Design for Living Stackable Tritan Water Bottle

To me, there are no cons for this water bottle. I didn''t buy it off Amazon.com but found a few clearanced by Target recently in my area. The pros for me are:

1. Holds 32 oz. I drink 10-12 8 oz cups of water a day at a school and I don''t have good tasting water close to my work location. One bottle will last me for 4 hours.

2 Nice shape. It doesn''t bow out like a regular plastic water bottle so it fits better in my daily tote for work. You can also lay it down on its side in the refrigerator and stack them on top of each other.

3. Wide mouth with no straw means easy cleaning and the ability to put ice cubes in it. Also easy to remove cap.

I don''t care there aren''t any measuring lines on this bottle. If I drink 10 oz one hour and only 6 the next, it doesn''t make a difference to me.

I have been looking for a larger water bottle. I drink about two gallons a day so I need a larger bottle unless I want to have to refill every hour. This one is great. I was surprised at the lightness of the bottle. I figured the plastic was too thin to be sturdy but have been pleasantly surprised so far. I love the cap, which is easy to open and close, and while it doesn''t thread on, seems to be safe to throw in a bag and not worry about it spilling open. The mouth is wide enough to add ice in easily (large rectangular cubes may be harder than ice maker cubes). Overall I''m very happy with this purchase and am considering buying more.

I''ve gotten many compliments on this bottle (Blue color). People are amazed at the design since it''s so unconventional. I also like the fact that the blue hue is reflected in the water since the cap and the bottom are both blue. The only negative would be that it''s harder to grip than a traditional camelbak or nalgene bottle. I''ve dropped this a couple of times because you have to hold it by its body, whereas the other two bottles you could hold it by the loop. Nevertheless, buy this product.

Big size, no leakage, BPA free, easy clean, what else you want for a everyday water bottle? Good choice, Love it!

The unique cap design has never leaked on me. You screw the cap on but it''s held in with rubber tension. This is a very nice bottle to keep your water on you. The opening is large enough to get big gulps and also to clean with a bottle brush (even the cap).

I love it.

M-Wave Alloy Water Bottle Cage

Several areas on the cage were so poorly painted that the bare metal underneath was showing. This was overpriced in my opinion, in light of the very poor paint job.

This cage is nicely formed and is large enough to hold larger diameter bottles without allowing slim ones to slip out. It fit the attachment holes perfectly on my Fuji road bike. I do ride only on streets and paved paths so I can''t vouch for it''s security on rougher surfaces. I bought it on Amazon and got expeditious service. I recommend this product.

Reliance Products Aqua-Tainer 4 Gallon Rigid Water Container

I do not have this product, but was looking for this information and found it on another website, so I thought I''d share it here!

Reliance Aqua-Tainer dimensions are as follows:

4 gallon 11 in. long x 11 in. wide x 10 5/8 in. high

7 gallon 12 in. Long X 11 1/2 in. Wide X 16 in. High

I used this for a several road trips in the back of the car for camping. The first 2-3 trips it held up OK. Last time we went offroading the vibrations were a little more and it started leaking around the cap / spigot area. Leaking is pretty serious when the unit is standing up (i.e. when the spigot is positioned to be ready for use). It is possible to keep it lying as shown on the product photos here so water does not leak, but that defeats the purpose of setting it up as a portable camping water faucet.

Not recommended for travel or camping. May be OK for use within the home.

The air vent cap has apparently been redesigned, since it is billed as "new and improved," but it''s not as good as it should be. The weak link is the plastic tether that is meant to prevent loss of the cap. That tether arrived already snapped on the first one of these I bought. Amazon sent me a second, and it had the exact same problem. The air vent itself was also a bit crooked on both samples. But I ended up keeping the second one because I decided that the tether is not essential. You can loosen the cap a half turn to let air in and the cap will still stay securely on the threads. (This might not be acceptable depending on how careful your users will be and how high the stakes are for your application--I''m just using this for car camping.) It is also possible to buy a replacement spigot and vent cap for this. Presumably if you did that, you could get one with an unbroken tether, since the piece would not be under as much stress if it were not actually in use, though I still wonder how long it would stay intact. A couple of other things to know: I found that the caps do seal okay, with no leaks, and this is true for the spigot side whether it''s in storage or active position. I was also able to position the spigot straight down and still had no leaks (some other reviews mention the need to settle for a cockeyed spigot). I accomplished this by just snugging the spigot into the cap and then going one full turn more. It feels like you are cranking pretty hard when you do this, but I don''t see any signs of undue stress. It is admittedly a little fiddly to get everything set so that you are not leaking, but now that I''ve fiddled at home and know this thing''s quirks I don''t foresee any problems in the field. When the reversible spigot is in storage position, its inside is exposed to the elements through the hole in the cap, but I still like having the spigot out of harm''s way. You can put a sandwich bag over the hole in the cap and secure it with a rubber band if you are concerned. (By the way, when it comes new, there is an adhesive sticker over this hole to keep out dirt, but you have to remove that sticker the first time you install the spigot.) There are volume markings on the sides (gallons on one side and liters on the other), but it''s not that easy to see the water inside, depending on the lighting. If you shine a flashlight at the wall of the tank on one side and look at the other, then the system works perfectly. The last 3/4 of a gallon or so won''t come out through the spigot without tipping the container. The plastic is not quite as rigid as I thought it would be, but it seems fairly durable. I do not notice any unpleasant taste in the water at all after four days in the tank at room temperature. I didn''t do anything special when I got it to clean it--just gave it a rinse with plain water. It is PBA free. All that I''ve said is based on having this in the house for four days, with a full 4 gallons in it, leaving it mainly on a counter top, positioned for use--I haven''t actually taken it on a trip yet. So apart from the tether for the vent cap--and actually even taking that into consideration--this was the best container I could find of its type. I''d still like to see Reliance try again with that vent cap, but this seems like a good choice, at least for family car camping.

I ordered 3 of these and 2 of them leaked the very first time I tested them. They both leaked from the main cap/spigot. I tried making them tighter, making them looser. It didn''t matter. Only 1 out of 3 was leak-free. I hate using disposable plastic water jugs for our camping trips and I really wanted to like these, but 2 out of 3 failing means I will never try them again.

I love this small container. The larger ones are too heavy to carry around for very long. This is a good size for me. I use it for washing off my feet and my wetsuit after surfing.

Ibera Bike Hothead Thermal Bottle IB-WB2 Water Bottle Save 57% off

Tired of having my beverage freeze on my cold weather Pittsburgh bicycle commutes, the Hothead Thermal Bottle by Ibera (IB-WB2) is just what I was looking for. So I bought one. The honeymoon was great. It features a pop up head and a little cup. The Hothead Thermal Bottle was heaven on earth until a month or two passed and her true personality was revealed. The pop up top turned itself into a POP OFF top. I wrote to the company asking for help. I even included a photo of the busted top. Ibera went into turtle mode and is hunkering in the bunker. If you care to spend $30 or more on this product don''t say you haven''t been warned about quality and customer service.

Ciao,

Very good the insulation properties, stay hot (or cold) for hours!!) and the type of fixing to the bike.

Construction quality, though, is rather poor (relative to the cost). The glued bootom cover felt off after about 1month of use.

Vapur Element 1L Collapsible Water Bottle Save 27% off

This bottle has had active use for over 5 months now without any problems at all. No Leaks and no spills. My kids find it easier to drink from than the platypus bottle I have and you don''t have to worry about sharing as you don''t need to touch the nozzle.

I have this and the platypus and I far prefer the vapur for trips.

I purchased my first Vapur soft bottle at Target, overcharged in price but was impressed by the quality for a 16oz water bag. This version is the big daddy and holds enough water for me to get through six hours of baccalaureate-level classes.

Positives:

Great for motorcyclists, conforms to the inside of the bag.

Once empty, can be stored in jacket pockets or other small locations.

The head always ends up in the same direction, never have to worry about grabbing the bag in a weird direction.

The mouth is perfect for the "thirsty" individual, you don''t need to squeeze or had pressure to get the perfect water-flow. (But you can if your that desperate for water.)

Negatives:

The D-Ring doesn''t let the bottle form to your hip, so it''s not great for sport events or walking around in public.

Edges are a bit sharp, not enough to paper-cut, but definitely can be felt.

It''s height means it will fold over on itself when 2/3rds empty and standing. Not much of an issue if you don''t mind a limp bag.

I was looking for a water bottle that could be used both bedside and on the go, this fills the gap and has fully supplanted its use as my main vessel for drinking water.

Love these water bottles in general, but the design of the element line are brilliant. The wide mouth lets you fill the bottle with ice, which is fantastic for working out or just keeping your water cold for a long time (I think you can freeze water in it too, but I find that unnecessary when you can just fill it to the top with ice). The 1L size makes it last and the cool bonus is that if it''s filled with ice you can use it to put against your skin to cool off (which again is awesome if you''re working out). It sweats a bit with ice in it, so be careful not to leave it somewhere you could slip on the droplets, but that probably goes without saying :)

Bought a couple of the 0.7 l bottles at a bookstore while traveling. I really like the collapsible feature it''s easy to find a place to put it. Even in the pocket in the truck door. Removable cap makes it easy to fill. I think the cap is the best feature you can open one-handed without biting on it. I''m getting more of them from Amazon.

When I fly, I like to drink water. But, I hate to spend the money to buy water (its just water, folks!) once I am through security. In the past, have carried a rigid water bottle to fill at a water fountain, but that takes up space in my carry on. This doesn''t! It also doesn''t leak, and has a really handy drinking valve. The plastic and seams appear to be both flexible and durable. I have no concerns about storing this right next to electronics (although I usually separate them, just out of principle.)

zIn short, if I were smart enough to design a collapsible drinking bottle, it would look and work a lot like this.

Outdoor Products 1 Litre Frosted Tritan BPA-Free Water Bottle

Always loved Nalgene but when I found out that Nalgene tests on animals, I looked for an alternative. This is it! One liter size, does not leak, transparent to see liquid, nice frosted blue color which I find preferable to drink water out of, includes a removable sipper/ flow controller-it sits inside the mouth opening and covers most of it, but not all of it (like a disposable coffee cup lid). This prevents spilling the drink all over yourself which I think is easy to do with a wide-mouth cup. I actually like this better than Nalgene now for the frosted blue finish, the curved design, and the mouth opening, and knowing that I''m not supporting a company that tests on animals.

Love how much water this holds, the color and the ease of opening it. The only thing I don''t like is the removable part under the cap that I almost left at a restaurant after filling it up. However, need to remove it to fill with water and ice so just needed to get used to having another item to put back.

this water bottle is durable, inexpensive and doesn''t have a weird plasticy smell or taste. the nalgene inserts that make the opening triangular to reduce spilling fit, too. I have had this bottle several years, and the frosted parts have worn a bit on bottom, but the lid is still fastened and I use it daily! Lots of wear and tear and it''s in great condition :-) Highly recommend!

Good for holding a lot of water and "spill cap" is nice! I work at a hospital and I need to bring a lot of water for me to drink over my shift and this is nice, pretty, and the spill cap is nice for when you are in a hurry to grab and drink and prevents spashing all over you. :)

Camelbak Eddy Stainless Bottle Save 20% off

I needed a water bottle for work, so I did a search trying to find a reliable large sized bottle that would last for years on end. I found this bottle on the CamelBak website, and the cheapest price for this particular model was found here on Amazon.

It''s stainless steel and it holds 700ml of liquid. It''s hand wash only, not suitable for hot liquids, and not good for the microwave. All of these things are fine with me. The only thing you should be prepared for is that this thing sweats (condensation) all over the place. It''s not ideal for the work area because of this.

Otherwise, this is a great bottle. Excellent for cyclists, sturdy construction and no leaks (other than the condensation). Not recommended solely for work use. There''s a different bottle by CamelBak, which does not sweat, but only holds 500ml. As I have to walk to a very distant water refill spot, I need that extra 200ml. All in all, I still feel that this was a good purchase. The quality is excellent, and there''s a lifetime guarantee on the bottle as well.

good bye plastic water bottles. this water bottle is the perfect size and shape to take wherever you need it to

**NOTE: My problem has been solved! I''m leaving this up here (with a revised star rating) in case it happens to others. If the bottle creates a vacuum inside, jam the straw up further. You might have to use some decent pressure to get it up push up. This solved the issue for me.**

Original Post: Maybe it''s just me. Other reviews for this bottle are fantastic. I have a Camelbak Groove at work and love it, and so decided to get an Eddy for home use. Although the bite valve is awesome, because there is no air hole, when you go to drink a vacuum is created in the bottle. Thus, nothing comes out. I''m shocked that this is an issue. I have to unscrew the lid to get anything up, I then leave it unscrewed, I knock it over...you see where this is going. I may as well just use a cup.

This bottle also has a lot of condensation, but that doesn''t bother me for my purposes. The lack of function does.

Design For Living 25-Ounce Stainless Steel Water Bottle Fliptop Clip

Looks nice, but upon inspection, Poor Quality, Made in China, you should look for a better made item that might last longer.

Mine came Pre-Scratched for the Convienence of the Consumer!

Actually, I love this bottle. I own three of them. I use it for hiking and at the gym. I don''t have any difficulty drinking from it.

Pros: The big one for me is that it''s leakproof, unlike most pop-tops. Also, it holds a lot, keeps fluids cool, and it is very sturdy. Comes in lots of great colors. In addition to the ones sold here, these bottles also come in lime green and cobalt blue. Stainless steel, so no need to worry about BPA.

Cons: Heavy (mostly due to the fact that it is a larger capacity bottle). Tendency to scratch.

This are good,spill proof, drink holders. They can be a little hrd to open but I think that goes with the spill proof thing. The clip is useless because if you attached the water bottles to your belt or back pack they would swing around and get on your nerves. These were advertised to fit in most vehicle drink holders. If you have a newer chevy they will not fit proprly in the drink holders in the doors. Too loose. All in all I do like them.

Nalgene Tritan Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle

Nalgene BPA Free Tritan Wide Mouth Water Bottle, 32 Oz, Gray with Black Lid

You can''t go wrong with this. When I was in college, my roommate and I decided to test the structural integrity of a Nalgene. We were, for reasons which I cannot fully reconstruct, irritated at the structural perfection of the thing. Didn''t matter what one did to it, it would not break. We were tired of having our flaws and inadequacies sneered at by this inanimate plastic thing, so perfect at it''s job, so faithful, so unpossessed of anything even approaching a flaw. Nothing, we reasoned, has any business being perfect. So, we chucked my full Nalgene out of a third-floor window. It landed on concrete with a terrific SMACK!, which startled the hell out of this annoying girl who just happened to be standing close by, and bounced about five feet in the air before coming to rest, entirely unscathed. People seemed shocked, but we were not even a bit surprised. This thing is so solid, it''s really kind of incredible. Like Chase Utley, the Godfather, the Hope diamond, Abbey Road, the chicken nugget, I cannot imagine an improvement. It''s just so... perfect. If you''re not totally thrilled with one of these, I don''t know what to tell you. It''s just that good.

I''ve been using this a few weeks so far, and it seems very sturdy. I attach it to my bag with a carabiner and have seen no signs of breakage while hiking with the bottle. I love that the bottle doesn''t leak, and it''s a BPA-free product (good for me, good for the environment). Plus, I have not noticed any unusual smell/taste while drinking from the bottle (unlike most reusable plastic bottles), but I have not tried hot beverages in it yet. The wide-mouth IS very convenient for ice cubes and cleaning. Highly recommended!

I love my nalgene for these reasons:

-Easy to clean

-Holds a ton of ice

-Freezable / Microwaveable

-Recyclable

-Made in the USA

-Almost indestructible.

What else would I need in a water bottle? I guess if you wanted it to fit in a car cupholder, get one of the smaller models. I just throw it on the passenger seat and love that the bottle holds a liter of water.

I''ve used Nalgene brand water bottles for about 10 years now and I''ve never had any complaints. The bottles are sturdy (I sure have dropped mine a lot!) and they are easy to clean in the dishwasher. However, I was recently concerned when the potential dangers of BPA were discussed in the news. I had decided to replace my trusty Nalgene with a stainless steel bottle when I saw that Nalgene now made a BPA-free bottle.

The BPA version is just like the old Nalgene, but safer. No complaints other than the fact that all of the different sizes and shapes of bottles that Nalgene used to offer are not available in the BPA-free versions. I''m sure they''re coming--but this bottle will do for now.

I love my Nalgene! I have never put hot liquids in mine, but I love that it''s easy to put lots of ice in it, and with the little sipper accessory you can buy it''s fantastic b/c the ''ice dam'' never breaks & you can drink it while you''re driving and not worry about getting wet. I''ve had mine for 2 years now & still using the same 1! I have a spare, just incase this one breaks or gets lost. I find them VERY sturdy b/c I''ve droped mine a bunch of times & it''s never cracked. It''s fallen off the top of the car, out of the car, my 4 year old has dropped it. I think it''s virtually indestructable. My sister has the Sigg bottle & it''s dented in several areas (whatcha expect from alumunm?) Anyway I like my Nalgene better than her Sigg, and mine was less than 1/2 the price of hers!
