EcoUsable Ech2o 25 oz Stainless Steel Filtered Bottle

I was so excited in anticipation when I ordered this item. However, it quickly failed to live up to my expectations.

First, the water that comes through the filter tastes worse coming out than it did when it went in! Sure, the chlorine smell is gone but the water tastes very salty or something. Also, it''s very difficult to suck the water through the actual filter and nearly impossible for my small child. I wanted to stop carrying around plastic sports bottles all day and switch to this but not so fast. While it''s a great idea it''s another over-priced, over-hyped, disappointing paper weight that makes me feel foolish every time I look at it because I spent that much on a stupid water bottle!
