Used to be great. We would replace every 2 months as recommended. Somewhere along the line the quality of the bottles got cheaper. It seems to be for one of 2 reasons we are replacing fortnightly. 1 the bottle splits since they are now thinner or 2 the lid splits which spills while drinking leaving you wet. As much as I loved the taste and believe me I am a fussy water drinker then I will be going to another brand. It gets to expensive all that replacement of 4 times more than expected.

When it was new, it made an awful noise with each slow mouthful - like 1000 screaming ants or something. Very slow to drink from. the filter/mouthpiece started cracking after 1 month of use, and completely broke before the 2 months. This is very disappointing as I had seen you could remove the carbon filter and use the "cage" as a fruit infuser, but now I'll never get the chance as it is rubbish. Not really helping the environment at all. Certainly feel that this is a faulty product and I will try taking this up with the retail store however I doubt I have a receipt.

Been using these for some time now, used to be a quality product. Now the bottles are brittle and implode when you drink fro them, if you drop the bottle the filters snap off. Same price but inferior product. Posted them a customer complaint 2 weeks ago, no answer. Disgusted.

Total crap... cannot drink from it...
Snapped off filter and use it as a normal water bottle.. such a dumb invention...it is not worth bothering.. the way to drink water is to get it this is too hard.. its a stupid invention.. never wld I recommend this bobbly to anyone ever it is dumb

I have had heaps of these in the past with no problems, but the last few filters have quickly become very hard to pop up. So hard in fact that you could do some serious damage to teeth if you were not careful. Also, the design of the top is poor as it does not provide enough of a lip to grip onto with your fingers unless your hands (and the unit) are dry. I have contacted customer service over 2 weeks ago and they have not yet responded. I wonder if they have changed their manufacturing process or materials as these problems have not occurred in the past.

Borrowed this water bottle off my mother and what a mistake. Worst water bottle ever. I chipped my tooth on the lid as the plastic is so bloody hard. You have to push the water into your mouth by squeezing the bottle or suck really hard to get anything out.

The type of plastic they use they shouldn't.. it collects microbes, and evertime you take a drink the bottle will make a horrible wheezing sound for like 5-6 seconds afterwards. Might be giving me rage issues. Can't wait to find a replacement. A real cheap piece of crap. Does anymore make a decent filter bottle without all the compromise?

After only a couple of uses my new bottle split at the rim and then leaked all in my work bag. When I notified the company about it they just said return it to the store for a refund. No apology or explanation, so that indicates they are not surprised that it happened and that this is an inferior product. Do yourself a huge favour and pick a different water bottle. I have a Brita one now and it seems good.

So many people here are whinging about the look, design, flow and quality. I have been buying the product for almost 2 years now as I wanted something to filter out most of the chlorine, contaminants and metals apparent in tap water. I find the product is perfect for this. I have bought over 12 filters for myself and my partner. One of the filters shed some carbon but we rinsed it and it was fine again. You may get minor faults but you're buying a disposable product at an affordable cost so get over it or go buy a $500 filter machine. Proof to its filtering efficiency is that we use the bottled water for our iron. Using unfiltered tap water we noticed chlorine residue, using bobble, this was gone.

I bought this product as I was travelling through Asia and wanted to make sure I had drinking water available - so disappointed in it.
Apart from being expensive ($30) it's impossible to drink from.
You need to squeeze it to get anything out and it warns it's easy to break so don't squeeze it...
On top of this I had assumed it was dishwasher safe but it's not as the mouth piece is the filter so when you have been using it, especially over night, it just seems dirty and skanky by morning.
Luckily I found enough shops on my travel to just buy bottled water everywhere.
Great idea but poorly executed product.

The filters crack easily and are expensive at £5 each to replace. I have tried many water bottles and I would not recommend these. To avoid disappointment and great expense do Not purchase these. These bottles are not worth the Money. My children were extremely disappointed and I spent lot of time looking for replacement filters. AVOID

I have 2 of the 1 litre bottles and a 550 ml bottle. My first 2 bottles I've had no problems with. However I bought a new bottle from Woolworths a few weeks ago and I'm having some issues with it. The filter top has a really bad plastic smell to it, which somehow adds an unpleasant taste to the water. I have washed it, soaked it in bicarbonate and then in lemon juice O/N but nothing seems to work.
So 6 months after the filter still has the really bad smell of plastic. Needless to say it only gets used when I absolutely need to use it.

It leaks and leaves a water ring on tables, the filter claims up to 300 refills however bacteria forms and is harmful in the PETE plastic. You can't pull it all apart and clean properly between uses. Water tastes like plastic. Makes slow hissing sound after you drink from it. Fail.

The first one 1 bought was great for filtering water on the go. It was awesome, so I bought replacement filters and an extra bottle so one could dry in between uses.

Turned out that was a massive waste of money. The first filter was the only one that didn't cover you in water.... I tried every filter, 1 out of 8 worked, and then eventually had to throw it out as it was too old.

On the plus side, as least the bottle part is recyclable - they were planning for you to chuck it out from the start.

Save your money. It would be cheaper to buy bottles on the go.

It uses PETE 1 plastic, which you can find the symbol at the bottom of the bottle, it is not safe to reuse as it can habour bacteria easily as the plastic is porous

I have seen these in my local store for ages and always anticipated on getting one. I finally got one today and it's absolutely terrible to try and drink out of. It takes like 10 minutes to get a SIP and it leaks.
Definitely not as good as they make it out to be.

I bought this bottle as I loved the design! I thought it was jst me but after seeing other reviews I'm on the ball. It's awful to try n suck the water out as u have to squeeze the bottle as the water doesn't come out with ease, and also the very loud wheezing noise when u try n take a sip very disappointed with this item

Bought it because I loved the design, aesthetically and it's functionality but after two days it became incredibly hard to get more than a small mouthful out and worse, the wheeze it makes is worse than my 2 pack a day smoking aunty.
