SteadMax [2 Pack] Hot Water Bottles, 2L (68oz) Natural Rubber -BPA Free- Durable Large Hot Water Bag for Hot Compress and Heat Therapy, Pain Relief Heating Pad, (Random Colors)

We use these at my work all the time. So I decided to ditch my electric warmer, and get these. I gifted one, and kept one.Pros:No need to plug in and be limited to where you can stay warm. Put hot water in, close it up and put it under a blanket- It keeps it so toasty! I’ve used it to keep my toes toasty, my cramps at ease, my little dogs warm, for cold winter days while our wood stove heats the house. It’s endless!Cons:It’s a bit thinner than my work ones, and the smell stayed for quite a while. But it wasn’t too bad.

Good price & working fine, since I followed the directions & didn't run it through the dishwasher or try to clean the smell of rubber out of something made out of rubber. I've been careful to not use water over 180F like it says, the initial rubber smell has faded a lot after a couple months, and in all ways this has been a good deal for a hot water bottle I use all the time & a backup I may not need for quite awhile

Got the water just below boiling & put in the bottle - the bottle seals well and seems durable but the edges that don’t have the grooves are VERY hot and may burn if in direct contact. Use extreme caution if you put in water that is at a burning temperature. Not sure having the ridges will be a good thing for having enough heat on an area where the edges will be at least 20 degrees hotter - they may act more as insulation and keep the larger area from giving off the heat you need. Will update in a day or two after more uses.

We ordered these to replace our worn-out bottle. These seal at the cap great. And we liked the price.

Muy bueno

2nd day using this product and it hold heat very well. Well made also.

These cost $5 apiece, half or less than half the price of most well-reviewed water bottles. I got a 2-pack. The first one reeked of gasoline. Chemical odors don't bother me that much. The odor usually goes away. But I have to agree with the negative reviews that the odor was very unpleasant. It was obviously treated or made out of with some kind of chemical that smells like gasoline. But it only took a couple of minutes to wash most of it away. I had to use a brush because the water bottles are ribbed on both sides. I also put it thru the dishwasher. After all of that, the odor was about 90% gone. After a couple of weeks, the odors seems to be about 99% gone. Interestingly, the second water bottle in the 2-pack had no odor at all. The one that one that had to be washed is blue. The one that had no odor is green.These water bottles seem to work just as well as the more expensive ones. They're slightly smaller and the hole for where you pour the water is much smaller. And both sides are ribbed. For me, these water bottles are adequate backups and a good deal at $5 each.UPDATE: After a few months, the odor has gone away on the blue one. These water bottles get really HOT fast. These are much hotter than the ones that are designed to retain heat. Because they're immediately hot, they also cool off quicker and need to be refilled more often.2nd UPDATE: Now these are leaking all over the place, even with the cap screwed on tight. Can't be trusted. Reducing from 5 stars to 1 star.

A. it smells funny (a chemical smell) that doesnt go away.B. the lid does not close nearly as tightly as other hot water bottles we have had over the years, as a result it loses heat rather quickly, which beats the purpose.After a month i am convinced it is trash. I wanted to return it but my wife insisted it if i send it back "it just goes to trash" and we shiould do our part to save the planet. little did i know, it is trash even if i keep it.
