🥤 Carlisle XT500003 Cateraide: High-Performance Insulated Beverage Server/Dispenser Review

We used the beverage server for the first time a month after ordering due to our activities being delayed due to COVID. When the coffee was poured into the container, it immediately started leaking. According to a volunteer who prepared the coffee, the delivery system exploded from the container, scalding the volunteer with hot coffee. Although it wasn't a serious burn, it could have been. We contacted Carlisle the next day but received no reply. It's been a week since Revane's return date, so…

I work as a landscaping contractor with a 4-door Ram 4500. This fridge fits perfectly on the floor of the back seat. If any of the crew members need water, they simply open the back seat door and have access to cold water throughout the day. Dirty gloved hands are no problem to gently dispense water without pressing small buttons or removing gloves.

The blue had no gaskets or washers. They would all merge. Holes were not machined. Rough surfaces, large chips and production debris around holes. These jagged edges caught the existing washers and unthreaded them from the fittings as they were tightened, leaving gaps for fluid flow. There doesn't…

First I gave up on this bad boy. TWICE! Once empty and once full. It wasn't drops like, "Oh, it's okay." They fell down from the body. Nothing happened to you.

Second, this evil Mama Jama kept 5g hot chocolate hot from 3:30am to 2:30pm. 11 hours it was sealed and there was a slight drop in temperature. I'm very impressed. Finally I thought I broke the dull faucet 10 seconds after opening the box. The faucet has
