I have to admit when I first saw this water bottle it seemed great, then later on I started noticing issues: the first one being that if the bottle hasn't been resting right side up, when you go to take a drink the autospout will spurt water everywhere. Another issue is that there must be a leak somewhere in the lid that keeps sucking in air which prevents you from taking a full swig and its very annoying. Then there's the issue of the straw length: it reaches nearly right down to the bottom of the bottle, which was understandably designed to maximize the amount of water you can drink from the bottle, but the problem with this is that often the straw will directly touch the bottom making it impossible to suck any water from it. As another reviewer mentioned, there are nooks and crannies in the lid that are hard to clean. Just a disappointing water bottle overall. Simpler is better and this has too many bits and parts that will inevitably fail and render the bottle useless.
