What Redditors Say

Best praise vs top criticism for Sawyer Squeeze

Best Praise

+114 pts

“My Squeeze has been going great since 2018. I had a few moments of slow flow some years ago but I've resolved that... Anyway, how are you back flushing it? Are you prefiltering the water with something like a folded bandana? If you've had the same problem with multiple filters, it's not likely to be a defective product so you're asking the right question.”

Top Criticism

+22 pts

“Had this happen when with a filter I believed to be fully dried (air dried for 2 weeks) at the end of a summer season. Made me dubious it's even possible to for a squeeze to be fully dry inside after it's been used.”
