It is the perfect small dispenser to help keep me on track with drinking my daily water ~ It does tend to leak (when completely filled) from the plastic spigot but I work around it by keeping my cup under it (and it does stop when 1/2 empty) ..also took forever getting it to stop leaking from the gasket..tightened it so much I was afraid the plastic would crack but so far it is still working ~ I would like to purchase another for my Cottage but the price has gone up by 25%
