Coleman1-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.

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.

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. :)

This seems to work just fine. It holds water.

I have had Coleman water Jugs since I was a kid. We took them with us everywhere soccer, baseball, football, camping and they still work to this day. I even carted one around in the back of an old pickup that I used when I worked for a fencing company and it got its fair share of abuse, but held up just fine. Now that I have been out of my parents house for years and gotten married when my wife and I started playing on an adult soccer league we needed something that could carry enough cool water for both of us on a hot day so I turned to the trusty Coleman jug. This one gallon jug has lived up to our expectations. I really like the smooth action the spout spout has when opening and how durable it is. Previously to getting this jug I had a different make/model 1/2 gallon jug and it had a snapping lid that took some effort to open and the lid was not nearly as durable as the Coleman spout.

I have been using this jug for a couple of weeks now and it meets my expectations. I had a minor leak here or there the first few days, but I found that this occurs only when the seal is wet when the top is screwed on. I just make sure it's dry when I screw on the lid and there are no leaks. You can't beat the price to have iced water (or whatever drink you prefer) readily available at all times. Quit wasting your money on bottled water! Plus, I found that if you fill it with a bunch of ice and water, it takes longer than 24 hours for the ice to melt completely. I will admit that I probably look like and idiot hoisting this thing up in the air for a refreshing swig, but oh well. I probably look like an idiot with or without this thing.

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.
