Rubbermaid 20-Ounce Filtration Personal Bottle -Blue

 (24 customer reviews)

I bought this bottle so that I could stop buying cases of water. There were so many empty bottles of water in my car it looked like I had a problem. I really wanted something that would allow me to have filtered water anywhere. I read the reviews on the Bobble and the Brita filtered bottles, but many complained about noise and leaking. I found this in my grocery store and when I couldn't find a lot of reviews online I decided to take a chance on it. I'm glad I did.

Love this water bottle. I waited to write this review until I took it to work with me as I believed that to be a true test of the filter. The tap water where I work is disgusting and tastes like copper soaked in chlorine. This water bottle turns the nasty water at work into bottled water taste.

In addition:

-The screw on cap that is attached to the finger loop keeps the mouthpiece sanitary without having to keep track of a little plastic cap

I bought the two-bottle and extra filter set as a starter; we wanted to test this design. The decision to start with this product was based on comments on this Web site as well as others. After using it for two weeks taking it to school, shopping, and sailing with us, I decided to purchase two more because this product design and performance met our needs and fit into our life style.

We love the design:
1). The two cap system is easy to work with-- you don't unscrew the filter when you want to unscrew the drinking cap or refill the bottle;
2). The filter is easy to prime and to replace;
3). The bottle does not leak even when tilted upside down: you can suck out the water or squeeze the bottle; either way works well;
4). The plastic is durable and can be squeezed without damage or puckering;
5). It fits into our vehicle's cup holders (Hyundai and Ford SUV);
6). You can refill the bottle easily; the mouth is wide enough and the strap...Read more

I bought this bottle just because it was only $10 and I was curious to see how well filter bottles work. I was pleasantly surprised when I first used it, as tap water in my area isn't exactly great for drinking, and this bottle made tons of difference! It greatly improves the taste of the tap water, and it has encouraged me to drink more as I no longer have to pop open a bottle of water every time I want a drink. I can just refill straight from the tap, and I'm sure in the end I will be saving a lot of money. The top does not leak (unlike other types of filter bottles), and the stream of water is always strong with minimal effort (again, unlike others). And, at $10, it's not that big of an investment. Filters last a couple months, and a 2 pack of replacements is also $10. Definitely worth a try.
