Yes. The first thing that broke was the open /shut valve at the bottom, then the flimsy handle. On the plus side, I wasted way less than it's listed for there when I bought it at west marine.

I know a few guys that use the 30 gallon ones. Never had an issue. Just have to be careful. It does take a while to drain.
