Vanilla Leisure Collapsible Water Container With Tap 5.5 Litre Capacity - Festival & Camping Essentials - Foldable Water Carrier Equipment - Easy Storage & BPA Free - Portable Lightweight Carry Handle

Built quality is questionable, it feels very cheap and was annoying to expand out the first time. BUT it's really useful, doesn't leak and can be transported really easily.top tip: you can tighten it easier by holding the inside bolt it place and twisting the tap. reposition so just as it almost can't move, the tap will tighen into the correct position. the rubber gasket basically expanded outwards in my case (wasn't taking chances)quirks- the bottom is only attatched via the tap so if you're trying to pull the top up the bottom will kind of lift out of the blue base (annoying but minor)- the tap touches the surface the dispenser is placed on- when cleaning the inside bubbles/foam gets caught on the ridgesas someone who moves around a lot I'm glad I can take it with me. I'm okay with the minor quirks for the portability it provides, but it could be better

I've been biding my time before reviewing this because I wanted to give it a good try-out. Initially, I thought that it leaked at the bottom and was therefore useless. But when I investigated the problem, I realized that in fact the problem was with me: I hadn't tightened nylon the hex nut on the inside enough to create a leak-proof seal. It doesn't come with assembly instructions, but it's pretty obvious how it's supposed to go together. The tap comes separately, with two silicon washers and the nylon hex nut. The hex nut and one washer go on the inside and the tap and the second washer on the outside. I discovered that the best and easiest way to tighten the nut enough was actually to hold it in position on the inside while I turned the tap from the outside.Having done that, I refilled it right to the top and tried again ... and after 24 hours, there's still no sign of a leak.It's now installed in my conservatory, to help with the never-ending task of plant watering.

The Vanilla Leisure Cask 3.5L Collapsible Liquid Dispenser with Tap has proven to be a handy addition to my outdoor gear collection. While the plastic construction is a bit of a drawback for me, it's functional and BPA-free.The extendable and collapsible feature is a plus, though I did find it a tad rigid when trying to expand it fully. This aspect could use some improvement. Nevertheless, I see a lot of potential in its design, especially for camping trips or festivals like Glastonbury, where staying hydrated is crucial.Considering its affordability, it's no surprise that it's primarily made of plastic. However, this doesn't overshadow the fact that it's a practical solution for carrying and dispensing liquids in outdoor settings. All in all, the Vanilla Leisure Cask offers convenience and value, making it a decent choice for those outdoor adventures.

On its first use, The top detached when 2/3 full and upon hitting the ground, the body split

This is a nice idea and great when it comes to storage. Just a little annoying getting it prepped for use but it’s okay.Not bad

Handy collapsable water dispenser. Very stiff to expand when it first arrives. The tap needs to be inserted and the washer used on the inside to create a decent seal. I used it for a children's party with squash in it, the children loved pushing the tap to fill their cups. It definitely increased the amount they drank.Cheap, easy to store and the tap works. Good for the price.

I found it easier to push my hand into it to pull out the creases ready to wash and fill. It did pop back a few times. I didn't put the dispenser bit on properly so it leaked but no instruction really, thank goodness I realised before I list all the squash! It does the job though, I've used it on our garden table to make sure the kids drink while outside on a hot day. Cheap and cheerful :)

Bought for a camping trip, couldn't use as leaked everywhere from the bottom, waste of money.
