3 Gallon Drink Dispenser for Fridge - Plastic Beverage Dispenser with Spigot for Easy Dispensing - BPA Free Plastic - Convenient Handle, Easy-Pour Spout

We are so pleased with this. We go through a little more than 2 gallons of water a day (this is a 2.5 gallon container). Before, we were filling up 2 large pitchers with water (filtered from our Culligan faucet filter) and putting them in the refrigerator because we like nice cold water. This slimline container makes refilling the water much easier for me. For one, I only fill it up once a day (before I go to bed). When I refill it, I do not take the slimline container out of the refrigerator. I use my old water pitcher, fill the water up at my faucet and then pour the water into the slimline container (which again, stays inside the refrigerator). I think that will help keep down the wear and tear on the slimline container by not moving it too much. We did have to initially adjust the spout because it leaked at first. I think most people having a problem with leaks need to tighten the spout better and make sure the collar ring and the spout piece align. Also, every morning, I unscrew the top cover all the way. Just enough so that a little air can get in to make the water flow stronger. The only other thing I would mention is that you need to make sure that it isn't hanging over your shelf too far out because it can cause your refrigerator to not shut all the way. We hang it just far enough to get a rim underneath and I think I even had to adjust the shelf height at first because it was hitting something on our door. Lastly, I love this slimline container because we drink a lot of water, my younger children can easily get water for themselves and I was tired of laboring over my kitchen faucet, filling our old water pitchers ALL DAY LONG. So now I can just sit around and sip nice cold water and watch the clouds roll by.

This product empty is very lightweight, holds 2.5 gallons of water. Each gallon of water weighs 8 pounds, so once full, this container weighs about 20 pounds. A significant amount of water to support in such a light weight container so not surprising that eventually the seams will give out. We have a water ionizer and use these containers to house ionized drinking water in our refrigerator. The manufacturer is very nice and has sent free replacement water nozzles when they have on occasion leaked and also gave us the ability to order extra nozzles at a reasonable cost to have on hand. Our only complaint is we wish there was someway to make these containers a little sturdier so that they would last longer than they do. The good news is that when they do leak while they create a small puddle in our refrigerator they have never leaked to the extent that water permeated everything so the mess was contained. Still these are the best available until someone comes up with a better design. We have been using these containers year round for the past 10 years so for the most part they work fairly well. Amazon was very accommodating when we once experienced a breach in the seam less than 6 months later and replaced them for free. Thank you Amazon for the excellent customer service.

Good overall. Adequately designed and works appropriately for what it is. Definitely has suction issues during pouring (air must replace the displacement left by the exiting beverage from the spout). Toward the end of pouring a 16oz liquid the flow decreases to literally an annoying trickle. YES this can be fixed by unscrewing the top lid, however in my experience I have to screw it almost completely off. Fix: create a 1 mm (approximately 1/16 inch) hole in the front-top of the container. A small drill bit can be used. I used a wood screw because I was too lazy to go into the garage. Why front-top? Because this allows you to fill the container maximally AND to carry vertically by the handle without leaking. Refer to the picture. Why 1 millimeter hole? To keep potential leaking to a minimum. Importantly, I experimented and filled a 1 quart container while holding the spout in the maximum flow position. There was NO decrease in flow during the entire pour. No trickle. My control was repeating the same with the lid completely off. The flow rate was exactly the same... Hence a hole this small is affective. I personally had no issues with leaking but I took off the spout and applied Teflon tape as others had. Why not ... it's easy and took me 1 minute. Yes. The dimensions are just about perfect for my standard fridge. I would definitely measure first before buying. There is no question this maximizes space very efficiently based on the "book-like" shape. Added bonus: the dimensional surface-area to volume ratio is high, therefore your beverage cools faster in your fridge than a standard cylinder shape container (ie a pitcher). Build: seems fine to me. I know others have issues. It is a brittle type of plastic as opposed to a Tupperware type plastic. Hope this helps!

...it arrived with no spigot. I've had several of these (Coleman and Arrow models), use it in place of a water tank/faucet in my RV, refill it often from a hose or whatever water source. I've used these for years, after awhile algae will start to form, I wash with peroxide when that occurs. After a couple of years of use, my last [Arrow] one cracked so I ordered this one. This is the first of this particular Arrow model I've had, and I can't believe how much easier it is to carry with TWO handles (one at the front and one on the top), makes a BIG difference. [Please see update at the end.] When I bought this it was listed as sold by NY Discounts. I was disgusted to be missing the spigot, but I still had the spigot from my old one, so I used that. I didn't want to go to the bother of returning it. Anyway, I emailed NY Discounts to let them know I'd received the dispenser sans spigot, perhaps Arrow shipped it without the spigot, who knows. I thought the company might want to know about it and take steps to make sure it wasn't repeated, AND, I hoped they'd send me a spigot. Anyway, no reply, annoying. I guess I should have handled it through Amazon, who've always been helpful. Note: What I should've done was leave the seller negative feedback under the "Leave Seller Feedback" link provided from the Order Summary page, duh. NOW, the item is shown as sold by Etailz and fulfilled by Amazon, but I thought I'd tell you of my experience, for what it's worth. Best water dispenser I've found! UPDATE: The dispenser cracked after about six months of use. I banged it against the counter accidentally- wanted to let you know that the plastic is brittle, not malleable, and will crack if banged against something. When the new one came, it came with the dispenser, yay, but inexplicably only a faint trickle of water came out of it. I thought it was faulty, but discovered that somehow or other the paper lining inside the large cap at the top of the dispenser was creating suction that prevented water from flowing out the spigot. I removed it, and now it works perfectly. What a great dispenser!

It does great and held up for a few years before cracking so i felt like it was a good value. Its fatal flaw is the design, its incredibly hard to clean.

Nice size Easy to handle

Nice jug to put in a frig at camp it seals great we lay it on the side for better storage

Leaks around removable spout. Not able to stop very slow drip even with tightening. Otherwise as I wanted. I used silicone sealant all around the spout hole and spout. Leak stopped but can no longer remove spout. Convenient filling, carrying, size for my need. Of course you would need to loosen top to expect water to flow- basic physics. Light weight which is good but will need careful handling or will crack. I am happy.
