2.0 out of 5 stars Back to the drawing board.., July 15, 2008

This review is from: Fit & Fresh Water Filtration Bottle (Health and Beauty)

I recently changed locations for my job from a building that had free access to delivered filtered water to one without and I decided that I really didn't want to pay $1 every time I was thirsty. So, when I heard about this bottle, I was already in the process of trying to find a filtered water bottle to take with me every day. The perfect timing of the release of this bottle seemed like fate. And I loved many of the other Fit & Fresh items (except for the original salad shaker, which was round instead of the new square one and whose ice pack would fall into the salad and squish all the lettuce every day..). Obviously the bottle and I were meant to be - or were we? When I finally received this bottle, it actually made me excited to go to work the next day so I could try it out. That's when I found the flaws in this. While the idea behind this bottle is genius, the execution is.. not. The idea is that you fill up your bottle, open the pop-top, tip the bottle upside down, squeeze, and shoot the water into your mouth. OK, sounds easy enough. However, the filter takes up nearly the top half of the bottle, so it's awkward having to hold it near the bottom and squeeze. Also, because of the length of the filter, you're squeezing a bunch of air into your mouth for the first few seconds before any water even starts to come out. By that time, your hand gets a little tired of squeezing. I'm pretty bummed about my new bottle and I think I may end up returning it and just getting a filtering pitcher and a regular water bottle...

I'm not sure why other users are having trouble with the water bottle. The included instructions clearly state that it takes a moment for the water to go through the filter and to squeeze the bottle to get water out. If you tip it upside down and squeeze water into your mouth it works fine.
The quality of the product seems like first generation where the filter is large and heavy and the water bottle feels odd but to make it last and squeezable it has to be a softer plastic. Also I wish it did not come in this color blue it looks like a giant air freshener.

That being said it performs well and the water taste much better than it does coming straight from the tap. I definitely recommend this product if you like to have good tasting water anywhere you go and also why give your cash to a company that is selling you tap water anyway. Bottled water is evil, it harms the local environment and causes lots of waste products.

Fit N Fresh 131FF LivPURE Filtered Water Bottle

I had seen this item in a magazine article, and in my quest to start recycling, reusing, and reducing. I decided to stop buying the usual water bottles that fill up our landfills. Since we had all started drinking more water once I started buying this style water bottles, I thought it would be terrible not to have some type of easy to grab style bottle in the fridge at all times.

Well, this idea seemed great, use the same plastic water bottle with a build in filter, that also didn't emit the same toxic chemicals that other water bottles claim to and can even be top shelf dishwashed. Wow, what a great concept.

The downside to this is, in order to actually get the water out of the water bottle you have to kind of squeeze and suck at the same time, so the water can process through the filter. It's very slow, and I ended up using so much energy to drink out of it, I never really drank from it. Consuming far less water than I'd like and feeling dehydrated by the end of the day.

My son seems to like it and my boyfriend has totally thrown in the towel with it too. I'm not likely to use it at all and spent almost $13 on each one. Thinking I'd be saving money in the long run, I actaully will end up losing money and not drinking nearly enough water in a day.

Not my type of water holder, I may go back to the old school water bottles. Then let my son use the other two water bottles in his time. Not a total loss, but I'll buy one experimental item next time, instead of all three.
