I wanted a light weight, leak proof, easy easy to carry and use water bottle and this fits the bill perfectly. Fold away carry handle, secure leak-proof flip top, and simple to clean so hygienic as well – does everything I wanted and so much better than any of my water bottles.
I was a bit nervous this bottle wouldn’t seal when I got it as there is a slight gap visible in the lid but it has been fine. I drink a lot of water so I really like the size of this bottle. I also have a 1L one from the same brand which takes up a lot more space in this bag than a 500ml bottle but this one feels like a happy compromise between the two.
The only thing I dislike is that the lid has a chemically taste and this hasn’t gone away with washing.
Nice looking bottles, great capacity. Had a problem with one of them (spout seal came out and got lost) but the company have helped me out and are sending a replacement.
Our whole family now has at least 2 each. They are durable, go through the dish washer. Also you can purchase spares for any seals that may get lost (if your kids like to fiddle with lids etc). They are a little more expensive than other brands but really worth it. They feel good in the hand (good grip and holding grooves). We have them in different sizes (volumes) and in different colours. They are probably the best brand I’ve tried.
Been using ION 8’s for some time now. I do like this new bottle but it’s no game changer. I found mine to be completely leak proof (make sure you lock the top!), I also feel like this is better made than the previous – seems heavier/thicker – but this comes at a cost – it won’t fit in a bike bottle cage anymore. I had loads of the old ones, but i have stuck with two for now. Worth getting if your old ones back up, but don’t get it to go on a bike.
After buying a different bottle for more money I was skeptical that this one would be leak proof as it was much cheaper. It is amazing and definitely leak proof. I love this bottle, it has a great flow rate, isn’t too tall and a good quality plastic. Seriously thinking of buying another one.
I brought this as a new work bottle. It is very handy as I can lock it so the children don’t drink out of it. It washes well and doesn’t leak like others I have tried. Highly recommended.
Decent soft touch material. Standard Ion8 Removable seals for easy cleaning. I bought that for my 9 yo and the size is quite big for her hand. Picture showing 3 sizes. 350ml, 600ml, 750ml.
Handle broke after just 2 weeks. Disappointed.
Brilliant bottle. I got a few of these in different sizes for my boys to use at schools and leave on poolside to sip during swimming. Very good quality, no leaking, easy to carry around, water flow smoothly and just the right size for mouth, looks good too. Most importantly easy to clean. Not like the bottles we used before, the mould trapped in the sipping area and couldn’t be reached to clean, have to throw away quite often. For this bottle there’s nowhere for mould to hide, great for long term use.
Avoid Light Purple, as both the original and replacement were missing their secondary safety lock catch (and I think someone else alluded to this in a ‘lilac’ review which I think would be the same colour) so I’m guessing an unaddressed production line fault and/or stock of bottles being sold that should have been recalled but the Aqua and Yellow ones I have are great…
I really like this style of cycling bottle that keeps the dirt away from the nozzle-with traditional bottles I find the nozzle gets covered with dirt/splattered flies, even on roads/cycle paths. These fully cover the nozzle, and are easy to drink from.
As, unlike my experiences with traditional bottles, they also don’t leak I also use them as my regular water bottle. The lid includes a hinged loop that could be used to hang the bottle from a carribiner etc. so they adapt nicely to the activity.
The secondary hinged catch is reassuring when putting in a bag, as there’s a possibility the regular one, which is a handy quick-release for the lid, could be triggered otherwise so I feel confident when using this. I’ve found it completely leak proof, with the note that I always make sure the seal, lid and bottle threads are completely dry (as I do with any kind of liquid container that won’t be stored upright/is tilted to drink or pour from).
Had one of these before , good quality , older one had nice strap to hold it by , so only gave this 4 stars .. price is double to what I laud for one a few years ago
I sent it back and I will be getting one in blue with the loop latch.
Probably great for people keeping the bottle in an outside pocket and going easy on their luggage, but I would definitely recommend the older closure for more peace of mind.
Otherwise it’s a great company and I would recommend their bottles to anyone: no smell or taste and excellent water tight silicon closures that last ages.
Really is leak proof
Good size abd nice colour
It would have been 5 star but it was a little more expensive than the normal bottles but perhaps I have been unkind as you get what you pay fir
I recommend
I bought this bottle to replace a previous ion8 bottle I had. The flip top mechanism had broken after 5 years of day to day use. The bottle was still usable but I wanted to ensure it was leakproof still so replaced it.
Wir haben die Flasche nun bereits zum 2. mal gekauft. Sie wird von den Kindern fr die Schule verwendet und muss dementsprechend im Rucksack so einiges aushalten. Bislang gab ist noch keine der FLaschen ausgelaufen. Insofern top!
This really is, however, the best water bottle I have ever owned. It is well designed and engineered. There is no vacuum when you drink, but if you tilt it up too much it might just leak a little from the air hole when you drink, but you’ll soon learn how to stop this.
My old one has never leaked. The silicone seals have performed well over a long time. I have NEVER put it in the dishwasher. I would NOT recommend this.
It is not an insulated drinks carrier but the material that makes up the bottle walls is substantial, so heat loss from hot fluids, or heat gain of cold fluids would be slow.
I would not take this on a super light backpacking trip as there are lighter options, but I use my original ion8 every day (I take it full of cold filtered water to my bedside every night). I love the opening mechanism and the lock feature.
In my opinion this is worth the price. I would be surprised if it failed but I see that some people need replacement silicone seals. Perhaps they are putting it in the dishwasher which, as I say, I would NOT recommend.
I would recommend this product. It’s well designed and we’ll made. I’d be surprised if you were disappointed. I understand an added bonus is that it fits bike carriers (but I don’t cycle), so can’t comment.
We have three of these bottles, 1x 750ml for me and 2x 500ml for the kids. Hopefully this review will help others as I wasted a good hour looking through other peoples comments as usual!
They do not leak if the lid is screwed on properly (opening button should be in line with the ion8 logo). If you fill it up, tip it upside down and shake it no water comes out. They have also not leaked in my kids bags and lets face it, those bags will have been at every angle throughout the day!
The breather hole is a good thing, do not be put off by this – it is not a design flaw and you do not have to drink out of it in some silly way. Never have I, or my 6 and 9 year olds, had any water come out of the breather hole when drinking. It actually helps you drink more due to the water flowing out quicker than normal bottles.
The 750ml bottle is 750ml, not 650ml. Someone complained in a review saying they did not get what they ordered with a photo of the approximate capacity markings on the side which only go up to 650ml. This is the case but you can fill it past this line, I’ll let you guess by how much more 🙂
There is only one negative with all of these bottles and that is the hand strap that comes attached. It’s made from material so even when the bottle is dry after washing, the strap stays wet for ages. None of us have a use for it so just took it off, definitely didn’t warrant the loss of a star.
So there… I hope that puts to bed all the questions that you didn’t realise you had until you read other reviews 🙂 It’s a non-leaking, non-toxic water bottle, don’t waste any more of your time looking through more reviews, you obviously need one so just buy it!
