LifeStraw Go Series – Insulated Stainless Steel Water Filter Bottle for Travel and Everyday Use, 1L Cactus Green

I purchased two bottles, the one bottle I received was used, dented and had scratches

I originally bought this water bottle because I'm a bit sensitive to taste and where I live (Australia) I can taste the metal in the water even though we have a filtered tap. The straw helps tame the metal-ly taste of the water, and super stoked that it filters it still. The item arrived well-packed. Assembly was easy and I would personally recommend for you to soak the filter mechanism for about 15 minutes and wash the whole thing. One thing I can note is that because of the straw's length, there are still about 100ml of water in the bottle that doesn't get sucked in so you'll just have to fill when it reaches that level. It's insulated so keeps cold water cold. Also it is a bit bulky/heavy but I don't really mind it. Chuck it in your backpack and off your merry way. I am keen to test it overseas so I will update this review after my trip. The straw filter lasts about 5 years, so downright a pretty good investment.

When I bought this, I quite stupidly didn't understand that you have to suck the water through the straw to filter it 😅 so for me, it's a bit too big and I'm going to get the smaller size. But it is top quality! And if you want a large bottle of water on the go, go for it. I don't regret buying it. I will use it for long days out.

Got it for my girlfriend going to Sri Lanka, here's what she said: "Haha it’s great!! More effort to drink from as u have to suck hard to get th water through the filter, but i can drink out of any tap and also filled it up in a river in the jungle with no problems. Whereas everyone else here walks around with big plastic bottles"

Looks and feel as it is described in the description. Not sure about the usage yet.

Brilliant bottle. I travel a lot, often to places where the water quality may be somewhat questionable. This bottle not only saves a fortune in time and money in trying to locate and buy bottled water, but also helps reduce plastic waste. The bottle makes the local water not only safe to drink but taste better as well. The size is great for carrying around - plenty of water but not soon heavy as to be uncomfortable. No leaks, but a quick word of advice if you are using on a plane - do not take the lid off in the usual way or the pressure will force the water up through the filter and it will explode out everywhere. Instead, open both tops as though you were going to fill the bottle first to release the pressure, and then you can reseal and drink normally.
