About LifeStraw Sip Reusable Stainless Steel Water Filter Drinking Straw
Overall Feedback:
96% positive
93% praised for its long-lasting durability
This product is a worthwhile investment for travelers and campers alike.
In my opinion, Lifestraw is the best of the bunch.
90% appreciated its easy cleaning, while 10% found it high maintenance
The mouthpiece and filter entry are made of silicone and can be easily removed for cleaning.
The LifeStraw Sip is easy to clean by blowing through it, giving it a shake, and can be stored after use within a day or so, just like the original blue straw.
I used anti-bacterial wipes to clean the unit and kept it upright to dry in between uses. It seems to be fine.
Some effort is required to keep the straw effective, including expelling water, storing it upright, and regular cleaning of the silicone mouthpiece and end cap to prevent mildew.

94% found it easy to using, while 6% had difficulties
Using the LifeStraw sip is as easy as using any straw, except for the first few sips while the straw filter is hydrating.
This filter looks much better than the blue plastic of the original LifeStraw and is great.
Once used, the product needs to be stored upright which is difficult while traveling and inconvenient at home due to the risk of knocking it over.
92% appreciated its effectiveness, but 8% questioned its effectiveness
The LifeStraw Sip is as effective as the blue plastic tube, but much nicer to look at.
The LifeStraw Sip has a functional design that ensures water remains free from unwanted flavors, although it requires more suction than a standard straw.
I trust the LifeStraw brand to remove nearly all harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites and even plastics from the water when used as directed.
To keep the straw effective, I need to expel water, store it upright, and regularly clean the mouthpiece and end cap to prevent mildew.
94% liked its lightweight and compact design, but 6% found it bulky
This straw is ideal for emergency situations and can be easily carried in a backpack, glove box, or first aid kit.
The Sip case is almost 10.25 inches long and cannot fit into a pocket for convenient access.
84% praised for its fast water flow rate, while 16% found it slow
I am dissatisfied with the product due to its slow water flow rate, making it difficult to suck water through it.
96% liked its ability to filter large quantities of water
On longer hikes and camping trips, this filter is useful as a backup to my main filter system.
