This states it won't leech into food/drink. I received mine today and there is a bunch of glue/caulk gooped into the bottom of it. Will that leech?

I use mine to fill with ice and put canned or bottled drinks. If you do that nothing can leak into them. I don't think anyone would put liquid directly into it.

U should be able to clean that out then use soap and water to clean it with aftetwards

No, It has sticky glue that becomes liquid with water. It would come off in the dishwasher.

If you store food in it it will stay put. If you don't store food in it you could fill it with sandbox sand or some rocks. I love this product. Remember to remove the water bowl when you fill it and wipe out where the bowl goes. You should clean out your pet bowls every day. Some people complained about a smell. I have never had a problem and I have owned my first one for 10 years. It is still going strong.

I have read some, not all reviews share the same issue. For me the inserts did not freeze, and whatever color the liquid was, colored the lining/insides and the drink tasted weird..... The company replaced mine, and they work great.

The shaker and everything will handle it just fine, however the spout is a little small for large chunks of cheese, so it would likely get clogged if you don't break it down small enough, although it has not happened to me yet!

Don't know. Happened to me, too, and I tossed it. I prefer Contiguo now. Doesn't leak, top is dishwasher safe (bottom, too) and it lasts a long time.

The only potential point for food to contact the top red motor unit is a 5/8" hole in the top center of the clear plastic lid where the shaft of the blade unit passes through. I have not found food getting onto the bottom of the motor unit to be a problem, but could be wiped with a damp cloth. Everything else is submersible/dish washer cleanable.

You nailed it - hollow, and yes water and deity knows what else can get trapped in there. However, it is dishwasher safe, fairly easy to shake water out, and not that big a deal. Less than perfect, but for the price I think totally worth it.Edit - 3 people gave another answer as of the day I responded - no IDEA what is going on there. Not sure what they mean by solid - but imagine the weight of metal if it was a block of metal vs. a "shell" of metal (like mine is). Maybe I got the cheap one but I doubt it. Would love to hear how my answer is wrong, but hey - internet.

I would assume so. I don't use a drink fountain. But the water in the bowl stays clean and causes no build up on the sides or bottom. I am very conservative so I put it in the large bowl and just keep refilling to the top each day for three days, then wash the bowl and start over.

I might add that my husband had a drink in his mug the other day and the bottom of the mug fell out spilling not on the liquid in the mug but all the sticky gell all over our carpet. NOT GOOD.

I have not had any problems with mine... Sometimes if you do not line up the bottom right when you screw them on they will leak (just like anything with a screw cap). What I noticed is that water can get stuck in the bottom (Between the white "ring" and the bottle plastic) and it seems like the bottle is leaking but its not.

It may seep through the seems, it is a fairly firm plastic. Cleanup may be the biggest problem since the cut-outs are fragile. I have cleaned it only with a soft spray of water.

If it is thicker than water, you will need to take out the strainer that comes with the bottle. If the drink is like a smoothie and you can get it into the bottle, then it should be fine so long as the it isn't too thick. Worst scenario, just use a straw like you would with a smoothie!

I would say No... it is an industrial water sealant with some seriously toxic compounds in it. Once hardened it may still be able to leech into your liquids within the mug. I'd hold off on that and buy some used mugs for much cheaper at Value Village or something

No need to worry - there may be a droplet of water or two left, but nothing to bother with. You can always dodge water when you're messing with butter ;)

We've had no problem like that. From the way it's build, it looks like bees and wasps can't get at the liquid. But I haven't seen any try, so...

Didn't have that problem but had a major problem with the water spilling outside the waterfall. Discovered I had to line up all the spouts and covers perfectly. Once I started being careful about this, it's been working like a charm and the cats love it! I read one person complain that he had to refill it more often than his last bowl, but I honestly believe that's because his cats are drinking a lot more each day. I would say if you line everything up and the water doesn't circulate, there is a problem and you should exchange it. Good luck!
