Laken Classic Water Bottle .6 Liter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)12/5/09 Note: Of the 4 Laken water bottles I ordered online, 2 leaked at the cap and had to be returned.The remaining 2 bottles are great.

I purchased 4 .6L/20oz. kukuxumusu by Laken water bottles.One was to replace my SIGG water bottle and the other 3 as gifts for friends.I'd been using the SIGG bottle for over a year and using the Laken bottle for the past month.Love the Laken bottle for it's ease of use (the cap).

Pros:
1. SIGG bottle is slimmer and fits my small hands easier than the Laken, both fit my vehicle's drink holder
2. Both SIGG & Laken bottles have absolutely no taste (wash them before using)
3. Laken screw top takes only 3 turns to close
4. SIGG mouth is smaller and easier to drink without spilling
5. No problems cleaning either bottle (I use bottles for water only) just use 1 T. vinegar or baking soda (do NOT use bleach) and let stand for 20 minutes or more

Cons:
1. SIGG screw top will leak and strip threads if not carefully screwed on and requires MANY turns to close
2. Turns out my year old SIGG is not BPA free and I will be taking advantage of the the SIGG Exchange Program to obtain the new BPA-free bottle (the program expires 10/31/09, search the SIGG site for CEO Letters for info)
3. Neither bottle retains temperature (not important to me) but Laken mouth is larger if you want to add ice (not possible with SIGG)
