Heritage Hill Glass Drink Dispenser, 2 Gallon

05/04/22 Was finally contacted by customer support. I told them the condition of second unit and they apologized for condition. They said the only thing they could do is try one more time. I received the 2 gallon dispenser today and in direct sunlight could not find any obvious flaws. My mom said it looks so much clearer than any other and she is 90. It is a beautiful glass work. Worthy of: "MADE IN USA". 04/15/22 I wrote review after a few days of use. Found defects in glass and contacted Oneida & Anchor Hocking. From Sept 2021 to Jan 14 or so tried to get a response and was eMailed they would send a replacement Jan 16, 2022, but I would have to wait 8 to 10 weeks. Never did receive anything after 80 or so days. Started eMails again. No response. Couple weeks latter an Anchor Hocking package was outside. No notice, tracking, nothing. Opened package and replacement had really bad defects, much worse than first. eMailed photos and have never received a response. The original has never leaked in 6 months. My main concern are flaws like this in glass will usually break. Water after all is about 8.33lbs per gallon, or around 20.825lbs with 2.5 gallons it holds. Original review follows Needed water dispenser to replace good but dated 45+ year old ceramic water dispenser. Mom seen the Anchor Hocking Heritage Hill Dispenser and that was it. Spout is inches from the countertop and requires stand, unless you set on edge which usually ends in knock off accident. Paired with X-cosrack Wood Plant Stand, and X-Chef stainless steel spigot, replacement for plastic spout. __________________________________ Anchor Hocking Heritage Hill Dispenser Item model number 93339L14 $29.99 8.84lbs 8.75 x 8.75 x 13.5 inches X-cosrack Wood Plant Stand $15.99 Stand Exactly As Advertised. Wanted sleek but minimalistic looking stand for water container. Easy to install, with included Allen wrench, not Phillips head, thank goodness. Phillips would never sink screw into bamboo wood without stripping head. Lite weight, but very strong, rated at 175lb capacity, and with an 8.84lb dispenser and ~2.5 gallon capacity at 8.34lbs per gallon x 2.5 = 20.85 + 8.84 = 29.69 lbs of glass and water. Visit the X-Chef Store $16.99 X-Chef 2 PCS Stainless Steel Replacement Spigot for Glass Jar & Drink Dispenser. I believe the X-Chef quality is second to none, of the $15 to $20 spigots, and that is 2 for less than average price of one. Installed 2nd on ancient Ceramic dispenser, looks really good and old plastic spigot is gone from it as well. Total $62.97, but remember that is 2 spigots. Tried to write this to help a novice or person looking for good quality products at a descent price, that to me, look really good together. Check out photos.

**UPDATE: 1 month into it and the spigot leaks a lot, mainly at the base. I've decided to get stainless steel after all - just need to carefully pick a good one and inspect it before installation (they tend to have metal debris and stains even before first use)** It's exactly what I wanted size wise, glass lid instead of metal lid (which tend to rust), wide mouth so it's easy to pour water into it daily as we distill water at home, acrylic spigot instead of stainless steel (which, again sometimes rust). Not one flaw in the glass so it looks perfect on the counter. It came well packaged with the spigot already installed. I only needed to tighten it and done! Pours fast too. Highly recommend.

The rubber cap does not fit the top insertion part at all. When you put it into the top of the jars, the cap leaves a 2mm open gap. Then when pouring your liquid out it makes a mess onto your countertop. Also when you put your frozen juice into it and add the water and turn the lid to not allow any pouring out of liquid and want to shake the liquid inside to mix it up well, because the lid does not fit tightly the liquid spills out and makes a mess. Only buy these if you are going to manually mix the liquid in them and then take the useless cap off to pour some out. My mother had ones that looked exactly like these and once the rubber seal was put into the position to block the fluid from coming out. We could shake the liquid up and nothing came out of the top and nothing made a mess. I do not recommend these at all!

I ordered these for tea. I needed something durable that could handle hot and cold temperatures. These are perfect! I steep tea inside the jars and I keep them in the refrigerator while in use. They hold a little over 2 quarts. The lid is quality and holds a tight seal. When I steeped tea, no steam came out when the lid was fully inserted. They pour well and the glass is grippy, not slippy, so I don't feel like I am going to drop it. It is easy to clean (if you have small hands). If you have large hands you will have to get creative. I believe it is dishwasher safe but I do not have one so I couldn't test it. I did not want a glass jar with a handle as I've had them break on me in the past and completely ruin the jar. The gripping portion of this jar is perfect! It does not spill when pouring. I highly recommend this product!

The top for the pitcher just sets on the pitcher, rather than screwing in as I had expected. Other than that, the pitchers fit in my refrigerator, are easy to fill and lift when full, and meet my needs.

These were not the first water pictures I purchased for my refrigerator, (the previous ones shattered all over the place) as I will say, the poor rating made me second-guess this brand that I normally trust. These are 64 ounce glass pitchers, they feel heavy duty and sturdy to me. The glass feels thick enough. I’ve had them for six weeks now and they get a lot of action here, we are big water drinkers in this house, and they are constantly getting pulled in and out of the refrigerator and we have had zero issues. I prefer to take the white lid off when I pour, I saw other people complain about dribbling, but I have found for me, if I take the white part off, there’s no problem. I rather like that They don’t have a handle because one of the other others I purchased previously did have handles and that did not end well because everything is made so cheap these days. The grip indentation serves its purpose perfectly and I don’t miss having a handle.I wish I had just gone with these anchor hocking ones in the first place and saved myself some trouble and loads of cleanup from busted water pictures all over my kitchen. I will likely purchase two more soon as I would like to have a 2 gallon total cold water reserve in my refrigerator.

Our first pair of pitchers arrived with one broken; however, this was promptly replaced with another set, so no problem. The pitchers are heavier than I expected, but that’s on me for not checking thoroughly. But the lids do not fit well, they are too small and slip right out. Also, they don’t pour very well, with or without lids. With lid in the proper position, the liquid dribbles out; without the lid it splashes everywhere. I bought Anchor Hocking hoping for a quality product, but am disappointed.

Great quality

Great for brewing Kombucha. Most of the complaints seem to be about leaking faucet, it needs to be well tightened before use. No leak issues once that is done.

Absolutely love it

Lastima que el grifo no sea de mejor calidad y que esté situado más al fondo del producto

美容用のお水を作る為に購入しました。ガラスには模様もなくツルツルでキレイです。蓋もガラスですがパッキンが無いのでズレやすいと思いますが重さがあるので普通に置いておくには問題なしです。良いお買い物ができたと思っています。

El grifo es de plástico, de muy mala calidad y viene mal sellado, el agua chorrea. El producto no funcional. No lo compren
