisting it as tight as possible only minimized the leak at best, while defeating its functionality in making it easy for her to refill the bottle without my help.

2) The water from our large Berkey system yields water that tastes great and consistantly remains free of any chemical or unpleasant taste. This portable system’s filtered water has a distinctly metallic and otherwise unpleasant taste; the opening of it’s larger-than-average sized plastic straw is roughly cut, which makes it uncomfortable to wrap her lips over, and requires an excess of effort in drawing water through it’s connected filter pack without squeezing the bottle–not great for someone with poor hand strength or who has arthritis AND each resulting squeeze sends spurts of water shooting out of where the cap thread meets the bottle.

All-in-all, a really big disappointment from a company we have come to trust for making a quality product.

I have not started using the bottle properly yet it’s meant for a long trip coming up. I would give the customer service a 5 star for helping with all my questions back and forth. The bottle is very light and simple to prime.

Besides using it for out and about while traveling, I need it to make water that I can dispense for making coffee/tea/smoothies etc. This is possible because the material is soft enough for me to squeeze filtered water out though it might be a tad tedious but I have not found another product (after researching for a while) which is able to meet all my needs except for this Berkey.

Overall I would recommend this product. Thanks :).

This is a great water bottle for summer, travel and all year long. I know I’m getting the most pure water possible from a brand that has great reviews and more personally from my chiropractor who has been using the Berkey system for several years.

apparently having some issues, man. I hate to say. I have left two bad reviews today, already, but they are warranted, unfortunately. Good on the bottle: This water bottle is so necessary because most big cities don’t have the correct procedures when it comes to water treatment plants.

Things are added to the water without the public’s consent. Having a Brita water bottle you can carry around with you is much healthier than just drinking straight up tap water. Bad: For some reason, mine did not include a filter.

I had to buy them separately. Also bad: When I started using it, there was a hole that let water drip out all over my face. I wouldn’t really have cared, but I had this Tervis that I had to use for years that did this to me, because someone misplaced or threw away the lining, and I was just not having that situation again.

Sorry. So, I had to buy Krazy glue somewhere else (Target did not have the right kind of super glue) and fix it myself. I didn’t return it because like I mentioned before, it is super important to have filtered water.

Just know: you will want to include Krazy super glue in your cart for this item, unless you live in a super hot climate and just enjoy water all over your face as you drink. Maybe if I lived somewhere else… ;).

I bought this water bottle to filter the water from the shared cooler at work, primarily because it tasted stagnant, likely from not being used much during the pandemic. This water bottle removed the weird taste and makes me feel a lot better about using the water cooler.

As some reviews have mentioned, you have to suck on the straw with some force in order to pull the water through the filter. It was a little annoying to get used to, but now that I’m 2 months in to using the water bottle, the straw doesn’t bother me anymore.

I haven’t had any mold issues as some reviews have mentioned. I clean all the components (except for the filter) in the dishwasher weekly. I even put the bottle on the bottom rack since it won’t fit on the top, and it’s held up just fine.

I still prefer my 1 liter Nalgene, but for situations where I can’t control the water source, the Brita water bottle makes sense. I have to refill it much more often because of it’s small size, but it’s worth it for the peace of mind.

I have purchased both the blue and pink 32oz bottles and the blue 20oz bottle for my son to have at school. I have had both 32oz bottles for about a year and never had an issue. People are mentioning mold and the mouthpiece getting gross or dirty.

This is completely on the bottle user. Anything that stays wet and has moisture will grow mold. common sense, allow it to dry. -The sucking pressure needed for water is not that bad, you get used to it.

*double check your filter tube is locked into place, my son complained he couldn’t suck water but that was because he did not lock the filter tube into place. -Wash your bottle daily, especially mouthpiece.

If for some reason you can I suggest soaking mouthpiece in soapy hot water once a week and allowing to dry out. -Let your bottle and all components dry out completely at least every two days. *My only complaint is there are no replacements for the mouth piece i myself can order.

Naturally over time it will get some discoloration even when cleaned properly. I have reached out to Brita and I am going to be receiving replacements*.

This bottle started off great! Finally able to drink clean water on the go and even refill it while out! But lately the top part of the straw has been starting to look pretty bad. There’s this off-putting blackness just inside the mouth of the straw that won’t go away no matter how many washes and how much scrubbing I do, there’s a tear in it about a quarter of the way down, and (this one is admittedly on me) I only just figured out how to separate the top straw piece from the top of the bottle and there was quite a bit of mold.

Suffice to say this has put me off drinking from it because even after cleaning everything else, there’s still the black spots right at the top. Currently looking at other water bottles since I can’t seem to just replace the top straw for this one.

tldr; Great for a few months, tore slightly, black spots that won’t go away. Worth a try, but be sure to wash it thoroughly and be extra careful while drinking, I guess? A bit more mindful than I’d like while trying to stay hydrated.

I love this water bottle! I was one of those people who would religiously buy 5 packs of plastic water bottles every pay day because I hate the way my tap water tastes. I’ve tried the filters you put on the tap itself, but honestly my water pressure is so low, it would take probably in the ballpark of 5 minutes for the slow stream to fill up this water bottle.

No one’s got time for that ish. My mom has always used a Brita pitcher, all my childhood years so when I found this Water bottle in Walmart I had to try it because I remember how awesome our water was from the Brita pitcher.

I love that the filter doesn’t need replacing for a few months, and I can def tell the Brita difference straight away. My tap water is now tasteless and refreshing. Second bonus is I have extra room where my tower of water bottles used to be in my food storage.

One happy customer here for sure. I’ll be gifting one of these to my mom as well!.

Two years ago, I my wife, mother and another family member went to Europe. Having been previously I was aware of the paucity of quality water and the cost of purchase for the same (1 to 3 Euros for a liter).

I opted to take a Seychelles water purification bottle instead. Personal experience tells me this was a very wise decision as the personal water system allowed me to drink water from every source (even the stree cister/fountains of Venice).

As a cancer survivor (excessive radiation involved) I require constant hydration, especially when eating (the salivary glands for lubricating have been compromised). I drink about 2 liters per day on an average.

I packed my water bottle before we got on the plane (no liquids allowed to be taken aboard) unpacked and filled it when we arrived. For our entire trip, the 100 gallon capacity of the filter was far more than sufficient.

I even shared with family members at times as they did not want to carry water around – not a problem for me as I attached a clip to the carry case I fit the bottle in and hooked it to my belt. Look Mom, no hands Lol.

Only bad thing, about 2/3 thru my trip I unhooked my bottle for a drink, got distracted and left it sitting on a train platform. It is now traveling through Europe somewhere without me. I had intended to take it camping with me where I could dip it in streams and lakes in the high Sierra to afford myself a consistent quality water supply while fishing.

Have to wait now for the next Seychelles bottle. We are also considering a family pitcher to use while we cruise the Great Loop starting next spring.

Initially I wasn’t a fan because the water would leak from the cap after pumping water through filter 2 x through the mouth piece (they recommend once). I had to open take out the filter from the cap and twist it in which I heard a click! The filter wasn’t clicked all the way through!.

It did seem to leak from the top ven after that. But with frequent use the bottle worked and leaking from cap stopped. Thank goodness patience makes it possible. I had high hopes for the bottle and I still do.

The surprising and shocking think is. the tap water in my area once it’s in the bottle. chemical reaction in being in contact with filter occurs because I see residue of tiny but visual white, black and clear spheres.

What the heck is in our water? My water tastes different- cleaner ! Until I save up for a heavy duty water filter that Ive been eyeing this will be my portable filter. Respect. Thank you.

If one desires to raise the pH of the water they are drinking, this water bottle evidently delivers. Having performed no pH testing on it for verification, I can only say “evidently”. I do know, though, that I had been suffering for many weeks from severe acid reflux and frequent indigestion, and that those symptoms have all but disappeared during the past month, since I began using the water bottle.

In my opinion, the bottle is over-priced. I do not know why a relatively small plastic bottle with a relatively small filter inside of it should cost as much as this one cost me. Still, buying the bottle was a lot less expensive than making an appointment to see a doctor, and paying for a monthly prescription.

In hind sight, I wonder whether it may have been wiser of me to have applied the cost of the bottle to an “under the counter” water purifying system that would raise the pH of all drinking and cooking water for all members of the family.

The water bottle is easily portable, and I take it with me wherever I go throughout the day, taking sips of water as desired. I appreciate that facts that the water bottle works well, without any leaking, and that it seems fairly indestructible.

The capacity of the water bottle is reduced, due to the space the filter inside it takesup. So, it doesn’t take very long to empty it. On the other hand, it doesn’t take long to fill it at the tap, either.

first thing you notice after purchase is the black rubber base slips off on it’s own. No deal breaker, but not a good first look. Second thing you’ll notice is the rubber piece that holds the screw on assembly is about twice as long as it needs to be (especially when you compare it to other bottles).

Third – why there are two screw on’s is beyond me, consolidate them to just one please. Also, the grey plastic part at the top that actually goes against your lips as you take a sip is quite tiny, I guess the designers were expecting babies as customers? It looks like a baby bottle nipple, lol.

Suggested improves: 1. cut the upper rubber assy in half 2. consolidate the two screw ons to just one. 3. Ditch the rubber base or incorporate it into the overall design so that it cannot come off on it’s own.

4. make the grey part that delivers liquid twice as wide. 5. redesign the bottle a tad bit wider at its base to improve tip over factor and increase capacity.

I have several ecovessels. I love the quality of the products. The insulated water bottles keep the beverages cold for a very long time. I usually have to run hot water into it to get the ice out when I wash it.

I keep several iced waters in my car on hot summer days of hiking. Every single time, the water was cold and refreshing. This bottle replaced an old ecovessels that traveled the world with me and was too dinged to properly stand.

My only complaint about this bottle is that the silver ring around it holds water waiting to drip on me when I least expect it. I have to close it tighter, which seems like an easy solution until I have to open it again and I find it’s too tight.

Other than that very minor thing (a point shy from a perfect 5 star review), ecovessels are still my favorite go-to. I would definitely buy this again.

I was on a quest for the perfect water bottle. Recently my water bottle lid broke – the second one broken from a different manufacturer. So we began the quest for the NEW perfect water bottle. Since I’m almost NEVER without a water bottle – errands, long drives, walking, hiking, biking.

As part of the over-60 crowd, my criterion were: US made if possible – or at least a US sales company; stainless steel, portable, effectively insulated (especially on hot summer days and long drives), comfy to carry, decent looking, and reasonably priced.

This bottle scores 100% on all counts – with 2 bonuses! The bottle has a very functional stainless filter to keep fruit or tea bits out of my mouth when I flavor my water, and the company is socially and environmentally responsible!.
