This is just a big plastic flask, nothing exciting. It's heavy and clunky. There is a removable piece in the neck of the flask, which I assume helps to dispense the pod, but it feels rickety, and it makes me want to rip it out immediately. Although this is advertised as secure and leakproof, I found that the cap could be flipped up with just a small amount of pressure. I've had disasters in my car where tidal waves of liquid secretly poured out of their containers, so I am very wary now of anything holding fluids while rolling around on the floor. Also, the large screw on lid makes me a little nervous. it seems like it could come loose or get misthreaded easily. What do I like about this jug? The large capacity and easy-to-fill wide opening. But there's nothing that really stands out or makes it particularly special compared to all the other water vessels I have in my closets.
