After lots of washing and rinsing out, this carrier stills leaves an horrible plastic taste to the water, we have now given up and thrown it away.

Even after washing and rinsing with warm water there is a horrible plastic taste to the water. Not fit for purpose

Don't bother. Washed out many times and can't get rid of the plastic taste. Gone in the bin.

As another customer has already said - fiddly to fill then use, low flow out of tap, can never empty it properly to dry out, and WORST OF ALL, can never get rid of the plastic smell and taint despite

Difficult & fiddly to fill up. After washing it out a few times, as recommended, water tastes of plastic. Water tap can be awkward when using. Don’t bother!

Great product, easy to fill and to carry when full. There is a lingering plastic taste common to similar containers, live with it or don't use it for drinking water. Overall very pleased.

Impossible to fill without using 2 hands, ended up with soaked feet as you can't turn the tap on and off. Won't fill fully as stays stuck together. Also very hard to pour water out again. Awful taste.

Tried using this but as the other reviewers have said it makes the water taste terrible. I didn't look at these reviews until after I had bought it in the shop and used it. It's going in the bin

Unuseable, 1st use it was terrible, we were camping in the middle of nowhere and were sick after it, tried to get rid of the TCP taste and smell including as a last resort sanitiser but now in the bin

Agree with other reviews. I tried many different ways of washing it out but you just can’t get rid of the horrendous chemical taste. Even after boiling water numerous times it’s foul tasting.

This product does carry water without any leaks. The problem is what the water is used for.
Washing up while camping - Fine
For Drinking - Avoid, water tastes horrible even after numerous rinsing.

Looked like it would be great, but it is difficult to fill and, despite several washes with warm water as suggested, water always has an anticeptic taste. The tap leaked too.

DON'T waste your money, if you're planning on using this to transport potable water. Despite washing it out several times prior to first use the water still tasted awful

A good design and easy to fill and use but strong taste of chlorine despite rinsing before use- hopefully will disappear with time

Still washing it out a week later , water tastes horrible

Washed out many times and even dosed it with Milton but to no avail. Even tried to make tea after boiling it but the taste of plastic still clings. A cheap product that will carry 10 litres so I suppose it will pass the Trades Description Act as they don't claim it is for drinking water, hence the single star.

C'mon Go Outdoors, this is not a product you should be associated with.

Very good and great price

Waste of money, do not buy. Washed out numerous occasions as per direction and still tastes disgusting. Ruined squash and coffees.

I bought this product, so subsequently hadn’t read the reviews. I wish I had. The water that you get from this carrier is undrinkable. Despite washing it with warm soapy water it leaves a horrible chemical taste. My children couldn’t drink their squash. Me and my husband couldn’t drink our coffee. Absolutely waste of money. Do not buy.

Come on Hi gear, read these reviews and use different plastic, it tastes disgusting, is difficult to fill and empty, despite being a good idea. Another opening at the top would make it much easier to fill, as it is it is very difficult and you waste water and get wet.
