Coleman 1-Gallon Water Jug, Portable Water Cooler with Handle & Spigot, Great for Camping, Beach, Sports, Tailgating, Picnic & More

Wife wanted something basic to make Home Brewed Tea & then keep it cold & be able to take on a road trip & not to worry about spillage. She popped ICE into this cooler - popped the whole thing into the Fridge over night - made her tea - took the cooler out of the Fridge - emptied the old ice out which was kept in it over night with fresh ice - our Fridge makes ICE like crazy - thus - we're not ICE poor (LOL) ... & then poured in the Freshly Brewed Tea - works like a camp upto 6 odd hours ...

Simple to use and holds alot.

This seems to work just fine. It holds water.

First off, let me say that anything made by Coleman is going to be high quality and do what it claims it will do. This jug is no exception. I only had two issues with it: 1.) It leaked every time I drank out of it. Not a major leak, but just enough to be irritating. 2.) It is HEAVY when filled. I consider myself a mostly strong person, but I found it difficult to left the jug when it was full. I am a woman, so a man might have an easier time transporting this. I also have back and neck issues, which make it difficult to lift while in a seated position. So, to imagine a heavy jug that is difficult to lift, and then having it leak on you, I assure you, something had to give. I moved on to a half gallon size Coleman jug, and it's perfect! This gallon jug would be better for a 2 or 3-person outing. I never drank the entire thing, even when working in extreme heat. It can accommodate two or more trays of ice (I only have 2, so that's the max I can use). I found that, when using one tray of ice, my water was no longer cold after about 4 hours. It is best to use this with 2-3 trays of ice cubes. :)

as advertised

cheap does the job, don't let it fall over because it leaks. will keep water cold all day with enough ice. I recommend spending a bit more and getting a stainless steel water jug if you plan on using this every day. less ice needed in a smaller footprint. Affordable.

My son love it, use it in Marching band

I specifically purchased this item online, at a higher price, because I wanted this royal blue color. This color is no longer sold in stores and is an old color that has been replaced by a more blue green color. My son is part of a drum corp and he specifically requested this bottle in the royal blue color so they can have a uniform look during practices, lot warm ups, and going to and from performances. This color does not match and if I wanted the color I got, I could have just gotten it in store at a lower price.Bottle itself is fine, standard Coleman quality jug. Not leak proof but does a pretty good job.
