I ordered an infusion water bottle to encourage more water intake previous to this and was pretty disappointed in the design and sent it back. The Bevgo was my second attempt and I am very pleased with it.
I was attracted to the other bottle because the infusion insert was placed at the bottom, which made a lot of sense! You want to get the most out of your fruit no matter how low the water gets. Newsflash! Totally impractical for the design! It was nearly impossible to thread it tight enough at the bottom to prevent leaking, and when you did, you needed power tools to get it back off! Now that I have this bottle, having the attachment at the bottom seems more like a negative. There would be times when the water would get low and sit for awhile before I got a chance to drink and then it was oversaturated. Having the fruit at the top is NOT an issue.
The other big issue with the infuser on the bottom is there were times when I was testing fruit combinations and wasn't quite happy with one. To add another fruit or change it out you had to turn over a full bottle of water and balance it somewhere while you changed the fruit, or sacrifice all the water and dump it.
So now for my Bevgo. I've never had an issue with water leaking. The threads are super easy to work. If I need to change out whatever is in the infusion cup it is very easy. The flat bottom on the infusion cup is extremely helpful when filling it also. I like how simple the locking bar is. On other water bottles I've had, they place the locking button right by the button to open the lid. It gets to be an issue when you're trying to open it and accidentally lock it instead. Everything I've seen from this water bottle is great!
I will give you an observation though that could cause an issue for people. The cap that the infusion cup screws into, that sits on the top of the water bottle, has some holes for filling. I have fairly low water pressure coming from my fridge spout so I am able to put everything in place then fill the water with the infusion cup still on it. At my parents house they have better water pressure and it was a bit messier to fill when put together. This isn't a huge issue as you can just pull the insert out, fill the bottle to an estimated level and then reinsert the infuser...or just use the faucet.
The only thing I am not a huge fan of is the times printed on the side of the bottle to help you monitor your water intake. I would much prefer the liquid measurements printed on them (ml and/or oz). I also don't understand why it's printed on the bottle cover (koozie). If I can't see through the cover to see the water level then what is the point of having them printed there? It's not a huge deal for me but I'm not really sure who measures their water intake by time instead of ounces.
Overall it's a great bottle and a much better option than fruit on the bottom infusers! You can tell they've really thought through the design and seem to be improving it still.
