BRITA S1200 Water Filter Bottle Active, Reduces Chlorine and Organic impurities, BPA Free, Blue, 600ml

I've been using a Brita filtered squeeze water bottle, everyday ( my sippie cup) for the last 6 years.My old one, that I bought in 2018, started to get weak in one spot and I was afraid it would give out on me..I tried replacing it with other brands and types and nothing, would come close. Thank God, I found this one. I swear, I looked a few months back and did not see this one. So, I bought it right away and retired my old one, that i have used daily, for the last 6 years. Did I throw it away? nope...cleaned and put away. In case, this one didn't work out. I love it! Just like the old one, it doesn't leak, and love the new filter, so much easier to replace and the cost, is equivalent to the old ones. A keeper for sure, hoping it last 6 years or more, like my other one.

This is the best filtered water bottle I’ve ever had, once I figured out how to make sure the lid is on tight enough to prevent leaks. I lost the piece that holds the filter in place so I contacted the manufacturer for a replacement, and I was told this bottle is discontinued, which I guess explains the high price it is currently listed for here. The manufacturer sent me a free bottle but it is a different style (straw) which I do not like because I can’t get as much water in my mouth as I can with this one. If the price comes down on this one, I plan on purchasing it again if there are any left by then.

Water is squeezed through through the disc filter. I do not like the bottles that require sucking the water. Great taste. Easy to use and clean. No leaking. No need to buy bottled water.

I bought this because I wanted a smaller filter bottle, and there's not much else in this capacity range. It has good filtration and is easy to use and clean, but the cap broke pretty quickly after being dropped on a carpeted floor. It's a design flaw that can let this happen easily.

No leak, decent filter, great design.

Brita currently makes 2 types of filtered water bottles: (1) squeezable but ineffective cloth rings like this one, or (B) the old cylindrical filters but hard metal not-squeezable bottles. They USED to be squeezable with cylinder filters. I used them all during the 2010s and loved them. But now you have to go on ebay to buy a used one (ew). I don't get it. I tried using it with the stupid little ring filters and without, and it tastes the same. The whole point of Brita filters is it alters the chemistry of the water so it tastes better. The metal ones with the good filters force you to drink the warm water that's been sitting there since the last the water inside ran out before the cold water you just poured in comes up, which is a gross experience. With the old squeeze-with-cylinder-filter bottles, you could squeeze the extra old water out after filling and closing it. Sure you can do that with these, but there's no need to since the water goes almost straight from the inside to your mouth. And again, the hemorrhoid-pillow looking filters do nothing to effect the taste.Why can't they just go back to making them both squeezable and with cylinder filters?

Even after washing with soap and water and leaving it to dry it has an icky smell in it…..🤷‍♀️😐

I bought 1 bottle which arrived without a filter disc included, so set up a replacement order. The second bottle also came without a filter disc, despite the packaging stating a filter is included.
