LifeStraw Go Series – Insulated Stainless Steel Water Filter Bottle for Travel and Everyday Use, Removes Bacteria, Parasites and Microplastics, Improves Taste, 18oz Icelandic Blue

I got this as a replacement for my Brita filtered water bottle. Previously, I settled on the Brita due to Lifestraw not having an insulated bottle yet. My review would be mostly comparing these two. I like the design of the bottle. Both are nearly the same size, 34oz vs. 32oz (Brita). They are basically the same weight when full of water. I would expect it to be similar to other bottles tbh. The handle design though makes it feel like it's a bit lighter than the Brita though. Since you can use way more fingers to hold it comfortably. I prefer this bottles straw design. And it stays a lot cleaner and way easier to clean them the Brita. On the Brita the straw extends more, but cleaning it was a chore. Like I resorted to basically trying to clean it with a chopstick. Although, the Brita's advantage is opening the cap to get to the straw. Brita uses a push button with a spring hinge for the cap so it's super easy to open and close. The taste is better, most likely due to the 2 stage filter vs. 1 for the Brita (carbon only). The carbon filter is a lot smaller than the Brita though. Like 1/3 the size, so you'll end up replacing that a little more frequently. As far as the effort to suck the water. It's actually easier than with the Brita. It is hard in the beginning as usual, but like after 5 or so refills, it starts getting easier. It's like near effortless tbh compared to my Brita which barely got better. It wasn't hard on the Brita either, but it definitely takes more effort than the Lifestraw. All in all, this is a great water bottle. With Lifestraw famous filtration capabilities, you have more options on water source as well. I also bought the silicone bottom for the bottle which you can see in my picture. It's like a perfect match to the bottle color.

Pros: - Great color options - No added taste to the water; just a clean water sensation - Effective filtration of contaminants - Fits many cup holders - Feels Durable Cons: - Doesn’t fit all cup holders - On the heavier side Insights: I recently bought the 18oz bottle in the Aegean Sea color, and it has exceeded my expectations in several ways. I was looking for a stainless steel bottle, as I am trying to get away from plastics. The double wall design does a great job of keeping water cool. The color is vibrant and appealing, and the bottle effectively filters out contaminants, providing a clean water sensation with no added taste. The filtration system is impressive and gives me a level of confidence I don't get from other water bottles. The bottle is designed to fit many cup holders, but be aware that it doesn’t fit all, which can be inconvenient at times. It is also heavier than other water bottles, but this is expected due to its high-quality stainless steel construction and advanced filtration system. The added weight does not feel excessive and is a small trade-off for the benefits it offers. There is sometimes an issue with water kinda of bubbling up and out of the mouthpiece (presumably due to pressure differences), but they had a great tip in the instruction pamphlet that came with the bottle. It described the process of blowing air back into the mouthpiece when you are done drinking. That technique seems to work well for me, as I haven't had an issue since trying it. Overall, the LifeStraw Go Series is a durable, effective, and stylish water filter bottle that delivers clean, great-tasting water, making it a worthwhile investment for those who prioritize water quality and sustainability.

I have the larger version I take on camping trips. I bought this size to take with me in my backpack for work, whether I was just going to be somewhere with questionable tap water or getting through airports without having to pay $5 for a bottle of water. Like all LifeStraws, this bottle is solid and hardy- easy to get through security for flights and fill up at water fountains without worrying about microplastics from reusing plastic water bottles, but stout enough to get banged around and be okay. Perfect size for my backpack with a nice handle on top. No chemical/ pipe taste from public water systems. Understand that you have to give it a little suction to move the water through the nozzle- that's what's moving the water through the filter! My family now has five LifeStraw bottles, for camping as well as general use.

I love this water bottle overall! It feels really durable and functions well. It's very easy to clean and mostly easy to use. 2 very minor and 1 moderately minor gripe: > I initially had exceptional trouble getting water to come up through the straw straight out of the box, despite rinsing under water per the instructions. So I filled the bottle to the top and set it on my nightstand so that the filter could soak overnight. It worked! > Be prepared for chlorinated tasting water for the first full water bottle. After that, the chlorine flavor went away completely and the water tastes really good. > The REALLY annoying but not deal breaking issue is that the cap leaks, slowly, if it tips over on its side. See the cap and mouth piece photo. The little nub inside the cap is not a tight seal inside the opening of the mouth piece. So when the water bottle lays on its side, it will slowly leak water. It's not a massive amount but it was enough to soak through a small portion of 2 blankets. So that's not ideal! But if you pack it well so that it doesn't tip and don't leave it laying on its side around your home, then you'll be good.

The life Straw Water Bottle was fine! One bag of the beet powder was busted and was all over the other items in the box. I was so disappointed. It was obvious that the bag was busted before it was sent. Nothing in the box burst one the beet powder bags.

Ottimo prodotto.

Superbe gourde. Matériaux très agréable. Facile d emploi et bonne contenance. Solide. Très contente. Et la couleur sublime.

Excelente botella con filtro superior, confianza y salud. Muy recomendable

Pretty good item, just that the effort to suck the water is abit on the high side but it is all good.

Mi hijo y yo iniciamos con las botellas lifestraw y quedamos muy satisfecha con el producto, siguió mi hermano y está es para mí cuñada este modelo en acero es muy resistente para salidas al campo y el sistema de filtros superior a cualquier otro lo recomiendo‼️
