I was worried that this wouldn't make my ordinary tap water taste great, but it really does a great job at improving the taste and making the water taste more pure. The shape is nice for not taking up too much space in the refrigerator, and holding a large volume of water. The spigot seems well made, sturdy, durable and easy to use. The handles make it a lot easier than expected to lift a full heavy container back into the fridge after filling. There is just something about a glass of water that has been refrigerated all day...
