Review on Stylish And Durable 2 Gallon Glass Beverage Dispenser With Stainless Steel Spigot And Hanging Chalkboard - Perfect For Outdoor Gatherings by Brittany Lawrence

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't waste your money on cheaper versions

I got this because my $12 Wal-Mart version shattered when I set it down on my counter. Not even hard. Just, gently set it down and it broke into a thousand razor-sharp shards. The glass, I found, was paper thin in some spots on that one; it was bound to break sometime. I'm just lucky it wasn't full when it happened. This one seems to be of much higher quality. The glass is thicker all around, the spigot is nice, and the little chalk-board is cute. I write stupid messages on it for my girlfriend and it's pretty fun. The spigot (I splurged and got the metal one) is fan-freaking-tastic. It's super smooth to operate and it doesn't leak at all. Turning the flow on and off feels very positive. The plastic one from my last beverage dispenser felt like it was going to break every time I used it. This one feels really sturdy. In addition, the height of the spigot is much better placed than the last one I had. On that one, they put the spigot about two inches from the bottom, leaving about 1/4 of a gallon in there by the time you had to start tipping it to get the rest out. This one is much lower, about 3/4 of an inch from the bottom, so virtually all of the liquid is gone before you have to tip it. A surprisingly huge improvement that I hadn't even thought of when I bought it. All in all, a great buy.

Pros
  • Easily portable
Cons
  • The spigot may not be suitable for carbonated beverages
