Review on Motivational Fitness Water Bottle - 1 Gal Capacity With Time Marker/Drink More Daily/Clear BPA-Free Design - Boost Hydration And Wellness Goals by Christopher Gotcher

I was apprehensive because of a few of the reviews. I got the 72oz and absolutely love it. I bought this because none of my bottles were big enough to hold the amount of water I need while working out. This was exactly what I was looking for, well worth it. A few points about this bottle:1- It is much sturdier than I thought. While I am careful not to drop or mistreat it, this is not a flimsy container. It is a hard plastic.2- I do not carry it by the strap (which some reviewers said broke) but instead I use the easy to hold handle. Have no issues holding it.3- With it being a large bottle, naturally in the beginning it may be awkward because its not the size we are accustomed to drinking from. However, I use it on my workouts without a straw and have mastered it. Other reviewers that are using it indoors say a straw works just fine. I will say if I had to pick one thing about this that I would change, I would prefer a flip and sip lid versus the open hole that this water bottle comes with. With that being said, after a little practice it becomes easier to drink from.4- I wash with steamy hot, soapy water every night. Since I don't use anything but water in it, this seems to clean it just fine. Just make sure you either refill with water and put in fridge right after cleaning, or tip upside-down to dry, leaving a space for ventilation. I always wash by hand, never in the dishwasher. So far no color or letters have washed off and has not developed any mold.If something happened to this bottle I would definitely buy another one. I would also recommend this to anyone that is looking for a good water bottle.
