Review on ๐Ÿšฐ BPA-Free Plastic Astrea ONE Premium Filtering Water Bottle - 23 Oz, NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401 Certified by Rodney Sample

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Odd taste, stains, dirt

This is my 3rd bottle using a different filtered water and I am pleased to see how it compares to others I have used over the years. In general I like the look. and you don't mind "sucking" to get water, but the water tastes weird. This may have something to do with its unique filter, which I'm one of the few that filters out lead, but I almost always get an odd/not-quite-plastic taste, especially after it's been sitting for a few hours. My other big problem was the mouthpiece getting dirty in just a few weeks and I don't think I did anything egregious to cause it. I was very excited about the flip-top filling chamber. While it works well half the time, the other half has a thin rubber valve that sticks to the top and when you fill it up it gets stuck and water gets everywhere. You can unscrew the lid or use a small tool like a chopstick (my fingers are too big to fit through a sieve) to pull it off, but that's annoying and defeats the purpose of this option.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
