I, for one, love drinking water and have no problems drinking 2+ liters a day. But I wanted to get a water bottle that 1) didn't give water a strange flavour, 2) was easy to take around, 3) was easy to wash and leave to air dry, and 4) was pretty. Mission accomplished.
I bought the 1 liter pink one, which is oh-so-pretty and exactly as in the pictures.
Those requirements are SO difficult to find, so I've bought a few bottles before and failed. My main issue is always the flavour, ideally I like water that is kept in glass, as it gives it the best flavour, but most glass bottles are covered in some sort of silicon or plastic which gives them a bad odour or taste. The metal ones make water taste like metal. If you are a super taster (google the term!), then you will know what I'm talking about.
This one ticks all the boxes. The plastic does not flavour the water at all, which is amazing. It has a really nice feel to it, it's very soft and kind of silky, really lovely. The see-through the pink shade is just so pretty.
I initially removed the strap but ended up putting it back on as it's really handy. However I do not like the material of the strap, and that loses it half a star.
The other half a star is lost because it has the time markings. As I said in my case drinking enough is not an issue, if anything the time marks show me that I'm like 1 hour ahead of the goal time, so I wish it did not have the time marks. I can see how they are useful for others, and, since they are minimal, I bought it anyway because it was BY FAR the prettiest bottle I could find.
Now, the spout. Lots of reviews, and also the seller, mention how good the spout is and the rapid water flow. I read that and I thought it was a bit weird??? but once you use it you realise it's true, you can tell the spout is engineered to perfection, and you get through the perfect amount of water, as in, a lot, but not too much. So funny how it does make a difference.
I've removed the filter as I'm not going to use it, but it looks very well made. I haven't used the cover either, but again, I can see it would help to keep your drink cold in the summer.
As I said above, I'd like a strap made of a different material, and a version without the time marks, and that's why I only give it 4 starts. But other than that, I love it. The quality of the spout and the plastic, the lack of smells, and the prettyness of it, make it worth the price.
Finally, even the box is so so so pretty, which is a nice touch, and you feel you paid for a good quality product.
