Customer Reviews of Mabis Dmi Healthcare Rubber Water Bottle, Red, One
Customer Review: A pain to fill up
Summary: 2 Stars
Having grown up in Germany where bedrooms are/were not really heated I've always been used to using a hot water bootle in the winter. It's unfortunate these aren't more widely used as they keep you comfortable at much lower temperatures at night. As such, I would even say this is a "green" product.
Anyway, this was the first hot wate bottle we bought in the States, and the one big downfall is that the fill hole is so small that it takes quite a while to fill up and you risk scalding your hands. With a family of five, this can become quite arduous...
Like the other reviewers said, it does also smell very rubbery, but I think so do all these products. Hey, it's made from natural rubber!
Haven't found a good alternative here, so we just bought a few with nice large fill holes during a visit to Germany.
Customer Review: Works well but stinks (literally)
Summary: 2 Stars
This bottle is better than the last couple I've had in that it's rubber and has a good stopper that doesn't leak. However it SMELLS BAD. I thought the horrible rubber smell would clear up but after 2 months it's still there. Going to try Transparent Classic Hot Water Bottle - Made in Germany next.Customer Review: It's true -- the smell is HORRIBLE
Summary: 2 Stars
I didn't read the previous person's review about the smell, but I wish I had. That review was absolutely correct. This has a very very strong and horrible rubbery/latexy smell that made it unusable. I soaked it overnight in soapy water hoping that would "wash away" the stench but it didn't. They were unusable and I ended up giving them away. On the plus side, they did keep the heat in well.Customer Review: bad smell
Summary: 2 Stars
I ended up throwing it away because of the strong smell. There is no way I would let me kids take that into their bed and have them sniff the chemicals.
The material and overall quality is OK for the price, but the smell really defeats the product as something you want to keep close to your body.
Customer Review: Good for one year, then beware!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this water bottle about a year ago, and I liked it well enough. Then the other night it got a small hole near the bottom tab and leaked all over the place. My advice: splurge for the German-made hottie, which is what I'm doing now.
