Pitcher Classic 1 Gallon Clear Base, Red Lid

Great 1 gallon pitcher!CAUTION: Do not do, what I do to mine!You could get badly burned with hot water if you’re not careful.I’m only telling you my story so you can see how tough these pitchers are.My first Rubbermaid pitcher just gave up the ghost a couple of weeks ago. I used it to make ice tea with boiling water, steep the bags, then throw it into a refrigerator until cold.I never felt like it gave off any gasses or odd smells. It never warped.That first one lasted several years doing this torture test day in and day out! A gallon of ice tea lasts me half a week or so.It is an actual Rubbermaid brand pitcher and proved its mettle. It finally sprung a small leak after years of abuse. I had to toss it out and get a replacement.I heat up water in a kettle to boiling (or near boiling), then pour it directly into the plastic pitcher (over a sink, thinking this will be the time the bottom melts out)!It did not melt the bottom out of it after all that time. When it died I was pretty sad. It was a fun and interesting experiment. They changed the design from my earlier one. But seems to be just as tough. I make ice tea like always and the new one handles it the same.I’ll buy another after I bust this one. They clean up easy and are rugged. I can’t give it any greater praise than that.

Classic, high quality Rubbermaid product, which I've come to expect from this company. Works great. This is the 2nd one we've bought, after the 1st one that we've had for many years got a little scratched/etched inside and became difficult to clean the soap from. Easy to use, keep this in the frig with refrigerator iced tea in it constantly, which comes in handy here in sunny south of Virginia, ya'll. :) Don't have to boil water, I just let the frig do the work, like sun tea.

Great quality

Rubbermaid makes good products to exacting standards. In the case of this pitcher they may be too exacting.The lid fits so snuggly that it's almost impossible to twist it between the two opening, much less remove it from the pitcher. I always leave the lid's larges opening facing the spout so I can get a finger in there to help remove the lid.Guess this is a good kind of problem to have

Note: the pitcher I received is not the one in the image. It is the same as other gallon-sized Rubbermaid pitchers on Amazon. The top handle is more like a long bar and, consequently, sticks up higher. I specifically picked the one pictured because it was supposed to be 10.5" high and I wouldn't have to adjust my fridge shelves. The pitcher I received is more like 11.25", so I had to squeeze up one of my shelves. That being said....I drink alot of tea and got tired of making a pitcher every day. The gallon size works great for me. I've been looking at pitchers in the local store and the tops don't turn easily. This one turns with no problem but still clicks into place. It's sturdy and I can wash it in the dishwasher (just barely fits). If it weren't for the mislabeling/height issue, I'd give it a 5.

We use this pitcher for so many things. It’s the perfect size and it’s well made.

In use for several years making cold coffee five days a week. A bit awkward to carry when full, but I never feel like it might break if I fill it up. Liked it so much that when the first one got misplaced, I immediately bought another one.
