Bluewave Lifestyle Daily 8 Water Jug

I bought this for my husband to take when he plays basketball- it is much larger than most water bottles and has great design. He loved it at first, but after only a few months he dropped it a few feet onto the kitchen floor and the bottom shattered. The plastic is very thin and doesn't seem to be able to withstand much, unlike most water bottles.

I’ve been ordering these jugs from this company for almost 10 years now. Great quality and so convenient to stay hydrated by having a visual reminder of how much water you need to drink for the day! Just 2 a day keeps the doctor away! Being a personal trainer and fitness coach, I recommend my clients to order the same. Easy to clean, light to carry around and usually quite when drinking from it. My boyfriend and I get 2 every 4-6 months. 😊

I have been using this Bluewave 0.5 jug for 2 weeks now with no problems. There have been no leaks whatsoever. If there is still water in the cap, there will be leaks coming out of cap. Speaking of the cap, yes I see why some people have given this bottle a bad review. The cap is very hard to twist on. You have to get it just right and twist it on slowly.I bring this jug from home to work and back everyday. This jug have hold up good. I handle it gently carrying it by the handle. I don't throw into my vehicle like a crazy person. I just place it down on the floor gently. For cleaning I just rinse the bottle by hand and let it air dry. If you can be a civilized person and want to drink a gallon a day, I highly recommend this jug.

I’ve been buying this water bottle for YEARS. I occasionally buy a new one if I drop and break it or if it’s getting dingy and old. I have now bought 2 new bottles this month that are completely useless. The tops are lazy and don’t stay open while drinking water so they either close while you’re drinking or tons of air gets through and you end up drinking half water and half air. I’ve NEVER had these issues until now!! So disappointed and I guess I will have to find a new brand of water bottle now...

I wish I could give this bottle less than 2 star.I purchased 2 of them because I wanted to keep one at work and one for the gym . 2 days after using the one I work I realized it was leaking on the bottom. I put it in the trash and kept on using the other one.1 month later the other started leaking as well.So last week I decided to order another but a different color to give it another try but sadly the second day I realized the top has a crack and I place it in my gym bag and all my stuff was wet.I did not write a review earlier because I don't like to write reviews BUT after what had happen to the 3rd one I think it would be helpful for other people to know that they should not waste their money on this bottle.

I got this to try to drink more water throughout the day and better monitor my water intake. The lid has to be pushed down forcefully while twisting to seal all the way without leaking. Also, the actual cap where you would drink out of is very loose, so if tipped over water will leak from there. It being loose is also a problem since you either have to hold the cap open with your teeth while you're drinking or it flops back down. It also does not completely seal, a fair amount of air bubbles through while you are drinking. I solved these issues by buying a separate top for the container. Overall the size of the bottle is was I was wanting and it is accurate but the lid was faulty. (I could not exchange the lid because I had already opened and washed before use so the seller said it was 'used' and could be returned).

This is my seconds on of these bottles. I accidentally cracked the first one by squeezing it and wanted to get something different and better. But after searching around I decided this bottle fits my needs best. Though it does seem like this bottle is made with a more flexible plastic than the original one that I had. Either way its a water bottle, holds the amount of water that I want, has a handle, and is easy to drink from. I'm not overly concerned about the plastic since I'm not heating the bottle.Update: I bought second one and it cracked within a few weeks. Very brittle plastic as it almost shatters! I won't be purchasing another one of these and won't be recommending them either.

MY favorite water bottle but I have noticed it is thinner plastic than the other water bottles so alas thinking as some reviewers wrote it won't last very long.But its easy to drink out of . if you save the plastic top piece it doesn't leak. It helps motivate you to drink more water. Fun colors AND love the handle which makes it both easier to cary and easier to drink out of.
