Our Analysis
Specs

The 13-ounce EarthLust Bottle is made by California-based, family owned EarthLust. The company was founded by a mom who wanted to find safe bottles for her children, and this backstory may appeal to some buyers. The 18/8 stainless-steel EarthLust bottles are BPA-free, and come in 13-, 22- and 33-ounce sizes. EarthLust's distinguishing feature is a wide variety of designs. The bottle features a small opening, which makes it easier to drink from but more difficult to clean. Sport tops are available instead of the bottles' standard screw top with carabiner.

While there are few critical professional reviews of the 13-ounce EarthLust Bottle, it's included in HuffingtonPost.com's list of "Best Reusable Water Bottles" and in Vegetarian Times' "BPA-Free at Last." The website SafeWaterBottleReview.com reviews this bottle as well, though it isn't a very critical review. Amazon.com users provide the greatest wealth of information about this bottle's pros and cons.

It isn't clear exactly how the bottles were chosen for the list, and readers give the EarthLust Bottle a 6.6 out of 10. Compared to other bottles this score isn't bad, but there's little information to back up the score.
