I've been using several of these bottles, daily, for several years. Don't know how they should be expected to be indestructible. The key factoid is how much water remains in one of these bottles when they're dropped; a gallon of water isn't featherweight. Empty bottles merely bounce. For full bottles, it's a matter of drop distance to what kind of surface. Partially-full bottles are much more resilient. I have irreparably cracked one; it was freshly filled and I dropped it onto concrete...stuff happens. They're otherwise sturdy, including the form factor handles. While I currently use these bottles for indoor household purposes, I've been lifelong car camper and outdoorsman who's used water containers of a variety of sizes and materials. These bottles are my preference among all of my previous selections. There can be no perfect bottle but these have proven to meet my needs as well as any other. Despite my paranoia about their ordinary-looking cap has not been supported. Their price is easily justified by their serviceability. As I finish this review, I intend to order another one; I dropped a 3/4-full bottle on rubbery vinyl flooring...no crack, just a new blemish that won't leak. But I prefer a spare, just in case. YMMV, but I'm sold on this product.I really like this bottle. I first starting carrying a gallon of water in the plastic milk jug containers. That worked well but I didn't like the cliche gym look taking it everywhere. This bottle was about the best deal out there. Walmart had it for a little bit more price. The bottle is sturdy. I carry it to work and the gym. I've dropped it once with the fear of it cracking but it was fine. I notice that I'll drink the full gallon with this type of bottle than getting up 4 times to refill my 32 oz bottle. I've gotten comments on how cute the pink color one is. I would definitely buy again if needed.My first purchase of this bottle had a leak that I could not pinpoint somewhere on the bottom. I would fill it full with water and put it in the fridge and come morning there would be a small puddle below it. I brought this up with customer support, wanting to return the item, who requested I send them a picture of my problem and the leak area. Needless to say, seeing as I couldn't locate it I couldn't take a very good picture. Even with my issue Sunshine Trading LLC worked with me and sent out a replacement free of charge. New bottle works perfect with no leaks. Going to be heavily used come the summer!I enjoy feeding hummingbirds, but with so many fruit juice and other bottles in my fridge I needed something that would stand out, make clear it's purpose, this bottle which I purchased in the red color does that, I am able to quickly id it as the bottle I've filled with hummingbird food. I love that it's BPA free so I fill okay about keeping the nectar in it for the summer and fall. I also like the handle which makes it easy to hold and use.I still have the jug. I love it. Buying another one soon. I have had it for a year with no issues. Just have to let it air out to avoid having too much bacteria get into them. No cracks and breaks, having dropped it either. That may be why. I've used in rotation with another water jug to give sufficient time to air out. Used about 100 times, I drink about one gallon a day and bought it back in January 2017.I absolutely love this bottle. I live in Florida and have to worry about hurricanes and decided to start buying these types of bottles instead of having to buy bottled water and use all that plastic! Of the ones I have purchased, this bottle is my favorite. I love all the colors and they are relatively sturdy. Will definitely buy more!I ordered purple and black, the purple one didn't have a color-matched cap, the tone was off by A LOT. And the black cap has just a white foam-like disc inside to keep it sealed and it harbored a lot of bacteria under it. I cleaned it in soap and hot water and it came clean but it is deteriorating and won't last long. The purple cap came with a built-in silicon ring to seal it and it has been fine.Wanted to use this for a daily visual as to how much water I take in a day. It is quite heavy though when full. I have issues with my arms and hands so it didn't work out for me as I had hoped.
