I tend to go through water bottles at quite a rate mainly because I have a habit of leaving them behind in the gym or when out camping so I'm always on the look out for cheap options and this particular water bottle only cost £1.20 so it was a real bargain, it was available in two colours, blue and pink so I opted for the pink colour. It does have a couple of drawbacks in the way that it is made but I can accept these given the low price, as you cannot expect something to be perfect when it is sold so cheap.

This bottle is a little on the bulky side which does not make it the easiest to grip, there are some grooves on the side to help you grip the bottle but I find that if I'm doing a heavy workout and sweating a lot then the smooth plastic is not the best for getting a good secure grip on.

It has a standard sportts cap from which a steady flow of water is dispensed without the need to suck really hard, just a tipping motion is all that is needed. It locks back into place securely enough and there is a nozzle protector as well to prevent and spillage of the water when not in use. The top of the bottle unscrews to allow the bottle to be filled. This is the other area where I noticed the cheapness of the bottle as there is not much thread and it is a bit of a pain to get the top back on, it could just be in the build quality of the one I have with the threads slightly out of line but again it is something that is not that big a problem given the low price of the bottle.

It is easy to clean as you just remove the top and wash thoroughly and it is reasonably robust given that it is made from plastic however it does not look like it would handle many knocks and the like.

Given the price this is a good purchase and a product that only has a couple of design niggles.
