The Lixit Wide-Mouth Small Animal Water Bottle is plagued by leaks and design issues, making it a poor choice despite its large capacity and ease of cleaning. Many users report constant dripping, leading to waste and frustration. The seal between the ball and tube is a common point of failure, and the design change to smaller spouts has exacerbated the problem. Alternatively, users who are happy with it say the good amount of water and it's easy to clean.
