5 gallon Rectangular Carboy

This item really served our purposes in storing rice, beans, and other dried goods for long-term storage. At the time of purchase, we caught a good price. The jugs are even strong enough for stacking with lighter items like cereal. With heavier materials you may want to go a different route if stacking is a big deal.

I was a little concerned with the lack of pics and the description of the one star reviews, but was very happy with the quality and value of the carboy. It is taller than my other one, making it more narrow which is something I like about it.

I am using these for waste oil, and not for the intended use. They are a bit thin and the caps and necks needed a bit of flashing cleanup. With careful handling they should give good service and are easier to handle than filling up a larger quantity of 1 gallon or 5 quart containers.

i grow tomatoes and other vegetables outdoors. I add some well water to the carboy with the hydroponic solution and haul it outside. There I top the carboy off. I used to haul around 5 liter buckets, which were prone to tip over. These carboys I can easily carry thru the house without worrying about spilling gallons of water on my wooden floor. I own 3.

As I said on another review I buy diesel oil in the bulk much cheaper than in a store so when I go to get the oil it comes in a 55 gallon drum now I can’t move a drum that big so I pour the oil into these five gallon containers and bring them home and store them in the garage till in need the oil works out great.

Bought four of these to put emergency water in for next time we lose electric. Perfect for my needs. Just need to have water on hand to flush toilets etc since we have a well that needs electric to get the water from. Good price for the size I needed.

just the right size - easy to transport - translucent so water level is clearbought solely for transporting water from the aquarium storelids are tight and they're easy to storethe shape is great so they don't go toppling over in the trunk of the car

I'm storing use motor oil. Until I go to the town garage to recycle it, it seems to work very well.
