LARQ Bottle Movement PureVis 32 oz- Lightweight Self-Cleaning and Non-Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with UV Water Purifier | Reusable & Travel Friendly, 1-Year Warranty, Black/Onyx

I gave this to my husband for a Christmas gift. He never washes his water bottles, so I figured this one would fit the bill for his water bottle requirements AND keep germs at bay so he can keep chugging. He thinks the self cleaning technology is really cool, and he made a joke about having to clean his water bottle and how that's a first world problem. LolThe slim design fits in his car cup holder, and the fact that there is no annoying straw makes my husband happy. I'm happier knowing that he isn't going to get sick from drinking from the same water bottle for months without washing it! Win-Win

The media could not be loaded. The water bottle so far seems exactly as advertised and wonderful. I love having clean tap water that doesn’t taste like it came from the tap. I also like knowing that the added bacteria and viruses that the tap doesn’t filter out, particularly well, are taken care of. There is no smell that I noticed in the bottle nor the water that comes from it post-purification. The size of a bottle is 32 ounces in my model, and it is the perfect size for at-home water usage. I have not noticed any sweating nor leaking once the lid is screwed on tight. To wash the bottle, you can remove the rubber sleeve, and it is a very easy process to clean it beyond the UV lighting. Do not stick it in the dishwasher. This is not recommended nor safe. It says it can handle other beverages that are cold, but that will require more frequent cleaning, and only water is recommended. The bottle is very easy to use and only requires a 4 to 5-hour charge with the included micro USB cable. My only complaint would be that it isn’t USB-C nor is there an option to purchase a USB-C lid. This is clearly marked in the listing, but I still wish this was considered since it’s 2024.Overall, this is an excellent bottle for anyone needing basic purification from bacteria and viruses. If you plan to use this outdoors, just remember that it will not keep cold beverages cold nor can it handle hot beverages. The sizing is perfect, and it fits in cupholders wonderfully in my experience. The added grip is also much needed for a Butterfingers like me. Would recommend very much!

This is a great idea for a product and Larq obviously put a lot of effort into it. These are the most stylish water bottles I've ever seen--in all the various color combinations between the bottle itself and the non-slip sleeve. It's also very easy to use, with a simple and informative "user interface" of multi-color LEDs.Some things to be aware of:1) Like all UV water purifiers, you shouldn't use it with turbid water--it's essential the UV-C rays be able to penetrate the water throughout the bottle to disinfect it properly.2) The top cap, which contains the electronics, the UV emitter LED and the rechargeable Lithium battery is *not* water proof, so when you wash the bottle, you can't really submerge or wash the cap conventionally. I decided to use alcohol wipes on mine, as alcohol kills germs and evaporates quickly.3) You should always avoid directly viewing UV light, as it can damage your eyes. To that end, the cap has a safety feature such that when you remove the cap from the bottle, the power level to the UV LED is reduced. This feature, though, works off of a light sensor--if the cap is removed from the bottle, exposing the electronics to ambient light, the safety is activated. Unfortunately this approach is not the most reliable in that if you take the cap off in subdued light or darkness, the sensor won't detect the cap is exposed and the LED will continue to operate at full power.I'd rather have seen a mechanical switch or magnetic sensor which would insure that no matter the ambient conditions, the safety would always activate if the cap is removed from the bottle.I glad this unit uses a standard Micro-USB charging port compared to some similar products which use proprietary charging connectors/cables--that way it is easy to replace a lost, worn out or damaged cable. I would however, have liked to have seen included an attached protective cap which could be snapped into the USB charging port to protect it against bad weather, drops into puddles/creeks, or entry of foreign debris which can often happen during outdoor activities.I do agree with other reviewers, the rolled edge on the bottle is not a great idea, however I've had other bottles with rolled edges over the years and all I did was soak the top of the bottle in bleach for a short while when it was time to clean them. At least the cap covers the rolled edge, so the edge is not likely going to get debris in it when you are carrying the bottle around.As for the people complaining that is has a Micro-USB charging port instead of USB-C--come on, you've got to be kidding!Like most people, I've got scores of products in my home, car and gear which use Micro-USB charging ports (for example--aside from cell phones--digital cameras, e-readers, portable air compressor, handheld trail GPS, security cameras, test equipment, solar-power devices, LED flashlights, battery chargers, music players, internet radio, walkie-talkies, etc., etc.), along with dozens of Micro-USB cables that were included with them. I currently have exactly two devices with USB-C. I bought a handful of micro-USB to USB-C adapters for them.There is no advantage to using a USB-C connector on a non-data product and Micro-USB cables are cheaper and more readily available (supermarkets, gas stations, convenience stores--just about everywhere) since they are still the charging port used on the vast majority of cell phones in the entire world and will be for years to come--not everybody replaces their phone whenever a new model is released...

It's worth the hype. I first saw this water bottle on Shark Tank. It is pricey, but it's nice. I've had this for a few days now, and I cannot taste a difference between this water or my Berkey Filtered water. Personally, I wish there was a handle. I can be a bit clumsy when holding the bottle, but the rubber shells keep its safe from dings. It's really awesome for travel, fits in the cup holder nicely, but not a hiking bottle.

Bought this because I loved the idea of the self sanitizing capability. Loaded in up this morning with ice and a cold drink. Bottle was immediately ice cold to the touch and started sweating which told me right me off it isn’t insulated well. Inside in AC the ice lasted less than two hours. At three hours drink was basically room temp.Great idea. Horrible execution. Will be returning asap. Buyer beware.
