The Brita Premium Filtering Water Bottle 26oz ranks last because its filter improves taste rather than making unsafe water safe, but it is a cheap fix for travelers who dislike the taste of city tap water. Brita says the bottle is WQA Certified to reduce chlorine (taste and odor) and particulates as you drink, through a filter fitted to an enclosed easy-sip straw. One Brita Bottle Filter is included, and Brita says to replace it every 40 gallons, or about every 2 months. The hard-sided plastic body is made without BPA, is dishwasher safe on the top rack, weighs 0.48 lbs and stands 10.55 in tall. It costs $23.99. The trade-offs: Brita makes no claim about bacteria or viruses, so it is not a substitute for the GRAYL where tap water is unsafe, it is not insulated, and filters are an ongoing cost. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bottle.
