Not the same, but still good

I received a gray 18 gallon tote to try. I do love Sterilize brand. Although, I like their continuing upgrades, it's still not improved much. The latching ability is great, but it seems to have less space inside. The sides have indentation to them, which affects space inside. Personally I think these plastic housewares items are becoming less thick in material. I trust this tote to be great for storage, but I won't use it for really heavy items.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lids cracked before I finished packing!

I have used Sterilite bins for years, but I have been very unhappy with the last two sets I have bought. I am a teacher, and I have to box up all of my classroom library for summer cleaning and waxing. Therefore, I need sturdy storage. The last few totes I have bought have ended up with cracked lids due to just the normal packing and stacking process. The lids also bow and do not stay strong and firmly protect the contents of the bins more times than not. The bins seem to do okay, but the lids are failing regularly. I wish one could buy replacement lids of a better quality. I would even be willing to pay a bit more to have good lids. Right now, I am questioning whether to continue buying your bins for the household cleanout I have planned during our summer break.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cheap lids with no structure

I have many versions of these bins that I have purchased over 20 years. With each new version, the lid gets more flimsy and makes stacking very difficult. The bins don't hold their shape and the lids sag. My oldest ones are much higher quality.

Holiday Storage

We got 5 of these to store our Halloween decorations in. They are nice and sturdy and the handle area is pretty comfortable. They hold a decent amount of stuff in them. We only had a few big items that were too long to put inside. They stack nicely and have really made organizing our decorations much easier.

Why I Have Not Purchased More

I have about 20 of the 20 gallon bins from the late 90s to early 2000s. They are solid as a rock. Stored five high in the garage and not a dent or wrinkle in any of them. No cracks. Perfect to this day. They store mostly Christmas stuff, but some have miscellaneous things I want to keep. I needed a new one for some additional holiday things this year and went to buy my favorite brand--Sterilite. Never thought of other brands, as I don't like the soft plastic that breaks down and won't hold its shape. To my surprise, now Sterilite has become like the others. Flimsy, soft, not worth using except for light items that won't need much protection. So very disappointed. Now, I don't know what to buy, but I will keep looking. I was a strong advocate for Sterilite storage containers because they were quality. I'd rather pay a little more, not have the size shrunk, and definitely not have the soft plastic junk that seems to the new norm. Sad that companies don't understand that quality over time matters.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have several totes where the lids are damaged, where can lids by themselves be purchased?

This product is a great choice for organization.

I found my self for awhile now searching for items for different holidays by opening each box playing the game of what's in the next box. My wife is a big holiday fan, every holiday lots of decorations. As she was packing up Halloween items it was very handy to use the specified orange & black Halloween totes. Next year it will be so easy to grab specific totes & go. Now that Christmas approaches us & passes we will for sure use thee red & green totes for put away. Making the decoration part of the holidays so organized Is a less of a challenge & gives us more time to spend on the holiday season itself.
