LifeStrawGo Series – Double Wall BPA-Free Vacuum Insulated 18 oz Stainless Steel Water Filter Bottle for Travel and Everyday use; Aegean Sea

Pros:- Great color options- No added taste to the water; just a clean water sensation- Effective filtration of contaminants- Fits many cup holders- Feels DurableCons:- Doesn’t fit all cup holders- On the heavier sideInsights:I recently bought the 18oz bottle in the Aegean Sea color, and it has exceeded my expectations in several ways. I was looking for a stainless steel bottle, as I am trying to get away from plastics. The double wall design does a great job of keeping water cool. The color is vibrant and appealing, and the bottle effectively filters out contaminants, providing a clean water sensation with no added taste.The filtration system is impressive and gives me a level of confidence I don't get from other water bottles. The bottle is designed to fit many cup holders, but be aware that it doesn’t fit all, which can be inconvenient at times. It is also heavier than other water bottles, but this is expected due to its high-quality stainless steel construction and advanced filtration system. The added weight does not feel excessive and is a small trade-off for the benefits it offers.There is sometimes an issue with water kinda of bubbling up and out of the mouthpiece (presumably due to pressure differences), but they had a great tip in the instruction pamphlet that came with the bottle. It described the process of blowing air back into the mouthpiece when you are done drinking. That technique seems to work well for me, as I haven't had an issue since trying it.Overall, the LifeStraw Go Series is a durable, effective, and stylish water filter bottle that delivers clean, great-tasting water, making it a worthwhile investment for those who prioritize water quality and sustainability.

I purchased this bottle because I wanted a metal bottle not made in China. I was not too interested in the actual filter, but it's a nice bonus if I were in a pinch.I put filtered water in this bottle and use it to keep it cool, which it does well. I haven't done any measurements, but it works as well, if not better than insulated water bottles.I did try tap water in it and the carbon filter does nothing for the horrible taste. I didn't expect much as the carbon filter is tiny.It requires suction to drink water as you are the one creating the pressure to pass the water through the membrane. I imagine you can remove the membrane and use it as a normal bottle, but I leave the membrane in.

I like this product and it is nice to know that it is filtering my drinking water to include the pesky microplastics. However, it is too hard to suck out the water for daily use. But, I have it for travel and hiking.

I was surprised to find out that the filter in this water bottle doesn't filter out the taste of chlorine. It makes me a little concerned when I thought it was supposed to filter out all contaminants.

Durable, keeps water cold. Doesn't add odd taste like our previous filter which used a plastic bag instead of bottle. Good flow, we are not sucking our eyeballs out like some models.
