In this case, I opted for the 500ml / 17oz version in the stainless steel color. I chose the 500ml size because the water bottle is being tested for everyday usability by my 6-year-old son, so I wanted it to be lightweight. As for the stainless steel color, I decided on it because the bottle will be cleaned in the dishwasher, and based on experience, a non-coated bottle tends to have a longer lifespan.
Now, let's delve into how the Super Sparrow Water Bottle has fared during the first 2 months of rigorous everyday testing.
The Super Sparrow Water Bottle in Everyday Use
The Super Sparrow water bottle comes with a surprisingly generous package, unlike most water bottles. With the Super Sparrow, you'll receive:
- Sports cap (+ 2 inner drinking straws)
- Stainless steel screw cap
- Cleaning brush (for the drinking straw)
- Black neoprene sleeve
- Carabiner
- Carry strap
Considering the price of just over €20, this is quite impressive.
Depending on your preference and usage, you can choose which cap to use. The stainless steel cap has a bottom made of stainless steel and a top made of cork. The advantage of this design is that the liquid never comes into contact with plastic. However, the downside is that you need to unscrew the entire cap to drink. Additionally, the complete removal of the cap may slightly affect the bottle's insulation capabilities as it allows more air exchange.
The sports cap is connected to an inner drinking straw, eliminating the need to tilt the bottle when drinking and never having to open the cap. This has been my son's preferred drinking method, and I must say, I'm completely satisfied with it. The sports cap is completely leak-proof, and the entire bottle can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
For transportation, you also have a practical black neoprene sleeve at your disposal, which can be combined with the carry strap or carabiner. It's perfect for attaching to a backpack, for example. The screw cap also has a handle, allowing it to be used in combination with the carabiner. The Super Sparrow water bottle offers nearly endless possibilities for use and transportation.
In the past two months, I have regularly cleaned the bottle, drinking straw, and sports cap in the dishwasher. None of them have been affected, and they continue to function just like they did on the first day. For those who want to clean the drinking straw more thoroughly, the provided round brush is available.
