I bought these 2 years ago and finally decided to rate them. First I'll give the good points; They stack really nice, carry well, and look good. The handles are comfortable to hold while carrying and the weight when filled is not bad. Now the reason for only two star rating: The handles unhook quite easily and are a pain to put back into place. It is not easy to tighten and loosen the lids because the handle connectors are so close to the lid. You can't get all the water out; even though the recessed lid makes it nice for uniform clean stacking, it makes it IMPOSSIBLE to remove all the water, or anything else, without shaking the thing over and over. And finally THE WORSE I found is; We decided to fill 4 of them with water and store for a year in a pretty dark, climate controlled area. The water used was county water, so it had all the preservative stuff they normally put in there. Well after one year we pulled the bricks out and found in each of the four bricks a thick slime growing on the lid gasket. Even to a point that it was a black slime. I saw it no where else in the brick, just that rubber gasket. Needless to say, we did not feel it was safe to use that water. Water should be able to be stored for a year safely, but not in these containers. I believe it is a problem with the gaskets, and not the plastic of the bricks.

The down sides are true you have to shake it a little if you want to get all the water out but you really don't lose much so not a big deal since it is required for this design. The handles come off and on pretty easy just opposite hooks into a loop on the bricks. You will want to take the handle off when taking the lid off and on as due to the recessed lid you want the room. The stack nice and are easier to move around than bigger container. No trouble with leaks. They have a flat gasket so you want it snug but there is not much water pressure to hold back so you don't have to super tighten it. Sam's club had a good price includes the valved lid for dispensing. One big advantage of the giant lid is when changing out water or cleaning the containers you can dump it all out in a second or two.

Easy to fill, easy to stack

The water bricks are sturdy and strong. I never received the received the lid with the water spout.

Everything was good until I opened a few months after filling with waterand the rubber ring to prevent leaking was slimy! Other than that they are perfect.

Perfect for storm and emergency preparedness.

Great water storage system

Handy and well made.

I thought it would hold 320 gallons. It holds ONLY 32.5 gallons. VERY, VERY PRICEY for this!! Wish I had NOT gotten!

Great product
