Review on ๐ŸŒŠ Simple Modern Summit Insulated Water Bottle with Straw Lid - 1L Reusable Stainless Steel Flask Thermos, 32oz (945ml), Caribbean Blue by Liz Hamilton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

"Patented " air intake mechanism does not work

I ordered two flasks, 22 oz and 32 oz. As other reviews indicate, 32 oz. The straw-topped bottle is airtight, so you can only take a sip or two before letting in air. I thought it was a malfunction because 22 oz. The bottle I ordered allows for air intake, so I returned the 32 oz. and asked for a replacement. A replacement came in and had the same issue, so I returned both 32-ounces. return bottles. 22 ounces. The bottle works as advertised although I will say the water has a distinctive plastic taste that is different than if you were drinking water from a glass. I'll leave the 22oz bottle to see if the bad taste goes away, but in the meantime I've also ordered a Hydro Flask. It was a lot more expensive but it looks like this company will put out a quality product they can stand behind. UPDATE in a few weeks. 22 ounces. The bottle works great and the weird taste is gone after a few washes. I also bought a hydroflask and as far as I can tell the two products are comparable (the hydroflask seems to be a bit firmer). So I would probably mark 22 oz. 4.5 star bottle, but again, 32 oz. Cylinder air intake mechanism did not work.

Pros
  • Vacuum Flasks
Cons
  • Makes me angry
