> 24 hourI bought this jug in May and used it all through the summer while I worked as a lifeguard on the beach. Our 7-hour-straight shifts mean a gallon of water, sometimes more, is necessary. However, I was tired of the cheap plastic jugs that leak all over my face when I try to drink directly from them. So I splurged and spent a day and a halfs pay on this jug. Pros of the Yeti jug: It never leaks. It holds ice all day in direct sunlight and 90-degree-plus temperatures. The magnetic cap is neat. The nozzle is good to chug from. Its stainless steel so it never rusts, despite having been dropped in the ocean and the sand. Cons: Filled with water, it weighs nearly 15 pounds- much heavier than the cheap plastic jugs. On the days when I had to walk to my stand carrying the jug in my hand it was a killer. I would routinely do bicep curls with it as a joke. The jug gets scratched very easily. It also got dented in the top edge early on, and although it was only cosmetic, plastic jugs dont get dented. Its EXPENSIVE. Overall, Im satisfied with my purchase. If the huge price tag isnt too off-putting, Id recommend it.

> 24 hourCame without a cap on it, disappointing but it doesn’t take away from the yeti itself, just poor shipping.

> 24 hourLoved it till i needed customer support! They make it so difficult to do anything except give them your money. If you need parts forget it. I was promissed a cap for my 1 gallon jug! It never came i contacted them and just gave up!

> 24 hourLove this Gallon Yeti! has twist off top with wide opening enough to be able to put your hand in and clean! Like that the small drinking cap is magnetic! sticks to the top while you pour or drink from it. Im loving the Yellow color too!

> 24 hourI got this water bottle to keep in the car for my dog on hot summer days. Its in my car 24/7 with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees and the water is ALWAYS cool when it comes out. Its come in handy time and time again when I was in a road trip and was thirsty, after hikes, stranded with a flat tire and of course for its original purpose, keeping my pup hydrated on hot days. I’d buy another if they werent so expensive, but well worth it for any dog lover.

> 24 hourThe reviews for this product are absurd. Does not leak at all unless you dont close it right which is a plain truism. Ive seen reviews about people saying it is really hard to open the jug, but another truism, if you close it really tight it will always be really hard to open back up just like anything else. You have to close it just right and it doesnt leak and it opens easily. There are two weak point where you are supposed to press on to open the jug. That will be by pressing both of your thumbs on the side of the handle and using the rest of your fingers to open the bottle really simple. If have been looking to buy a one gallon jug for a while that contains your water cold, i truly recommend this one for your liking. I use this jug every day and i do clean it everyday and it is quick and simple. Dont be afraid of spending 140 bucks if you have the money it is really worth it.

> 24 hourWhat caused me to give this 4 stars instead of 5? In order to prevent it from leaking, I have to CRANK the lid down so hard that it takes everything my wife and I combined have in us to unscrew it to clean and refill it, one holding it and the other unscrewing it. And both of us are large strong people. If the lid is just normally tight, it leaks around the rim of the lid like a sieve. And, no, its not cross-threaded, it screws on smoothly and easily. Pros: Everything else. If it werent for the need to use superhuman strength to close and open the thing, Id want to give it 6 stars. Sturdy bottle, sturdy handle, magnetic holder for pour spout lid works great, this thing is a tank.

> 24 hourIf you spend lots of time outside during the summer, cold beverages are a big deal. This guy holds enough icy cold drink to supply either four adults drinking adult beverages, or several young children guzzling lemonade. The magnetic cap is cool, but not impressive. You really want to pay attention when closing it up as the threads can go off track. Also, too tight and youre sealed for life; too lose and youve got a lap full of Jack n Coke. Weighs a ton, so if youre in trouble, throw it at a bad guy. It will survive being thrown at a bad guy because this jug is TUFF. Id LOVE to know why the manufacturer is asking me to rate Flavor. Thats just wacky.

> 24 hourLove it, honestly, was debating if I really needed something like it, but it seriously keeps my water fresh and away from outside influence, unless you treat it like an unwanted child and leave it in the sun in the car with windows up and all, then it will get a bit warm, but not insanely hot, which is cool because it wont scortch while drinking. Just keep it clean routinely and you will love it. Only complaint I have is, I really bwish it came with like a Small sock or rubber base cover as to not be a safety concer to the passers by. Like with the sleeve on its cool, but on the days I do t want the pocket sleeve and want to travel light. A fabric sock or rubber base cover would be great to cover the base and not have to worry so much about where to place it, and accidentally bumping. Also the borrow is prone to scrapes and the like, possiblity of rust too, so would make sense to at least have the option to buy. Instead you could buy a mount for the back of your car. Like wtf is that for buddy. Conventional use please. Thank you.

> 24 hourReally good quality bottle and I loved it. But it came dented so I returned it. For $130 it better be flawless. Then I discovered the Coldest Water brand. Same design, almost identical. I ordered it and sure enough it was the same structure as the Yeti. I think they are all, even the hydro flask, are made by the same manufacturer. They’re all also made in China. I was really hoping the yeti was made in USA but it’s only designed in the states. The Coldest Water brand is the exact same but it’s $30 cheaper bc it’s a less known brand. AND it also has a straw so you don’t have to lift the entire gallon over your head to get a sip. The stainless steel gallon with water in it is very heavy. In any case, which ever one you get, it’s a very good investment bc bpa from plastic is highly cancerous. You don’t even know if the water inside plastic bottles are what they say they are. These bottles are out in the sun on pallets at the markets. Please switch over to stainless steel, whatever brand, to avoid bpa. It is so so bad. I am not being paid by any of these companies. I just hate the damage done by plastic.
