An okay product ruined by lack of or bad instructions
I wanted to like these. I really did. But in good conscience I can't recommend them because the instructions, when you can actually find them, are unclear at best and dangerous at worst.<br /><br />First, when you get the package, you get two separate bags each with a disassembled bottle in them ... and that's it. No "hey, you'll need to buy this kind of salt to use this." No "only use distilled or sterilized water." No instructions on how to assemble them, let alone use them.<br /><br />I suppose I could overlook this if the parts went together in a really obvious way (and depending on you, they might - they did for me) and that the bottle works like you would expect it to, but it doesn't. Instead it uses a unique click-button to start and stop water flow, but the only place you would learn that is going to the fourth picture deep on the updated product page on Amazon, and even then it's full of grammar and formatting errors and graphics that were hastily thrown together - you can even see they yanked the image of the pen from somewhere else and "painted" over the original text.<br /><br />The page also advertises that it's able to be boiled, but can't actually touch the pot it's boiling in. What's more, it's advertised as being heat-resistant up to 100 degrees Celsius ... which is the boiling point of water. So according to this it can be boiled, but can't handle the temperature of boiling. Another reviewer tried to get around this by microwaving the product but the plastic apparently deformed and now leaks. As others have stated, if you get this product, your best bet is to boil the water separately, let it cool, then mix in your salt and add it to the bottle.<br /><br />This could have been a decent product. But the lack of instructions - and flat-out contradictory information on the product page - make this almost dangerous unless you really know what you're doing.
