Larq reviews and discussion

Over the past few years. I have been trying to become more and more environmentally friendly. This means that I will thrift instead of buying new, bring my own container for leftovers at restaurants, and of course, use a metal water bottle when possible. This last one has actually proven to be quite the challenge as reusable water bottles present two big obstacles with my current lifestyle. 1. They are typically quite big and heavy. As someone that constantly likes to sip here and there, I cannot fit most water bottles into my mini backpack and have to bring a separate bag to carry one in. 2. Reusable water bottles require cleaning, and I believe it is even recommended to clean them every single day. I hate to say it but I am very lazy when it comes to cleaning and washing a bottle out daily is not yet part of my routine. So because of this I have stuck with plastic bottles. I do recycle them but not only are plastic bottles not truly recyclable (they get upcycled at best), I keep hearing more and more about the microplastics that enter your body because of them. With these things in mind, I have a renewed drive to stop my old habits. I have many reusable water bottles and sadly they do end up smelling and even with cleaning tablets and lots of scrubbing, the smell does come back relatively quickly. Then along came my discovery of LARQ. This brand claims its bottles neutralize odor causing batería with its UV-C light. I’ve heard a lot about these lights but have never owned a product that uses it. Like a lot of other good quality bottles it is vacuum insulated to keep drinks hot or cold for a long time. Immediately it was clear to me that this bottle was really well made. You do need to charge the bottle every once in a while and give it a rinse, but that’s basically all the maintenance required. After using this bottle for a few months I am happy to report that it still does not smell at all! I will say that the cleaning cycle is supposed to happen every two hours, but as it is super quick, I rarely catch it doing the cleaning, and I like to manually press the top to make the cleaning cycle run just in case. So as far as I can tell this bottle is really doing its job. While it does not solve the issue of fitting into my backpack, not having to clean it every day makes it worth lugging around. That being said, this convenience does come at a pretty steep price. This is definitely the most expensive water bottle I have purchased. But it was a worthwhile investment. I will say I am now tempted to buy a sipper cap or a travel sleeve. I love this bottle and hope to use it for many years to come!

When I opened my Brita to change the filter and discovered mold, I was horrified! That little incident sent me on a quest for a new water filter. As a health coach who loves to research, I dove deep into my options and decided to try the Larq Pure Vis—and it's nothing short of amazing! I've been using Larq pitchers for over a year—this is my second one, but only because the first met an untimely end during a move. The device lights up while purifying your water, which is not just cool, but also reassuring. It effectively filters out lead, PFAS, chlorine, and a whole host of other contaminants, delivering healthy, delicious water every time. Another plus is that the filter lasts a long time. The pitcher has a sleek design I leave on the counter, and best of all, there’s ZERO mold thanks to its self-cleaning feature. No mold, no worries—I’m officially a devoted fan!

I have had a very good experience with LARQ. I purchased the LARQ Bottle PureVis 2 and enjoy it. It came with a filter and tracks my hydration seamlessly. If I drink anything other than water out of the bottle I manually add how much I had to drink and what the beverage was on the app. Set up was easy but at first I was a little confused at first which end the filter went into the holder but there’s a video about it on the app when you are setting it up. The water bottle goes to bed with me at nights I have a CPAP and wake up dehydrated throughout the night and in the morning. Drinking out of the bottle without any spills or leaks is wonderful. I just wouldn’t recommend tipping the bottle too far up. Overall I’ve had a really good experience with the LARQ Bottle and would recommend it. I received partial refund in exchange for my honest opinion.

I have recently started using the Lara PureBis 2 Smart Water Bottle and I love it. There are several features I love about this bottle. I really like the fact that it has a 60 second cycle that kills 99.99% of viruses and bacteria. Another great plus is this holds my water temperature cold for up to 24 hours and my hot drinks for up to 12 hours. This bottle has a great battery life so I don’t have to charge it often. It is easy to charge with the USB-C port. I like that this connects to my phone and tracks my water intake. I am very happy with this water bottle. The technology is above anything I have ever tried.

I have been using this bottle for a month now and I like it so far. It is hard to tell if all the claims made by this product is true and you done really get to see it in action. There are some things I like about this, the designs is pretty cool and looks contemporary. The insulation is the bottle is pretty good. My water temperature holds for almost 24 hours. the hydration tracking is pretty cool. Every time you drink off of it and put it on a flat surface, the app instantly tells you how much you consumed and lately, you don't have to clean it as it is advertised as a self cleaning water bottle which I love. The things i don't like is obviously the price and hate that there is a constant change of filter. I haven't had to change it yet but I know its coming and I am not looking forward to it. The app claims that it sends reminders to drink water but I am yet to receive the notification. Lastly, given the price tag, I wish it was trackable via the app. This bottle is most suitable for travelers and hikers.

This is my second larq bottle. I was excited for this one due to the clipping handle and straw and taking it on international travels to help me feel better about the water I was getting and ingesting. I love the idea and the concept and it truly makes water crisper and makes me feel better about what I’m drinking. Love that it has a small filter, the mouth part is easy to use when the straw cooperates, but thats like 1 in 10 times when drinking it. I haven't quite figured out that you can slip it or tip it and it works best.. because the straw is always malfunctioning because its too heavy at the bottom. However, my low star rating with it is that my straw kept falling out, it doesn’t secure in the lid tightly and was just loose all the time and would just fall out and I would have to stick my hands in there to fix it before drinking each time. So for that reason I don’t recommend because it not worth trying to fix every time you go to drink from it.

The LARQ Bottle PureVis 2 is a sleek, high-tech water bottle that brings convenience and cleanliness to hydration. The standout feature is its self-cleaning UV-C light, which helps eliminate bacteria and odors, keeping your water fresh. The hydration tracking via the LARQ app is a great addition for those looking to monitor their water intake. Plus, the double-wall insulation ensures drinks stay cold for extended periods. However, the bottle leaks occasionally, which can be inconvenient, especially for travel or going to the gym. Additionally, while the hydration tracking is a great idea, the app’s measurements aren't always accurate, which can be frustrating. Despite these minor drawbacks, the LARQ Bottle PureVis 2 is a great choice for those looking for a high-tech, self-cleaning bottle that promotes healthier hydration habits.

I was truly impressed with this water bottle, I was never a Stanley girl and this was something I was weary of completely. It proved me wrong. Day 1 l kept checking to see if it was cold and sure enough it was, the crisp taste of the water never left. Then 3 days later after I left it at my office I came back and it was still cold and crisp and just made me think of how magical this thing really is. Stanley could never complete. I love the design and color of it, versatile and gender neutral... my husband can use and won't think it's girly. I like how it's not heavy and it's hard metal where it doesn't dent or scratch easily. Very well designed! Lastly I think this would be good for teens or older people, people who are always on the go and those who like to be at leisure at home.

I got the LARQ water bottle and I love it very much. It look very stylish and it is very convenient. It keeps water cold for a long period of time. Also, I like this innovative feature of self-cleaning. It gives you a peace of mind knowing that you always have purified water. Another great thing is that you have an App linked to your bottle showing the status of your filter, keeping track of your water intake. When it is the time to drink your water, the bottle has a light that flashes. It is very cool. I am very happy with my purchase because it is a high quality well designed reusable water bottle.

I recently tried the LARQ Bottle PureVis 2. It arrived well-packaged, and the water bottle includes its own filter. The instructions were easy to follow. It's a pleasing matte white color with a textured surface for a good grip. I tested the filter's effectiveness by filling the bottle with tap water and activating the filter using either the app or the button on the bottle; both methods worked well. To my delight, the filtered tap water tasted excellent. A side-by-side comparison with unfiltered tap water clearly showed the filter's effectiveness. This bottle is perfect for on-the-go hydration, allowing me to refill with tap water anywhere and enjoy great-tasting filtered water. The app helpfully monitors my water intake and provides personalized daily recommendations based on my age and activity level. Overall, it's a fantastic smart water bottle that filters water, tracks intake, and boasts a long-lasting charge. The water filter will only begin filtering once it is manually activated either on the bottle or through the app. The app's battery life indicator is a full shaded image; despite a charge time of less than a day, it has lasted nearly four weeks. I removed the filter to verify the app's filter life percentage. It began at 100% upon installation on December 22nd; by December 28th, it showed 92%, after only two uses with tap water. To test the accuracy, I removed the filter completely, and the percentage continued to decrease. It was at 92% when removed and 77% on January 5th, even without use. Therefore, I would not trust the app's filter life percentage indicator.

I bought a supposedly new PureVis LARQ bottle from their website and when I opened the box I found this. Zero quality control and zero customer support. Avoid making the same mistake.

I really love having this bottle. I was a tad skeptical at first, but it has exceeded my expectations. I like that there is a do not disturb feature to use at night so the white glow doesn’t bother you. I love that it’s self cleaning. I’m able to only clean it once a week unless I’ve messed up the top with lipstick. Then I just wipe the top down. The app is great and seems accurate as long as I set the water bottle down so the sensor can read properly. I always know it’s checking water levels when it glows. It even flashes when it’s time to drink or refill as a reminder. The water stays cool overnight. I like that there’s an adventure mode for extra sanitation. I’m definitely loving this bottle!

I love the Larq personal bottles. The 1st generation one had two caps - one for filtering and the other for sanitizing. Then the 2nd generation one came out with it combined in one cap. That is awesome and gives me confidence I am drinking clean purified water. Add in the subscription for the filter cartridge and it's a perfect system that keeps me going. I am still waiting for the Gen 2 phone app for android.

This water bottle is a significant improvement over the previous version. The detachable handle is convenient for clipping onto a messenger bag or backpack. The USB charger is more practical than the old micro-USB cable, and the cap is much more resistant to drops. Definitely worth the price.

My Larq self-cleaning water bottle has revolutionized my hydration habits. The UV purification gives peace of mind when refilling at questionable gym water fountains, and it's eliminated the persistent 'water bottle smell' my previous bottles developed.

I absolutely love my LARQ drink bottles. My husband and I both have one and it's made our life so much more simple. We are often on the go, for sport or travelling domestically and internationally. We used to worry about consuming low-quality water or we would opt for bottled water. With LARQ, we no longer need to! It's filter works so great and the bottle is super easy to carry around, not to mention it's sleek and modern looking! The carabiner makes for an easy clip on to our bags. We also find that it keeps our water cold for ages.

Larq is an innovative brand that delivers on its promise of clean, self-purifying water bottles. The technology is impressive, keeping water fresh and eliminating bacteria with UV-C light. The build quality is solid, and the convenience of not having to constantly wash the bottle is a major plus. However, the design could use some improvement—while functional, it lacks a bit of aesthetic appeal compared to other premium bottles. Overall, it’s a great product with top-tier functionality, but a sleeker look would make it even better.

The LARQ bottle has a sleek design and a great self-cleaning UV feature, which is a cool innovation for keeping water fresh. It’s convenient for travel and reduces the need for constant scrubbing. However, the high price doesn’t always feel justified, especially since the UV light doesn’t filter out contaminants—it just neutralizes bacteria. Also, the bottle can be heavier than expected. Overall, it’s a nice gadget but not a must-have, especially if you already have a good water bottle and a filter.

obvi the design is absolutely gorgeous and i love the idea of it but i never use this bottle!!! for almost $100 for a water bottle, really think before you buy if you'll actually use it, especially if you have clean water accessible to you

Ok first the cons (slow shipping). Now on to the pros: I bought a black Larq purevis 2 (omg my water has never tasted so clean?!) it does what is says - plus it never gets that funky bottle smell. This is what sold me, so I bought a second one in white (larger size). Large one with me at all times at home, smaller one out and about. Ok so since I was sold on these, I had to buy the pitcher! Again, sold.
