A clarification on time needed to cancel the trial period. Tried to cancel on the 14th day and payment was already taken out. Contacted the company on the same say and they were unable to refund or cancel on their end - nothing could be done. This company is too set in their policies and does not have the time or care to deal with small issues like canceling or refunding. Pro: I rather enjoyed their product and did see a use for it in my children's lives - alas, if they could not help me with canceling one shipment, I don't think I will use them again. Con: Customer care is lacking - it's not about keeping the customer happy, but the bottom dollar. Issues with the trial bottle had me a little worried (how long each lasted)...the bottle itself is not durable, maybe it wasn't meant to be used by children? A reminder of what companies are just out of the sale and not enough emphasis on customer care.

This product is so much better than what the negative reviews state, otherwise I would not waste my money on the product. First of all...$5.00 trial, which comes with a 22 oz bottle with two cartridges. Both cartridges lasted me approximately 2 weeks. So I went into my Cirkul account and decided to peruse flavors to set up my next shipment, rather than hit the Cancel button and cancel the service (yes, canceling is easy and it does tell you straight up that you will be sent 8 more cartridges in a month for $27.00). My only question was: will it be worth it? Come to find out, I think it is. I drink a lot more water - about 5 or more of the 22 oz bottles per day. Heck of a lot more than I drank previously. The cartridges still last me about 3 or 4 days and I keep it on the middle setting of 5 (you can select your flavor strength from 0 (straight water) to 9 (pucker up because it will be strong). Some I set at 4. So at my calculations (which may be wrong) I get MINIMALLY 5 of the 22 oz of flavored water for 3 days, which is 15 bottles of flavored water equivalency in 3 days, which is for ONE CARTRIDGE. 8 cartridges (their lowest plan) is $27.00 (including shipping), which is $3.38 per cartridge. So for each cartridge, I am paying less than $0.23 to have flavored water. They have a TON of flavors, including coffees and teas. Some will have caffeine, some will not. This beats Crystal Light or MiO, in my opinion. Plus so many more flavors AND I'm drinking more water and rarely any soda. I'm new to this (about a month in), so I am unsure of all the flavors, but I have made sure to increase my auto -ship so I can get more flavors and have gotten onto some Facebook groups to purchase individual cartridges. I was nervous getting Cirkul because several of the flavors are sweetened by Sucralose and I have an issue with many sweeteners. However, I have not had an issue, which is why I kept my subscription. You can change your shipment date if you want it earlier or if it the auto-ship doesn't work with your budget and you need it to ship later. Just be sure to go in a few days early than shipment date. They also give you a discount if you ship earlier than your auto-ship date. Right now, I am sipping on a caramel iced coffee. I'm a picky coffee snob, and I actually like this! I've read that people have put in almond milk and it's even better. One day, I may be bold enough to try that, but for now, it tastes good just sticking with water. This afternoon, I plan to switch to my cherry limeade cartridge. It's pretty easy to switch out cartridges and flavors. I confess that I have had 4 different flavor cartridges in the refrigerator at once, switching around. The sweet peach tea literally tastes like a fresh peach. It's really good! I've only come across one flavor so far that I'm not a fan of. I think the only downfall is that I would like at least a 32 oz insulated cup. However, these lids can be interchanged with cups seen at Wal-Mart or purchased on Amazon, which I plan to do to keep my water colder for longer. Cirkul's stainless bottle is only 22 oz and cost more than I would like to pay. The leaking lid issue is easily resolved by folding in one of the plastic pieces or just by making sure you sip out the extra in the top before setting your cup down. Oh! I can't forget their customer service. I emailed them and asked if I could get another plastic bottle to give to a friend and they are sending me TWO FREE BOTTLES! Isn't that nice?!? I think with the changes to my water intake and the fact that it's cheaper than buying coffee or soda or other drinks for me, that I will be a long time user of Cirkul. It helps that there are so many flavors, shipping is quick, customer service is great, and the product is innovative and easy to use. Keep it up, Cirkul, and keep up the great flavors!

Been using this for over 2 months. Love the flavors and the fact that you can adjust the strength. I do have a question. Sometimes when I'm drinking it makes a little high sucking sound, how can I fix this?

Hi I ordered the trial kit put in furit punch drank it a few times filled my bottle up once and it tastes like plastic I have it set to 9 at first it was at 5 and the first sip was great no more than a sip tho. Then I put it on 9 and the sip was longer lasting but now it's just plastic and plain water. Can someone help? I love the bottle and plan to keep trying but like most of u I need help . Thanks in advance! Patricia

Hot garbage. I signed up for the cheap trial thing (who would actually pay “full” price for these cheap things?) and immediately realized the flavors are disgusting. Are you health conscious? Do you like putting natural things in your body? Do you have taste buds? Then Cirkul isn’t for you. They legit taste so bad, even on the lowest flavor settings. Plus, changing it to “plain” water still gives you residual tastes of the cartridge, or maybe the aftertaste is just really bad and lingers. But if that wasn’t bad enough, their “discounted” samples are extremely predatory in nature. Buy now for $5, forget they automatically signed you up for renewals against your will, and get charged an obscene amount of money for more cartridges. This might be one of the worst companies on Earth. They manufacture all this worthless plastic, are probably poisoning everyone who drinks their cartridges (that stuff isn’t good for you- look into it), and actively treat their customers like money farms to be abused and exploited.

How about some honesty & customer service & standing behind your product? Not ripping people off on a regular basis would be nice.. Look at Better Business Bureau reviews people

Review Cirkul?

Reviewers like the idea more than the execution. Many say Cirkul helps them drink more water, with adjustable flavor and a few well-liked fruit flavors, especially for replacing soda. But the most common complaints are hard to ignore: cartridges often run out far faster than expected, flavors can taste artificial or inconsistent, and bottles may leak, make loud slurping noises, or be hard to drink from. Customer service, shipping, packaging, and autoship billing draw repeated criticism, leaving many users feeling the system is overpriced and unreliable.
