4.0 out of 5 stars tough and functional, December 1, 2009

My old Igloo 6 gallon water jugs were wonderful, but the spout/caps eventually wear out and leak real bad. Since Igloo won't carry parts for that jug, I bought a couple of these. My review is mostly positive.

Good - shape is better than the Igloo, shorter and fatter, still fits in my camper storage area, but easier to handle. Spout seems to be tougher than the Igloo, time will tell.

Bad - air vents through the spout with a cute little air tube that kinda stays outta the way of the water leaving. Not as good as a separate air vent like most water and gas cans have. Water flow is not as good as the Igloo, because of this.

2.0 out of 5 stars A little flimsy, and not exactly as described, September 12, 2007

This product is described as featuring a "Transparent color (that) allows view of water level." Unfortunately, that is not true. Mine came molded in an opaque blue plastic, and you cannot see the water level.

Also, the spout is made from a thin plastic that feels brittle, and both it and the container have poorly molded threads that make it easy to cross-thread the spout when attaching it. Furthermore, the container cannot be sealed without the spout in place and exposed as shown in the product photo. This all combines to make the spout a vulnerable weak point that could be relatively easily snapped off, rendering the container useless.

I will keep mine since I don't intend to use it regularly and I think the spout will survive my limited use, but my next purchase will be a genuine army-issue water can. They are much more durable.

I have used this can for many years... off and on... camping... and backup for my well...
6.5 gallons is a good size to carry... starts getting heavy. but not bad.. with all that water... the quick cap is nice .. very good investment for the price..
