Bobble 100BOEUBL BPA-Free 1 Litre Water Bottle, Blue

I personally was very wary of buying this, after seeing the other reviews warning that you have to squeeze hard to get anything out, but I can tell you that is not the case. I can only assume that other reviewers must have a medical problem which prevents being able to lightly grip or squeeze the bottle.This is a great water bottle. Until you get about 3/4 of the way through the water, I find that there is no need to squeeze to push the water through the filter, as drinking normally is all you need to do. Even then, unless you have arthritis etc, you only need to squeeze very lightly which is absolutely no hassle, or you can just refill the bottle to the top.Other reviewers have warned that it can be loud and makes a lot of noise when drinking, but again I can assure you this is not the case. It makes absolutely no more noise than a regular disposable water bottle, and if anything I found this bobble to be quieter and more discrete, as of course there is no crinkling of the plastic like with disposable bottles.The whole bottle feels of very high quality, and the shape and design is very attractive. The filtered water tastes noticeably better than tap water, and it is a great way to get high quality water when out and about - I find cafes are more than willing to refill my bobble, which saves me having to spend money on plastic bottles and is so much better for the environment.I love this bobble so much that I have bought the Sports bobble as well, as this 1-Litre bobble is too big to fit in a traditional bike or exercise machine drinks holder.I cannot recommend this 1 Litre Bobble enough, it makes my life so much easier and is so much better for the environment than buying individual disposable bottles of filtered water. It is of great quality, so easy to use, and I have had not a single problem with it.

I hate the taste o the tap water at my office so have been drinking bottled water but decided to cut the waste and the expenditure with a filter bottle. I looked at the Brita bottles bu their filters are ludicrously pricey and only last a week each so went for the Bobble.I have experiences no problem with the flow out of the bottle and although the nozzle is pretty stiff to start with I'm sure it'll get better. The problem is with the bottle itself. Consider that replacement filters are about £6.50 each meaning there's £3.50 of the retail cost going towards the bottle (I know it's not quite that but I don't know what the margins etc are so I'm talking about comparative amounts here). That's over half the cost of the filter, yet the plastic the bottle is made of is rubbish. You are told on the packaging not to squeeze it too hard, but it's a drinks bottle - it's going to get squeezed so it should be able to withstand that, just like normal sports drinks bottles can. Also unless you squeeze it a bit it takes forever to run the water through the filer (as you need to do with new filters) so again, it's going to get squeezed. I'm not talking about mashing it flat, but a gentle squeeze, and this resulted in immediate creases in the plastic which doesn't bode well for longevity. Also the filters are an awkward size and won't fit any other bottle I know of so once the included bottle is knackered (which won't be that long I suspect), I'll have to buy another. Hardly fits in the with waste reduction ideals.As a result, once the bottle is knackered I will be investing in a Camelbak Groove because Camelbak actually make products that are robust enough for daily use. Also their filters can be bought for as little as £4.25 each if you buy 6 at a time and they will filter up to 180 litres each. Yeas, the Camelbak bottle is more expensive and not quite as big but it'll last years unlike this cheaply made nonsense.

Money well spent. Having seen these online and after talking to a friend who has one, I decided to go ahead and buy one with some money I received at Christmas. Have been drinking lots more water which is always a bonus. Couple of minor things. Although delivery was very prompt, (I ordered it on the 24th of Dec and got it on the 28th), it arrived in a box that was bigger than need be and wrapped in brown paper. There are some scratches on the bottle, presumambly by being moved around in the box during transit. Also there are some creases in the side of the bottle with minor dents but as these don't appear to be affecting the integrity of the bottle and it appears to be working as it should. So it loses a star for the minor issues and I would recommend the product be better packaged for delivery. Otherwise I'm loving my bobble bottle:D

Brought this bottle to replace my 550ml red top I had for three months before it got put in the dish washer and melted :( Very happy with the design, very ergonomic. Love the filter, makes the water taste heavenly and clean. Only issue I've had with bobble is the filter doesn't like sparkling water very much - yes I know it's marketed as a tap water purifier but I like to make cranberry squash with sparkling water and I find that I have to keep the filter not screwed on all the time until I've drunk below the filter or water bubbles out the top. Bit inconvenient but I love bobble all the same and use their bottles religiously.

I have bought this product for my father.And I see that there is no benefit from it apart one that it save money when you don't have to buy bottled-water.The purification option of the bottle is not changing much as we use water purification system at home which makes the water taste already pure, so bottle does its job just as a container. Maybe it would be more helpful if refilled from the other tap like somewhere in public places.Cons of this bottle is that the round cap is fitting rather tightly and it broke after few days of opening.Water doesn't flow easily and makes sound of bubbling, probably this is why it is called the Bobble :DOther than that if your tap water or refilling place water tastes poor, get this I think it will make it more comfortable to drink.
