Customer Rating:      Summary: Interchangeable tops, and recyclable, too!! Comment: These are a great value since you can easily purchase a top separately when you need or want it (that wasn't the case with my Sigg bottle). All the tops are interchangeable on every bottle size. And, if and when the bottle has been dropped/dented/damaged one too many times it can easily be recycled at most recycling centers that take steel. Keep the caps and buy another, they'll serve you well for a long time.
Customer Rating:      Summary: blackbart Comment: Exceptional service,received order within three days of order from one coast to the other.Quality product.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Overall a good water bottle Comment: I like this bottle very much, except it is pretty wide. It will not fit in the cup holder of my car. Besides that I am happy with how it keeps my water cool for a long period of time, and the amount of water it holds lasts me all day long.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Sturdy, quality product. Comment: I have used this for a couple of months now, and feel I can speak with confidence.
There is an initial 'off' smell and taste that regular dish soap doesn't kill. A few denture fizzies and an overnight soak, then all is well.
I use this daily for my tea, 6 days a week. No staining, no lingering odors or flavours. I have dropped it several times, ranging from empty to full, on tile and carpeted concrete with no denting, cracking, cap-loosening, or leaking of any kind.
I recently bought a second one in case of long road-trips.
An odd thing: this is not an insulated bottle but, kept out of the sun, the contents stay cool / cold for a surprisingly long time.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Healthier than plastic, sleek, lightweight, good-looking! Comment: Is it a wonder this item is currently rated #5 in sports and outdoors?
Man, what I would give for that kind of rating in any category.
After listening to a speech given by a Toastmaster member, reminding me of "Endocrine Disruptors" and leaching Bisphenol A (BPA) which can occur while endlessly reusing plastic water bottles, I decided to pay attention and search for a better option. I had purchased a Camelbak, supposedly healthier, non-leaching hard-plastic bottle, a few years ago. It's okay, I'm not crazy about the built-in straw feature and it seems a bit unwieldy size-wise and sometimes downright slippery!
The KK is darling! I just got it, I like the feel of it, sort of satiny, goes well with my satin-finish chrome bathroom fixtures!
I had wanted to know that the "science" for this item was reliable and trustworthy. Amazon.com describes the metal "sanitary grade 304 stainless steel which has a low nickel content." Having no idea what 304 stainless steel is, I am trusting that this type is anti-leach and the "low nickel" content is incidental to my overall well-being.
My 27oz. KK w/sport cap arrived with a slight scratch, initially I wanted to report it, then I decided it added character and I let it go. The scratch does not affect the water taste or good looks or sleek lines, certainly it won't impact the quality of my life or create those nasty BPAs to taint my drinking water.
For now, I am happy with the Klean Kanteen and recommend trying one for yourself and stop reusing those leachy plastics, please!
