Larq Reviews
Experience
I've had multiple Larq bottles, and unfortunately, after a while, they started developing a noticeable steel smell, which was a turn-off. But, their customer service is absolutely amazing. Seriously, they went above and beyond to make things right when I reached out to them. It's so refreshing to see a company that genuinely cares about their customers.
Experience
I have 2 of these, a small insulated bottle and a large non-insulated bottle. I used to use a Nalgene, and even with weekly washes it would start to smell easily. With my Larq, as gross as it sounds, I haven't washed it in years (except wiping the top rim), and never once had issues with weird smells or tastes. The only annoying part is having to charge it; I wish they'd add a Qi or MagSafe wireless charger on the top of the lid to make charging easier.
Experience
I have two bottles from Larq and love how easy they are to use, especially while traveling. I just wish the lid was a little lighter because the bottle becomes quite heavy when it's full.
Experience
the rubber on the cap fell off after a while (a little over a year) and it made water leak :-( sad that this occurred considering how pricey this water bottle is
Experience
Bought the very first version of it. Love it. After a fair usage it got scratched easily.
Experience
I’m not sure if I got a faulty bottle / filter, but it’s nearly impossible to drink out of it. I never use it because of this reason, when I do use it my mouth becomes swollen because of how hard I need to try.
Feedback
Don’t buy this. Some people seem to have my experience but others don’t. But the fact that I’m not alone means they have manufactured a bunch of faulty bottles. This was way too expensive of a purchase for this to be the outcome.
Experience
I received a Larq bottle for free from work and was so surprised. The bottle is super heavy duty, very nice feeling. I have been using it for 2 years now and it’s still going strong. You only have to charge it once every month, which is wild to me. I love the fact that they automatically clean every 30 minutes or so even without touching the button so you don’t have to do it.
Feedback
I think this bottle is super nice but it does get dent pretty easily. I dropped it once and it’s already dent.

Experience
It's great to have a portable way to drink water that you know is clean! It's especially handy for peace of mind when traveling and hiking. The charge for the LED light in the lid lasts for a pretty long time on one charge so its very convenient. I did think the tag line of a self-cleaning water bottle was a bit misleading at first since I (optimistically) thought I could also never wash my water bottle again which is not true 😅 though you definitely have to wash the bottle a less than regular water bottles.

Experience
I love this water bottle! It's pretty straight-forward, has a light that sanitizes the bottle & curbs any bad smells! Alongside that, it's also super durable & keep drinks cold allllll day!
Experience
Honestly this is such a cool product and it is on me for misreading what I was buying. I thought it would make tap water taste better/filter the water, which it did not. It also is a little heavy and does not keep water cold for long periods, but if I were to go camping, I would definitely take my LARQ with me.

- Make it lighter - Better insulation
