Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottles

The Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle is the purest and safest water bottle on the market I have personally seen the laboratory test and it came back showing outstanding results No lining made of aluminum or lead and no toxic paints. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: You may wash the bottle in the dishwasher but handwash the tops. Do not soak the tops in water or put the tops in the dishwasher. They will not work well if you do. I personally handwash the bottle and the tops as it gets them cleaner then in the dishwasher. Get a bottle-brush from your grocery store and scrub inside the bottle with soap and water. To get the new metal smell out, should you experience that, wash with white vinegar and very hot water.

Great water bottle: 5 stars!

Klean Kanteen bottles are extremely durable. They will ding if they are banged or dropped hard. But you won't sprout a leak. The Sports Cap is great. I never liked the caps on Sigg bottles. (Sigg's always seemed to release a little trickle of water and made an annoying sound.) I like the fact that the caps work on all sized bottles. It's extremely practical. When I bought my son's 18 oz bottle I also ordered extra Sports Caps; I like knowing that I can use them on any of our bottles. (Note: a previous reviewer mentioned that Klean Kanteen places the bar code sticker inside the cap. I agree this is a stupid place for it and I was really annoyed about it. However I've found that if you peel off as much sticker as possible, the rest of it rubs off fairly easily with olive oil or vegetable oil.) I'll also mention that they used to make the Sports Cap in white. I suspect that when they switched to black caps they might have made a design change because the old white caps used to occasionally leak, but I haven't had that problem with the new black ones.

But the thing that I really love about these bottles is that the opening isn't so small that it becomes difficult to clean them out. Sigg bottles have very narrow openings and are a pain to clean. Before you use the bottle for the first time wash it out several times and you won't have any metallic taste.

About the only thing that I felt Sigg has over Klean Kanteen are the pretty colors.

My only complaint is that there isn't much of a selection of insulated covers that fit my 40 oz bottle. During a visit to SeaWorld in Orlando I found a nice one with a shoulder strap in their gift shop. It was sold with a really crappy and cheap plastic drink bottle which I ditched-but my 40 oz Klean Kanteen fit perfectly!
