Considering i bought this for the 3rd time, very disappointed due to the quality of the product. One simple drop....POP! I would not recommend.

it looks pretty small but it can hold a great amount of water

Haven’t even been able to use it, leaks straight away. Don’t buy it. 

The very first time it had water inside it, as soon as it tilted far enough for water to go near the lid, it just poured out. Terrible quality. I definitely should've checked the reviews before ordering

Bought six of these to keep my labourers hydrated at work and to take to the gym. All of them leak, three have already been thrown out in frustration, and the seats in the van have ended up saturated several times. No sign of a rubber seal or similar in the lid which is probably the culprit. Avoid unless you intend to keep upright at all times. 

Good sized bottle but broke way to easily. The string attachment on the lid broke broke within 2 uses of the bottle, making it drop on the floor and smashing  

Love the size and capacity and easy portability easy to clean with a bottle bursh. BUT: The cap cross threads very easy. The cap strap gets soaked when filling it. Holds alot of ice cubes easily. Bottle sweats alot w/ cold water. I can understand how it could crack and break easy. Just the type of plastic it is. ODD THING: the bottle was left in my car for a weekend with a couple ounces of water. The temperatures ranged from sixty at night to 90 during the day... Im sure much hotter in a closed car. The Bottle totally bulged out of shape. The bottom flat part bulged so much it cannot sit flat. The side of the bottle bulged out where the handle is and I cant fit my fingers through the handle. Needless to say, not using at all now. I wonder what material the bottle is made from???

Unbiased opinion. The quality is above average, read some comments on the questionable plastic material, so far I’ve well taken care of the bottle and it’s just fine. Having this half gallon bottle, it gives me a clear picture of how much water I have consumed in a day. Never carry it with the handle because it seems the handle can’t really handle the weight of half gallon water 

Dropped it flat from about a foot off the ground and the whole thing split. Half a gallon of water all over the gym floor. Not what you want in your sandwiches.

This helps me drink more water and meet my water intake goal
