This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had!!! I love these jars so I ordered one for my mother in law for mother's day. When the jar arrived it was totally crooked!! The stand was crooked as well. I actually got out my measuring tape and it measured one full inch longer on one side. It was ridiculous!! I spent about 2 weeks trying to get them to respond to me so I could return or exchange the jar. They never did respond to me until I got paypal involved!! Then of course they responded and said that they would return the product if I promised not to leave bad remarks on their website. I packaged up the item and left it on my doorstep liked they asked me to do...I emailed Dean and let him know it was there....I have been emailing and leaving phone messages for about a month now and they still have not responded to me. I am not a difficult person to please. I have felt like their customer service has been horrible and I want to WARN everyone about throwing their money away...I am out 75 bucks...so I decided that I would go ahead and post as many comments on their site as I possibly can so that it reflexs badly on thier customer service!

Perhaps you've seen these in your favorite bar filled with all kinds of fresh fruit and vodka. The taste is really amazing. Produces nice, clean flavors. It is endless as to what you can make in these. Here are some ideas: Real Old Fashioned Lemonade, Strawberry Vodka, Olive Vodka, Jungle Juice, Pineapple Kiss, Melon Vodka, Spiced Pumpkin Vodka, Cran-Orange Spice Vodka, Tropical Fruit Vodka, Plum Vodka, Pear Vodka, Nectarine Vodka, Coconut Vodka, Herb Vodka, Raspberry Vodka, Lemon Vodka. This big, 408 oz. (That's over 3 gallons), handmade green tint jar is made of recycled glass in Italy. It measures 16 1/2" high with the lid on by 8" wide. At the base is a brass spout. Every jar will have its own individuality with mould marks (also known as creases) as well as occasional bubbles in the glass. These are not flaws but are authentications that the jar is handmade.

Prodyne Fruit Infusion 93-Ounce Natural Fruit Flavor Pitcher Review

Prodyne Fruit Infusion 93-Ounce Natural Fruit Flavor Pitcher

I first saw this pitcher when I was looking for the same thing but with an ice core instead of the infusion core (which just happens to be made by the same company). I thought it was a great concept; and since I'm always looking for ways to add more water to my diet (without having to drink plain old ordinary water), I decided to give it a try. I was immediately hooked!
Here are a couple of things that I've observed:
Distilled water works best.
Depending upon what type of fruit you use in the core, it can take up to two days (or more) to get a really good infusion. Citrus fruits tend to take longer to infuse than berries.
It's a good idea to add water to it each time you pour yourself a glass. Two reasons: first, the newly added water will mix with the already-infused water and will take less time to become flavored. If you wait until the pitcher's mostly empty, it'll take a while to get a good infusion. Second, a smaller amount of "new" water will take less time to chill than if you were to add a whole bunch of new water.
And here's a hint: If you make your own lemonade (from scratch), try using orange-infused water to your lemon juice instead of plain, unflavored water. It adds a wonderful touch of "something" that you can't put your finger on (you KNOW there's something else in the lemonade, but you just can't figure out WHAT).
And, lastly, a suggestion: don't wait for berries to come into season! Just use frozen ones (strawberries, raspberries, mixed berries, etc.) Because they've been frozen, they tend to infuse better than fresh ones. I recently used half a package of frozen raspberries. As they thawed they immediately began to turn the water red and by the time they were completely thawed, I had a lovely shade of red raspberry water. Being a "sweetaholic", I add a packet of stevia (AKA Truvia, but I prefer the Whole Foods brand of stevia) to my raspberry water and it tastes like a healthier version of raspberry Kool-Aid!

Takeya Fruit Infusion Jug, White/Raspberry, 66-Ounce Review

Takeya Fruit Infusion Jug, White/Raspberry, 66-Ounce

(More customer reviews)
While this pitcher is artistically pleasing, graceful and elegant, it is quite unfunctional. Contrary to the description, it does NOT fit in a refrigerator door (unless you have a giant commercial fridge!) It is much too tall to fit in a door rack or on a shelf, which means you can only use it lying flat - not a very good option because it takes up too much shelf space and is a spill hazard unless the lid is VERY firmly in place. I only chose this one because it is made from the "Safe" plastic, and was supposed to fit in the door. Also, it does not have a separate comatiner for your chopped fruits & veggies, so it really isn't an infusion pitcher like many others on the market. I'm disappointed in it, and would not recommend it for the purpose advertised.
