Great for office
I love this bottle! I always bought bottled water to take to work because the city water tastes terrible. The filter on this bottle definitely makes a difference in the way the water tastes. I only gave it 4 stars because I think it would be perfect if the bottle was insulated to keep water cold. Other than that, I would buy it again in a heartbeat, and I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Back to the drawing board..
I recently changed locations for my job from a building that had free access to delivered filtered water to one without and I decided that I really didn't want to pay $1 every time I was thirsty. So, when I heard about this bottle, I was already in the process of trying to find a filtered water bottle to take with me every day. The perfect timing of the release of this bottle seemed like fate. And I loved many of the other Fit & Fresh items (except for the original salad shaker, which was round instead of the new square one and whose ice pack would fall into the salad and squish all the lettuce every day..). Obviously the bottle and I were meant to be - or were we? When I finally received this bottle, it actually made me excited to go to work the next day so I could try it out. That's when I found the flaws in this. While the idea behind this bottle is genius, the execution is.. not. The idea is that you fill up your bottle, open the pop-top, tip the bottle upside down, squeeze, and shoot the water into your mouth. OK, sounds easy enough. However, the filter takes up nearly the top half of the bottle, so it's awkward having to hold it near the bottom and squeeze. Also, because of the length of the filter, you're squeezing a bunch of air into your mouth for the first few seconds before any water even starts to come out. By that time, your hand gets a little tired of squeezing. I'm pretty bummed about my new bottle and I think I may end up returning it and just getting a filtering pitcher and a regular water bottle...
