I bought this 2.5-gallon beverage container to mix apple juice and water for my kids, and it’s been fantastic. The size is just right—not too big, not too small—and it fits perfectly in the fridge, so I always have a chilled, kid-friendly drink ready.The container is easy to fill, and the spout dispenses just the right amount without any drips or mess.

It’s also super convenient for refilling and cleaning.Pros:✔️ Ideal size for family drink needs✔️ Spout makes pouring simple and mess-free✔️ Clear design allows easy monitoring of contents✔️ Refrigerator-friendly design saves spaceCons:✘ Not insulated, so it won’t keep drinks cold for long outside the fridge (but not an issue for us since it stays in the fridge)Final Thoughts:This container has made hydration time so much easier and more enjoyable for my family. It's functional, convenient, and just works perfectly for mixing drinks for the kids.

This review is for the 3 gallon beverage dispenser. I purchased two of these dispenser jugs recently for use in dispensing room-temperature water in my kitchen and office.Since I knew in advance that I would be using the two dispensers only for storing and dispensing clean well water, I was not at all concerned about the fact that was mentioned by numerous other reviewers, to the effect that the two handles are hollow and fill with whatever beverage is placed in the dispenser, and cannot be cleaned. Since I will be storing only clean well water in these dispensers, I should never need to thoroughly clean those impossible-to-reach interior surfaces on the insides of the handles, that is, cleaning that might involve scrubbing or scraping.Once I had put my dispenser jugs into service, I noticed that both of them displayed small leaks around the screw-on cap that mounts the spigot on the threaded neck emerging from the lower front of the dispenser. On one of the two dispensers, I was able to totally cure the leak by tightening the screw cap extra hard with great force by hand. On the second leaky dispenser, no amount of hand tightening would completely stop the small leak around the screw cap, and so I grabbed a large pair of channel-lock pliers from my toolbox, set the jaws to a width most suitable for gripping the screw cap, and tightened the screw cap even further with much greater force than I could have applied by hand. Even though the cap tightened only another 1/8th of a turn or so, that extra degree of tightness was sufficient to totally seal the screw-on cap and to permanently cure the small leak.Other than that odd problem with the minor leak around the screw cap holding the dispenser valve/spigot -- a problem which numerous other reviewers have noted as well -- I found these two dispensers to be eminently satisfactory and useful for the application which I had intended.Overall, a very good product but for the minor manufacturing flaws/irregularities in the screw cap and the threaded neck on the dispenser that required me to use great force in tightening the screw caps for the spigots to prevent small leaks from around the cap seal.Yes, I would buy these dispensers again if I were to have a similar need for a dispensing jug.

I got tired of buying those 2.5 gallon jugs at the grocery store and started looking at a reusable type to save $$. I did multiple searches and came across this one that was not too tall so it would fit on my wire shelf on the counter and still fit under the upper cabinet. It works beautifully with a nice large opening to pour in more water. I get water jugs refilled up the street at a water dispenser as my home well water is not filtered and that has helped save even more. The clear container lets me see when I need to do a refill and it looks nice on the countertop. I do keep the lid loose so air can be exchanged as it drains. Overall, I"m very pleased with it. Now it takes just 50 cents to fill it up instead of buying those jugs at $2.50 or more - if they are even available.

This is a terrible product. The spigots leak - it's just a mess. At first they are okay, but over a period of weeks (just past the Amazon return date), each of the spigots began to leak. Since at first I thought they were great, I bought 6. Now 6 weeks after purchase, only two spigots are not leaking and I expect they will leak soon too. It looks like the spigots warp over time. It's like the plastic is not ridgid enough and has too much give in it. Very disappointed.
