Graphic Problem, April 7, 2009
The bottle is mega-cool, which is why I bought it instead of just a plain stainless steel bottle. However, the paint peels off no matter how you wash it. The other poor review for this bottle said that the paint was flaking off from dishwashing it, which is no shock because it SAYS not to put it in the dishwasher in the instructions. I have only washed mine according to the instructions and the paint is coming off as well. I also bought the bird one and the same thing is occurring. Moral: If people are going to sell something with something cool painted on it, they should make sure the paint stays on. And they can because, just to let you know, the "Earthlust" logo which is also painted on is NOT coming off at all. Shows where their priorities are. I am tempted to scratch that part off so I won't be advertising for a crappy product. To be fair. It "works" functionally just fine. But very disappointed with the graphic coming off.

Great product, great company, December 16, 2008
I bought this water bottle in my search for a non-plastic alternative. I chose it because I wanted a stainless steel bottle with no enamel on the inside (unlike the Sigg bottles), but one that was attractive and stylish (unlike most of the Klean Kanteen line). If I'm going to carry a bottle around all the time, and if I'm going to shell out this much money, I want it to be pretty.
I know some people are troubled by a metallic taste stainless steel bottles, but while I noticed one at first, I don't any longer. (I don't know whether this is because I've gotten used to it, or because the taste has gone, but I enjoy the neutral taste of the water now.)
The Earthlust customer service is also fantastic. I originally bought this bottle at the end of the summer, when they were still selling an older model. At the time, I was a little disappointed, because the design chipped and wore away quickly, and after a few months of wear, the cap stopped staying on.
When I contacted Earthlust, they immediately sent me a replacement water bottle in a newer model. I'm happy to report that the redesign is a good one. I've been hauling the new bottle around with me everywhere for the past few weeks, and it still looks brand-new, no scuffs or chipping. The redesign also corrected the problem with the cap; the design on the new bottle is much more durable.
So for those of you who are looking for a plastic alternative, I happily recommend Earthlust. It's well worth the money for an attractive and durable bottle.

A water bottle with looks!, August 30, 2008
This review is from: EarthLust Stainless Steel Bottle 13 Ounces - Shell (Misc.)
I'm trying to avoid plastic bottles, and this lightweight, stainless steel bottle was quite sensible. Earthlust designs, however, are great! What a bonus. Eco-smart bottles with style.
