Does this need to be full to use it? Will it work if it is half-full?

I bought multiple straps, and when the carrier was not full, I made sure that I tightened the straps to minimize the redundant fabric. This kept it from flapping while I was going down the road.

Yes it would work, it has straps to fasten it down. Very nice we really liked it. Zips shut

Yes. Even when it is full if you push the sides down water will spill out. But, that is why I like it. When I want to empty it I just push a side down and it empties.

Mine works like a dream. Have filled it to the max with no problem, but mostly just to the minimum. Yours must be defective.

The unit is not designed to stop filtering when the bottom container is full. It will run over if you over fill it.

Not 100 percent sure but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get full capacity

It worked for my wife. when it is full its fine it shrinks when you or others : ) drink from it.

Yes, on a full tank, no problem! It will turn on way before it gets empty, to replenish the air used. :)

My husband had no problems with it and that was the only way he used it. He is very skinny, so that might make a difference! The directions clearly state that it shouldn't be filled past a certain level or the spill-proof feature can be negated. However, it has a large capacity.

The instructions that come with it say to charge it first. I'm sure it may have some charge when it arrives, but probably not full.

I noticed that mine won't work if its low on water, so make sure it has the recommended amount. It seems after an hour of use it needs refilling.

Basically, yes. There is a red light on the front that lets you know when it's full. It does not work until you empty the ice bin.

My top closes just fine. If you have it too full then maybe it wouldn't. Maybe you have a defective one. Make sure it's not overflowing and then maybe take it back if it's still not working properly.

I have used it with half the cups full-doesn't seem to have made a difference or caused any damage to mine.

I am almost totally handicapped and I can do it with one hand if it isn't full. I empty when half full. Hope this helps

The design prevents it from tipping. Mine is full and I've never had an issue. Would be difficult to tip it over, actually.

We have had ours for about a month and it is still at least 3/4 full. Six people using it. Home use.

As long as it's on the ground. The design is faulty-the feed does not self-feed well. I have to push it down from the reserve section, even when it is full.
