Side by Side Comparison of: Contigo vs Kinzi

the bottle arrived on time and is in great condition. i tested the volume capacity of the bottle. and measure correctly as labeled on the bottlebut one you add fruit to the infuser section. it will hold less water.the PRO'S:Clear plastic color. had the glass like featurethe infuser has a suction ring which holds it in place,the bottle is BPA freeeasy to fill big opening without having to open the capthe CON'S:the blue cap on top needs to be better designed. right now it flips back when you need to drinkits not insulated so it wont stay cold for long time, infused water tastes bad when the water is not coldthe bottle doesnt state that its BPA free. this needs to be labeledi wish the bottle size is bigger, its odd volume size, may 32oz is a good size.overall this is a great bottler, i have been using it everyday. i keep it simple, i just add lemon slices to it and thats its. you dont need all the other fruits. LEMON WATER IS THE BEST FOR YOUR BODY.please click yes if you found this review helpful.

I was most impressed when I received this water bottle. I really liked the look of it and it felt solid. It didn't seem like it would break easily. I have used it both as a fruit infuser and as a plain old water bottle and it serves its purpose. Being a high school teacher, I use it at school all the time and several of the kids think that it is very "cool" looking.That being said, there are two things worth mentioning. First, I wish that it had something on it that made it a little easier to carry, like a loop of some kind. And second, you have to be pretty careful handling the fruit infuser insert. Although the bottle is very sturdy, the ribs of the infuser are naturally a little more delicate and subject to breakage unless handled with utmost care.I have now purchased a few items from Kinzi and find the manufacturer to be very customer oriented and eager to please. Their products seems to be made within high quality guidelines and I look forward to purchasing more from them in the future.

I have several infuser water bottles this one is my current favorite. I was using a Revo which has the same basic structure and shape except that the mouthpiece was like a standard hot travel bottle. With the Kinzi it has a small raised hole and I like that I can use it to drink a fair amount of water at a time. I don't need to sip it. Sounds piggish I suppose, but if I'm doing yard work I'm not going to sip something, I'm going to probably take a strong pull on the bottle to drink before setting it down.I love that it's dishwasher safe and has had no problems going through my dishwasher several times. Fruit does not get caught in the fruit basket The slots are large enough to allow good flavor seepage and to keep pesky seeds out of my water. I just shake it over my garbage disposal and the spent fruit pops right out. I have also had no issues with leakage. The gasket that seals the lid to the bottle does pop out a little too easily but is easily popped back into place with a butter knife.For the price, it's well worth it if you plan to use it to infuse fruit. It's sturdy and built to last as well as user friendly.

Its been almost couple of weeks I have got this shipment and have been using it on a daily basis. Here are the pros and cons that I think are important to know about this bottle before anyone wants to buy it:Pros:———-1) It has a very simple design but it does what it is supposed to do. It does not spill even a drop of liquid if closed properly.2) It is completely made of transparent plastic. But does not feel like cheap plastic. Because of the transparent look and all plastic body, it might seem fragile but actually it is very well built. In fact, the transparent design makes it more cute when its loaded with water and fruit.3) Can also be used as a regular water bottle if the fruit tube is removed.Cons:____1) The lid is designed in a very basic way. Although it does not spill anything but I am not fully confident that it wont break when decent amount of pressure is applied to the lid from the opposite direction when its open. The lid design could be done in a more robust way.2) It is made of transparent plastic. So, it may be prone to scratches. Although I have been using this since the day I have got shipment and have not noticed any mark of scratch yet. But, I am not fully confident that there won’t be any in over the time.PS: I normally update my reviews if any fault arises even after dropping the review. So, if you do not hear me for a long time, just assume that the product is going well.

My first infuser bottle and I am impressed. I really like that it is dishwasher safe! :) The water bottle itself is a good size since you should drink at least 3 bottles of water that size. The box did not have a lot of directions besides the fact that it snaps on/off. It was easy to figure out how to dissemble it apart. Of course I don't always have time to use this as an infuser bottle so some days I just use it as a regular. I love that it has the feature though. The color of the bottle that I got looks like the picture online. High quality item.Tips/ Advice: You can use oranges or whatever fruit you like but because what you put in the infuser has to be removed eventually so put smaller things to make it easier to dump out and wash. It is also more difficult to cut up the oranges or limes to a smaller size. I attached a picture of me putting my car key on top. The entrance of the infuse is decent size. I think it works best with berries and mint leaves.My other advice would be to leave the fruit at least 6 hours depending on the fruit. Like all cat owners know, you have to release the catnip oils by using your palms, since most things won't just breakdown same with fruit. It is best to chop up some of the mint.

I have owned several water bottle mainly the free ones that you get at promotional events or medical conferences but I always wanted to try one with fruit infuser. This Kinzi bottle was the ideal pick given the nice 27 oz volume and the royal blue color combined with clear plastic makes it look great!The bottle is made of pretty sturdy plastic and even after dropping it once or twice there was no damage to it. The size of the infuser is just right, and I have tried using lemons, berries, and oranges so far. Lemon+berries is my favorite flavor right now. The openings in the infuser are the perfect size so the fruit flavor infuse your water but seeds don't fall through the bottle!The bottle and infuser are very easy to clip in and out without struggles. The only thing I can think of that would have made this bottle better would be to change the material from plastic to something like aluminum that would keep the water cold especially on a hot summer day but for the price this bottle is great.In Summary:1. Good size bottle and infuser2. Sturdy plastic material3. Aesthetically beautiful colors with vibrant royal blue on clear bottleThis is the perfect bottle for anyone who does not like the taste of water and wants to add some natural flavors to it. It will make you drink more water and keep you healthy!

Great fruit infusing water bottle! The quality of the bottle is great and on the container it feels great to hold. The fruit holding portion is a great size and it works wonderful to keep the fruit inside the water and allow for maximum infusion with the water and fruit. This is very easy to use and anybody would be able to do so.The one problem with the bottle is that the small cap from where you drink doesn't have a locking sealed cap so it can open on its own. Making a change to that and this would be beyond excellent. The bottle is still great for usage still but would be nice if the top could seal and lock.I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking to infuse water wit some fruit to make it taste more desirable.

In the past week I have tried several types of fruit and it adds a good amount of flavor to the water. I put the fruit in the infuser and water in the bottle and shook it up to get the flavor mixed together.Here are my pros and cons.Pros: 1) It holds a good amount of water. 2) The flavor was throughout the bottle and did not vary from drink to drink.Cons: 1) The bottle does nothing to keep water cold but, it is not advertised to keep water cold. 2) The stopper on the top needs to be more flexible or maybe fold back more as it hits your face while drinking.Thats about it, the product does what it says it does. If you want real fruit flavor in your water this is the bottle for you.

This bottle is 11.2” X 2.9” wide and holds 27 oz. It is BPA free. This is a nice convenient way to infuse water with fruits. Just place the fruit in the inner container (it easily comes out by twisting it) and fill the outer container with water. The top has a flap that closes and opens to allow access to the water. The flap isn’t water tight though. When I turned the bottle over, water dripped out of when the flap meets the bottle. The bottle is easy to use and very easy to clean. It is dishwasher safe. The container is made out of BPA free plastic and is clear. It feels very sturdy. The size is perfect for my grip for easy carrying. (It’s not too big or too small). I have left the fruit in the inner container most of the day while refilling the container with water throughout the day. This worked out well and got fruit infused water every time. My only concern is that there is no clip or finger loop to make carrying it around more convenient, but that’s not a big issue. It’s a great little bottle at a great price.

I gave this Kenzi water bottle 4 stars, but actually I will admit that I love this water bottle. It is easy to use and easy to clean. You just cut up the fruit you wish to use (or a tea bag etc if you prefer), put them in the small blue insert with the slits and then cap it. You can then add water or tea or even juice if you like. I first tried it with orange slices. I loved the flavoring of the water and honestly I could not stop drinking it; I even filled it up twice. The only thing that I don't like about the bottle is that the plastic is hard. I am afraid that if I drop it, the bottle might crack. Other then that, I find the bottle to be satisfactory. It doesn't leak and the seal is tight.

This water bottle gets the job done. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and my only real complaint is that once you put your fruit in the blue container and screw it into position, you have to fill your water bottle slower than I like. You can add water to the bottle first then screw the blue thing in, but that takes some guesswork. What I've been doing is putting lemon wedges into the blue container (like one or two), fill up the water bottle slowly, then refrigerate it over night. That leaves enough time for the fruit to infuse. During the day when my bottle gets about half empty (or half full depending how you see life) I refill it and there is usually enough taste to withstand the dilution. The top has a good suction and I like the pour-style lid. Now I'm not sure it's strong enough to withstand some shaking, I wouldn't risk it that much. But if it gets knocked over, I'm confident it won't flood the floor. Now I just need to get a bit more creative with my water infusion recipes :))

Good choice for water bottle if you'd like a little fruity taste every time you sip down.This one is made of real good quality plastic - claims to stand boiling water too (neither did I try nor i ever would, boiling water in a plastic bottle). It has wide mouth and is dishwasher safe , looks are not bad too. I am using this from roughly two weeks now with warm water and my choice of fruits in infuser plug - I love it . I liked the size/dimensions of bottle as well easy to carry around - holds about 800ml/ 27oz at a time.First time I tried this kind of bottle to have that extra flavor in water that I drink all day long. Mix it up and be prepared to be surprised :)

My name is Kenzi, so I was morally obligated to get this water bottle. It is beautifully designed and comes in gorgeous packaging. I would not hesitate to give this as a gift if it worked a bit better. The biggest issue is that the spout doesn't have a tight seal with the lid, so it leaks or straight up pours if it is not held upright. Another thing that would be nice is if the fruit container in the middle were able to stand up on its own when you are filling it. The curvy end makes usability pretty low. The spout is also kind of awkward to drink from as there is no straw or sucking mechanism, but I am getting used to that one. The biggest negative is the leaking for me, I wanted to use it as an exercise bottle and now I can't. If you are not planning on turning it any other way than up, it's great!

I like the bottle and the concept, and here are the good points and issues:Good: I can fit ice in the bottle prior to placing the fruit case. The fruit does in fact infuse the water nicely - I filled my bottle twice with lemon and raspberries and it tasted great. The unit is very easy to clean.Not so good: No instructions other than what is on the box. It is hard to fill - my filtered water spigot fills the bottle nicely if I take the fruit infusion unit out, but then I don't know how full to fil the bottle so it doesn't overflow once the diffuser part is replaced. If I have the diffuser unit in place, the water doesn't filter into the bottle fast enough and spills out into the sink. For the time being I have figured out the 'fill to' spot and used a sharpie to help myself out. The little cap on the lid doesn't seal, so if the bottle is not upright in my bag or purse, it will drip.I like the clear lightweight design, just need some markings on the bottle for fill purposes and a little better cap on the lid.

I really enjoy this product, I wish it was a little bigger so I could add ice. I have been able to fit most fruits in it and it actually infuses pretty well throughout the day. It doesn't leak and is easy to figure out and easy to clean. I dont like to drink water so I like to add the flavor to it. Also I am a college student always on the go and it is easy to refill.

I really wants to like this product! It looked and seem so promising! I was in need of a fruit infuser water bottle, and decided to give this one a try. So, at first glance, it looks like any other water bottle. Fruit infusers are great because you can add healthy ingredients and flavor to your water. I love adding mint, cucumber , strawberries and oranges. The good thing about this infuser is the size. The water bottle itself is 27 oz. The infuser provided seems like it can add a good amount of fruits and herbs. I had great difficulty pulling out the infuser. I guess that could be a good thing or a bad thing. Good because it's sturdy. bad because it really took a lot of effort to pull out and ended up hurting one of my fingers because of it. The opening is big so you can add fluids easily. It's BPA free, which is a big plus. The deal breaker for me is that the blue cap on the top doesn't close well. As a test, water leaked out of it a bit when I turned it upside down. I'm disappointed that the cap doesn't shut snugly. Should this water bottle get knocked over, I'm sure all the water and ingredients from the inside will gush right out. I hope they make an improvement on this.

Absolutely love this sports water bottle. It's innovative in the sense that you can add natural flavoring to your water. Sometimes for me personally I like drinking fruit juices so I like cutting oranges, strawberries and using the infuser. The infuser is separate so it keeps the fruits off when you are drinking. It's perfect for me to carry to the gym and get that taste.Pros- FDA food grade materials and 100% BPA-free- Hard plastic material- Choice between adding or removing the fruit infuserCons- No strap to carry the bottle- The plastic cap seems a little unsafe( not sure if it'll break over time)- No other colors because I don't want people to see what I am drinking or put in the infuserOverall, I am enjoying the bottle. Having a bottle close to me keeps me hydrated longer than not having a bottle at all. I have no complaints. I would recommend it to family since it's a cheap price. I like the style of it too.****************I had given it a 5 stars before but after using it I noticed that the bottle actually leaks. The lid(cover) doesn't stop the water. It's made of plastic and I think the lid needs to be reinforced. If you carry it upside down or tilted, which can happen if you carry it in your bookbag, it will leak. So now I've given it 3 stars.

This bottle looked great online with the good reviews I thought it would be a good way to keep hydrated while adding a fruity flavor to the water. The concept is great but this bottle had many problems. 1. it does NOT close properly the lid keeps popping off its a pain to carry around because if it tilts it instantly opens and gets everything wet! 2. The infuser is VERY hard to open I had to use a knife or spoon handle to open every time I could not twist it out like it says on the labeling. 3. The plastic is cheap not very durable doesn't look like it will last many rinsing and washes or even a fall. I rate it 3 stars it does the job but barely I WILL be trying a new brand.

It worked as expected but there are better options available at similar pricing. Look for a larger size and a less rigid plastic.

I used this for a few months. I was initially excited about the snapping lid cover, but it's really hard to snap shut. Most of the time, it just kinda lays on the top of the bottle. So I was often having spills in my lunch box if the bottle turned sideways. Seems like there was a design flaw or defect. Liked the size of the infuser relative to the water ratio. The other problem I had with this one and my previous water bottle was that the plastic is really hard, so it cracks really easy. I actually don't even remember dropping it and it was cracked (but I'm sure I did drop it, I'm constantly dropping my bottles). If they improve the design to be a little less fragile and prevent leaks, it would be better - but there are some other infusers on Amazon that do a better job of this.

I was initially very excited about this product. It is a great idea.... on paper. In reality, it is much less than it could be. Ideally, you need to maximize surface area of the fruit you add in order to maximize the flavor of any fruit you're infusing. Secondly, the flip top stopper is not an leak proof stopper. If you upset the bottle, the liquid will immediately flow out of the spout.Lastly, the spout itself is very small and you must literally pour the water into your mouth. There is no pressure relief valve so you can't suck the water out. Like I said at the beginning, fruit infusing water bottle is a great idea, but this is a poor manifestation of it.

Disappointed. Purchased this because of all the other great reviews. The quality of the bottle overall is fine as is the appearance.A fundamental expectation from a water bottle is that it doesn't leak. Unfortunatly, the snap lid doesn't actually snap so the bottle will leak if it gets tipped in any way.Also, the basket that holds the fruit is difficult to remove from the bottle.Can't recommend this product.

The fruit infuser insert is really handy, but the lid on this bottle doesn't latch shut. It just sits on top of the drinking spout. Definitely not friendly for someone taking it away from home or the office. It's essentially just a dust cover

I want to say i love it, but there's a huge problem with it.... it does not CLOSE!!!! i like to always take my water bottles everywhere, and if it tips over the cap opens because it doesn't close properly.... this had a lot of good reviews, and i'm sad that I just wasted the money for something that doesn't work as expected

The cover never closed and I would spill it constantly.

While I was eagerly awaiting the use of this water-infusing bottle, I was very disappointed after its first use. I found the quality of manufacturing to be severely lacking. The plastic mouthpiece was poorly finished, leaving a jagged finish which was extremely uncomfortable with every drink. I hope this seller demands better quality control in the future.

Was so excited for this, second time I went to use it the plastics where you put fruit in cracked. It's not just a water bottle as doesn't have workable fruit compartment. Let down :(

These type of water bottles are not for me, I prefer the filters and just add fruit and deal with it. They spill, the top can be difficult to get off. I thought they would be great so I bought two. Now they are just taking up space in my cabinet. I did try it and I thought my regular bottles had more flavor from the fruit than these.Disappointment, to each its own I guess..

I wish I had not bought this thing. It leaks, the little rubberish seal in the top that screws on won't stay put. The infuser and the thing attached to the top of that pulls out of the bottle and secures in the bottle fine. When you unscrew the top of the infuser part to put something in the infuser, you've got a battle on your hands to get the top screwed back on (it must be threaded wrong). Then another battle to get the infuser in straight. Then another battle to screw the top back on the bottle (it must be threaded wrong too). I like the size and it fits perfectly in the cup holder in vehicles. That doesn't make up for the difficulty of use. I would not recommend this water bottle.

I'm returning this. The concept is good but there's got to be a better product. The cap on the lid doesn't stay closed, it's very lightweight material, the basket insert has to be pried out, no way that thing is coming out with just fingers since there's nothing easy to get ahold of to pull it out. And it leaks water through the seal!
