Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2022
They are great to haul water from the campground faucet to the campsite. 2.6 gallons of water is about the weight limit I am willing to carry a ways, so this is a handy container. The handle is a bit on the thin/slim side and slightly uncomfortable if you have arthritic hands. The lid closes tightly and does not leak.
Now for the big negative.....
although those containers are advertised as "BPA free", it does not state this anywhere on the container. I am not sure how this industry is regulated anyway and if it would make a difference if someone just printed this phrase on the container....
But while camping and using this container as my primary water vessel, the water tasted quite "plasticky", even though in the 14 days of everyday use I changed locations and used different water sources.
So I am a bit reluctant to continue using these containers for my drinking water in the future.
However I would still use them to haul water for washing dishes and other water needs - just not for drinking.
Therefore I can give this container a rating of 3 stars only.
I bought four of these white collapsible containers and used them for a couple of camping trips, a week each.

No "BPA Free" markings anywhere on the container; folds great though!
