PHILIPS Water GoZero UV Self-Cleaning Smart Water Bottle

Cleaning your water bottle is a pain and chore, but there’s nothing grosser than a smelly contraption to drink from. Luckily, there are a couple of water bottles on the market that can clean themselves. That’s right, these water bottles disinfect themselves to remove any nasty smells and bacteria while you use them.

Our own shopping experts found a handful of top-rated, self-cleaning water bottles that may be right for you. While these water bottles are more of a splurge, we think a clean and safe drink of water is worth it.

(Note: While the water bottles below can deactivate germs, they cannot remove forever chemicals and heavy metals like lead. For a more complete water filtration solution, check out the LifeStraw Go Series water bottle with built-in filtration.)

This water bottle can eliminate 99% of bio-contaminants such as E. coli from your water and bottle. Just press its cap and shake the bottle to clean. It works using UV-C light to deactivate bacteria, so there are no filters to replace. The disinfecting light works at a touch of a button, or once every 2 hours. It’s rechargeable and will stay clean for up to 30 days.

This bottle is available in insulated (keeps water cold for up to 24 hours or hot for 12 hours) and non-insulated versions, plus two sizes. The non-insulated bottle is noticeably lighter.

Choose from five colors. You can personalize it with up to 10 characters.

The Larq Bottle PureVis has a one-year warranty and is rated 4.6 stars. It’s priced at $99.

The bottle comes with a two-year warranty.

Amazon reviewers recommend this reusable water bottle for travel. “I mostly fill this bottle at airports and feel much safer drinking it after it’s been through UV sterilization,” says one reviewer. “It also saves me from buying and disposing of $3-4 plastic water bottles each time I fly.”

Find this bottle in six colors. Prices vary by color on Amazon. The color shown is $50, reduced from $75.
