Also, can you clean the water bottle itself in the dishwasher? I know on the website they say soapy water... but they only explicitly say to not put the cap in the dishwasher... so... can the bottle itself without the cap be cleaned in the dishwasher then?
I haven’t tried to do so but I think it would be fine in the dishwasher without the cap. The real tech is in the cap itself and I’ve just done a soapy water wash (remove filter pod). I’d be more concerned about the finish over time with powerful dishwasher chemicals possibly eroding the bottle itself.
The original bottle was able to - I have two sizes of the original. Just dry completely and it’s great. I only ever really have to give it a scrub once every few weeks - if not using the dishwasher I’ll just give it a quick rinse or use a tiny bit of dish soap on a bottle brush is more than enough to clean it. And you can use a straw cleaning brush to clean the lid and handwashing it if needed. But I’ve done a two week long roadtrip without washing with soap, the uv filter is great for preventing anything yucky.
I have found the weight to not be a problem at all for me. Although, I’ve always used heavier more insulated water bottles. Thanks for the kind words and the sub. Definitely have more videos on the way relating this product specifically.
what is the charging time? Can you charge it with any sort of fast charging power bricks? My old UVC water bottle needed a very specific slow USB 2.0 charger
I will double check on that charging time as I just randomly charged it one night. I’ve not tried any specific fast charging brick. However, I haven’t used the USB-C cord they included in the box yet and it charges fine for me just using random USB-C cords I have laying around my house.
@@blackph0enix thank you for looking into this. Please let me know here when you find out. i would want to order one as soon as possible but this thing really annoyed me at my previous bottle:)
@@robertdumitrescu4423 Not yet but as soon as I can run a test myself I will. My bottle is on 64% right now so it might be awhile. The Larq customer support just said “should take a few hours”. Which doesn’t mean much to me.
What about the straw? Is there a strong resistance when you drink from it? Compared to a normal straw bottle like a Hydroflask? I wouldnt like it if I had to suck very hard when drinking from a filterstraw.
@@MitchConner03 you can’t currently get around the fact you have to suck the water out. They have stated on their kickstarter they are going to create a full length filter less straw, but I don’t know if that will make a difference with overall suckage.

fantastic video by the way. Also, how do you find the weight of it? You just earned yourself a new subscriber :)

Any update on this?

I used their original one and it worked fine with multiple different chargers I had around the house. Hopefully the same with this one.

@@lehntube There is an increased resistance compared to a normal straw. I personally did not have an issue with it though.
If you aren’t using the filter does the water fall freely? Or do you have to suck the water out of the bottle no matter what?

How is the taste of the water?
@@tat.t.y.l6293 It tastes great!
Same here, it taste like good water bottle water.
