Difficult to drink
I liked the styling and idea of this product, but was very disappointed in performance. You have to turn the bottle completely upside down to get water in to the filter, and it comes out in small amounts. I found it difficult to get enough water to quench my thirst. Too much work!

Who ever thought drinking water would be this hard?
I was excited to find a cool-looking replacement for my Brita pitcher that I could fill up as needed with fresh water. I didn't expect that drinking from this would be so hard though, it takes a lot of effort to get what seems like a few sips at a time.
Although the filter is treated with anti microbial agents, you also need to clean it with each use and store in a cool dry place. It makes me wonder what happens if you forget and leave it in the bottle?
I bought two initially, returned one after my hubby wisely pointed out any decent office will have a water cooler.
I gave up after only two uses and decided to install a Brita water filter on my faucet which has been extremely effective and given me great results. Brita 42201 On Tap Filtration System, White/White

Great for office desk, but not home
This is a great bottle to keep at my desk and refill with cold water from the building's drinking fountain. Water from the fountain where I work tastes terrible, and this bottle filters out the bad taste quite well. It's not meant to purify unsafe water, just improve the taste of water from the faucet, and it does that well for me.
At home, I'd definitely keep a Brita or similar pitcher in the fridge rather than using this small squeeze bottle, and for hiking a regular sports bottle filled from that pitcher is lighter, holds more, and is more leakproof. This bottle is perfect for situations like my office though, or anywhere you're fairly sedentary but can't keep a pitcher of water cool. The drinking procedure took a little getting used to (as other reviewers point out, you must squeeze water into your mouth rather than sipping), but I got used to it quickly. I'd rather squeeze this bottle than spend $1 per disposable bottle for cold water from a vending machine.
