Customer Reviews of Transparent Classic Hot Water Bottle - Made in Germany
Customer Review: Great product! *Measurements and Label included in review*
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, it is clear and sturdy. The best bottle I've ever used. I have bought 6 of these and they are all flawless!
I recommend buying the clear bottle since you can visually inspect if the seam to see if it is getting weak in any areas. The seam is thick and strong, but it appears to be thinner at the neck. So I try to avoid stressing that area.
There was a lemon scent when new to mask the plastic smell. I washed the outside of the bottle with warm water and a mild soap and the lemon smell disappeared. I've used one of the bottles about a dozen times now and there's still a faint generic plastic smell, but it's only noticeable if I have the bottle an inch away from my nose.
The plastic is pretty thick which means it take a while for the heat to radiate through it. I preheat it under hot tap water for about 10 seconds before filling it.
When I fill it with hot tap water (mine is about 120°F, but I think 140°F is normal), the bottle stays warmer than room temp for about 2 hours if I don't move it around much. 120°F through thermoplastic is not hot enough to sooth any aches, but can still provide some warmth.
Other times I pull out my tea kettle and fill it with nearly boiling water (180-200°F) the bottle stays very hot for many hours. The neck of the bottle stays cool enough to hold while filling it with near boiling water. I've been sleeping with one at my feet and it is still lukewarm 7 hours later. I sometimes use full boiling water (212°F) and haven't seen any problems other than it is really hot!
The bottle comes with a little hanger attached on the top of the water bottle (where you fill it). I don't know if the hanger is just for storage or retail purposes. The hanger is detachable, but I am disappointed that it won't fit in the hole on the bottom of the bottle to hang it upside-down for drying or storage. Problem solved with looping a rubberband tying a loop of string/ribbon a few inches long to the bottom hole. A practical solution for hanging upside down should have been included.
Note: I don't have a use for the hanger so I removed it and tied the plug to the hole left behind so I don't lose it.
I did some searching and found UV light causes "thermalplastic" to yellow. I'm not sure if this is the same exact material used in the water bottles, but I try to keep mine covered.
*Sept 22, 2010 update: My bottles still work great and look like new! On hot days I've put them in the freezer and it made an excellent ice pack!
*Nov 26, 2010 update: Using them daily again. No signs of wear. Works great and clear like new! Cat also loves it under his cardboard box.
Product Info:
Water bottle: 7.5 inches wide and 10 inches tall (12.5 inches tall including funnel). Less than 1/2 inch thick when empty. One side of the bottle is smooth and the other side has diagonal ridges on it. The smooth side is noticeably hotter.
Volume: The bottle holds about 2 quarts of water (or 1/2 gallon or 64 ounces) when filled to the top. Note that you should only fill it 2/3 full so no more than 43 ounces of water should actually be used or almost 1.5 quarts.
Seam: 1/4" thick all around and tapers to 1/8" thick at the neck.
Filling hole: The hole where the plug screws into is 1 inch in diameter.
Neck (threaded part where the plug/stopper is inserted): About 2" wide and perfectly round and about 3/4" tall. The neck is seated inside the bottle is made of hard white plastic (nylon?). The shape is slightly tapered (top wider than the bottom) which makes it a great place to hold the bottle while filling. It does not get too hot to hold.
Plug: Threaded hard white plastic (or nylon?) with no gasket or washer. When screwed in, the plug comes in contact with the thermalplastic lip holding the neck in place that acts as it's own seal. The plug also has a tiny hole drilled into the handle to tie it to the bottle. It originally comes tied to the hanger, which I found useless. Plug's handle is about 1" tall and 1.5" wide. --Good for big fingers.
Built-in funnel: Oval shape about 2" wide and 3.25" long and about 2" deep (from the neck to the top of the funnel). --Also good for big fingers.
