Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fit & Fresh LivPURE Filtered Water BottleCustomer Review: Appreciate the effort, but overall poorly executed design (Comparison to: Bobble bottle) Summary: 2 Stars
I have both the LivPure and Bobble bottle and a ruler here in front of me while writing this review. I purchased this bottle at my local grocery store as an additional filtered water bottle and I will be returning it. Because of this, I cannot speak to the burst of air that comes before you drink that so many other reviewers have attested to. What I *can* tell you that when the Bobble bottle is tipped upside down first, it does not do this: Bobble BPA Free Water Bottle, 18.5 Ounce I have owned a Bobble bottle for about six months now and much prefer this product it. Here are some pros/cons of the LivPure bottle so that you can make your own determination as to whether it's for you.
Fit&Fresh "LivPure" Water Bottle
(-) is not BPA-free (makes no claims, at least)
(-) is not Phthalate-free (makes no claims, at least)
(-) bottom of bottle is slightly rounded, not entirely flat; wobbles slightly when put on table
(-) unit too tall; when empty, it tips easily and feels lop-sided
(-) no cap for mouthpiece to keep it clean. Ew.
(-) mouthpiece not replaceable (*it is with the Bobble)
(-) inside filter doesn't seat easily/perfectly on its own (other users have reported leaks when O-ring slips or isn't seated properly
(-) design not curvy enough to make it easier to hold in hand (Bobble is curvier)
(-) material on lower half of unit is slippery (but so is Bobble's)
Pros:
(+) mouthpiece is molded to fit the lips (it fits my lips, at least)
(+) mouthpiece is protected by the curved-top design, so it won't break off easily
(+) top piece of unit has rubber grip material on outside
(+) good, slim profile for fit in cup holders/water bottle slings (~2-3/4") (~1/8" slimmer than Bobble)
Comparison of the material of the "LivPure" vs. Bobble:
Where the Bobble bottle plastic is more like a (much) harder version of regular water bottle you'd buy in a vending machine (like Dasani), the "LivPure" bottle is made of a molded plastic. There are actually two "seams" on the sides of the bottle, much like you would see in a cheap bottle you'd buy at Walmart or a dollar store. The plastic is the kind that has an almost shiny exterior and slighly oily finish. It is so cheaply molded that the bottom is rounded and does not sit flat on the table, a very poorly executed design.
