LARQ Bottle PureVis 17 oz - Self-Cleaning and Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with UV Water Purifier and Award-winning Design | Reusable & Travel Friendly, Obsidian Black

We wanted to get a self cleaning UV filtered bottle for our Costa Rica vacation as recommended by our Travel doctor due to water sanitization concerns in Costa Rica and this was bang on - value for money. CR doesn't have portable water everywhere and in some national parks you cannot carry plastic bottles. So this was a life savior. We bought 2 of these and just kept filling it with water whenever we ran out. Worry free. The only catch is these do not have any holders to carry easily, so we got some silicone rings with carabiners to attach them to our backpacks and that worked (though the carabiners and silicone ring broke eventually). Maybe we will research and get better quality holders for next time. Otherwise - the bottle itself was awesome. We had a 1 month vacation and somehow just 1 charge lasted the entire trip. Highly recommended.

This is are second one..We still have the first one but it was the smallest one . We fill large bottles up every day and keep them cold in the fridge. If you just want to bring one larq with it also stays cold..And the quality is outstanding. We love them. We had very bad tasting water and this made it taste great . It doesn't smell and easy to hold. The smaller one is good for travel . These also saved a lot of money because we didn't have to buy bottled water.

Love my larq UV bottle.It works!!! The water it purifies is delicious!I do wish it had loop or handle of some kind, but NOT a deal breaker.

The bottle is heavy and not easy to carry around, other than that the system is good. Just to heavy for everyday use, if you are thinking about buying one, consider the heaviness and consider looking for other systems first.Judi

Perfect for what I was looking for

The media could not be loaded. A family member ordered one, it worked fine for about a month on the initial charge. One day, while initiating a normal cleaning cycle with the cap on the bottle, the light ring turned orange. I initially thought it was low on battery, so I charge it. It turned solid green relatively quickly, indicating a full charge. We attempted to use it again, and it worked fine. However, when attempting to use it again later the same day, the cap turned orange again. Without reading the manual, I thought it was indicating low battery again, so I plugged it in. It turned solid green after only a few minutes. I couldn't get it to work again, it was always the orange light, so we returned that one to Amazon and order a new one. This one was shipped directly from LARQ, costs $9.95 in shipping. I just received the new unit today, after reading the manual again, I realized the orange light meant the ambient light sensor thinks the cap is activated outside of the bottle, not a low charge. So the light sensor malfunctioned in a month. The new unit also has a tiny chip on the bottle. The product is based on a good idea, but it is manufactured in China, so quality is questionable. I just hope the new one will last more than a month. In hindsight, maybe I should not have ordered it again. I cannot fully recommend this product, based on it's questionable reliability and quality, expensive price, and it's made in China.Update: The bottle cap is not water tight. If you put ice cold water in the bottle, you can see condensation and water inside the bottle cap. This happened to 2 bottle caps. When this happens, the cleaning cycle will not activate, you get the orange light. I contacted LARQ support about this, they haven't responded in 7 days. Either I have bad luck or the bottle cap has a design flaw.

This is my favorite water bottle I have ever purchased. Right out of the box when you pick it up it feels premium in the hand. The instructions are easy to understand which is something I was concerned about but it's super easy. Charges fairly quickly. It is micro-USB and not USB-C which is a bummer but it's all good. Mainly because a charge will last you several weeks based on use. The bottle itself is beautiful and fits in the water pouch of my day bag like a glove. For me, it's one of the purchases that make you go "why have I been using anything but this?" I was also shocked at how cold the water stayed after a full day of running around. The water by the end of my day was still surprisingly cool and crisp. I might have to get their water pitcher for the fridge.
