Motivational 1 Gallon Water Bottle with Straw,BPA Free Water Jug with Time Marker,Turquoise/Sky Blue/Palegreen Ombre

I like keeping these kinds of large water bottles/jugs around, and keep them on rotation (while a couple are cooling in the fridge, I'm actively working on another.) These are overall pretty decent quality with one rather significant design flaw that affects performance. The tube or "straw" that runs from the lid into the bottle runs very nearly to the bottom of the container, with only maybe a millimeter between the end of the straw and the bottom. Basic physics says when you start to impede the flow of a liquid, you build a high pressure differential. To dispense with all the science mumbo-jumbo, it's hard to suck things out of these bottles. I got two with a recent order, and had the same problem with both.At first I thought the hole in the lid just under the mouthpiece which draws in air from outside when you suck was too narrow. But that didn't seem to make as much difference when I carefully widened that hole. It then occurred to me to check the length of the straw. Sure enough, it was practically sitting on the bottom of the bottle.What I did was very carefully took a sharp blade and cut a small (2-3mm) "wedge" from one side of the bottom end of the straw. It's a fairly narrow cut, only about 15° or so, but it was sufficient. I put it back together and tried it out, and voila! That did it! A huge and noticeable improvement over the original. I tried the two side-by-side, and there was definitely a difference in performance. I did the same modification to the second bottle's straw, and they both work so much better now.My advice to the manufacturer of this product: either cut the straw's length about 2mm shorter than you currently are, or consider cutting the bottom end at an angle to prevent this issue. It's otherwise a good product, and this issue and the rather dodgy latch on the flip-lid kept it from being a 5-star review. I haven't tried a home fix on the lid yet, although I suspect some very careful minor filing of the two "teeth" that catch the latch might do the trick.

I had to soak the bottle twice to get rid of the smell and taste of the plastic. The button to open the lid is very small and difficult. The straw is too thin, feels like I’m struggling to drink water because of the thin straw. The 64oz was a better jug but I needed more water intake and got this, I would return but I’ve already used it

I purchased this water bottle because I was tired of using my old one and wanted a convenient flip top that I could drink from while driving and working out. It also has a nice big handle on it and an extra strap, which makes it a breeze for me to carry it around when I’m running back and forth between classes without having to shove it into my bag and it won’t spill. I choose the pink, coral color. It’s very bright and pretty and the plastic has a nice silky feel to it. What’s not to like.The only CON was the bottle had a slight odor to it due to the plastic freshener that was inside. You need to wash it a few times with dish washing detergent and hot water. The smell is completely gone now. You won’t be disappointed. This is a great alternative at a fair price to buying one of those designer water bottles that cost $$$.

The little push button got stuck from the very first time I used it. I figured I would just deal with it, as the quality of the actual bottle was fair enough......The very first time I went to wash this water bottle the clip on the lid broke off entirely, rendering it completely ineffective.... now the top won’t close. So I can’t take it anywhere or use it at all.I’m incredibly disappointed. Purchased a similar water bottle back in September and the only reason I ended up replacing it was because my daughter rolled it down the drive way.... so I planned to have this one for 6-8 months as well. Instead it was hardly a month and the lid is broken and i can’t use it at all.

I love this bottle so much. I don't like drinking water but the sippy cup feature makes it more fun and tricks my brain into thinking it tastes better I guess haha. I don't use the times on the bottle cause I work night shift but the back has oz and ml markings so i can see how much im drinking and track it in my water app. It makes drinking fun. Also mine came with a tea bag which was very tasty. I wish i knew what tea it was so I can get more! I did take the strap off because when i wash it, it just gets wet which is annoying but I didn't really want it anyways.

I liked the size and color of the bottle along with the measurements and inspirations to drink on the sides. However, the straw and mouth piece made it quite difficult to drink from it. The hole for the mouth piece and the straw are quite small. After drinking just an inch worth of water from the bottle feels like trying to slurp an extra thick milkshake. It makes me feel like the reward of the water is not worth the effort of sucking it out through the straw. It would much easier to take the lid off and drink that way but that defeats the purpose of having the drinking spout and straw completely. I would not recommend this water bottle to anyone looking for one for heavy exercising or anything where you would want drink water quickly.Update: I discovered that the straw had been being pressed down on the raised area in the middle of the bottom of the bottle and that made it hard to drink through the straw. As long as the straw is angled enough, it's quite easy to drink through it

This is bigger than a 2 litter of soda.The arm strap really helps to carry this beast of a bottle.It forces me to drink my full daily recommended water intake.The motivational side quotes actually make me feel pressured to drink and I do actually try to keep up with the time goals.Love it

The pros: It holds enough water for the day. And it fits in my mini fridge. It also has not leaked. And it has uplifting words printed.Cons (bad): Very little water can be sucked up through the straw as your sucking competes with the bottle. So you have to let air in every tablespoon of water you drink. I just remove the cap and drink to avoid all that nonsense.Also, it is not insulated, so it gets room temp very quickly; unless you put it back in the fridge or cooler. I’m on the road a lot, so I suck it up… literally.

It works!
