Nubo 57-1432 Reusable Filter Water Bottle

Slow to filter, but the filter is very good - great tasting water.

I bought a Nubo bottle several weeks ago with a few doubts in mind, but after using it for a little over 3 weeks, I have to say I'm glad I took the chance with this one. I drink water like it's going out of style, so everyone that knows me personally has always seen me with at least 2 or 3 bottles of water. Since tap water has become a bit hard for me to stomach these past couple of years, bottled water or filtered water from the fridge door were the only sources I'd drink from. This bottle makes it incredibly easy on me now that I don't have to worry about losing backpack or cooler space. It makes most water from the fountain or the tap taste a lot better than straight from the faucet. (I can't say that all of the water will taste better, since I did have one instance with water from a particular state that tasted odd no matter what... but the bottle still made it easier for me to stomach without the "extra" stuff from the pipelines.)My only true complaint is that the Nubo bottle holds a few ounces less than a normal bottle of water due to the filter, and I do kind of wish they had other larger sizes available for H2O guzzlers like myself. Other than that, filling it up is very simple, and drinking out of it is so much better than the filter bottles I've dealt with in the past. Highly recommend this for those picky about the taste of water and don't like fighting with filter straws.

I REALLY wanted to like this water bottle. It was the only bottle that didn't require me to suck like a mad woman to get some water. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out so well. I had to shake the filter really hard for 5 minutes every time I wanted water... The bottle is pretty small, so I was TRYING to refill it quite frequently. Unfortunately, the problems didn't end once I had shaken the bottle into submission. There are holes on the top lip of the filter that catches onto the bottom lip of the water bottle to keep it from falling in- If you put more than 5 drops of water into the filter at once, the water overflows into the holes, which overflows into the bottle. This means that you're getting mostly unfiltered water in the bottle. If you do have the patience the remove the bottle from the faucet every 5 drops and wait for them to filter through before you put it back under, you'll get a full bottle of filtered water somewhere around the time you're dying of thirst. This bottle is going back immediately. I do NOT recommend purchasing it.

I wanted a bottle to improve the taste of the tapwater at work for drinking at my desk. I bought the Nubo, Hydros and Oko bottles. Of the three, the Nubo was the best.The Oko is quite heavy (top heavy, in fact, because the bottle itself is thin plastic but the filter is heavy) and not particularly attractive. It improved the flavor of the water nicely, but it requires squeezing or sucking fairly hard to get the water. Maybe the heavy-duty filter is better for when the water contains harmful bacteria, but for desk drinking it's not the one.The Hydros bottle is nicer looking, although the product I received was different from the product pictured on the website and in the video. You don't screw the top on after filling the way the video makes it look - you have to palm it on while preventing the rest of the top apparatus from turning, which is difficult and fussy. The side-fill doesn't work great - it needs to be on a particular angle to flow quickly enough to not have to stop and start. The flow while filling has to be quite slow even when filling from the top. The taste of the water was least improved of all three. The lid doesn't seal very well - you could not throw the bottle in a bag and be confident it won't leak. I like the social welfare mission of the company but the bottle's just okay.The Nubo is a bit less attractive than the Hydros but more attractive than the Oko. It has the quickest fill and the most improved taste. Both caps screw on securely and haven't leaked yet. It's easy to fill and easy to drink from. Also the least expensive of the three. Highly recommended!

I bought two of these for me and my cousin before traveling for two months. The design is nice, and I like the idea, but as with most of these things it seems, it leaks. The filter takes too long for the water to go through, so it's a bit of a pain to refilled. But my big problem was that the bottom cap leaked for both bottles, with or without the filter in. It leaked all over my bag several times, so you really cannot travel with this. Also, if I left it sitting even upright, it would leak all over me when I would drink out of it. Since I was traveling for two months after I bought it, I'm unable to return it. Don't bother with this product.

I was hoping I would like this water bottle despite the mixed reviews because it's the only one I've found that has a filter that's not attached to a straw. Unfortunately, the bottom seal leaks water every time I take a drink. In addition, you have to fill it very slowly through the filter or water will spill over the sides, so it takes too long to fill it up. The makers of this bottle have a really good idea for the design, but it needs work. If the company comes out with a second generation of the bottle with the issues fixed, I will definitely buy it. The filter does make good-tasting water.

I like this product and its unique design. Filling it from the bottom allows me to put ice in it as well as not have to squeeze to drink the water! I love that part! My only complaint...I received a new filter from the company and it didn't want to filter well... the water moved very slowly from the filter, which made filling it very slow. The company offered to replace it, but by that time, I stopped using it and starting using another bottle. I do recommend this bottle... much better than the squeeze-to-drink type.

The bottom keeps leaking.

Great bottle! Easy to use!

My tap water reallly tastes bad and I see no difference with this bottle.
