I bought this on a whim and now I feel like a genius! I don't even bother to carry my Katadyn Hiker or my MSR MIOX any longer. This thing weighs nothing and it's easy to use. Take it out of its cover, press the button once to purify a liter of water, look for the flashing green light, insert until the blue light comes on, stir, stop when the blue light goes out (about 45 seconds or so). Drink with abandon! I don't use rechargeable batteries -I always have several sets of Surefire batteries for my flashlight and they work in this very well. I used it all summer (roughly thirty nights on the trail) with no battery change.
