Quick Review: Bobble water bottle

I, like most people find reviews a bit tedious. You never know how biased internet reviews are and they end up being too long. What you need is a simple review that gives you pros and cons and a final verdict.

Here's my first review. I received a bobble water bottle for Christmas 2010:

PROS

• Looks good
• Filters water
• Small & light

CONS

• Filter makes annoying loud hissing sound every time to take a drink
• Plastic is "too hard" when you need to squeeze it for water
• If you squeeze the plastic too hard (easy to do) the bottle deforms permanently 
• High chance of losing the lid as it is not attached to the bottle
• Expensive filters - albeit after 1000 refills

Overall

5/10 - Good design, but most work places have filtered water anyway and the bottle is difficult to drink from in a hot desk environment because of the hissing noise and difficulty in squeezing the bottle. A cheap 1L volvic bottle would do the same job - only buy this if you need to actually filter your water.
