0.5 Liter Carbonating Bottles in White

The bottles themselves are totally fine, and I much prefer the 500mL size to the 1L bottles that came with the soda maker. at the time i purchased these, my local bed bath and beyond only carried the larger bottles. my two main complaints with these are:

1) the bottles are not dishwasher safe. why not? nalgene makes polycarbonate bottles that are BPA-free and dishwasher safe. I assume these bottles contain BPA and that is the reason they cannot be heated in the dishwasher. it''s annoying to wash them manually. maybe i''ve been spoiled by the dishwaher.

2) they have an unusually wide lip on the base of the plastic piece adhered to the bottom of the bottle. so despite their smaller total volume, they still do not fit in my car''s cupholders.

edit: since buying these, iv''e seen that bed bath and beyond now carries a 500mL bottle that is dishwasher safe AND has no lip around the bottom.

For me the bottles are functional and do serve a purpose, but in the most basic ways it seems that thought or time wasn''t put into the design.

It looks like a mini soda bottle but with a plastic bottom on it. This is not a streamlined normal bottom, but a hard lipped one that looks like it snaps on. At that, both bottles I received weren''t mounted straight in the bottom, and they''re glued in.

On top of that, there is a dob of glue in the base of each that is brown and looks like soda syrup-like a stain or dirt in the bottom of the bottle.

So all in all they function, carbonate properly and seal, but from a simple perspective they look silly. Picture attached.

I absolutely hate these bottles. I''m not even going to use them. The picture is so misleading. They have done some flaring bottom on this which is ''UGLY'' and now it doesn''t fit in my cup holder. I would have never bought it had they stipulated that it''s different from the standard bottle. I feel that I wasted my money.

The vendor needs to post a proper picture. The picture is misleading as it does not illustrate a major difference between this bottle and every other bottle out there.

My husband recently bought these smaller bottles for me and I found, after using the larger bottles, they have a tendency to blow soda water all over the place. You can''t wait for the "buzz" when filling these as you will have water everywhere. Just a short shot of the soda gas and then remove the bottle for capping. I too am not happy about the type of plastic used in these bottles and the wide base, as an another reviewer noted. Also, I am constantly refilling these which, I guess, means I''m hydrating a lot but it also means a number of trips to the kitchen daily for a refill. If in doubt, go with the bigger bottles. You can then pour into a smaller bottle that fits your car''s cup holders if you need to be on the go.

Just disappointed with this product. I bottoms attached to flimsy plastic stands, the bottle can not stand up straight without this stand. Doesn''t fit into cup holders in both cars. These can not go in the dishwasher. For less than $10 maybe this would be ok with this product but at 18.95 they are a rip-off. Keep looking.
