I purchased this item, thinking it would fit in my refrigerator door where the milk jugs go. It does not. It also does not fit easily under the tap on my refrigerator door to fill, although it DOES with some finagling. Which is also what I had to do to find a spot in my refrigerator, since my door plan fell through. Luckily, I have one shelf that slides back to fit tall items and that is where it sits. Undesirable, but works. The bottle itself is fine except for the design of the lid. It is attached to the bottle with a swivel, so when you open the bottle, you have to make sure to hold the swivel still or you will never get the bottle open. I would not say it is easy to clean, either. Although using it to fill a glass throughout the day, I don't see the need to clean it every day. It is only mine, and I do not drink from the bottle. All that being said, having this bottle has motivated me to drink more water. I don't follow the guidelines printed on the side of the bottle, I just make sure it is all gone at the end of the day. Since I made this purchase, I have not missed a day where I have emptied it. So I would say all in all it is serving the purpose for which it was purchased. Making sure I was getting enough water every day was the goal, and I reach that every day now.
