Great for a peanut butter fryer!

Need a new container after our crazy pup chewed on the lid and opening of our old container. This one is stronger, sturdier and bigger than the one we had, which is perfect. Now all the oil for the fryer is placed in one place.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Compatibility

Great waste oil container

I use this to hold used oil between trips to the auto parts store. I'm tired of cheap oil containers that either leak or the lids fail after a few cycles. This container is very durable, does not leak and has a very strong lid.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Contact seller

Incompatible spout

This bottle has been listed as 'frequently purchased together' on the Revain website. They are not compatible. When the faucet is installed, it leaks heavily. A quick inspection shows that the thread pitch on the neck and sleeve are very different. A 5 gallon bottle is difficult to handle and therefore much less attractive without a tap.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • ---

This 5 gallon jug is perfect for 2 car oil changes!

I was looking for something that would go with both my 8 liter BMW X5 oil and my jeep renegade girlfriend 5 liter oil and this 5- Gal baby holds everything together perfectly after changing the oil! Note that you will need to punch a hole in the mini hole on the other side so the oil can come out much easier!

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • There are nuances

Slightly disappointed

This container is much lighter than I expected. Given the price and the photos I assumed it was more puncture proof than it actually is. The walls are made of thin plastic that can be easily punctured with a sharp angle or tool. In addition, 3 labels were stuck on the package. One was a large shipping label with an aggressive adhesive that made it impossible to easily peel off. I might be able to get it off with hot water, but I can't scrape the label off with a tool because it will most likely

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Suitable

Do not store on side

Main hole leaks no matter how tight I close it. The picture is deceptive along with the dimensions. I thought it was 11 inches tall, but it's 15 inches tall. I had a special place to store aquarium water. It's too big for this place right now, so I put it on the side. When I came back later, about a quarter of the water was on my hardwood floors. I screwed the lid tight on purpose because I had read several other reviews that they leaked. If you plan on storing it upright then that's fine, but…

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Repair

Leaked on first use.

Developed for changing the water in the aquarium. Drilled vent hole and filled with water. Install it over a tank and run a siphon to pump water from this bottle into the tank (I haven't found a proper fill tap yet). Came back a few minutes later to check it out. It spread all over the bottom, I thought it might be because of the dirty filling, but I found a mold defect or slight damage on the side opposite the cover. I'll try to seal it as I've already drilled a hole in it but it was quite…

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • No automatic
