Review on Bobble HF185 Classic Water Bottle Kitchen & Dining by Amanda Head

Formerly GREAT, but quality is TANK

I used to love these bobs but the quality has dropped lately. Specifically, there are two new quality issues that I'll address below. 1) The nozzle you drink from is cheaper so when you drink it partially closes around you which means you (i) have to use a lot more. suction pressure to obtain a lower volume of liquid, or (ii) tolerate a significantly lower volume of liquid when drinking; or (ii) use your front teeth to pull the spout out while drinking to prevent it from partially closing. I find each of these three options very uncomfortable at best. 2) Cheapened the plastic cap so it gets tangled when you try to unscrew/unscrew the entire top assembly to fill with water. Note that there is a workaround: remove the cap, then unscrew the nozzle/filter assembly, then refill, then screw the nozzle/filter assembly back on and recap. It's less of a hassle, but still annoying - especially since it's never been an issue. In short, I used pom poms all the time, but nothing more. This degradation in quality is serious and unacceptable.

Pros
  • REPLACEMENT CARBON FILTER Replaceable carbon filter gives you 300 single-use 16 9 ounce water bottles. Activated carbon filters require very little maintenance due to their high suction capacity
Cons
  • Style 90
