YOU'RE SMART! YOU WORK HARD!......DON'T INVEST YOUR MONEY IN THIS PRODUCT!
I frequently buy from Amazon so I know people prefer to have reviews to the point and the long reviews just get skimmed so I'm going to keep it concise:<br /><br />Pros:<br />It contains liquids without leaking. Hence, it is a bottle.<br /><br />Cons:<br />As soon as I opened the box and held the bottle securely in my hands, I knew this was going to be a bad purchase. However, the majority of the reviews online were positive so I began cleaning the bottle. First, I removed the lid. Instantly, I notice that the plastic cap still had plastic that wasn't shaved off. As a man who has been in the construction industry for five years, this represented poor craftsmanship and lack of professionalism. I removed some of the excess plastic and continued cleaning the rest of the bottle. Afterwards, I loaded it up with some protein shake and milk. Held the bottle by the rubber grip with my left hand and tightened the lid with my right. Of course, the rubber grip detached from the plastic bottle and now remains loose. :(<br /><br />OVERALL: The bottle has a cool look and design but unfortunately, the material and attention to detail is poor. I am not expecting top shelf quality here since it is only $11.99 but a product that is well finished and that works would be appreciated.<br /><br />P.S. What really sucks is that Amazon no longer allows you to return items for free. As an Amazon Prime member who pays $100/yr, if a product is poor quality or I want to exchange it for another item on Amazon, I should be able to return that item without additional charges. So because Amazon wants to charge me $5.99 to return this bottle, I am now stuck with this bottle. Why? Because it will cost me the $5 I would get back as a refund just to drive to the nearest UPS and back. This bottle and I are going to be in an emotionally abusive relationship. [ I am going to hate it and yet have to continue to use it just to mix my protein not out of love.] I'll toss this terrible product in the dumpster soon enough!
