Kerilyn Insulated Gallon Jug with Handle, One Gallon, 128 Ounces, Stainless Steel, Large Double Vacuum Water Bottle for Hot & Cold Drinks, Wide Mouth, Sweat Proof, Great for Travel, Camping

I like it... for reference I've had to for about a month. Obviously I didn't measure it but the wall of the thermose is probably about half an inch thick, so I imagine it holds temp well (I drink room temp stuff on purpose, so idk) It hasn't leaked, the lid quality is top notch among thermoses I've used, and overall its quite hardy. I work in a rougher environment and it hasn't even dented yet, and since its stainless steel it doesn't noticably scratch either. The grip is pretty great considering how big it is. its capacity is as expected, it stores enough water to last you the whole day. Lastly it certainly can house hot fluids, but keep in mind, its a BIG thermose, its going to be HARDER TO CLEAN. Being hard to clean is more of something to be expected but just keep that in mind when this is in consideration, but if you have the patience to clean this, then its probably the best thermose you are going to find if you are avoiding microplastics.

I try to drink a lot of water throughout the day. I usually carry an uninsulated 64 oz. Kleen Kanteen with me to work every day and have no trouble emptying it. This wasn't enough, however, and I would get thirsty by the end of the day. I decided that I needed to drink a full gallon every day to ward off thirst and to account what I lose during exercise, etc. This jug was my solution. I waited until Prime Days and then searched for a gallon water jug. I tried to strike a balance between low price and good reviews. This jug was the most economical option that had consistently high reviews, and a lot of them mentioned how durable it was. OK, I'm sold. A lot of reviews mentioned the size. Yep, it's huge, and full of water it weighs about 12 lbs. according to another reviewer that actually weighed it. It takes both hands to drink out of this thing. For me, the size is the only thing that I'm on the fence about. I'm still trying to decide if carrying a full gallon is a better option than refilling my 2-quart Kleen Kanteen at work. It's certainly no fault of the jug-- a gallon-sized container is going to be bigger than a 2-quart container no matter what-- but it is a consideration if you have to lug this thing around. I certainly feel the weight and, while it's not a deal breaker for me, it's certainly something to consider. I'm trying to avoid abusing it, so far durability seems good. I toss it into my large rucksack with a Stanley steel lunchbox, and so far the powdercoated finish has zero scratches on it. I was leery of the handle being screwed into the plastic cap, but the whole thing feels very sturdy. I don't swing it like a kettlebell or anything, but the plastic cap seems to have no trouble standing up to the weight of this thing, which was my main concern. The cap seals tight. The jug is so large that I have to lay it sideways in my rucksack. Not a drop has leaked so far despite being jostled on its side while I ride my motorcycle, walk up and down stairs, etc. I haven't tried it with warm liquids, but it keeps water cool all day. I fill it with tap water in the morning and it stays about the same temperature. When summer comes, I'll fill it with ice water and see, but from other reviews I expect that the insulation will work just fine. One other thing: I fill mine in the sink because it doesn't fit in my refrigerator's water dispenser. That means I fill it with regular tap water instead of my fridge's cold, filtered water. The tap water in my area is pretty good (water quality reports from the local water company shows almost no detectable contaminants and the taste is fine) so I don't mind. However, if you want to fill yours with filtered water, you're either going to be standing at your fridge forever waiting for this thing to fill up, or you're going to want to invest in an auxiliary filter for your sink. I paid less than $35 for this jug when I bought it, and at that price the value is excellent. As of January 2025, it's hovering around the $40 mark, which is still a good price for a gallon jug of this quality. So far I'm very happy with mine. If there's anything to report in the future, I'll update this review.

It kept water hot for 2 days! 176° to start. 24 hours later the water was 124°. 48 hours later the temperature was 96° Temperature in our house was about 70°., I completely filled up the container, set an alarm kitchen counter. Obviously if it was in 40° temperatures, it would not keep the water as hot as it did at 70°. Nonetheless, this thing works amazingly well! I also conducted the same tesr by filling it 2/3 of the way up with ice. Four days later, there was still some ice floating in the water. My purpose for buying this was to maintain slightly hot water for a living in a cabin for a week that only had a wood-burning stove for heat. I had an improvised kitchen set up and really wanted to have low tech warmed hot water stored to use any time without having to heat it up on my propane stove. Before going to bed at night I would fill it up with fairly hot water and in the morning I had warm water, brush my teeth and wash up, etc. without having to heat it up. I used one of those 5 gallon water jug electric pumps that I mounted on an improvised countertop with a small round sink set into it. The set up worked like a charm!. I am an avid outdoors person, but I like to have as many creature comforts as possible. In the summer I can see using this as a way to store ice water. This thing is unbelievably well constructed. Extremely high-quality. It has a stainless steel vacuum bottle. I haven’t seen anything with vacuum bottles since the old fashion ones with the glass vacuum bottles that if you dropped it on the floor of the bottle with shatter. I could see possibly buying one or two more of these for all of my outdoor excursions. I often camp at primitive campsites that have no running water. Even in the summer I could see storing warm water in there for “showering“

I cannot rave enough about these bottles. I bought 4 of these. I needed to transport soup about 25 miles to my destination, a soup-making contest. I needed something that would keep the food hot and safe from spilling in my car. After searching for a reasonably priced solution on Amazon, I came across these. They worked out perfectly. The soup arrived as hot as it was when it was just off the stove. The soup poured safely, and when it was over, the bottles were all cleaned up perfectly with minimal effort. I am sure that you will thoroughly enjoy using these bottles for both hot and cold needs.

Amazing water bottle, a must have in the jobsite heat. Quick tip: Put ice in it the night before and throw it in the fridge, in the morning put more ice in it then add your drink, garanteed to last you your entire shift.

Great gallon jug that is well made and very sturdy should be able to use for many years to come. The insulation has worked well and maintains the desired beverage temperature. I love the wide mouth opening, which is a plus to make it easy to clean.

This jug is exactly what I've always needed! It holds a full US gallon of water plus ice, so I have access to ice-cold water all day at work, even when weather conditions make everything else around me scorching hot. Whenever I refill my travel cup from this jug, my water is freezing cold and as wonderfully refreshing as if I just got it out of the refrigerator. The jug itself is a little heavy compared to a regular cup, but it's high-quality stainless steel, so that's expected. It's very well constructed and can take a beating without losing functionality. I've read a few reviews that say it leaks, but that's not the case at all! Both the fill lid and pour cap screw on tightly. The only way this jug could leak is if you failed to close it properly. Since the jug is so big and heavy (it's metal and holds a GALLON), it's a bit awkward for me to carry for any extended distance. I purchased the carry bag separately (on Amazon), and that frees up my hands for other things when I haul my work stuff out to my truck. I don't think it would be practical for me to carry on a hike or other extended excursion though, unless I put it into a backpack or something that would balance the weight evenly. I'm not used to carrying that much weight in one hand or over one shoulder. Overall, I think this jug is an excellent value. It performs exactly as advertised and makes my life easier.

It is exactly what I hoped it would be. Boxed and shipped well, works perfectly. It was also CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. I washed it out anyway with Dawn, then rinsed it probably 6 times, because that's what I do. When done with all that OCD work, it looked exactly like it did before I washed it. There had not been a hint of grime, dirt, oil residue, soap residue, drying spots, nothing. Why did I pick black, when I love bare stainless steel? Because of so many reviews where people who bought the bare one, burned themselves picking it up after it sat in the sun. Yes, black will get hot in the sun also, but I think it is safer for two reasons. First, you expect something black in the sun to be really hot. Second, paint does not conduct heat as well as metal, so even at the same temp, the paint is slightly insulating, to keep the heat in the metal from conducting into your skin as fast as possible. I was a trombonist in marching band, and know how hot metal can just continue to pump heat into you for several seconds when you touch it, or cold metal can even freeze to your lips if you're not careful. The black happens to look really good, also. And last but not least, when I'm car camping, almost all of my gear is black, so that it's harder to see what's in my car. Usually I cover it with black cloth additionally, but of course there are times when my stuff is left uncovered for ease of getting at it. Update after using it for about 3 months: Still loving it. I filled it with great tap/well water at home, which contains a fair amount of minerals. I know this, because when distilling a gallon of water, it leaves the minerals deposited on the stainless distiller, which then has to be scrubbed with vinegar every gallon we make. But in this jug, I filled it and took it to my warehouse, mainly to use for occasionally cooking macaroni with in the microwave there. After 2 months of that, it was under 1/4 full, so I brought it home to refill with the well water. I wasn't sure whether to expect mineral rings at each level it had sat at over the months. I wasn't sure whether the rust spots shown in someone's review would have appeared in it. The answer was none of the above. I poured out the water, and it looked brand new. I rinsed it a couple of times and refilled it, now knowing not to worry about letting it sit for weeks or months with water in it. Maybe your mileage might vary if your water has a very acidic or caustic pH, or different minerals. But for me, I'm going to continue using the well water in it, no need to instead switch to using distilled or reverse osmosis water to keep it clean and spotless under conditions of very intermittent use after filling it. Update after 6 months. I've been using up the gallon and refilling it once or twice a week now. Still no problems. I think I'm going to experiment with cooking a batch of food in my instant pot, putting it in this, and having a hot meal the next day. If I like the result, I'll get a second one for that. Maybe a third one to put a ziploc of ice in, and a ziploc of leftovers, and see how long it stays cold, for shorter missions in the car than actual car camping, which I bring a 50 liter 12V fridge/freezer in the car for.
