Reviews on Air Up’s website have a higher average rating compared to reviews on Thingtesting.
Air Up polarizes reviewers: many say it doesn’t work and tastes like plain or chemically tainted water, while a minority report it helps them drink more when the pod is positioned correctly (mixed berry, passion fruit, wild berry, cola shine). Reviews praise the sleek design and concept but flag weak or inconsistent flavor perception, leaking bottles, difficult cleaning with mold risk, noisy/bubbly sip, and pods that fade fast.

Very disappointed. If I knew there would be a ‘bubble’ effect for it to work I wouldn’t have bought it. I have enough sensory issues and feeling like I was fighting for a drink sucked. The idea is good, but just wasn’t impressed with the light potpourri taste in my mouth instead of actual flavor.

There is t one thing different about the water. It make the water tast worst 😕very disappointing since it costs so much

Absolutely terrible. Not only does it leak constantly even though it’s brand new but it doesn’t actually work. You get a slightly noticeable flavour occasionally but the rest of the time you’re drinking plain water from a poorly made overpriced water bottle. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

Tasteless. Spoke to customer service and they said flavour varies by person apart from that they not interested. Really don’t waste your money.

Worst product ever All of the so called “flavors” smell like chemicals and give me a headache, I’d rather just drink normal water than this garbage, completely overpriced for selling a terribly scented product, I’ve had scratch and sniff stickers smell 10x better than this, don’t buy this it’s a scam

This company is a scam. The bottle may even be dangerous for your health. Despite being completely useless and expensive, the straw system got dirty very quickly and you can’t reach the inside for cleaning. And if you don’t notice it you start drinking bacteria( I got sick for one week and had to take antibiotics). They are well aware of that and they try to sell a brush on their website. Really stay away from this brand. I

People are really just not getting the way Air Up works. Take a bag of Skittles, pinch your nose and place a skittle into your mouth blind: Can you tell what the flavour is? The chances are no, because the flavour of Skittles is primarily scent based. Air Up is the same principle, and please understand that when they say scent, they don't mean your nose is involved here - it's the roof of your mouth delivering the scent based flavour. Your tongue still tastes water because that's precisely what you're drinking - water. And because I understand what it is I've bought, I'm thoroughly enjoying drinking all this water I wouldn't usually drink. My favourite pod is Wild Berry but Peach Iced Tea is a close second!

If Air Up works for you then thats great. For me it was a waste money. The flavor is there but it's not strong enough to promote any satisfying taste. For me it tasted worse than vodka, and triggered my gag reflects, which is not an easy thing to do. I am fairly disappointed and I have a firm belief that it's not worth the price. From my experience I wouldn't recommend it.

A lot of people fall for the "power of suggestion" and therefor will fall for this, really "believing" that the water has flavor just from some wafting of an odor. If this were true, if someone passed gas nearby would your water taste like sewage?

Take no notice of these reviews. I was a sceptic at first but these actually work. Just make sure to lift the pod up for it to work and get the air flowing up. I am assuming people have not used it properly but I’m telling you it definitely works. I used the lemon pod and omg tastes like water with a hint of lemon. Highly recommended give it a go. If you price the pods up compared to flavoured water it’s well worth it. Let’s face it much more healthier….

If I could give a 0 I would. Air Up is a bigger scam than an email from a iddle eastern prince asking for 10,000 dollars. Its 40 bucks plus shipping for a mediocre water bottle. It doesn't make the water taste different. Hell I could barely smell anything while drinking from it. It does nothing. Actually nothing. I'm extremely disappointed and pissed. The fact they don't give refunds for "used" product is insane because using it is the only way to know it doesn't work. Its just a professional way of saying, "You got scammed, lived with it." DO NOT BUY IT!!!

I really like this water bottle. I purchased it in order to curb a Diet coke habit and it works well. I understand some of the reviews stating that you can't really "taste" anything, but once I raised the flavor/scent pod to it's highest level, it worked great and I was able to taste a flavor in my water. I don't smell any chemicals. The whole reason I purchased the bottle was to avoid consuming unnecessary chemicals via artificial sweeteners or flavors and I think this is much better than actually drinking them. All in all, I have significantly reduced my Diet Coke intake and this water bottle is helping me drink more water, which we all know is great for health reasons. The pods are a little costly, but they are still much cheaper than constantly purchasing Diet Coke.

It was a gift from my granddaughter. Taste chemically, not palatable, straw does not stay connected well sucking air instead of water. Overall not good and too pricey.

Don’t waste your money.

It does nothing. Tastes like normal water, there is no slight taste of anything. I tried it, my children tried it, family tried it. Save your money and just buy flavoured water 😂
Feedback
Don’t sell this as a product that will get water to taste different. Just sell it for what it is - a normal water bottle.

I technically wouldn’t even rate it one star. First it doesn’t taste like any flavors. After getting my bottle I tried it several times it constantly leaks with the cap on. I’ve left it tipped over in my car and completely wet my seat. I’ve tried everything thinking maybe it was on wrong but it wasn’t still leaks. For the price it’s not worth it. Do not buy there are better water bottles out there that don’t leave for less the price and still taste like water. Also upon contacting customer service they claim you can’t return a bottle that has been used. Which doesn’t make much sense when you wouldn’t know if you didn’t use it. Terrible customer service will not buy again and I will let everyone I can know it’s a horrible product! Do not waste your time or money.

Replacement would have been ideal. But unfortunately I used the bottle. Now I will just throw out 40.00

At first I thought man I have been ripped off as I couldn't taste no pods but then I read other peoples reviews and with a bit off messing around with pulling the pods up I finally started tasting the pods especially the pear one. Do I think it's worth nearly 50 pound no but does the product do what it says yes!

AWFUL- RIP OFF - FAD
Feedback
There is no way on earth that this company warrants Four stars. The product is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!! and a totally rip off. This bottle is not worthy of being sold from a pound shop. Really, that's no joke. The bottle spills water if it gets knocked over. Like it pours out the hole in the top. The bottle isn't any different than a standard Asda, Tesco bottle. This is a FAD! a complete waste of £50 and the flavours are dreadful and synthetic! I'm old enough to know better, that I should have researched this product. With a no returns policy, unless still closed. Of course. Otherwise the majority of these bottles would have been returned! Be warned. Read the negative reviews, they all say the same thing. This product has been made famous by a Z lister from a reality show. So all the kids have followed a trend.

Really wish i had read the reviews on this before bothering. There was only a very tiny hint of "flavor" with a couple of the scent pods. My conclusion, this is a very expensive sippy cup.

Seriously do not bother buying this thing. If it's really something you want, wait until it is MUCH MUCH cheaper
