Review on 🔋 Arrow 00744 Slimline 2.5 Gallon Container by Trevor Bannister

Good water holder. It actually holds just over 3 gallons so it doesn't overflow in the machine I fill them in. The second carrying handle is convenient when moving. I also have a 3 gallon Blue Wave fridge so I can do a direct comparison. 1) The Blue Wave bottle is noticeably smaller, and the addition of a carry handle on top of Arrow Plastic makes the bottle a few inches longer (therefore a little heavy in a water cooler and harder to fit in a fridge). a Blue Wave bottle often overflows. 2) The Blue Wave plastic bottle is much thicker and should hold up better with longer use, but the Arrow Plastic bottle is about half the price. 3) The Blue Wave bottle comes with vent and stopper. This is handy because you don't have to unscrew the filler cap for the water to flow properly (pouring water creates a vacuum in the bottle, so you need a way to let air in when you draw water). 4) Arrow Plastic Bottle has a wave pattern on the side. It's purely aesthetic (my wife loves it) and something to consider when storing these bottles where you can see them. Overall I would give both bottles about 4 stars. If Arrow plastic bottles came with a vent I would recommend them over Blue Wave. As they are, it's a litter. If you are buying these to fill up your car and keep in the fridge I would go with the Blue Wave. If you are buying it to stand on the counter I would choose Arrow Plastic.
