Brita 26 oz Orchid Plastic Filtered Water Bottle, Reduces Chlorine, Leak Proof with Straw

The height is nice, fits nicely in my hand, the handle is flat and wide making it comfortable resting on my open fingers but uncomfortable if I need my fingers closed. I got one blue one as a gift for my sis, but the color is so VERY vibrant and beautiful that I had to order a 2nd one for myself ! Hers was fine, but mine has a slight strange smell and taste that did not wash away and that is very disappointing to me and for me. Especially after no issue at all with one Blue one NOR this Orchid color one! The straw that goes in your mouth to take a "sip" is much too wide to take sips comfortably and take a good amount of getting used to. When I clicked on "Visit The Brita Store", you can't even get replacement filters for this from there ! Another disappointment. But back to the good stuff; BOTH of my two bottles can fit on the door in my mini fridge so I can always have my water cold now! ALSO, my large fridge has filtered water so I HAVE tried the bottles without the filter inside %26 they work just fine that way. Per the info, this will not filter like their pitchers anyway.

I absolutely love these bottles. I've had several of them actually. I'm from Flint, Michigan where we don't know what's in our water so these are a good idea but not just for people who live here really for people anywhere. The ability to go up to any tap and get water that's not only safe to drink but tastes great is a game changer. I recently discovered just how well the filter works when I went to a friend's house who had water that smelt like rotten eggs and you could tell from bathtub and other sink areas that their water was extremely hard by the mineral deposits and hard water stains on everything. well, I took some of the water from the tap that smelt like eggs and put it in my bottle after taking a sip. it tasted just like bottled water that you would buy from the store. honestly, it tasted as good as high-end bottled water, possibly because of the high mineral content. City, water and many areas has all of the minerals stripped right out of it that are really necessary to maintain good health. I highly recommend these bottles. they're not expensive and the ease of use is irreplaceable
