Saratoga Farms 5-Gallon Stackable Water Containers vs Scepter 5 Gallon Military Style Water Container

Buy the Saratoga Farms kit if you want a complete home emergency water setup: four stackable 5-gallon containers, spigots, a cap wrench and a preserver that keeps stored water fresh for years. Buy the Scepter if you need one rugged jug to carry to a campsite or fill at a tap, since its molded-in handle and military-style build survive rough handling. The Saratoga set wins on capacity and storage convenience; the Scepter wins on portability and durability per container. Owners rate the Scepter slightly higher, but on far fewer ratings.

• Choose the Saratoga Farms kit if you are stocking a pantry or garage for a household emergency and want 20 gallons with spigots and a preserver included.
• Choose the Scepter if you need a single tough jug with a strong handle for camping, hiking or hauling water short distances.
