What Customers Are Saying

The product has a mixed reception. Some customers appreciate its sturdy construction, large capacity, and safety features, while many others find the complicated pouring mechanism extremely difficult to use. The main complaints are that the spout is awkward and hard to operate, requiring two hands, and the built-in filter restricts the flow rate, causing the gas pump to shut off prematurely. Several customers also reported significant leakage and spills around the spout. Overall, the consensus is that the product sacrifices usability and convenience in the name of safety features, and many customers recommend finding a simpler gas can design.

Great product for a great price, and its EZ to use

Would Recommend

The product is easy to use, and its cool how the spout works as the lid. Gas canisters are more expensive in other stores, so I was glad to find these here for $30 each

Absolute trash, intentionally designed to waste gas. It should be illegal to sell this and Lowes should be publicly shamed for carrying such garbage.
