Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lixit Waterboy Travel Water Bowl
Customer Review: Finally a bowl that works
Summary: 5 Stars
When you use the product as the instructions state, it works great. I'm a dog walker and have been using a WaterBoy for 2 years now and love it as do all the dogs that I walk. You are supposed to lay the product flat and not turn it end over end. The low profile design prevents the product from spilling even on VERY rough roads. If used properly like the instructions say (its kinda fool-proof and fairly straight forward), it doesn't spill or flip over. Some people on here think you have to stand it up while driving but just lay it flat and it works! Several clients of mine have already bought this product and they love it too.Customer Review: Frustrating for big tongues!!

I thought I was going to love this product, that it was a great idea...but my small german shepherd pawed and pawed at this. The small amount of water it provided only seemed to frustrate her. The pawing lead to the blue plastic cracking and breaking. Also, when she pawed it over, it did spill (she got the water then!) Not recommended for big smart dogs!Customer Review: Good for all size dogs
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product. Not only is it great for travel without spills, both my 40 lb. dog and my 80 lb. dog prefer it to larger water pans. The water seems to stay fresher. I bought a second one so I can have one in the house and one in the car.Customer Review: Great Product

This water bowl is amazing. Our puppy was flipping every other bowl we tried. It's great in a crate, on the floor and even for traveling...if you have a dog, get one of these.Customer Review: Great product but needs better quality control--check for loose O-ring
Summary: 4 Stars
I now own 3 Lixit Waterboys. The first two work as advertised, almost like magic. No splashes, no spills, even in a joltin' Jeep Wrangler. I use the second one upstairs as a "carpet-friendly" water bowl so that my aging mutt doesn't have to navigate the stairs just to have a drink.
Today I bought a third one for the RV. The third one doesn't work at all. It leaks, splashes, and spills like crazy. It's just as bad a standard dog bowl. As near as I can tell, the problem is that the O-ring between the "jug" and the "cup" is loose / too large and isn't providing the seal needed for the no-splash mojo. I'll be returning it tomorrow. The two that work both have a snug O-ring, so I now know to look for that when buying a Waterboy.
I'm surprised that Lixit doesn't have better quality control for this clever product, given the well-deserved positive reputation of the Lixit faucet dog waterer. Especially considering that it's $10 - $15 for a plastic jug, cup, and O-ring.
It is far too easy to cross-thread the cup on the jug, which could also lead to the Waterboy not working correctly; I have always been careful to avoid cross-threading the cup, but it requires full attention to avoid it.
