Bought this for when I go to Florida. The water there is awful, and always hurts my stomach. This is the perfect way to ditch the plastic and carry around your Brita filter. The stainless steel keeps your water cold. Not as long as say other popular stainless steel cups and bottles, but that’s not why I bought this. I can taste the difference when I fill this bottle up and fill up my camelbak water bottle. The brita water has no taste, but the camelbak you can taste the metallic of the water. Which is awesome for when I go to Florida now I can fill it up with normal water and it’ll filter out the yuck, and I wont get sick. Which is what I bought it for! I think because the straw is also a filter, it is a bit harder to suck up right away, but that just allows me to drink slower instead of guzzling down water. The lid on top makes it leakproof. Easy push button to open it. A little handle on top to carry it. The blush color is pretty.The filter itself is easily to install, just make sure to rinse it before you insert it, which it tells you on the little instruction paper it comes with. I would definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a filtered water bottle. The price is worth it.
