Igloo 10-Gallon Seat Top Water Jug with Cup Dispenser - Orange

Like many people, I ordered these to convert to a hot water tank and mash tun for brewing. I received exactly what I ordered and it arrived within two or three business days. This was by far the best price anywhere for the igloo cooler. I've heard it holds temps better than the Rubbermaid version--but I have no factual evidence.

It's a water jug so yeah, it holds water well. lol I cant talk about how cold it keeps the water or for how long. I bought this for our cubscout pack and we used it over a three day camping trip. Worked well. It's a 10 gallon, so filled it weighs about 80+ lbs. The handles seem to be able to hold up. The spout seems like a good quality. It comes with the black cup dispenser shown in the picture. The lid also has a rope tied to it to keep you from loosing it, I guess. The price was good, and it shipped/ arrived fast. There was another 10 gallon I looked at, the Rubbermade one. But reviews were not good. If we have issues down the road, I'll try to come back and report it here.

The size is perfect. I love the construction and the sturdiness. You can sit on it no problem. It will be perfect for drinks of water

I bought 2 of these Igloo Beverage Coolers because of the price. They arrived in great shape. I purchased them using Walmart.com Ship to Home. They will make a good mash tun for brewing beer the all grain way.

I just bought this Igloo 10 Gallon Igloo Orange and White Beverage Jug. I plan to use it for my beer brewing hobby as a mash tun. Right now I am installing a Stainless Steel Spigot to the cooler along with a Stainless Steel False Bottom. Here is the important point I would like to make: When you remove the original plastic spigot, you will notice the wall thickness right at the spout area is 1/8th inches thick on this cooler. (The wall tapers down to 1/8th inch at the spigot area). This means the new metal nipple has to be a 1/2 inch CLOSE nipple. (CLOSE nipple means the threads nearly meet in the middle or are threaded across the entire nipple). A non CLOSE nipple will maybe have a non threaded 1/4" to 3/8th" area in the center of the nipple. If you can't crank the nuts and fittings on each side of the nipple down to around 1/8th inch, you won't be able to secure your new spigot to the cooler and have a water tight connection. Different brand coolers have different wall thicknesses bye the spigot. This one is around 1/8th inch. So I hope this helps other home brewers out so you can buy the proper nipple for your cooler. I bought all my SS fittings as a kit from: www.bargainfittings.com A kit for a metal vessel will fit this cooler better then their water cooler kit as the nipple provided is not a CLOSE one for their water cooler kit. Most likely an ice chest conversion would require a nipple larger then a CLOSE one. This cooler will make a great Mash Tun. At 10 gallon capacity, it easily will be able to handle any 5 gallon batch and some not wee heavy 10 gallon batches. It's a really great product! One last thing, the cup holder you get with the cooler is rmovable as you won't need or use it with the cooler used as a mash tun.

I use this cooler for a mashtun when brewing beer. In my first mash it held temps much better than expected. The spigot is easy to remove for installing a ball valve as well which is nice. I'm sure it would work great as a regular cooler too.

This purchase was a good choice. I bought this for a family reunion in the outdoors in Colorado. We used it for Country Time Lemonade, and Kool-aid. It held ice for about 24 hours which worked fine but a little disappointed with it because Colorado summers are not hot at all. Overall it was a great purchase and woul recomend this product.

Great product at a great price. My only complaint is that the lanyard that attaches the lid to the cooler gives way too easily. So instead of the lanyard helping me to keep track of the lid, I must keep track of the loose lanyard instead. This seems a bit pointless but it has no impact on how the cooler works. Highly recommended except for the weak lanyard.

This Igloo Seat Top is a good, large 10 gallon cooler for general cold beverage use. For that I recommend it. My peeve is that the lid is completely hollow and it doesn't have any of the thermal foam advertised. I suspect the rest of the cooler lacks thermal foam as well.

I ordered 10-Gallon Seat Top Water Jug but received some other thing(Igloo Wire Rack Holder for Beverage **** 2-5-Gallon). When I returned, the CS rep asked me to call online order helpline to return untill a supervisor came and said just process an incorrect item received and issue refund!! I had ordered this exact item on Sep 1, and have no issues with the product as such(thats why ordered another one), but why would you send me a completely different item is something I don't get. Now when I try to order again, its price has increased 20%, is that why you sent me wront item so I will return, and then you sell me at higher price? I am sorry I have now ordered this from another retailer and the old less price.
