Sports reviews of New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Bottle (1-Liter)
Customer Review: Too many little problems
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
This isn't a very well-designed water bottle. I bought it for my wife when she needed a new one, and after she complained about it for a week, I traded with her so I could use it for a couple days. I like that it's steel, I like the capacity, I like that it fits in most cupholders... but there are a lot of little problems with it that make it hard to use.
First, although 'large capacity' and 'fits in cupholders' are pros, when you put them together, you get a water bottle that falls out of things a lot, because it's too tall and top-heavy when full. It kept falling out of the cupholder in my Jeep on the way to work, and it fell out of the bottle holder in my bag a couple times as I was walking. So... the shape has advantages but is also kind of a problem.
Second, I know a bunch of people have commented on this, but I'll repeat that the nipple just doesn't work. Even if I carefully align it so that the airhole is pointing up, it's still hard to get good flow of water. Sure, I could practice and work around this, but why should I have to?
Third, there's a plastic cap over the nipple, which is good for keeping it clean, but I like to be able to dangle the water bottle by hooking my finger through the strap. I do this all the time with other water bottles when I've got my hands mostly full. But with this water bottle, the cap just pops off, so if you try to carry it by the strap, you drop it.
Water bottles are not cutting-edge technology. They should just work. This one has too many usability issues. They are all minor, but given the relatively low cost of a new water bottle, it's totally worth it to me to buy a different one that doesn't have any little problems.
Customer Review: Useless

After only a year of normal use, my stainless steel bottle has a crack near the bottom and now leaks. I would have thought the bottle would have held up better than this.Customer Review: Can't handle cold water at all...
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I bought a couple of these for my husband to use on his bicycle instead of using plastic bottles. The theory of the design is great... execution... not so great.
The quality of the stainless steel is lower than many other bottles. They are much thinner steel which causes the bottles to have issues with cold expansion.
I put ice water in the bottle and the mouth of bottle expands to the point where the cap doesn't stay on. It just pulls right off.
The threads of the screw top are not deep enough or enough period. It needs to have at least 1-2 more threads for the cap to go on tightly. It just spins loose if you try to tighten it. So it leaks.
Not using cool/cold water in the bottle just isn't an option in Texas.
I also bought the 12oz bottles which have the same thread and bottle opening... same problems.
Save your money and just buy a Klean Kanteen. I've had absolutely no problems with our KK bottles at all.
Customer Review: Bought 2 and BOTH BROKE! See images.

I dropped mine and a crack appeared near the bottom and the bottle leaked from then on - useless now. I also dropped my second one and the same thing happened. Yes, I dropped them -- but should they really break? I own 3 other stainless steel bottles from the same company - the little 12 oz. and two 40 oz. bottles. I've dropped all of them - especially the 40 ozers while totally full and they didn't break. Sure, they're dented like crazy from multiple drops, but they're still intact and I love them (see images). They don't have those ridges, and I wonder if that causes some sort of weakness. I wish I hadn't bought this 1-liter bottle. I like this size, so tonight I'm buying the Klean Kanteen 27 ozer. Perhaps I'll write a review of that one after I've had it for awhile.Customer Review: Disappointing
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I purchased this water bottle to replace all the plastic ones I had been using. The first one I received, I quickly realized it was cracked and leaking. I was able to replace it without a problem, but the next one I received the nozzle to drink out of was even harder to open than the previous one. I constantly struggled with it, but didn't want to have to return it again. I stuck with it and mostly would unscrew the top and drink out of it that way. One day, about 7 months after owning it, the top nozzle broke so I happily tossed it since it was nothing but trouble since I bought it! Noticing the other reviews, it appears that I may have received the two defective ones, but I would not recommend this product.
