Sturdy
Great bottle, sturdy and durable. We use it fill up our drinking water. Just wish it had built in handles but I understand these are meant for fermentation and not transport to/from the water filling station.

Very impressed
I was surprised by how nice the plastic feels. It's not rock solid like those water jugs with a handle, but it is certainly strong enough for the amount of water that it can hold. The nozzle is crystal clear which is pretty cool. The only thing is that mine had a white fade on the top instead of a consistent opacity. It fits a #10 plug like others have said, however, I find that that isn't as secure since you can accidentally push it too far and get it stuck. As you can see on the picture, I could have pushed the plug deeper without much strength. So I suggest something slightly bigger

nice and light
These plastic jugs are so much easier to handle than the glass demijohns that I have. They are nice and light and I am not so freaked out about handling and cleaning them that I will knock them against the sink and break them. I hope they hold up for years of wine making.

Good carboy
Works as expected. Only issue is the opening diameter is just a smidgen bigger than my other carboys.

Coin holder
We got this as a coin jar I assume it holds water well but does a good job with coins

That lightweight vs durable question
Pros: Lightweight. Non-staining. Decent value. Cons: Dealing with plastic "denting." Leaching questions. Avoiding scratches when cleaning or mixing. My solution: Use for short-term/first ferments only. Use glass for longer term storage or secondary ferments when some alcohol is already present.

Beta bowl/terrarium TERRIFIC!
This product is sturdy, and large capacity-comes in a box... no padding. If you plan on cutting the top it is very thick! Makes a great beta habitat!

Carboy arrived filled with dents.
Looks like someone drove a forklift into their boxes or something because this carboy was covered in dents. And this product wasnt cheap. Won't shop with these folks again.
