CamelBak eddy+ Water Filter Water Bottle by LifeStraw Integrated 2-Stage Filter Straw - For Hiking, Backpacking, Travel, and Emergency Preparedness

I travel quite a bit to places where the water quality can be sketchy, and don't love using bottled water due to the one-time use of plastic. This gives me clean water, and a clean conscience.

I purchased this water bottle to take on a trip to the Bahamas. Even though the tap water is considered safe to drink, I was concerned that there might be a microorganism that my body would have a hard time combatting. I certainly didn’t want to spend my vacation in the toilet—so long story short, the filter works. The downside is the effort required to get the water through the filter. This is a minor inconvenience in regard to the big picture. If you are not sure of the water quality this water bottle and filter can help give you a peace of mind so that you can enjoy your time visiting. I do recommend this product.

I travel pretty frequently both domestically and internationally. I don't trust hotel water and also don't like spending money on water or buying single-use bottles when I don't have to. So I always bring a filter bottle with me benefiting both the environment and my wallet. I've traditionally used a 26oz bottle from a competing brand but seeing this product on sale, I figured I'd give it a try. After traveling a few times I've found it easy to fill, is dishwasher safe, doesn't spill (which is important for bringing in the side of my backpack) and is the right size to fit in standard cup holders. What's more, it holds 32oz compare to my previous 26oz bottle, which is a nice little upgrade. The only downside I've encountered is that it requires a little bit more effort when sucking water from the straw on this bottle versus the prior product I used. It's not enough to stop me using the bottle, or even to detract from it in a major way, but ease of use is certainly impacted. I'd like to think that this is the result of a stronger filter which necessitates more force, but I have no way of verifying if this is true. Overall it's a great bottle, a good size, and I'll continue using it for my travels.

Bought to take on my work trips when I need to stay long periods of time in Hotels. The hotels awalys charged $2-$5 just for a single water bottle, and I got tired of having to buy water everyday just to be hydrated. Now I just use this bottle to refill from the sink and never have to worry about going thirsty again!Only cons are that it's pretty tough to get the water through the "straw" you need to suck pretty hard, and it does reach low enough in the bottle to get all the water so I have to refill it more often even though there's still quite a bit of water left at the bottom.Over all though, definitely love this thing

I believe it works because I have suffered from tap water in South America in the past and was fine on this trip; it does require the user to suck pretty hard and does not hold a super huge volume of water- it’s better than the alternative so A+ for thatTastes good and cleans easily

Clean filter = clean water

Difficult to use when drinking water. Not easy to carry. Would not order again.

I travel a lot for work and stay in hotels. I always used to go buy bottled water for my stays, even though the water in the rooms are safe to drink. However, bought this and now I can have filtered water wherever I am. Worth it.
