Rubbermaid® 2122603 Mixermate™ Leak-Resistant Pitcher

As always with Rubbermaid products, you can expect a sturdy, well-made product. I bought 2 of these and I give them 4 1/2 stars, despite a few minor problems.Though it says 'leak resistant', one does leak a bit. Also, I don't love the way the lids fit. They have a 'stop', but it's not flush with the front of the pitcher, which is odd.However, these have a nice, large handhold, which is one of the things I wanted. I was dropping my other containers which didn't have a handhold. This handhold is large and comfy, easy to hold onto.Be aware that the pitchers are very tall. They barely fit on my bottom shelf in the fridge. I have to slightly lift the shelf above in order to get them in because the lip of the shelf blocks them. So check the height of your shelf against the height of the pitcher before you buy.I also don't love the spout cover. It flips up fine, but it stays popped up at an angle, so when the pitcher if half full or less and you have to really tilt the pitcher, the spout cover can get in the way. Would be better with a spout cover that swings to the side or flips all the way back.Some reviewers commented on a smell of bad taste. The label clearly says 'wash before using'. I washed them. No smell or bad taste. They have a wide, open top which makes them easy to clean. Pour in hot, soapy water, put the lid on and shake vigorously.All in all, I highly recommend these. I live in Texas and drink a lot of water, so keeping these gallon pitchers in my fridge is really nice.

Perfect design for a 2 qt sized. Fits perfectly in the fridge without taking a huge amount of space.

Once broken in, this pitcher works well. The seal on the top works exceptionally well with no leaking at all. As mentioned by others, the pouring spout opening is not intuitive. What looks like nothing more than a decorative circle on the opposite side of the spout is where you are supposed to firmly--and I mean FIRMLY push down, causing the spout to pop open. On receipt, the pitcher had a horrible, horrible smell and water poured from it was putrid, almost as though it had been sitting in the warehouse for months and months with no air getting to it. It took multiple washings by hand and in the dishwater to get it to the point where it could be used. After a concentrated effort at cleaning it over several days, it was usable. Despite this difficulty, I would recommend this product. It fits well in the refrigerator and is a handy size.

Rubbermaid half gallon container. I like the size of this and the shape. I have a house full of people who like different things to drink, so I’ve bought several of these after initially trying just one. I can put different drinks into each container and they all fit nicely into the fridge and into the fridge door. They’re sturdy and have a gasket under the lid so they don’t leak. I make lemonade from a powdered mix and I can just shake the container instead of stirring, which is a bit difficult to do because of the shape of the container. The pour spout is flat which I didn’t understand at first, but I find I like it because with the cupped spouts there’s always a little liquid left in the spout when you tip it back up after pouring. With the flat spout it all rolls back into the container. And the flat spout doesn’t splash like the lids with just a round opening do. The white snap lid works great and snaps both open and closed. I have zero regrets about this purchase and will likely continue to buy them for my adult children and will recommend them to my friends. Rubbermaid has taken a legacy product and made it better.The only thing I wish was different is I’d like lines on the side to use as measurements instead of the bubble-shaped marker. I find those to be a little too ambiguous for my liking, but I admit I am possibly a bit too precise when I mix things.

I almost didn't order these, based on some of the reviews, but decided to give them a chance. I am so glad I did. Here are my impressions after two months of daily use of two pitchers.1. These pitchers are not flimsy. While they are lighter and appear thinner, they are quite rigid and do not flex whether empty or fully loaded. It seems this is a better design and a more efficient use of materials2. The caps do align properly. One review I saw said the spout was offset about 45 degrees. That user must have really cranked them on or Rubbermaid made adjustments. When I tightened them finger-tight, they might have been 5 degrees off. I decided to just turn them where they were aligned and see if they leaked. They do not. In fact, when the pitcher is cold, the O-ring seals the pitchers quite snugly and feels secure.3. The flat spout works fine. I originally thought this design would end up with liquid everywhere, but it doesn't. I was surprised to see they worked the same as older spout designs and allowed the pop-up lid to close in a way that better seals the pitcher (from food odors in the refrigerator).Overall, I am quite pleased with these pitchers. Having the handle built into the pitcher provides a more comfortable grip. And the shape makes for a much more efficient use of refrigerator space. Plus, I have yet to see any staining of the plastic from mixing powdered tea in these, unlike my older Rubbermaid pitchers.

Those who complain about the lid being off center and/or prone to leaks probably have leaking outdoor spigots too.Do not crank it down passed the 180 degree point. That creates the problem. Unfortunately, once you've done this, you likely have damaged the rubber gasket and there's no coming back from that -- it either leaks or the spout is misaligned. I suggest that everyone wash the lid by hand and forgo using abrasive pads. One feature that I didn't realize immediately is that the spout cover can lock open in place if you press down hard enough on the thumb circle. Mine is really stiff and requires more pressure than I expected. It has full markers for 2 liters on one side 2 quarts on the other. I could wish these markings were easier to see and that there were markings for at the 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 points. All in all, though, a well-made product.

It handles well and it is sturdy. The opening with the lid off is more than adequate. The pop-up flap is less than adequate, and the blasted thing doesn't have a vent so that when you are pouring through the pop-up flap it does the glug, glug, glug thing making the pour slower than it should or could be and annoying too. Possibly a rookie design engineer.??

This is definitely a little weird but I haven't been this excited about a product from Amazon... EVER, and I've purchased WAYYY too much over the yrs!I can shake my iced coffee instead of using a wooden spoon! Nothing against wooden spoons... They're great, for sure. However, feeling like James Bond every time I drink a "shaken, not stirred", homogeneously exquisite beverage makes me feel great! It gives me the confidence to eject the gf out of the Aston, go to an exotic country, meet a comically evil villain AND a heavily accented woman to have a good time with. Sure, I might get double-crossed. I might have a few close calls. Ultimately, though, I'll come out on top. I'm sure I'll even get a few one-liners in that are definitely NOT corny whatsoever!Just think... If there would have been leaky beverage all over the place and a mess to clean up after giving my precious new jug-a-lug a meaningful shake, the day would have gone very differently! All for such a good price that I have money left over! Money I can use on lessons meant to refine my British accent.

This is the perfect size jug for making frozen Minute Maid juice! I love the screw on cap with the flip up pour spout. And it has a nice handle on one side. It is lightweight which is great because the juice itself is quite heavy when full, so I didn’t want a receptacle that was going to add additional weight. There is just so much I appreciate about this juice jug, and absolutely nothing bad about it!It was such a good price when I purchased it too, only $7.29 CAD.

El producto llego en tiempo y en buen estado, el material es de buena calidad, resistente para el uso esperado.

La jarra es de muy buena calidad, el plástico es muy resistente y la capacidad perfecta para la bolsita de 1 galón de té. Super recomendable.

These Rubbermaid Mixermate pitchers are a good size and seal well, but the quality wasn’t consistent. I bought eight of them, and a few had pour spouts that were slightly off, which made pouring a bit messy. The ones that were made correctly worked great and didn’t leak.Overall useful, but the batch I received had some uneven lids.

Es súper resistente, de excelente tamaño para el refrigerador y sirve fantástico para agitarla cuando haces agua de frutas. Pedí otra por lo bien que me sirvió.
