How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsMade by some smart people. Very smart. The best people.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2018
Who would've thought a water bottle could be so amazing? I don't mean this sarcastically - there is a level of thought and care in the design of the bottle which is evident immediately, and becomes more evident upon regular use.

For instance - the cap. Something that screws on with a hole in it to drink from? Right, but no. The quality is beautiful and sturdy, the secondary hole to drink more smoothly is a bonus, the flip cover - which covers both the drinking hole and the air hole nicely - is well-fitting and never had a drop leak out, and as if that wasn't enough, it screws in at the perfect place each time, so you can drink directly by shifting the weight of the bottle onto your fist. Every time. I was amazed, truly.

And then, there's the holder which is attached securely and firmly to the neck of the bottle. A bottle made of a strong, resilient material that has withstood everything I've thrown at it. Trust me when I saw that I have manhandled this bottle in every possible way, from using as a faux knuckleduster, to being the subject to test the theory of centrifugal force. A new meaning of durability.

Spotless. Beautiful. A work of art, which I use every day and helps me avoid non-reusable plastic bottles. I'm a bargain hunter by nature but spend the extra few bob, you'll not regret it.

2.0 out of 5 starsDidn't last very long
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2019
I bought this bottle as I'm a postman, and after dealing with my first summer I realised I needed something a lot bigger than my 770ml Camelbak (which, whilst trustworthy, kept running out).

My first one lasted me a few months - albeit to my error, I left it full in the freezer intending to cool it quickly - but forgot, and it broke.

So I thought, "I won't make the same mistake again" and ordered another, as the capacity is immensely useful. As is the surprisingly good ergonomics of the handle, and the lid that doesn't leak. But...

As the picture shows, it's very fragile! It was 1/3rd full at the time and I dropped it from ~4ft onto concrete and it simply snapped, quite surprising how fragile it was considering it was only a third full. For £11 I'd expect tougher plastic, would understand if the bottle were a fiver but still, a bit of a letdown.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quite disgusting actually
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2021
Size Name: 2.2 LitreColour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
I used this bottle every day for around 2 months. Washed it regularly, didn’t use it for a few weeks and recently used it again over Christmas. I found that the plastic coating inside the bottle started to wear away and mix with the water making it smell and taste awful. I’ve attached a picture that was just me running two fingers along the sides of the bottles inside.
Wouldn’t recommend at all. Seems like a health risk.

1.0 out of 5 stars AVOID. GO WITH ANOTHER BRAND.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 February 2019
Size Name: 2.2 LitreColour Name: BlueVerified Purchase
Loved this for the short time I had it... but as you can see the cap has broken. I've contacted the seller on email and Facebook page to no avail. Really disappointed, wouldn't recommend this brand as the bottle itself is good but the caps are really cheap and flimsy. Such a shame it broke within 3 weeks of having it! I tried to prevent this hydrate. You forced my hand here. It didnt have to be like this, we could of worked on our relationship and put it all right. But you've ghosted me. I deserve better. It's not me its definitely you.

Farewell
Your favourite customer.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 April 2018
Size Name: 2.2 LitreColour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
Love this bottle, looks nicer in person than it does in pic. Now instead of carrying 4 x 50cl small bottles of water, all four fit in this one and I throw in some big lemon wedges as well. Also there’s no leaking! Very happy with purschase 🙂

Have updated my review, 3 years later my bottle is still going strong! 🙂

5.0 out of 5 stars Just amazing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 August 2018
Size Name: 2.2 LitreColour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
I bought this bottle as I bought 2L plastic bottles from the shop for day to day drinking and I thought time to get a reusable 2L bottle so for a start I was impressed to find one that size!

Knowing that this is the amount I should be drinking every day, it is easily trackable as you can clearly see how much of 2L you've drunk as well as the measurements on the side of the bottle.

It's design is great, the red carry handle on the side can surprisingly take a lot. I've had this full and the handle will pull it up with ease, and touchwood, hasn't broke at all. I have the bottle on the floor beside my desk and I've used it a lot to lift the bottle upwards when I need it. The side handle in the bottle is a lovely space as I have quite chunky hands and I can hold this bottle with ease. Though funnily it feels like you're lifting weights when lifting it.

The tiny hole in the top of the lid surprises you at first, it does make a whistle but it stops you from sucking in the bottle (which would make it tougher to drink from) but it does and makes it free flowing. I would have thought the click down lid might have worn down but it hasn't. 6 months+ on and I still have no leakage now matter how I hold it. The weight of 2L of water will not push the lid off/open the top.

Conclusion - This bottle is amazing :D Thank you to the designers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bottle.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2018
Size Name: 2.2 LitreColour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
After a year’s faithful and daily service, this bottle of water sat on my desk as the sun streamed through the window...and lit up how skanky it had gotten inside. It then dawned on me that all I’d done in the past year is rinse it out each time, never fully washed.

So, I happily bought a second one. It’s incredible how much cleaner and clearer it is. I’ll be taking better care of this one.

I re-bought the same bottle, which tells you everything you need to know.

The flip lid is so much better than a screw cap for work/gym. The strap is a useful picking up tool. Best of all, the screw on lid, ALWAYS lines up with the handle for right handed drinking. The spout to handle angle is very ergonomic. Doesn’t sound important but when full, it would be a bit unwieldy if they didn’t marry up correctly.

If this one ever breaks, I’ll happily buy a third.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy if you are concerned about materials used to make bottle
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2021
Size Name: 2.2 LitreColour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
If you are looking at this bottle because you care about the effects of plastics on your body then this bottle isn't for you.
Whilst it is advertised that this bottle "is made from the safest plastics" and does not contain BPA, It has no mention of being BPF/BPS free which are just as dangerous to your body.
I personally think the advert should be removed by Amazon for claiming to only use the safest plastics until they confirm there are no BPF/BPS aswell.
On their website in the FAQ it stated that the materials used to make this product are "To Be Announced" this was written in 2020 with no new updates which is ridiculous.
I emailed them a week before writing this review and recieved no reply.

If you care about the effects of plastics on your body then this bottle isn't for you.
If you are unaware of them then I suggestion you research.

If you don't care, then it serves its purpose quite well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Liked it while it lasted...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 September 2020
Size Name: 2.2 LitreColour Name: Matte BlackVerified Purchase
I loved this bottle. It was grippy, large, looked good, easy to clean, nice flow - not a bad word to say about it, till today - 8 months after I bought it - I dropped it 1/2 full on the carpet and it pretty much broke in half. I mean it looks like someone tried to open it with a tin opener. Didn't know if I should laugh or cry. I'm definitely gonna get another one, but something to consider when buying these things is that they are way more frail than you'd expect.

I loved this bottle until I dropped it by accident and it cracked. I dropped it on my laminate floor, it dropped from a height of approx 1 metre. I am disappointed, it has lasted a month. Also where the bottle opens the rubber is starting peel and fall off.
