Fit & Fresh Kid''s Squeezable Water Bottler (14-Ounce Capacity) Save 20% off
I ordered two of these water bottles for my sons for stockin stuffers. The one works great, the other the spout was always stuck and my son, 4, could never open it. I wish I could give it 2.5 because I love the working one but wish the other one had worked as well.
I love the design, the perfect softness for kids of the squeezable part, the size and the fact that you can clean it with a bottle brush. I loved it so much that I ordered a second one almost as soon as I got the first one.
But my 2 yo daughter would not drink from it anymore. At first she loved it because it was new, but then she started refusing to drink from it. So I tried the water and they tasted like plastic. I tried washing it with hot water by hand and dishwasher but nothing helped.

I''m not crazy about the plastic but if this gets lost I''m not going to sweat it either.They''re working well right now. I just ordered another two in case one of the boys loses theirs.

I''ve bought about 7 of these in the last year or so. They are so fun and easy to hold, easy to drink out of and easy to stow or take to school. My daughter takes these to school with water inside. I''m not crazy about them being made out of plastic, but her school does not allow glass and I''m tired of her loosing too many stainless steel bottles. They''re the perfect size for a childwhen filled with liquid, it''s not too heavy for a little hand to hold like some of the other water bottles out there.Save 20% off

Nalgene Wide Mouth Rectangular Bottle
I love this bottle. It well made and I love the thickness of bottle. I love the assurance that this bottle won''t break or leak. The cap is one of those flimsy kind that will break if you tighten it too tighly. I will be ordering more of these kind of bottles in the future. The only cons someone may find with this product is that it isn''t as flexible as those "approved for airline travel" and they are also heavier than the ones purchased for air travel.
Sportline HydraCoach Intelligent Water Bottle Save 15% off
My experience:The Hydracoach is a great concept, but I don''t think it''s a very reliable piece of equipment. When you receive it you go through a very simple programming process, similar to setting a watch. You enter in your weight, the time and date, and your desired water intake per day. Then you start it and as you drink it''ll track your progress towards your goal. Within the first two days I noticed that the LED would randomly reset itself...this would require me to go through the programming process again, as well as completely lose track of my water intake, thus entirely defeating the purpose and rendering it useless. I just reprogrammed it a few times and endured, but it continued to do this so I followed the return proceedure and shipped it back to the company at a cost of $7. Their return policy indicates that they pay for S&H on returns if it''s for a defective product, however I was never reimbursed. They did send me a replacement within a week or so and it''s been more stable than the original, but not without problems. The LED reset again within a month and the "low battery" icon started flashing. I found myself really disatisfied with the product at this point...considering that the LED is as simple as a wrist watch, and offers no backlight, the battery should last for at least a year or more. I had to replace the battery which cost about $3. The Hydracoach worked pretty reliably for about 4 months and just recently reset itself again with the "low battery" icon. I know this can''t be the battery, so I re-programmed it and it''s continued to work well since. I''ve come to the conclusion that this random reset is just an issue with the software and will just have to be put up with once in a while.
So here is the BAD:
$29.99 for the product, $7 to ship the return, and $3 to replace the battery...I just paid $40 for a freaking water bottle. The product has ultimately been more of an inconvenience than it''s worth, and I think it''s way overpriced.
The 22 oz. size, although convenient to hold and carry, is rather small for someone who has a hydration goal. You will easily chug a full one of these and it will therefore require several refills through the day to reach your goal.
If the lid is screwed on too snug it will make sipping from the bottle nearly impossible. This isn''t a negative as much as a note. It took me a while to figure out, but don''t tighten the lid all the way in order to get maximum water flow.
The software is unstable and will randomly crash which renders this as good as a plain plastic water bottle from time to time.
Overall: It''s simply not worth the money. If you can muster just a little extra motivation you can keep track of the amout of water you drink throughout the day without this, and honestly all you really need to do is approximate.
Now the GOOD:
+ I will say that when this was working properly it was really helpful in meeting my hydration goals.
+ Being able to see your water intake percentage throughout the day is really great for keeping you motivated and helping you pace your water intake.
+ I can see where it would be nice for someone who is on a very strict diet or has a required water intake due to doctor''s orders, or a medical condition.
We have tried cajoling, rewards, encouragement, exhortation and rebuking to get her drink more water. Not happening.
I bought her one of these for Christmas. Now it''s a game to see she how much of her daily water that she drinks. Way cool!
I bought one for my daughter and myself. Now it''s a game with competition. Even better. Every day she is trying to beat us and in the process drinking the proper amount of water. (If you want some info on water consumption order the book "Your Body''s many cries for Water" here at Amazon. It will blow your mind.)
I can''t recommend this highly enough. It is an answer to prayer.

My wife and I have had our HydraCoach water bottles for a couple of years now. It is a great idea, but due to the nature of how you have to drink and the overall inaccuracy of the product, it needs a lot of improvement and the hassle of using it outweighs the benefits. You need to train yourself before you can use this. You have to suck through the top a certain way and it takes a lot of effort. Essentially, you are sucking water through a small turbine that spins and then through a one-way valve. That creates quite a bit of resistance that you have to overcome by sucking harder than is comfortable. If you take small sips all the time, the turbine won''t spin enough and won''t register enough water flow and will be very inaccurate. If you take large sips and drink a lot of water in a short amount of time it will be relatively accurate. The idea of a turbine to measure water flow seems rudimentary at best. Based on the technology out there for measuring liquid flow rates you''d think there would be a much better option, albeit I suppose this is the cheapest.Also, you MUST take the top apart and clean the turbine device often or it will clog up with gunk and eventually stop spinning (and stop registering flow). This is especially true if you don''t use filtered water or you put sugary sports drinks in it, which is not recommended. I just soak everything in a scalding hot 50/50 vinegar/water mixture, the same way you clean the scale out of the inside of a coffee maker. This is especially true if you don''t use filtered water or you put sugary sports drinks in it, which is not recommended.
Another thing that really bugs me is the LCD screen. When the stopwatch timer is stopped or paused, the LCD should go blank after a few minutes like modern day cell phones. The LCD screen stays on permanently until the battery dies and of course drains the battery that much faster. If you leave the timer running all the time it will also drain the battery much faster, so I always start it before I drink, then stop it right after, which is also inconvenient.
Overall, the idea of the product is great, but it needs a LOT of refinement for it to work well enough to where it isn''t so inconvenient that it''s not worth using.

I LOVE my hydracoach and I do not go anywhere without it. I even pack it in my suitcase for travels!I saw a few negative reviews on this product and thought I would add my own opinion.
First off, I have not had a problem with the battery at all. I bought this water bottle about 10 months ago and it came with a battery in it. I have not had to replace the battery even once. In any event, the battery that it does use sells at my local Dollar Store at a price of two batteries for $1 so it''s really cheap to replace the battery.
Yes, you need a little screw driver to unscrew the cap to insert and take out the battery but what other design could the company come up with to securely hold a battery in place and prevent water from going in the battery compartment? I also bought the little screwdriver set from my local dollar store so you don''t need anything expensive to open the battery compartment. It''s probably the same screwdriver you use to tighten the hinge in your eyeglasses if you have one.
As well, I don''t think tightening the lid on the bottle makes it more difficult to suck out the water as one reviewer had said they did. It''s easy to assemble and take apart if needed for cleaning.
I know some people may not like that it only holds 22 oz or about 500 mL, but that''s the same as any regular water bottle. Your hydration goal could be 2-3 L depending on your weight so yes, you will have to refill the thing if you want to reach your goal. But honestly, do you really expect a company to sell a water bottle holding 2-3 L? That would be quite heavy to lug around in my opinion.
The only problem I had was that at one point it was not registering my usage. The took apart the tubing and blew into the tubing as well as washed it out. That did the trick and it was working again.
I can honestly say it makes me very aware of how much water I am drinking and this is really important for health reasons. I was definitely not drinking enough water prior to this purchase and it''s one of the best things I have bought for myself in the past year. Every friend I have given this water bottle to has been thrilled with it. It makes a great gift.

We use these for attaching water bottles to our saddles for horse back riding. They are super easy to use and very reliable, we''ve never had one break. I highly recommend them.
By the way, the Carabiner was a little big for my use (the bottles I used on vacation were large, and hit a little low on my leg, but I was able to easily replace the clip with a smaller carabiner.) I use it while gardening as well. Also, there is a small metal ring attached to the nylon that can be used to hold keys. I attached a compass to my set using the key ring. Recommended, a good deal, arrived quickly!

Insulated Beverage Container/Water Cooler (Orange) Save 59% off
Converted this into a mash tun to use in the brewing of beer. It''s been used to hold boiling or hot water and has held up well. Slight warping from the heat but not very much. I find it loses around 3-5 degrees F for a one hour mash. It''s a little on the small side but big enough.
But the problem is with the spigot design. When the rubber "cover" gives out, you''ve got a leaker. What a bone-head design. I''m going to seal up the spigot hole as I don''t use this cooler for water anymore. It was used for that for a couple of years, then became my camping/fishing/truck cooler. Now it is side-lined until I repair (permanently) the leak.
I''ll buy Igloo the next time i want one of these type coolers-especially if I want to depend on it as a water cooler. But also note that I''m very hard on coolers.
Buy Insulated Beverage Container/Water Cooler (Orange) Now
I purchased three Rubbermaid 5 gallon water coolers for use with our running group. We use them every weekend and haul them all over the place filled with water and/or sports drink. My only complaint is the lids will leak even if they are screwed down correctly and tight if they fall over. If you don''t put the lids on right, they will also leak while hauling them about as the liquid splashes inside the container. The lids sometimes take a time or two to screw on correctly as the threads don''t always line up correctly the first time. Insulation is ok, about what you''d expect from a cooler like this. All in all, very pleased with the product as it has held up well over the last year of being hauled all over the place. One last thought, make sure you unscrew the lid slightly when you''re ready to use as it will sometimes create a vacuum which will keep the spigot from flowing.Read Best Reviews of Insulated Beverage Container/Water Cooler (Orange) Here

Tough-1 Nylon Water Bottle / Gear Carrier Saddle Bag (Brown)
This is a great saddlebag!! It fits great on the back of my western saddle, and I use twine to tie it on. On the back of the saddlebag there are 2 metal loops that I use to tie it on. I also use the 2 loops farther down on the bag and tie them to where the back cinch on a western saddle would go. I have taken many trail rides with this saddlebag and i love it! So far, it has been very durable and ive had it for about 4 months.If it is secured well to the saddle, u can go any speed with it on and it doesnt bounce around too much. Ive even galloped with it on. I have never had one problem with it. This saddlebag it great for any trail rider.

Nalgene 20-Ounce Multidrink Water Bottle Save 7% off
My three kids picked this water bottle for their lunch boxes this year. They love the water bottle, however, two of the three bottles have slightly broken after one month of use. The lock button broke off on one of them. My son can still use it, but I worry that it will leak, however, I haven''t had a backpack full of water yet. The hole that leads to the straw on my other son''s bottle won''t open up. Therefore, when he tries to use the straw nothing comes up. My son has to unscrew the top to drink. This causes fighting between my boys no one wants the one with the broken straw.I''m going to return the two broken ones and get replacements. If they break again, I won''t buy them again.
When this lid is functioning properly it''s amazingly handy. The one I received though had a crack where the straw meets the lid. I put a customer photo up of the failed lid. Nalgene is sending me another lid, but I''m left wondering how long it will last.
The plastic surrounding the straw is fairly thin and the first lid didn''t survive having the straw inserted a single time at the factory. How many times will I be able to insert the straw into a replacement of the same design before it fails as well?
Only time will tell. When I''ve had the replacement lid for a little while, I''ll update this review one way or the other...
I got my replacement cap really quickly. 5 days after sending the photo of the broken cap to Nalgene. Quick customer service. I still haven''t received an answer on how long the warranty is on these. Answering that question has been dodged twice so far...
I sent a third, entirely separate inquiry on the "guarantee" of the lid 2 weeks ago and received no response.
Buy Nalgene 20-Ounce Multidrink Water Bottle Now
I do professional voiceover work and need a need a dependable water bottle to take into the sound booth. It has proven so handy that I''ve had many other voiceover people ask me about it. I recently bought a 2nd one for my lovely wife who takes hers to her dental hygiene job where she spends hours on her feet and needs a spill-proof bottle that has quick easy drinking access for those precious few times when she can take a drink.Pros:
* Durable
* "Sippy straw" is great when I''m in the booth or driving so I don''t have to up-end the entire bottle to take a drink.
* Spill proof when closed.
* Can refill the bottle through the small cap opening and not have to remove the entire lid. Very handy at drinking fountains.
Cons:
* Small. 20oz isn''t enough at times. They need to make a bigger version
* Can leak through the straw when open if you don''t know the trick, which is to loosen the the other small cap to let air flow through, that way air doesn''t get compressed and force water out the straw. Otherwise, it works reall really well.
In short the pros far outweigh the cons. I''m buying a couple more for my two beautiful daughters because they''re super handy on road trips.

I was really depressed when I opened the cupboard the other day to find my wife and my bottles had both cracked on the top part of the lid. After checking reviews here, it sounds like I''m not alone. If you purchase this bottle, you will undoubtably have the same problem as it doesn''t break or crack because of abuse but rather it''s a faulty design. A shame too, because I think it looks cool and I liked having the sip come out the front so I don''t have to throw my head back when on the exercise bike.At any rate I would really encourage everyone not to purchase this bottle as it''s lid is in fact defective and I have yet to get any response from the Nalgene website as to what I''m supposed to do to remedy their defect. Pretty t''ed off about it too because I live in Japan and these things run near 20 bucks a piece here!
