Review on Giotto 64oz Motivational Water Bottle with Time Marker & Straw - Large Half Gallon, Leakproof Tritan BPA Free Water Jug for Fitness, Gym and Outdoor Activities - Ensure Adequate Daily Water Intake by James Julien

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great bottle. Terrible terrible straw!

I like how big and beautiful it is. I noted that washing would be a problem. One of the handles is fabric and not removable so I can easily see how it can get moldy in the wash. I only use it for water, so I don't wash it as often as I would if I was using it for juices, sodas, infused water, etc. So keep that in mind. In addition, it is not isolated. Again, this isn't a problem for me as I drink LOTS of water throughout the day and warmer water is easier to drink. But if you like ice water. I didn't notice that when I bought it. I really don't understand why the straw is so awful on such a serious bottle. To be honest if they had a better one I'd happily have it shipped to me. The mouthpiece is removable, plastic, and huge. So not only is it uncomfortable to drink due to the hardness and size (I'm used to smaller straws), but it also sucks. The seal isn't tight enough and I'm sucking in a lot of air, which honestly is a problem. I don't know if my straw is broken or what. But the detachable part below is made of silicone. a silicone mouthpiece would be 10 times better than that awful plastic. I gave this quest. When buying a B4, nobody had a problem with it. However, I had an incident while driving, I had to stop and the big ol' thing flew away. I accidentally didn't put my hat on after one sip and the water was everywhere. Remember that. I bought these hooks that you attach to the car seat and you usually hook the handle to that and it holds it securely. Of course I just didn't have him on the hook at the time.

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Doubtful
