Sigg Hello Kitty Retro Water Bottle 20 oz water bottle

Sigg Hello Kitty Retro Water Bottle 20 oz water bottleI love Sigg bottles! This is my second one, I have had no problems with the first.

Now on the the review.

I bought this water bottle at my local target and I have to say that I''m a fan. I was drawn to it because the logo kind of looks like Hello Kitty''s giving you the finger. Upon closer inspection, it''s obiously her index finger (who knew cats had index fingers??). Lack of rude gesturse aside, I knew I had to have it!

I''m satisfied with this product so far. This was my first Sigg with the sports top. It seems pretty cool and sturdy, but I''ll wait for my first "drop test" (I''m clumsy, it''ll happen soon) to find out if it can handle roughousing.

Some may find the $20-ish price tag daunting, but if you need a high quality water bottle, get a Sigg. You won''t be disappointed.

I will say though, I''m not a fan of the creamy/tan-ish/beige backround color, but hello kitty makes up for that!

I will update my review when I find out about the durability of the sports top.

This water bottle is the cutest Hello Kitty water bottle around but the top is annoying & there are no instructions included. You flip the cap off, turn the spout then you have to wrap your lips around the spout and push with your mouth and turn the bottle almost completely upside down for the water to come out and into your mouth. Crazy. I tried taking the entire top off & drinking straight out of the bottle but you can taste the steel & paint on your lips if you do that. Not tasty. I would not have purchased if I had known about the top. But it is adorable

Reliance Products 5 Gallon Water Container

Reliance Products 5 Gallon Water ContainerI like this company [reliance] they put out some pretty decent products. That is why I am surprised that they allowed this to reach market. I am returning the three water containers that i purchased and heres why;

(1) The plastic is so thin, that when filled 3/4 of the way full with water, it appears to start to stretch the plastic. That means that this container could not be

used to transport water when full. It probably would not make it through one trip.

(2) When filled with water the spigot leaks. No matter what configuration I put the handle into, (i.e., spigot inside, spigot outside, tightening spigot, tightening cap) it leaked. When I set the container onto a chair, so that the cap was not touching the floor, a small steady drip continued to leak out of the cap. This is very bad. In a survival situation, every drop of water is precious.

(3) If water leaks out, then the container is not sealed. Your stored water can become contaminated.

This is the first "I hate it" rating for any of the products I have purchased on Amazon. I would not rely on this product at all and have no confidence in its ability to store, transport, or even dispense water. For this reason I am sending it back and will spend a little more money on something more sturdy.

This reminded me of the time tested rule: Always test a product before you need to use it especially if it is going to be used in an emergency!!!!

February 4, 2010: I bought one to try it out and compare it to another product from another company (coleman). I''ll give it a try and see what happens.

It will keep me supplied with water.

Update: I can''t recommend this product to anyone. It is way too flimsy. I can''t think of anything to use it for now. Very poor quality product. Highly NOT recommended.

UPDATE: absolutely terrible the valve twisted right off but it was never hit or misused. the container just SPLIT right open.

I ordered these for 2 reasons:

1We are going on a camping trip this summer and I have used water containers like this in the past to help with washing (dishes and hands) and they always work great. We have 3 kids and dirty hands while camping is a givin, These seem to be very sturdy and well made I have used thicker walled containers in the past but as long as you are not playing rugby with these they seem like they will last for years, I like the ability to hide the spigot inside the cap for easier transportation. No strong plastic odor and the water tastes like water not plastic or chemicals. Overall a great product.

The other reason reason I am buying these is that they offer a replacement cap kit here on Amazon in case you loose or break one.

Reliance Products Replacement Spigot Assembly for Reliance Water Containers

UPDATE 11-6-2010 I wanted to add to my review after our camping trip this June 2010. We ended up with 5 of the reliance 5 gallon containers all working perfectly and are now in storage until our next trip. At the end of our trip one container fell out of the van and landed on the spigot cap, this container started to leak from the spigot valve area the same way some other reviewers mentioned a slow steady stream from the valve not the cap, we tried everything to fix this leak, tighten the cap, tighten the spigot nothing worked so we ordered a replacement cap kit and the leak went away again a perfectly working water container. We also found out our local sporting goods store sells the Reliance containers and cap kits.

Could be made with thicker plastic which make it more sturdy.

If you were going to use this in a emegency you would be carrying this around alot and it could break.

This is a pretty good water container. The spout is reversible and when in use turns much easier than the previous model. My one complaint is that the housing of the container is kind of flimsy, not solid like some of their other models.

Vapur Flexible Water Anti-Bottle (2 Pack Set)

Vapur Flexible Water Anti-Bottle - 2 Pack SetI don''t think these are as high quality as some of the other ones I have had in the past. They do the job but one of hem leaked slightly sometimes. And the tops are different sizes which was weird.

First I have to say that when I contacted the vendor about the quality of the product, they immediately said they would give me a refund, which they did.

I thought, cool two bottles for a little more than the price of the one I had but they both leaked. At a friend''s insistence, I checked the original vapur bottle I bought and found that it was made in the US. The bottles sent to me by this vendor were made in China.

I guess you get what you pay for.

A friend of mine loves these so I bought one and on first use it leaked from the sides and ruined a bag. When I contacted the company they were far from helpful. So, you may get lucky and yours will be fine but I wasn''t and the result was costly. I can''t imagine it being worth the risk for anyone. If I could give it no stars I would.

We were very disappointed with this product. We used them on a trip to Europe and found that the top of the bottle would come loose and wouldn''t hold the water. Also the spring clip failed and we could not clip them to our belts. We only used them once. Would not recommend it.

Trudeau Cool Off Hydration Bottle

Trudeau Cool Off 24-Ounce Hydration Bottle, PurpleMy favorite water bottle yet still Disappointed!

This is my very favorite water bottle. I love the colors. I love that it is double insulated and doesn''t sweat on everything. I love that it has a straw and I love that when I''m carrying an arm load of stuff I can grab the bottle with a pinky finger and off I go.

I however HATE how easy they break! I have never had a water bottle break until I started using this kind. I am not rough on them and I don''t toss them around, but lets face it, I do live and this bottle is always within an arms reach so it does get used. Twice I have had them sitting on the ground and get knocked over and break. Not knocked over and it rolled away, I''m talking, tipped over! I have also had the inner space start filling with water and not even know the bottle had gotten bumped. Not to mention the times they have fallen a foot or two and they are done for. Don''t even bother buying one for your kids, those got broken immediately.

Trudeau, Please make these water bottles sturdier!

Honestly, I have not found a better water bottle than this one. When I had my babies, the hospital gave me an insulated water mug with a lid and straw. I loved it but it would spill it tipped over and it was too wide for car cup holders. But it was the best thing I ever found to make it easy to drink lots of water and be healthy. After a couple of years my hospital mug broke. I looked for a long time to find something similar.

The Trudeau water bottle is so good that I cannot get enough of them. They leak less water if you tip them over. They leak none if they straw is closed down under the lid. They fit in car cup holders. They look great. They don''t sweat and leave water stains on my furniture. I can put it in my purse or backpack. My ice water stays cold for hours. If I fill it with ice and water at night, it''s still cold in the morning.

I had to buy more than one because my husband and kids keep stealing mine. I will be buying extra for my friends too. Honestly, I just wish there were more colors so that each of my 6 sons could have their own color and different colors for me and for my husband.

If there is a downside, it''s that you can''t put them in the dishwasher. But I don''t really care about that since I only use them for water. I have had one break, which really surprised me because they are very durable. I guess that one hit the floor at just the right angle, because we have dropped them many times before, without them being damaged.

Buy Trudeau Cool Off Hydration Bottle Now

I''m what you might call a water bottle aficionado. I''ve bought dozens of them over the past few years. Some have lasted months, a lot of them only lasted a day, but this bottle is the only one that has lasted years!

I swear I have owned just about every type of water bottle in existence. From the flip pop open top to the squeeze. Both of which didn''t work out for me. For some reason the bottles I favor the most are the ones with straws. I honestly can''t answer why to this. It''s just my own preference. But I digress, I''m here to review this bottle. So let me tell you my experience with it.

I first found it in a local Target store. It was sitting on a shelf by itself in a section completely unrelated. I picked it up and looked it over. I was really impressed with how sturdy it felt. So I trotted off with it to the water bottle section to see how much it cost. Alas I couldn''t find another one or even a tag anywhere matching the SKU. I never-the-less decided to buy it anyways. It ended up costing me a little over $10. When I got it home I put it on a shelf in my cupboard next to a few others I''d found previously and there it stayed for about 6 months.

It was only a matter of time before I burned through all the bottles I had purchased. I get annoyed very easily. It didn''t take long before they would start leaking all over the place or no matter how much I cleaned them there would be this inner film that just looked disgusting. I kept putting off using this bottle for the stupidest reason. Just be cause it was pink. But finally one day I decided to give it a go. Can you believe that it lasted me 2 years!?

Like I said this is a solidly constructed bottle. It is made of plastic but has two layers. Both layers are very thick. The outer layer is shapely and the middle of it is covered by soft rubber that provides a great grip. There is a good amount of space between the inner plastic layer and the outer. This means virtually no condensation on the outside of the bottle. The top has the attached straw and you turn it to open and close it. This action neatly bends the straw and stores it inside the lid. I have never had the lid leak. Ever!

After 2 years of use I made the mistake of putting it in the dishwasher. The plastic on the bottle cracked and there was no saving it after that. I thought I had lost my bottle for good but then I found it here on Amazon and in purple, my favorite color! I''ve been using it everyday these past 3 months and I couldn''t be happier.

I can''t find anything negative to say about this bottle. But I can provide some recommendations. First off when they tell you not to put it in the dishwasher they aren''t kidding. Second, be diligent about keeping the inside of the lid clean. It can build up gunk very easily. I did put the lid in the dishwasher and it never had any problems and cleaned it rather well. That about covers it.

I''m actually thinking about buying a few more of these so I have extras just in case. Who knows how long they''ll keep making them.

I had the "Cool Down" version of this water bottle for about two years and found it to be very durable and rugged. I dropped it a lot before it finally broke. When I went to purchase a new one, I went with this new style. DON''T. I purchased this bottle back in October and the first time I used it, the outside was covered in condensation even though the double wall was supposed to stop that from happening. I contacted Trudeau and was able to return the product and receive a replacement that worked great for two weeks until I dropped it ONE time on the carpet in my office. Then it basically shattered at the bottom, cracked at the top and became useless. I''ve contacted Trudeau to see if they will replace the bottle again, preferably with the "Cool Down" bottle as that seems to be a superior product.

Ultimate Direction 26oz Classic Bottle

Ultimate Direction Classic 26-Ounce Bottle, GraniteI''ve used this Ultimate Direction water bottle since the early 90s. They don''t leak, which is critical for me since I always forget to take the bottles out of my bike''s cages when I shove the bike into the back of my car. The valve is easy to open with your teeth, unlike the small, circular valves made of rubber on some types of bottles. The top has a ring on it: very handy when I yank by bottle out of the cage on a long bike ride. Finally, it has a wide top which makes it easier to fill with ice, and of course clean. I''ve got several of these, both large and small, and the tops are all interchangable so no more hunting for the right top to the right bottle. One note: UD now makes a new valve system called a Kicker Valve (it''s red in color). I''m not a big fan because you have to squeeze so hard to make the water come out, so although it is a good leak-proofed bottle it''s not as good as the "old" Classic Bottle IMHO.

I received this 26-ounce bottle few weeks ago. Ultimate Direction Classic Bottle

Pros: The bottle design is so attractive.

Cons: Awful smells from inside of the bottle.

After received this bottle, I started to fight this smell. It is worst plastic container smell. It combines normal plastic smell and some strong disgusting smells. I soaked it with white vinegar solution (half water half vinegar)for 2 hours. The smell came back right after the bottle was dry. And then, I used baking soda, smell is still same. After that. I have used dish washing detergent and bake soda for overnight. The smell won''t go away. Now, I have opened the lid for about 20 days. This seems to do nothing. This bottle is useless to me.

The labels come attached with the bottle printed "Made in Philippines" and the bottom of the bottle is stamped "Made in Korea". There are few misspelling in the instruction where "valve" spelled as "value".

Final thought, I bought a Thermos Intak Hydration Bottle with Meter, Smoke at same time. It uses Tritan which doesn''t smell at all. It is time to shift to a better bottle material now.
