Very happy, June 12, 2021By: Rick Baker, June 12, 2021 so far so good!, December 13, 2020By: Alex, December 13, 2020Nice durable quality product , so far so good! I would recommend filling it with water letting it sit for a few days emptying it out and doing this two or three times. Noticed a mild plastic smell coming out of water that came out of first fill up.
