Bottle leakedOctober 25, 2008 I bought two of these. One started leaking from the base within a week and the lid didn't fit properly on the other.
leaky bottleOctober 20, 2008 The bottle looks cool, but it takes about 10 turns just to open and close the bottle and it leaks. The paint is starting to come off of mine too. I didn't realize at the time that I bought it, but stainless steel sweats pretty bad too. If I had known these things, I would have chosen a plain silver bottle with a different type of top.
Not as good as their other bottlesOctober 20, 2008 I bought two of these earlier this summer for my wife to get away from more plastic since she was pregnant. The bottles work fine. The seals are great and we never had leaks, but the caps were VERY easy to cross thread. One of the two I ordered actually came cross-threaded and I had to send it back. Amazon was amazing and we had a new one very quickly.
The cross-threading issue continued tho and every so often I'd find a sliver of black plastic in my bottle(or my mouth). This was very unsettling so we ordered some of the bottles(also by New Wave) that have the large threads(a la kleen kanteen). New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Bottle (1-Liter)
We LOVE these and have been using them since. The others are sitting in our cupboard, waiting for the next garage sale.
it worksOctober 18, 2008 everything works great accept for its a little hard to screw back on compare to the other brands. but for how much it cost, not really a problem.
great alternative to plasticOctober 18, 2008 This water bottle is perfect for having handy on my desk at work for filling from the water cooler. I must admit, the color is the real reason I bought it, but the mouthpiece works well and is still large enough to fill from a tap.
