LARQ Self-Cleaning Bottle Review: 1 Year Later! (2021)

1 year since I first unpacked and reviewed the LARQ bottle and bottle movement - the first smart-self-cleaning bottles said to purify 99.99% of bacteria - here's an updated follow-up after using since. These have since been renamed Bottle PureVis and Bottle Movement PureVis after LARQ launched the non-smart cleaning insulated bottles, but everything is still practically the same.

The bigger, heavier Bottle edges it for me thanks to its double-wall insulation, especially in the blazing summer right now, but the more affordable, slimmer and lighter Bottle Movement is still a great daily driver.

Mfs who bought this be like: i forgot to charge my water bottle 😭💀💀

[gloriafloreva]

Thank you for this video! Just got my hands on my first Larq Bottle in Obsidian Black and am charging it as I write. It does seem like a really thought trough piece of gadget and I am all in for it. I will start using it today and report back. Hope it doesn't dissapoint me. 🤞 Best wishes from Bulgaria! 😊

How do you know if the LARQ bottle is in travel mode? I just got my LARQ bottle today and all the instruction said was to hold the button for 5 seconds but there are no symbols/indicator to show the travel lock is on

[JamesFromCanada]

hey bro nice video & website!

how much do you make from it all? enough to live off it? very inspiring!

[aaronhannie]

Thanks for your insight! I recently purchased the 25 oz Larq Bottle PureVis Original as I wanted the insulation. However, I am very nervous about the bottle getting dinged up. Have you tried putting the silicone sleeve from the 24 oz Movement on the 25 oz Original to see if it will fit? That would greatly help me as I really don't want to buy the neoprene travel sleeve

[shahzebmirza]

You said its good to clean it from time to time, so how often do you clean the bottle and also the lid?

[cutegirl]

how do you know when to stop filling up the water in larq? Like you said don’t fill it up to the UV light? how do you know where the light is/when to not overfill as to not touch the light ?

[louiefigz]

I think it doesn’t filter hard metals like a Britain’s filter for example. So would you say that you still taste a different when purifying tap water with the Larq?

[lynju_]

For the FAQ, why does it say it can keep the bottle hot for 12 hours then says to NOT put hot water?

[wannesdewaele]

Is this bottle made to filter tap water? I'm leaving off to Bali in 2 weeks and thinking about buying a LARQ bottle. If i poor tap water in it (which can not be drank in Bali), will it be drink-able after filtering it?

[JustaRider]

Thank you for the review. Does this get rid of the chlorine taste that's sometimes found in water from he tap?

[andersadler]

I get very annoyed with companies that try to sell their products with misleading information.
The bottle (500ml PureVis) holds 500ml, but if you fill it with exactly that volume, you won't be able to put the cap on. And if you read the manual you will see the text "Fill with clear water up to the indicator line". And that line is about 10mm above the Larq logo on the bottle. Yes, the line that lies far below the bottleneck. So the volume you can fill the bottle and get it working is around 370ml (which is 26% less than the stated 500ml). They never tell any buyer that, so most users are probably using this bottle incorrectly...

[aalikes]

Great review! My question is, does it have an app? Does it link to devices like Apple Water or the Health app on the iPhone? It would be nice to get data from it.

[charleslosey]

But it doesn't sterilize the rim so if there was ecoli or protos they're still on the lip where you put your mouth right?

[g_]

I'm more interested in what it actually does with the water does it clean it like take out all the Fluoride, Pesticides, metals, in the water??

[MoonbeameSmith]

Does it deal with viruseseses? I travel to other countries where the tap water is "suspect" so I need a filter/light/system that kills Everything. (I already filter for lumps while camping etc)

[ThomasCrovvn]

Where’s the 1 year later review? This sounds like a standard review or comparison of the 2 bottles

[michellestanding]

Hi
Great video
I have just bought one of the bottle
🇬🇧

[donnacarano]

Do you need to unlock the filter to use or only when replacing the filter?

[tomle]

Why do the instructions shake to give the the bottle a “whirl” if the stainless steel reflects the UV light? Do you shake a little, shake a lot? 5 secs, 30 secs, the full 60 sec clean cycle?
