squishykins

...or 3 for €15.

https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/818926



There's also a fiver delivery charge on top, but considering how expensive these bottles normally are, it's still pretty good!

In the interest of openness, people should know that if I get 3 people to buy this deal through this link, then I get my one for free. Just an offer that LivingSocial do. If that's not ok, then could a mod take it down please?

Keep waiting for them to drop in price in Homebase, but don't think I've seen them under €12 each.

I used them. They are hard to drink from.

They have a porous stone type filter . You have to suck like a MF to get a drink.

I have one. Biggest flaw is the water leaks from the lid. Can't really carry it around in a bag. Doesn't bother me as I only use it in the gym or long drives.

Another thing people complain about is the water is a bit hard to get out. This is probably because of the filter slowing down the flow. People compare it to a standard sports top. Again doesn't bother me as I dont gulp the water.

Safe yes. I had one before but lost it. I left it after me some place or another. They are handy as the bottle is good quality and will last. The water is no bother to get out all you do is squeeze the plastic like you would with a sports bottle its true you cant really suck the water out though. What annoys me is that after you drink some the bottle makes noise as air enters the bottle replacing the liquid you drank and its quite noisy so not ideal for lecture halls or the library (my main uses). Other than that they are good and quite expensive normally. Not sure if this is a bargain because the deal doesnt say what size they are and as far as I can remember the small ones are around the 7 or 8 euro mark and then the larger ones are a bit more.

Also filter needs to be replaced after 300 fills.
The way the bottle ends up after 300 fills, you're as well to buy a new bottle and filter.

is this the bobble brand?

I got one last year through grabone, it was an absolute pain in the ass to drink from.
It's only a 500ml bottle but by the time you suck it and squeeze it for every drink you want it feels like more effort than drinking 2 litres.
Also the plastic bottle gets dented and worn really easily from all the squeezing.
I'm waiting for these to go on offer http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/9096888/Trail/searchtext%3EBRITA+BOTTLE.htm they seem like a far superior option.

Alright, sorry about that. I've had these bottles before and I like them, and considering I've paid more for a water bottle with no filter, I think it's pretty good

Ya but the thing is most people wont need 2 or 3 of these. One would be plenty, not much of a bargain if you buy 3 and only use one, unless you give them away as presents or keep on them.

The filter needs to be replaced every 300 fills. The state that the bottle will be in though, means that you'd generally buy a new bottle with filter instead.
So in a few months time youd use the other one

I get you, me and my sisters are splitting these

We have a couple of these, my daughter has a small one and I have the one litre version-got them for 5 and 6 pound in Asda, replacement filters are 4 pound each. They are a great job, definitely makes a difference to the water, and as is said about you squeeze the bottle rather than trying to suck

nowuckenfurries

I order from these guys http://www.smallchanges.ie/collections/bobble-bottles

They sell the genuine Bobble brand (not like the one in the deal) along with other cool eco goods!

I'd prefer to support an Irish retailer too

Tabitharose

I have one, haven't used the one on the amazon link, but it looks better to me. These aren't the easiest to drink from, as others have said. Got mine in Homestore & More when they'd a 3 for 2 deal on in the kitchen area. I don't hate mine enough to bin it but I will most likely replace it with another brand when it gets to the stage of needing replacement.

It doesn't work...

Thank you good Sir.

dinneenp

I have one of these and like them.

It doesn't filter your water but you don't need to take lid off and pull nozzel up to drink so I find them handy.

you can get the 1 litre version for an extra euro than the 750ml one.

padocon

The Brita reviews arent the best either with people complaining they leak and tbh changing that filter weekly would be a huge pain!
