Which is Better - Aluminum or Stainless Steel Water Bottle?

Many people are confused that whether they should consider aluminum or stainless steel water bottles. The comparison between aluminum and stainless steel water bottles can be done on design, weight, safety and price. Another difference between these two is based upon client's comments and feedback about large mouths, durability, ease of cleaning, toxins, condensation as well as insulation.

If you compare the weight of aluminum and stainless steel water bottles then stainless water bottle is solid, durable and heavier than aluminum. Whereas, aluminum is lighter and cools fast. You can select              on the basis of the fact that how much the bottle is going to get roughly handled.  

There are several types of stainless steel water bottles that are high-end bottles, using 18/8 material in their productions. This shows the other metals are present in the steel in order to make it an alloy, such as 18/8 means 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Chromium is a hard and durable metal, whereas nickel has anti corrosive features. Some low quality stainless steal water bottles may be made of 18/0 material, that's why they are subject to rusting.

If you compare both aluminum and stainless steel water bottles, in terms of safety. The primary thing you should find out about an aluminum water bottle is that it should be bisphenol-A (BPA) free and not include any chemical. The fact about aluminum that whether it is a health risk or not, is under consideration.

As compared to aluminum, stainless steel water bottles are more safer. Stainless water bottle is neutral, and doesn't require a lining just like the aluminum water bottles require. Aluminum water bottle is lined to protect the metal from leaching into the water. Stainless steel bottle doesn't not break the taste as aluminum bottles can if the lining inside is scratched or damaged.

An another comparison between both bottles can be made on the cost. Stainless steel water bottles are least costly as compared to aluminum bottles. Stainless steel bottles are less stylish than aluminum which are better looking. But if you talk about their ease of use, then stainless steel is preferable because these can be washed in a dishwasher with high water temperature to prevent from bacteria as well as viruses. Therefore, these are also referred as filtered water bottles.
