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

Great so far. No leaks, hold temperature for a long time, and the neoprene shell is a great addition for a handle and holder of small items along with a little additional insulation. The metal is thick enough to hold up to rugged use. The gallon size is great for hiking or being out and about while holding enough mass to stay cool or hot. As for value that's hard to beat for the price.

I needed a large container to carry soup to a party in, and to keep it warm during the 30 minute drive, and the expected 2-3 hour wait before serving it. This container has a nice wide mouth that made it easy to fill and serve from, and even having opened it several times over the course of the evening, by the time I got home 10 and a half hours later, the soup inside was still almost too hot to eat without letting it cool a little after putting it in a bowl. The wide mouth also made it easy to clean. The container is also very sturdy and well-made, with a robust handle to carry it by, and the dual lid (wide mouth for filling/cleaning, smaller for pouring) makes it very convenient. I wasn't sure how much I would need to spend for something that worked for my needs, as I'd never "shopped for a thermos" before, but I'm quite satisfied with what I got for the price I paid.

Being from Houston with 110 summer heat this insulated gallon water jug helps keep my water cool throughout the day. I definitely recommend this for people and who are out in the heat all day and want to keep the water cool. It is very durable and very sleek looking. Fits perfect in my passenger seat and doesn’t take up too much space on my desk. It is very durable and made out of stainless steel. Fairly easy to clean, and there is no odor.

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.

This metal jug is amazing. I bought it for my grandson, he started a construction job and its over 100 degrees here. He left it sitting for a while on the job site, opened it and the ice had not melted. Water was cold cold. I definitely recommend it.

I’ve been carrying the old style plastic water jugs to work for many years. My last one fell onto its top and split open prompting me to look into the metal ones everyone is now using. This one seemed like a good buy and I liked the cap style. It keeps water cold way longer. At the end of day my water is still cool even sitting in a hot truck. I don’t have any leaks as long as I make sure the gasket is on correctly. The gasket could use some improvement though. It tends to not stay on the lid properly. It fell off the first time I opened the lid and I don’t think it was on correctly from the factory. Other than that it’s been great. Won’t be going back to the old leaky plastic jugs. For the price compared to others I’d buy it again just know you have to always make sure that gasket is in place.

Awesome jug in general but especially for the price it’s amazing. Zero leaking and keeps ice for days. I even got the black and leave it in the sun sometimes and it will still stay cold. I’ve left ice water in my truck on a Friday and Monday morning ice is still there. I also probably drop the thing 10 times a day and it’s incredibly durable and quality made.

This has great handle and our that doesn't fall down when pouring and keeps the liquid hot all day .it has never leaked and very easy to clean Loved it !

Good quality bottle stays cold for ages
