Review on Fidus Motivational 1 Gallon Water Bottle With Paracord Handle, Time Marker, And Removable Straw - BPA-Free Leakproof Water Jug For Increased Hydration Throughout The Day by Joshua Reid

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good overall, still 3 stars

Update (7/21/20):Got the 1 gallon in the mail a couple days later. It’s HUGE! The straw came bent enough to where, even with the cone attachment, you can’t drink it through the spout cause it’s too short. So bummed about that, but I’ll have to make my own straw for my preference I guess.Also, added ice to my water (only way I can get myself to drink more), and it sweats almost INSTANTLY.A LOT. Had to wrap a towel around it but then I couldn’t see the measurements, so not sure what I’ll do with that.The color is also different on the big one. The 1/2 gallon has more of a half and half faded look like it’s supposed to, but the 1 gallon the blue doesn’t even fade past "9 am” 🙁Will be returning one of the bottles soon, but may actually lose the $2 and keep the 1/2 gallon since the straw and paracord work better for it.Original (7/7/20):Received the wrong item. They sent me a 1/2 gallon instead of a 1 gallon as described. Didn’t realize this before I used it, but still have to return my used bottle so I don’t get charged extra for the new one they are going to send me in a couple days. Thought that was weird.COVID or not, that’s kinda gross, but oh well. I will be returning the original bottle in exchange for a new, hopefully correct, item.Also, the straw set-up is weird. Instead of making a longer straw or attaching the "cone” to the straw, it comes separate, which isn’t a big deal by itself, but because it doesn’t come attached to eachother, I get a lot of air bubbles while I’m drinking, regardless of how full my bottle is. If the straw is exactly in the middle of the cone, then it drinks & works perfect, but seeing how you have to push the straw down to close the lid, that shifts the straw/cone position, causing the air bubbles. I will probably super glue them together on my new bottle.On that note:LOVE this bottle! The measurements, the time-slots, the lid, the paracord (which is super convenient when juggling an infant car seat & a toddler)! I also haven’t noticed the bottle sweating, which is always a plus!Hopefully I will receive the correct bottle here in a couple days and update my review! Would love to give it 4-5 stars, just need the correct item, first!

Pros
  • The BPA-free plastic material is eco-friendly and helps to reduce waste.
Cons
  • The lid is too tight and difficult to open for those with weaker grip strength
