UVBRITEGo Self-Cleaning UV Water Bottle - 18.6 oz Insulated Stainless-Steel Rechargeable & Reusable Purifying Bottle - Sterilization & Travel-Friendly - BPA Free - Leakproof with Safety Lock (Black)

I purchased this item new and it worked great for about 6 months. Now it is not functioning properly and, even though the packaging clearly states that it comes with a 1-year limited warranty, the manufacturer refuses to help.What a shame.

My main complain about this product and is why it was deducted 1 star ​is it never came with a USB type c charging cable so I had "borrow" someone else's cable to charge it, So if you don't have a cable be prepared to purchase one.The bottle itself is a nice shade of black, I've been trying so hard to keep this one from scuffing, it's fallen on cement floor once with very minimal damage.The bottle neck is small compared to most bottles so you'll need smaller icecubes to fit inside.​Now for the Uv light, it requires the cap to be screwed on tightly to activate but I did do a quick test by activating the switch and seeing if it turns on and it does.Other then the few issues, I do recommend the bottle tho I wish I had a bigger version.

There isn't anything that I'm not happy about with this bottle! I have told my friends and family about it. It fits comfortably in my hand while walking to work. I enjoy the tap water being clean tasting. It keeps it cold, I can add ice cubes to the water before bed and they are still the morning. And it looks great!

The most important for users to know, "Is it working?" There is no way to test the water to see if all these so-called bacteria are being destroyed. This is not a question of UV rays killing bacteria, scientifically we know that to be true, but how do we know that these gadgets are actually working? Well we don't, we have to take the word of the manufacturer. Also, most modern cities have water purifying plants that keep contaminates and bacteria below 250 ppm. Which is the save drinking levels for humans. I could see this being used by hikers and campers, but the main issue still needs to be addressed. In the end as far as I am concerned it’s a gaget that has no place in my home. OR go out and buy a mycroscpe to test the water. :-)

This bottle is well built, well insulated and absolutely leek proof. I have traveled with it twice now, once on a weeklong camping trip and once on a weekend trip to a major city. Despite my first one being defective, their customer service department replaced the item promptly. My only gripe is the tolerance of the safety switch you have to have the cap screwed on just enough for the product to work. Too tight and it wont work too loose and it wont work. It takes a few tries to find the sweet spot. Fix that problem and they have a perfect product.

It’s an OK UV bottle. Because it’s an insulated bottle, it will keep my room temperature tap water a constant temperature for six hours which isn’t great as I prefer cold drinking water. With the LARQ model which isn’t insulated, the water inside will take on my bedroom temperature which I have an air conditioned cold room thus the water is cold.
