I've never tried to return them after they break because they were cheap enough that their cost didn't justify the time expense necessary to go through with the process. I've used mine for the gym and work. I've since gone through 3 more (including one of the 500ml ones) and noticed that they don't have lifetime guarantees anymore! I would say they last about 1-2 years. Not bad for seven bucks. Even in the heat, the water is as tasteless as a Nalgene bottle (which would be the less convenient more durable competitor). However, the light weight and malleability let it fold into your bag MUCH easier, which is why I keep coming back. When it breaks, it will be by the spout - it will just leak one day where the hard plastic meets the bag...hopefully not on anything important (don't get too comfortable sticking it in your laptop bag). 4 stars The following review received 2 helpful votes out of 2 total votes: Review Date: 2007-09-23 "Surprised noone thought of this sooner" Its really convenient and I even got compliments about how nice it was. They are made of very light material but I haven't had any problems with leaking. 5 stars Review Date: 2007-10-28 "platypus 1.0 liter bottle" Hate for little children to have to drink out of containers that add not-good substances to the water. Platypus containers impart no taste, and the water keeps for days without getting nasty. Good stuff. Definitely need the push-pull top instead of the screw-top. Kind of big for the pocket, but holds a lot. 5 stars | |
