Brita Stainless Steel Premium Filtering Water Bottle, BPA-Free, Reusable, Insulated, Replaces 300 Plastic Water Bottles, Filter Lasts 2 Months or 40 Gallons, Includes 1 Filter, Rose - 32 oz.

I have purchased a number of water bottles to try. This 32 ounce stainless steel Brita bottle is the one for me.First of all, the size is generous yet the bottle feels more compact and portable than other similar sized bottles. It doesn't feel like a huge bottle to me. It is bigger than what will fit in my cup holder in the car, but I still find it to be compact enough to be considered portable.I was looking for a bottle that is insulated so that it will keep my water cold for longer. I wanted to be able to filter water so that funky fountain water or tap water lost most of its funny taste, yet I didn't need something so crazy to filter river water or muddy water. I also wanted a water bottle that would hold a fairly generous amount of water so that I wasn't refilling all the time.The way that I use this bottle is that I fill with ice in the morning and then sip the cold water. There are times when I will run out of water yet I still have ice. Then I just find a sink or fountain, refill, and go again. Ice stays in the bottle all day, and my water is cold all day also. I have had ice in the bottle 24 hours later, so I feel that it does keep the water cold all day.My transition from soft drinks to water has occurred over about six months, but now I find that I am drinking water all throughout the day. I don't measure my water intake, but I sip my water throughout the day. I fill my bottle 2-3 times a day. This is in addition to what I drink at lunch and dinner.I do not have issues with my water bottle leaking, EXCEPT when I over fill the bottle. Then when I am screwing the lid on the bottle, there is water that overflows and leaks from the cap. Once the overflow is gone, the bottle does not leak.I don't run my bottle through the dishwasher although if you feel comfortable running your insulated tumblers through the dishwasher, you might not mind running this one through as well.I wasn't sure at first how I felt about the straw and sipping instead of being able to chug my water; however, as it turns out, that wasn't really a concern at all. I don't consider it difficult to draw up the water to drink through the straw as some have indicated.On the whole, this insulated water bottle has emerged the leader of the pack for me. It feels solidly made. It is generous in size and, starting the day with ice in the bottle, keeps me in cold drinking water all day. It doesn't leak and isn't easy to spill. It isn't unwieldy to carry and doesn't sweat.I definitely feel that I am doing a small part to help the environment since I am decreasing my use of plastic single-use water bottles.There is nothing about this bottle that is a negative for me.Update: I have been using this bottle daily for more than six months. From dawn to dark, I have this bottle with me everywhere I go. I quit drinking soda altogether and truly crave my ice cold water. My bottle has a few dings from being dropped a few times, but it’s still going strong. It still keeps my water cold for 24 hours. I don’t have any odd discoloration or moldy spots on the mouthpiece. Finding replacement filters has been exceptionally easy, and I have a bi-monthly reminder on my calendar to replace my filter. I love the carry loop, which makes this slightly larger bottle highly portable. Ultimately, I can see the “fail” will occur on the cap hinges, as my bottle already has hairline fractures on each hinge.I tried the 20 ounce bottle, and it simply does not hold enough water for me. I purchased a cup holder extender, so now I can rest my bottle in a cup holder while traveling.It isn’t a matter of if I would buy this bottle again but when I will buy another one. This is not a purchase I regret making. My only regret will come if I need this bottle again and can no longer purchase one. For my hydration, I need this bottle (and filter), ice, and tap water.

Such a great investment! I put two water bottles in here at 8ish this morning and 5 hours later, still as cold as when I took them out of the fridge! My only suggestion would be to add texture to the sides of the bottle cause it's very smooth, but I did get a water bottle carrier just in case

Love this water bottle! I’ve been struggling to stay on top of drinking water daily but with this bottle it’s been helping me a lot! No more excuses to get filtered water when this does it for me. Also keeps ice and water super cold for long periods of time and the handle makes it super easy to carry around

Use this bottle constantly at Disney easy to carry fits in most bags and the filter helps soo much with the terrible Florida water keeps drinks cold for a good amount of time definitely will keep buying

I have had this water bottle for a year now, and I've really enjoyed it! It's the only reason I was able to stay well-hydrated throughout my pregnancy. Just two of these, and I hit the recommended water in-take for pregnant women. It kept my water cold and fresh, so I was able to drink more. I recently bought one for a friend. I wish I could give it five stars, but it does leak if it is not upright. It's so large it doesn't fit in my cup holders, so I have to accept the fact that it will probably fall and leak in my car when I'm driving. The plastic hinge of the lid is also cracked, so I'm not sure how much longer it will last.

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.

I previously had the brita water bottle with the hard plastic. I loved the item until the mouth piece became impossible to clean. I bought this one knowing I’d eventually have the same issue with the mouth piece but liking it waaay more than the other because of how cold it keeps my water.

This bottle is incredibly hard to clean and the straw makes it hard to drink from. It’s also quite heavy.
