Fits a whole cabbage, lots of carrots and radishes and ginger and other good stuff all at once.
If overfilled then it gets a little bit tough to get the weights fitted inside. I'm thinking about cutting the weights in half, to have four pieces that are easier to insert. From the factory, if the weights came in three rather than two pieces insertion would be improved. The water seal is very generous, allowing about a week's worth of water evaporation before needing more water, and has enough room in the water groove for water to bulge up from pressure inside without spilling out onto a shelf or countertop. Large opening makes it easy to get ferment out of the crock. It's thick and strong enough to last a lifetime. I have only one strong dislike: the handles slope awkwardly underneath, making for a poor grip, especially if there is moisture on them or on the hands. Because three gallons of ferment and the stoneware add up to a heavy lift, the handles should offer a more secure grip.

Solid Crock
The size is perfect for a small to medium batch of kraut. It is heavyweight and has a durable build. Functions as it should. Good value for the money.

Excellent fermentation crock!
Heavy-duty crock perfect for any size batch. Great for pickling, or fermenting whatever veggies you'd like.

Almost great.
Two things keep it from being great. The included self adhesive feet are mandatory. There is a foot or nipple in the center bottom that protrudes more than the rim. If you don't put on the self adhesive feet it wobbles on the center. If you use it without them you stand a good chance to break the crock. The second thing is that the weights are difficult to put in when the crock is loaded. The mouth of the water lock is smaller than the inside. The weights are a tight fit to the inside, and are bigger than the mouth. That means you have to tilt them to get them in. They hit the contents, and you end up pushing it into them to get them in. Everything else works great. I plan to split the weights so they are quarters rather than halves to make it easier to use.

VERY Large
Great Jar, waaaay too big for my uses. Kraut dried up too fast.

Economical for a first attempt at kimchi
It is an attractive fermentation jar, no doubt there. However, the two weights to keep the food below the fluid level barely fit into the mouth of the jar; and then, unfortunately, are very barely heavy enough to work. I had to adapt and put a couple rocks in. Nonetheless it is an attractive jar and so far, my kimchi seems to be coming along nicely.
