Pogo BPA-Free Plastic Water Bottle with Flip Straw

Great bottle design. Very handheld and portable. The reason I took away 1 star is because it requires a lot of suction for the liquid to come through the straw. Initially, I thought it was because the straw was nearly touching the bottom of the bottle, so I snipped the top a little. That helped only a smidge. After looking and looking, we found the culprit. There's a little rubber seal that sits under the flip straw and it's sealed so tightly that it doesn't allow for any air to pass through to make the liquid come through the straw easily. To combat that, I just twist the cap a little to allow for air. Tried taking the seal out and it worked fine, but if your bottle tips, the liquid is coming out, so I just put it back in. Overall, it's a great bottle and I'm happy with the purchase for the price. PS - it was really hard to write a post about a straw without using the word "sucking." Way to go, me!

I really like this water bottle, what makes it stand out is that it doesn't ever leak, and it's pretty easy to keep in good shape. My motto is to replace the water inside it, if it's been 24 hours. So far that has kept any grime from getting into the bottle. Also you can keep it empty, while unscrewed, and let room air naturally dry out any moisture.So what is it missing? Well the little hook is no more thicker than the smaller sized bottles, I think it will tear maybe in a year or so. The other gripe is the straw/enclosure doesn't seem to be resilient enough for anything other than cold water. However.. I only bought it for water.. so I guess I'll give them that one.

Easier to drink the fuller it is. It takes some sucking power to get a drink, but this is due to size of the bottle and straw. I don't believe this is an issue that can be resolved when considering the size of this bottle but something to consider. This bottle is excellent for those that don't have time to continually refill a bottle and want to keep track of daily intake. It has an air release that opens when you pull on the mouth piece to make drinking easier. I filled it, shook it, and set it on it's side and it doesn't leak. I have washed the bottle twice on the lower rack of my dishwasher (since it does not fit on the top) and it held up just fine! There is no marking to know exactly where the 40oz is, so with some measuring it is when the bottle is completely full. I only paid $9 for this bottle so it was a great deal.

I have purchased 5 of these water bottles. We have bought others, but what we like about these is that the water comes out smoothly without fighting against the air going in..if that makes sense. Anyway, because it has a straw inside which works so well I can drink the entire bottle rather quickly which is important for those of us trying to find a way to force down extra water on a daily basis!

Very easy to clean. Wide straw perfect for drinking large amounts of water or a thick smoothie or milkshake. Completely leak proof. Soft rubber ring makes it comfortable to carry for long walks and hikes. Forty ounces. I am ordering another one for my desk at work. This size is so hard to find. I can't think of anything I could improve on. Love it!

So far so good. I kind of wish that they offered a third option for a lid. One that is a standard threaded cap or lid that does nothing more than cover the bottle. like you find on Nalgene bottles of all sizes. The 40 ounce (1.2L) (1200ml) is just the right size. So far, I'm liking it a lot. Nice shape. Easy to hold and not likely to slip out of your hand. Put me down for two thumbs up!

Straw was too long, I had to cut it shorter so it actually worked. And the angle that the straw goes is opposite of how you tip the bottle to drink from it...you tip it towards your mouth to drink, and the straw is now on the far side, possibly out of the liquid. Also, doesn't fit into car drink holders.

Do not believe this is leak proof!!!! it is easy to unclip its self. I shut it and put in my purse, it rubbed against something, unclipped and got water everywhere!!!!!! Ruined my phone. I had to get a new iphone!!!! this water bottle cost me 100s of dollars.
