[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought 4 of these pails when i bought a used trailer and needed something i could go from room to room with to clean. Love the handle, easy to take from one place to another, also used it to mop, hold cleaning items, even used it when i had a pipe that was leaking. After 2 years of use they are like new.
I purchased 3 10 quart spout pails to carry water. After I used them for a little while the handles broke off 2 of them. Neither time was the pail filled to capacity. Today when the second one broke the water splashed on my slacks and then on my sleeping dog who got hit by pail and the the water (that wasn't already on me). I am so not impressed with the quality of this product,
I have had my spout pail for years (it's blue, I don't think it even comes in that color anymore). I use my for cleaning but mostly for a mop bucket. I have other buckets/pails and the handles break and make them useless. I like the fact that the handle is sturdy, it has the hand grip on the bottom for easy pouring. Every time I go to the store I start to buy a new one (just for a color change) but then say to myself "there is nothing wrong with the one you have". If you want to save money then this pail is for you... cause it will last a lifetime (if you take care of it).
I have had this bucket for about a year and have mainly used it to carry water. It is a convenient size, comfortable to handle and pours nicely. I often noticed a small amount of water under the bucket but just dismissed it as over splash; recently the puddles seemed to be getting larger and larger and upon closer examination I saw what appeared to be a faint crack in the bottom; I pressed on the crack and the bottom split open; the bucket is now worthless. The bucket has only had light use so it apparently was defective. I expect the products I buy to last as I treat them respectfully, so, this was a disappointment.
I have two of these buckets that I use on my stairs. Each child has one to put their belongings in. The buckets are a good size to hold enough stuff without being too heavy, and they are easy for the kids to carry upstairs when it's time to put their things away.
I have used this bucket for clearning my fish tankl, moping the floor, holding water balloons, watering plants, general household cleaning and other things. It has stood up to many cleanings and is very durable with my kids. It is sturdy and strong and has been dependable. I've had it for years! Love it!
