great

Rating:*****

Works great. Funny aftertaste for maybe 2 uses but after that nothing but great tasting clean water. I bought several a few 18 oz and a few 27 oz. The 18 oz works great for me b/c i am notorious for filling up 32 oz bottles and never finishing w/ these i usually drink about three. The smaller size makes me want to drink more. But if you are a big water drinker the 18 might just make you mad.

No off taste

Rating:*****
I have half a dozen plastic bottles, some from top name manufactures, and they all make the water taste like plastic. I've been ranting and looking for a water bottle that was dish washer safe and made from non-toxic material for some time now. I'm so pleased that I finally found one, I'm giving it 5 stars. I considered marking it down because the air intake on the sports cap whistles a little, but couldn't do it.

Love it!!!

Absolutely love our Klean Kanteens (our kids love them too)! Got two 27 oz for us and two 18 oz for our kids (and also a 40oz to bring to picnics and outdoor events). Water tastes soooo much better in these bottles and wide opening makes it easy to fill with ice and clean. We highly recommend these to anyone interested in saving $$, cutting down on use of plastic, and/or interested for health reasons.

Great bottle

Rating:*****

Bought the 18oz for my sister, I have the 27oz myself. Tough, lightweight, and just the right capacity. Works as advertised; there really aren't any smells that linger with the stainless steel. The only problem I have with it is that the design of the neck sometimes makes water splash out if you lift it too quickly when there isn't much water inside, but that's really more my fault. Again, great bottle(s), would buy more.

Love this bottle

Rating:*****
My kids love taking them to school. It's not too heavy and fits nicely in their back packs. I take mine every where I go, fits perfectly in my purse. The colors are great and when you drink from a ss or a color bottle there is no difference in smell or taste. Can't say the same for similar brands.

Safe bottle in a handy size!

Rating:*****
I like this bottle since it NEVER imparts a taste or odor to my water. The 18 oz size is perfect since I can finish it before it reaches room temperature! I have found that the new sport-top has a much greater flow-thru than the original sport top, but it is not considered leakproof; the only con to the bottle.

Great!

Rating:*****
I love this water bottle! It is perfect to take along with me in the car for short trips, as it fits perfectly in the cup holder. As far as taste goes, all I taste is the water I put in it, no other weird tastes like one might taste coming from a plastic bottle.

Great water canteen

Rating:*****

This is not a thermos. It's best use is to hold your cooking water. 18oz is just not big enough on camping/hiking trips. I found myself having to fill up too often. Beside all that it's still a great canteen. The loop cap comes in very handy. I just need to get a bigger size.

Love this water bottle! We bought one for the whole family but my 5 year old already dropped it and it dented. The bottom of the bottle also discolored already and we have only had them about 2 weeks. I am going to call about to see if there is a warranty.

klean kanteen is the BEST

Rating:*****
Klean Kanteen bottles are my favorite because you can clean them with any bottle brush, ice cubes fit, and they are more durable. We have every size from the 12oz to the 40oz. This 18oz size is great for children. We don't buy wasteful, bottled water anymore.
