Very satisfied customerOctober 24, 2008 I'm loving this stainless steel water container (we bought two). They work great. Wash with baking soda to eliminate metallic taste/smell. I reviewed them on my non-commercial site, Beat of Hawaii Dot Com.
Steel Water BottleOctober 24, 2008 This product I must say was one the first online product purchase in my life where I was not satisfied. I passed up the Klean Kanteen brand and chose the New Wave instead because of price. When the bottle arrived, there was some kind of crusty material on the inside that appeared to be a manufacturing flaw of corrosion (yes, stainless steel can "rust"). I recieved a replacement in the mail and it had the same problem, so I kept the first one, sanded the interior with 320 grit wet/dry paper and steel wool and sent the second back. The manufacturer e-mailed me and said "contact the seller". Never again.
Metallic taste and odor!October 10, 2008 I'm surprised that other reviewers find this product acceptable. The bottles left a terrible metallic taste and odor in the water. Even after multiple washings with soap as well as vinegar, the bad taste and odor were there. I even tried putting bottled water in them...just to see if it was my city's tap water that was leaving the metallic taste. It didn't matter. They were unusable and I returned them. Try Klean Kanteens--they are a little more expensive but better quality and, best of all, don't taint the taste of your water!
It is OKOctober 8, 2008 Bottle is OK overall nothing exclusive. one thing that I do not like is CAP is also steel that makes scratchy sound but may be it is to avoide plastic or rubber.
Delivery was quick and no issues with it.
Bad QualityOctober 1, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Bought this unit knowing it was made in China. Broke within 3 uses as the top is very cheap and Amazon would not take it back.
