Defective caps, can't find replacements

Bought a pair as part of my earthquake emergency kit. Filled them once and they just sat in a closet. Two years later the caps are cracked. As others have mentioned, replacements aren't available. Disappointing.

Missing vent plug.

Tanks are perfect for storing emergency water. Missing vent plug on one of 2 tanks.

Quality Brand

Igloo is a well known brand with a reputation for quality. These water jugs live up to that reputation. They are tall and slender which makes them easy to carry %26 pour, no matter how water is in them.

These are tall and skinny and the two handles are a game changer because 6 gallons is heavy! Super heavy duty material. Hard to fill at the water stations. I ended up putting it on the ground and filling it with a one gallon jug - you guessed it- one gallon at a time lol

Smells and tastes horrible!

I am not sure why no one has mentioned this, but I rinsed this out good, filled at our well pump, put it through a Brita pitcher with filter, and it tasted and smelled horribly like heavy oily plastic! My dogs would NOT even drink it! I've filled, soaked, sat, several times for over a week now, and finally, it's starting to lose the smell, but after the first mouth full that left a terrible taste in my mouth for hours, I'm a little hesitant to drink from it again. If for drinking water, it shouldn't have been like this. Good for anything but drinking water.

Don't waste your money!

DO NOT buy this thing! It leaks ,it leaks out of the lid, it leaks out of the air vent. You can't lay it on it's side unless you want water everywhere. I buy Coleman and Reliance jugs all the time and have never had a problem. It even leaked when tipped forward with the lid on,and I had it on very, very tight. Igloo is usually a good brand but not this particular item.

Nice Value

I think the handles are what differentiate this water jug from the others. The handles are great on this igloo. But the tradeoff is capacity vs overall size. This jug is a bit bulky for 6 gallons. I read all the complaints about the cap cracking. It seems to me, it is a bit too easy to cross-thread the cap. Glad I read the reviews early. If I'm patient when threading the cap, should last forever.

Reliable and affordable for quick camping trip

Worked really well for a short car camping trip that I had over a weekend. I did not experience any leaks. The shape makes it easy for water storage, and the handle and spout make it easy to pour. It may be more difficult to dispense at full capacity unless you retrofit a spigot. Overall, very sturdy and generous size/capacity.

Gas can

I know you're not supposed to…but I do store gas in it without a problem. I'll update if the gas eats through the plastic.
