The Jar has a nice appeal to it. Meaning, it is nice to look at.
My refridgerator has adjustable shelves so it fits in it. But, if the seal is left on the jar, the beverage will just trickle out of the spout. I removed the seal and it works fine w/o it. I would have prefered the spout to be of a different type. The twisting knob is fine for me, but it seems that most guests have had difficulty figuring it out. It would be much simpler with a pull spout.
Not terrible, but could be improved.
 Does not fit my needs July 6, 2007

I have been searching for a glass iced-tea dispenser that I could actually make the tea in, store in the refrigerator, and use to dispense the tea into my glass. The product description was pretty meager, so I just had to hope for the best. It turns out that the unit fits none of these requirements of mine. Since S&H was already quite expensive to get the unit, I have no desire to send it back, only doubling that cost to myself. Instead, I am giving away the unit. For someone else, it may be perfect. For me, it is anti-perfect, and here's why:
1) It's too large to fit into my refrigerator. Even if it fit, I would be afraid it would be too heavy for the shelves, when filled to the brim.
2) It came with directions NOT to make the tea directly in the jar.
3) The lid and sealing mechanism is awkward and falls apart a lot during assembly.
4) The spout diameter is quite small and affords only a rather slow rate of dispensing: Your hand kind of gets tired holding the glass up to it to fill it!
5) The spout opening mechanism does not contain even a hint of a stop. You twist it to get more flow, and all of a sudden the cap is in your hand and the fluid from the jar is running all over the place. If you had a party, you'd need to have a warning note to your guests about this issue!
The one saving grace about the unit is that it does not leak. Another is that once the lid and brace are placed, the seal seems fairly secure. Still, there's not enough on the plus side for me to keep it.
We've used Ball jars for generations in my family, and I really expected something useful to me. Obviously, I'm disappointed and a little irritated at the waste of money.
