Brita Insulated Filtered Water Bottle with Straw, Reusable, Stainless Steel Metal, Ruby, 32 Ounce

Im a researcher and the reviews on the top had me skeptical. Take a straw cleaner with soap and bleach to clean the top. I also found that the tip of the filter tends to get dirty, take out and rinse off to prevent mold or the charcoal from the filter from being settled in the top. I clean bottle and top every other week to prevent build up. Great for filtering. I use it all the time especially when traveling. Definitely recommend. Easy to carry, 32 ounces may be pushing it due to having to account for the weight of the straw being inserted, you cant fill to the top. Color is cute and true. Keeps water cold, never tried hot liquid inside.

[6 mo. UPDATE] 6 months later, the bottle is still perfect! I briefly experienced the issue that some other reviewers mentioned, which was having to use way too much suction to get the water through the straw. This issue appeared 3 months into my using the bottle. Then, I realized that I was 1 month overdue in changing my filter! When I changed the filter, the suction returned to completely normal and effortless. I don't know if something happens with the filter that makes the suction different or if the filter had just moved around in there and made suction difficult. However, I have not had the issue again and have since changed my filter at the recommended 2-month intervals. I have had 0 real issues with this bottle. I also had no issues with the 24 oz. non-insulated, plastic version of this bottle which I had for about a year prior to buying this steel version. ---- This bottle is PERFECT! I originally had the plastic, translucent 24 oz. Brita bottle which was great, but I was refilling it so often that I wanted a larger one. I saw this one and read that it was insulated which made it a definite plus! This bottle/filter definitely makes even the grossest water (aka hospital water) drinkable and tasty. The mouth on this one seems slightly larger than the 24 oz. because I don’t drop as many ice cubes when putting the bottle under the dispenser. Not only is this insulated, but it doesn’t sweat! The plastic one does sweat and leaves water rings on tables. This steel one keeps my ice perfectly in place for about 3 hours but keeps my water cold for about 7 hours (at this point, there’s still ice left, but just less of it) and keeps it cool for about 3 more hours. I have had 0 (ZERO) issues drinking from the bottle. Someone else mentioned that if you are having difficulty drinking from it, it’s likely because you haven’t twisted the straw in (as directed on the wide end of the straw). If the water gets extremely low, with like 1 sip remaining, you do have to keep the bottle leveled to be able to drink that sip. The only issue I have with this bottle is so far not seeing a fill line. The fill line in the plastic one is obvious and you can see exactly to where you’re filling the bottle. I have yet to see a fill line in this steel one so I’m not certain how to get the most water in there without overflowing. I just eyeball it. Someone also mentioned the top of the bottle being in the way of their nose… but you can literally extend the top back a full 180°; there’s no way anyone’s nose is that big to be in the way — your nose would have to hook downwards to the level of your lower lip. I’ll try to post pictures later.

This was a great bottle to take on a hike I did in Spain and Portugal. The lid closure was great. Very easy to-use the button and the lid pops open. The straw works very well and the lid does not leak. The filters are good for three months and then should be replaced. I would give it a 10.

We are a water drinking family and have clean spring-fed water at home. But my teenagers are spoiled and think city water (or any water not from home) tastes bad. We tried the plastic filtered Britta last year for vacation to Europe and it worked so good! The water tasted clean no matter where we filled up...and that's a relief because buying water in Spain was expensive! It was just warm. I happened to find this insulated stainless steel option and VOILA - dream come true! Now water even stays cold! This is probably the best water bottle I've ever bought (and I'm embarrassed to say how many I've bought over the years for our family of 4!) And the rose color - all the kids at school are asking. I was able to find lots of places to buy replacement filters at a reasonable price. Personally, I wouldn't get anything smaller than the 32 oz. I'm super happy with this purchase!

I love this thing. Works well great for use at home. I love hate the size. Its the perfect size for the ammount I need to cary but it doesn't fit in my car holder. Sigh. Also cleaning. The plastic is turning yellowish. Kind of like a phone case. Nit pleasing to the eye.

This is exactly what you think it would be. It’s exactly as pictured super cute color Buy buy

My go to every single day

Pros: easy to put together; definitely filters water so that it tastes better; keeps ice/water cold for quite a while; absolutely leak proof Cons: when you suck on the mouthpiece you have to really suck it to get a small amount of water; it does not fit average car cup holders; kind of hard to clean the mouthpiece (i dont have a dishwasher) Im still debating on returning this for a filtering water bottle that will fit in a cup holder

This is the second one ive bought! Both are well loved and work well. Prefer to only use these as my waterbottles because of the brita filter amd always great tasting water. Easy to clean. Keeps my drinks cold for a day or so

Wow! I am actually so impressed by this filter. I was debating on this for a while since for the last few days, I've noticed the chlorine taste in my tap water appeared much sooner than it had before. This nipped it right in the bud. Finally some good tasting water again. I don't notice too much difficulty using the straw, but this could be because I'm used to sucking a little harder for water. My old bottle is a 40oz metal bottle and the straw took a little more effort than normal straws to bring up water, so switching to this one felt fine. I guess if you're a normal user, the straw may feel like it'll take a bit of effort to use, but I don't experience much difficulty.

One of the best water bottles IMO. Keeps cold all day, filters the water and very durable. Only downfall is the difficulty to clean the lid thoroughly.

This is my favourite bottle. Works amazingly. And I can’t taste the tap water at all. Highly highly highly recommend. You can fill up any water in it and drink away.

My favourite water bottle! I take it with me everywhere! Becareful not to break the plastic lid! Lost 2 good ones because of this. They should really sell replacement lids.
