   Lo he usado con el calentador portátil y resulto ser muy útil, se cierra herméticamente y conforme sale el agua se va comprimiendo, ya una vez comprimido, se puede guardar en cualquier parte, no hace bulto y almacena suficiente agua para transportarla….

   Good, basic water carrier. The material is tough and really hard to puncture. I gave it a thorough washing after purchase and there was no plastic/chemical taste to the water, even when stored for a few days. The lid/spout screwed on tight and the rubber gasket didn’t leak. The main issue I had was with the handle. I’ve had similar carriers with a hard plastic handle, but this model simply has a hollow handle that’s part of the body of the carrier itself. It works OK, but it’s soft and flexible so it’s awkward and uncomfortable to carry for any distance. Plus, it’s hollow so it’s hard to clean (you’ll need to swish some bleach through it before / after use, as it’s a perfect place for bacteria to grow). Otherwise, it’s a strong water bag that’s not too big and heavy to move easily when full.

   This is a handy product to carry water on your travel..longevity of the product has to be assessed.

   We have a couple of these from many years ago, and they are still in great shape. We wanted an additional one, so very happy to find that they’re still available for purchase!
   No leakage. Pour spout works great.
   They fold up somewhat for storage, but we don’t try to get them really flat for fear that would damage them.
   The 5-gal one has an extra handle, which really helps with carrying it.
   (We also have the smaller one, I think it’s 2.5 gal. It doesn’t have the extra handle, so even though it’s lighter than the 5-gal, it’s harder to carry.)
   Both sizes come with a tab on the top that has a hole in it and a hook and rope for hanging from the tab, but we’ve never done that so don’t know how well the tab would hold up under that kind of use.
   Truly a great product!

   Carries 5 gallons. The container feels pretty solid for a collapsible. If your looking for a fast pour rate, this container isn’t for you. It takes roughly 20 seconds for an 8 oz. pour of water. You can get a slightly faster pour if you apply pressure to the container. Haven’t tried hanging it. For how heavy it feels when it is full, the hole provided for the intent of hanging it from a tree or branch doesn’t seem strong enough to hold the container up but may when it is more empty. Overall very good for a 5 gallon water container that’s needed on the go and can pack away in a pinch.

   I recently sent these water containers to my son who lives in Florida before the rash of hurricanes. When I say they are well worth the price, I mean it! He filled them and kept them as backups in case he lost water. Electricity went out in his area and he ran short on bottled water but he was secure knowing he had these containers full of water as backups for him & his two dogs. I highly recommend these for anyone in any area of the US. Natural disasters hit every area at inopportune times but with these containers on hand, worrying about extra water just took back seat to other supplies. Be sure to check emergency sites to determine how many containers your family might need for 72 hours to 1 week without potable water. I highly recommend these containers!

   I bought this to replace an older Coleman water jug I had. This feels very thin and flimsy compared to the older ones. I don’t think it will be long before it pops a hole.
   

9. Lee MaHon Verified Buyer – 25 February 2025

   It was leaking when full but okay when a third. Avoid it inside a tent. I guessed due to the oval shape of the mouth! Tried to be encircled but it recovered later. Not be returned , yet it’s good at enclosing much water for washing in camp or vast usage. The sides appeared resilient enough. When not in use, the tap is flipped to the top to avoid leaking. 5-gallon was huge, likely for 4 ga. When a third full, it dropped on side with smaller holding base. Not said free of BHA etc.

    We bought this for camping. We like that it collapses when we are not using it, i.e. at home. However after about 6 trips of 3-4 days each, we are unable to get the cap to seal correctly so it is leaking all the time. In addition, the amount of water that comes out when the spigot it turned all the way on is minimal. I can put a pot underneath it and walk away to do something else before the pot is even half full. So annoying. I have contacted Coleman and am trying to work with them but there is a lot of info, like product number that is not available or stamped onto this product. Would definitely not recommend it.

    I bought this for “peace of mind.” But I’ll probably take it on a future “cabin camping” trip, too. But yep, if a winter storm is coming in , I keep jugs of water in the home and garage — I always remember having to boil water a few times, when power went out, and we got the “boil water” notice. Rare — but it happens. Very heavy plastic, but it’s still foldable for storage.

    I grew up camping with this product. I didn’t really know anything different. It doesn’t insulate or protect your water at all, but I didn’t need that. This does exactly what it’s designed to do – hold water and dispense it when needed. It collapses well enough that I can stuff it onto a shelf or into a bin for storage until my next camping trip. I’m glad that I bought one of these for myself and will suggest it to all of my generations to come as well.

    I gave this two stars because it does one thing well, it holds water. The big problem is that it holds onto it far too well. If you are purchasing this to transfer water, it is horrible. The spout is small and it creates a vacuum in the tank, the result is that it takes about 45 minutes for this carrier to empty when it is hung by the handle and the valve is opened all the way. We have a pop up trailer, and when we camp where there aren’t water hook ups, we have to use something like this to haul water and refill the 25 gallon on-board tank. My system is to hang a carrier like this from a camera tripod and open the valve to drain the water into the trailer tank. I bought two of these so I could empty one while I was filling the other. Because these empty so slowly, it would take me close to 4 hours to fill the trailer. The carrier I had before I bought these was from a company called Reliance, they are more expensive but it seems like the extra cost is 100% worth it for what I need this for. I decided to add some pics of what I ended up doing. I went to Cal Ranch and bought 2′ of braided vinyl hose with a 1″ OD, then I cut out the inside of the valve and stuck the hose through it. Now it empties in about 15-20 seconds and works like a champ, it doesn’t shut off but for what I will use it for it works. I’m going to leave the rating at two stars because if I was purchasing this and was using it as it comes, it would SUCK!!!
