Cal-Mil 1112-3 3 Gallon Square Beverage Dispenser with Ice Chamber

We purchased two of these. The design is beautiful. My initial reaction was oh no, when the ice melts it's going to leak out of the ice core and dilute the beverage, because the ice core literally just sits inside the dispenser. So we tested them by pouring water in the ice core and a different amount of water in the beverage container. I was absolutely shocked that the water in the ice core maintained it's level. What a wonderfully engineered design. We are a wedding venue and can't wait to use them. They are perfect!

We were so disappointed with these. We purchased two and they arrived extremely well packed; however, one has a glass lid and one has an acrylic lid although we ordered two of the exact same thing. The bigger problem was that the ice core in both units would not 'lock in' so we had lemonade and orange juice with ice cores bobbing back and forth in both. We tried absolutely everything but it would not work. We are incredibly disappointed especially given the price :(
