BOTTLED JOY 1 Gallon Water Bottle, BPA Free Large Water Bottle Hydration with Motivational Time Marker Reminder Leak-Proof Drinking Big Water Jug for Camping Sports Workouts and Outdoor Activity

I bought this bottle in the hopes that I would drink more water. I have only had it for a few days, but so far, so good. The mouth of the bottle is wide enough that you can add ice to it. The ice will melt fairly quickly though, so if you want it to stay really cold, you would have to add a lot of ice and let it melt throughout the day. Also, once you add the water (and ice) the bottle might be a bit heavy for those of you who have problems with your hands/wrists. The mouth of the bottle is so big that if you tried to drink directly from it you might get more on you than in you - if you're as accident prone as I am. I pour water into my cute porcelain cup throughout the day, but keep the bottle next to me as a reminder to drink. You might have to make mental note of when you started drinking if you want to keep a time tab. It starts at 7 AM and I am in deep sleep at that time. I just drink the whole bottle throughout the day, so I don't pay attention to the time reference on the bottle. I have received many compliments on it. Having the bottle has helped me with drinking lots of water and not adding the flavorings to my water (like Crystal Light). Also I have cut down tremendously on diet soda too. I think I might try adding lime to the water. I don't know why I haven't yet. I would definitely recommend this to anyone trying to drink more water, that needs a constant reminder. All you need is that visual. It feels good to see an empty bottle by the end of the day.

I would have given it more stars had it but been falsely advertised as BPA free. This product is made with #7 plastic, which should be avoided for consumption with food or water.

Great bottle but I'm giving it 1 star for the false statements. It's made of plastic 7, which contains BPA. They also provide a card in the bottle stating that if you leave a 5 star review they'll refund your purchase. Kind of dishonest if you ask me.

Just received the bottle. The sticker that came on the bottle raised my suspicions. After research and uncovering this amazon review; I will be returning immediately. Here is the review: "Was really looking forward to receiving this bottle. It just arrived, and as soon as I opened the package, I checked the plastic type on the bottom. For those of you concerned about these things, this is plastic #7 which is used as a group category for all polycarbonate or "other" plastics. BPA is found in polycarbonate. Some water bottles and food containers made with #7 plastics are marketed as non-leaching but trace amounts of BPA can still leach into your food from this type of plastic, especially when heated. This company clearly markets this bottle as BPA-free, both on Amazon and on the packaging it arrived in, but they can't even know what plastic is in this. I'll be returning this asap and letting Amazon know about the dangerous false claim in the marketing of this product."

Keeping track of how much water you have consumed has never been easier than with this 1 gallon water bottle. Many studies support American is dehydrated. When you think about it water is the second most important item you consume with oxygen being the first. This bottle supports you to keep you going at your maximum. I have studied water for over 40 years and been distilling all the water I and my family drink.This bottle It is sturdy, leak proof and well balanced whether full or with less water in it. Solid throughout. I have keep up my water consumption since purchasing this very handy bottle and each of our family keeps an eye on each other to encourage healthy consumption. I highly recommend this product to everyone and I believe you too will be glad you did.

Great quality! (Read till the end for story time.) This bottle is everything I hoped it would be & more. The top unscrews for easy cleaning & filling, I love that it flips open vs a sports top because that’s much easier to clean as well. I also love the little pop of blue color. It’s very easy to hold & carry. It has a nice thick handle on the side as well as a thick removable strap attached to the lid. I do wish the measurement lines went all the way up to the gallon mark, it stops counting at 100oz, but it works just as well. Fill it almost all the way to the top & there’s your gallon. My favorite thing about this bottle is the quality in general. The plastic is nice & thick. I didn’t even realize how great the quality is until I dropped it! I dropped it on pavement, completely full, so it was really heavy. I expected the whole thing to crack right open as soon as it hit, but it didn’t! It scuffed quite a bit, but that’s it! I’m very impressed. I would absolutely but this again & highly recommend!

I bought this because my wife told me that Beyonce drinks a gallon of water a day. So being the couple that we are we challenged each other to drink a gallon a water a day to see if there were any results and if we could do it to stay healthy. I do believe I drink close to a gallon a day anyways so the bottle is a win win. Secondary use for the bottle will be to keep water for my dog. Some unofficial dog parks I have been to don't have a lot of water options for the dogs and my dog is a drinker. I plan to use this gallon container to easily pour cold water for him and other dogs in the warmer weather. I think this bottle will hold up its made of a sturdy construction and didn't have any bad plastic smells or anything like that. The seal under the cap was strong and easy to clean. I like the lanyard option as well and it comes off easily too. For my family and household this gallon will be used quite a bit and is a win win for humans and dogs.

No way to clean the bottom, and only hand wash
