The Nefeeko Collapsible Water Bottle is a reusable, eco-friendly water bottle designed for convenience, portability, and sustainability. Its standout feature is its collapsible design, which allows it to shrink in size when not in use, making it ideal for travel, outdoor activities, and everyday use.Pros:I love the space-Saving Design•The collapsible feature is excellent for those who are always on the go. It can shrink to about a third of its full size, making it perfect for packing into a bag or backpack without taking up much space.• Made from food-grade silicone, it’s BPA-free, odorless, and safe for both hot and cold beverages. The material feels sturdy yet flexible, and it doesn’t collapse accidentally while in use.• The secure screw-on cap prevents leaks, making it safe to carry in a bag without worrying about spills.• Even when full, it’s lighter than most standard water bottles, making it great for hiking, travel, or the gym.• It’s a great alternative to single-use plastic bottles, helping reduce waste.• The bottle can handle beverages ranging from -58°F to 392°F, making it suitable for water, tea, coffee, or even cold drinks.Cons:• Like many silicone products, it may retain odors from strong beverages (e.g., coffee or flavored drinks). Washing it thoroughly after each use is necessary to avoid this.• Its capacity when fully expanded (typically around 18-20 oz) may not be sufficient for people who need a larger water supply, like during long hikes or extended outings.• When partially filled, the collapsible structure can feel less stable or prone to tipping compared to rigid bottles.

Took this bottle on a trip to Universal Studios in hopes of keeping hydrated. The bottle is especially nice because you can squish it down when not in use. Be sure to wash the bottle thoroughly at least once, maybe even twice before use to get some of the plasticy silicone taste off of the inside, but after cleaning, I didn't notice any unusual tastes when drinking water out of the bottle. I didn't try any other liquids so I can't say whether or not the bottle holds on to any other flavors, but it worked great for water. One very minor quibble, when the bottle is full, it doesn't like to stand up nicely and will usually just fall over. The included clip can help with that though. When full, the sides are very squishy and it's best to use two hands when drinking, otherwise the end will just flop over the end of your hand. This bottle got a lot of use at Universal though, and it kept going strong for me all week.Fun side note, as long as you're only getting ice and water, nearly all of the Coke Freestyle machines in Universal/IoA will let you do just that for free. Some of the coldest and most refreshing water in the parks.

I really liked the concept of this water bottle; it's so useful being able to collapse it as you drink throughout the day so that eventually the bottle takes up less space whether in your bag/purse or hanging with the included carabiner. The silicone material worked great at safely containing a drink without risk of leaks or condensation yet lightweight enough that it's not annoying to carry all day. In fact, I brought this on a multi-day trip to various theme parks, and it held up perfectly for my needs - conveniently compact, sturdy, easily washable, no noticeable bad taste.One minor thing I didn't like was how goofy it looks/feels to drink from since the flexible material means you sometimes need two hands to support it as you tip it back into your mouth. Additionally, my friends delighted in making fun at how this bottle looks like a "floppy dildo" particularly when placed on a table. Because the base of the bottle isn't very heavy or sturdy, it easily topples over by itself. Not a big deal to me though.Unfortunately, mere months after purchasing (and of course just past the return window) the bottle broke. I was wondering why it was suddenly leaking and not screwing tightly like before only to realize the plastic ring at the neck of the bottle is cracked. I didn't drop it and was careful to hand-wash only, but clearly the plastic is just poor quality (or perhaps I got a defected item). I have a Nalgene bottle that is also plastic, and somehow that one has lasted over a decade. Meanwhile, this Nefeeko bottle couldn't last 2 months.tldr; Neat concept if quality was higher. Plastic ring (where top screws on) broke within months. Not bad if you want a $14 carabiner.
