Buddeez Clear Drink 3.5 Gallon Plastic Beverage, Comes with Stand, Spigot, Ice Cone, Large Punch Dispenser for Parties

I own two of these since I entertain lots. This dispenser is perfect...First, it looks like glass. In fact, someone even made a point how dangerous it was for me to be serving pineapple jalapeno margaritas in a pretty glass container as though it would crash to the floor. However, unlike some of the glass dispensers I've used, this one doesn't leak. YEA! It holds far more than most as well and has a nice stand that it attaches to to make it the perfect height off the counter. The trick is to screw the dispenser on well and use the washers that come with it on both sides...that will make it unleakable. But my favorite part is that the drinks stayed chilled for hours because this has a removable ice chute that goes down the center of the dispenser. If you don't feel like using it, just remove it and put the lid back on without it but we actually used this without having to haul in an icebag for the margaritas because the drinks came out of the dispenser chilled. And that is fabulous! If you are doing a fairly clear drink you can even make it more decorative. For example, if you are serving lemonade, put slices of lemons in the center chute along with the ice for a decorative touch. Whether serving tea at a dinner party or serving margaritas at a huge gathering, this is as simple as it gets and you can prepare the drinks and forget them before guests even arrive. No bartender, no pouring, no worries...set it out and they can help themselves and you have more time to mingle! This is a third of the price of my old glass dispenser and it stores away more easily because it is lightweight and this one doesn't leak and my old one did. AND this one is far prettier! It actually looks elegant!

Bought this for a large baby shower. 60 ppl and it was perfect. Did not leak, was exactly as described. I would recommend this item.

I absolutely love this beverage dispenser! I love that it is so much larger than other similar ones out there, so it holds a lot of liquid. I also love that you can fill the center core with ice, so you don't have to put the ice into the beverage, which causes it to get watered down. Another nice feature is the optional stand. It works perfectly fine without the stand (and looks better without it), but you can do it either way. Placing the ice core in is so simple, and you can still easily add liquids to the container even with the ice core in it. The dispenser was very easy to install and it works great, with no leaking. I like how this looks nice and elegant, yet can also be casual. Cleaning it was very easy as well, and storing it is just as easy, since you can invert the stand and place it inside the jug, then place the ice core in and put the lid on and store it right back in the box it came in. I look forward to getting a lot of use out of the 2 of these that I ordered!

At this point I have only unboxed, washed, and put in the spigot on this nice beverage server. My daughter's bridal shower is coming up and she wants to serve sweet tea as one of the beverages. I wanted a stylish way to serve without using a pitcher. First this came packaged very nicely to prevent damage (there was no damage) and has detailed instructions on putting it together and washing. When I saw how very nice this was made with the solid ice container in the center I was very impressed. My husband installed the spigot and we tried it to make sure it did not leak and it worked flawlessly. The stand and the style of the container are very nice and would suit a formal or casual gathering. I am totally impressed that this was less than $30! For home use I would love to have this in perhaps a 2 gallon size. HINT!

I ordered two of these for my daughter's graduation party. I wanted a sophisticated dispenser for water, instead of guest using individual bottles or cans (is very wasteful & costs more). After I ordered them, I found something similar at WalMart for 1/2 the price. However, when these arrived the difference in quality was significant. They are larger, more durable, and look nicer. The base can be filled or left clear depending on your decorating. The center piece is removable, or can be filled with ice, or frozen with water, to keep the drink cold. I only gave four stars because one of the bases arrived cracked, but it didn't compromise the structure and I'm hoping the seller will exchange for a new unit.

Can't believe how stunning this looked on our chocolate and blueberry champagne cocktail buffet in our "Welcome" suite for a friend's wedding last week. There's something about the unique gracious shape of this Buddeez dispenser that makes it look oh-so-elegant!!! We put Hershey's "I Do" kisses under the separate base part and used silver umbrella toothpicks skewered with jumbo blueberries in each MINI tasting wine/champagne glass (you can order 96 of them pretty cheap from W*yfair.) We were happily surprised that there was absolutely ZERO dripping at the spout and the champagne stayed cold all day with no diluting the cocktail. We did change the ice out very easily a few times--just a tiny twist and it lifts right out (the ice tube locks down so it won't float up). Even with the ice tube in, it is very easy to pour and refill this dispenser--we mixed raspberry vodka, a blueberry liqueur and Prosecco with a bit of sparkling Concord grape juice to get the color and taste just right without getting too tipsy before the main event later in the day (it was still cold for the after-party in our suite until 2am--not showing those photos here!!!) For the price ($28) this really met our expectations and MORE! Very versatile for decorating, worked perfectly and looked beautiful too! Love it!

Great product. Looks great, easy to use and set up - highly recommend.

I bought this for a baby shower. It worked out great. The spigot did not leak. It is nice having the ice separate from the drink, so the drink does not get watered down. I recommend it highly.

Great product. The price could have been better.

Tiene un buen diseño, gran capacidad, se ve resistente. Es una muy buena compra para restaurantes o el propio hogar

Item as described

Purchased to use at work for large work functions. Is fantastic, keeps the drink cold with the ice column down the middle, has a sturdy rubber-ringed base and large capacity. The drink nozzle drips a little bit, but nothing concerning. Cleans up easily.

Amazing product. Make sure you tighten the spout well to avoid leakages. Do it gently and slowly and go as far as you can without breaking it but you have to tighten it well to avoid any leakages. But product is very good quality.a
