Review on 3 Liter Double-Wall Stainless Steel Ice Bucket with Lid and Ice Tong - Modern Bamboo Lid with Built-in Tongs - Comfortable Carry Handle - Ideal for Home Bar, Beer and Champagne Chilling by Shelley Nims

If you're looking for a bucket that can store ice and keep it cold for a while, I'd look elsewhere. Ice can stay in this thing for a maximum of 10 minutes without melting 3/4 of its size, and that's at room temperature. If you're using this to chill beverage ice and it's a hot summer day, leaving it in the sun for more than 5 minutes can actually be counterproductive. It has virtually no insulating properties, if the company that makes them had invested some money to put foam between the walls of this bucket it would be the best buy in its category but it's just air between the walls. bucket walls.
