Well made and great customer service

I ordered this to transport grain and supplements for my horse on a weekend trip. Also to use as a portable water bucket for cleaning tack, etc. The bucket arrived promptly and seems very well made. It suited my purpose well and I was pleased that the lid fit more securely than I anticipated based on previous reviews. It fit snugly enough that I was able to transport the grain in the back of the truck without worrying that the lid would come off in transit.

Pros
  • Nice for picking berries
Cons
  • Lid may not fit securely

Collapses easily -- too easily?

Used 16L to haul water for remote camping site. Loved the lid and handles. Seems to be very well made with thick material. Although the lid does not eliminate splashing out, it helps a great deal. The handles are very comfortable and don't dig into my hands even when full. The lid kept bugs and leaves out of the water. Super convenient how small it packs up. In order to hold water for the day, needs to be on a very flat surface and do not disturb it at all -- otherwise one side or the other…

Pros
  • Very happy. Holds sides sturdy even when near full. Far better than competitors.
Cons
  • Difficult to clean due to collapsible nature

Pretty Cool: my feedback

It's a nice bucket, but light weight and thin. I haven't used it yet and won't until June on vacation. I think it will be fine for my needs, such as dishes and clean up while on our 2,000 mile motorcycle camping and fishing trip. I warmed it very slightly to get it folded very thin. If I were thinking I would use a folding bucket hard and daily I would probably go with a canvas one, but for light occasional use, this one should be fine. I do like that it is so light weight for packing on the…

Pros
  • Great addition to the RV for lots of functions, from gathering water to collecting mussels on the rocks!
Cons
  • May not be large enough for certain uses

The size is fine and the rigidity is good too

The size is fine and the rigidity is good too. The lid stays on fairly well. My main issue is with the smell. It's awful.like melted plastic. We put water in it and used it later for brushing our teeth. It tasted so gross and the taste wouldn't go away. everyone hated the taste. If you want to use it to hold water, for various reasons, like camp showers or dishes, it's perfectly fine, but just don't use it for drinking or drinks because the smell/ taste is really bad. I will continue using it…

Pros
  • Suitable for gardening and farming
Cons
  • May not be resistant to chemicals and abrasives

Great for travel on my review.

Great for a beach trip as it’s packable. I actually used it for fishing and crabbing. Solid product and very tough! The lid doesn’t stay on well, and the bucket is much more flimsy than the photos make it appear..

Pros
  • This bucket is sturdy and convenient. What a change from an average bucket. 👏
Cons
  • The lid doesn’t stay on well, and the bucket is much more flimsy than the photos make it appear.

Very handy.good quality !

This product seems to be well made.although I haven't put it to the test as of yet, it does have a strong order,I left sit outopen for a couple of days.it would also have been nice to have the top zippers to the bottom to keep it collapsed when not in use. All in all I'm happy with the product !

Pros
  • Suitable for RVing and traveling
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in certain water sources

It's a bucket, that folds up

Toting water? Check.Toting tools? Check.Does what a bucket does, except it takes up almost no space when it's not used, unlike a bucket.

Pros
  • The bucket is easy to assemble and use in a hurry
Cons
  • May require excessive assembly

Great for travel: my feedback

Great for a beach trip as it’s packable. Thanks for attention. I actually used it for fishing and crabbing. Solid product and very tough!

Pros
  • This bucket is sturdy and convenient. What a change from an average bucket. 👏
Cons
  • The lid doesn’t stay on well, and the bucket is much more flimsy than the photos make it appear.

Bought this for a canoe trip to the Boundary Waters and it worked like a charm. Was flat and light to carry along and was useful for toting things around the campsite, filling with water from the middle of a lake (for later filtration) and doing the washing up. As you can see in the photo, the container remained upright even when nearly filled. The mesh bag was handy for storing parts of our filtration system. The lid fits tightly and keeps the contents clean. We would highly recommend this…

Pros
  • Can be used to wash your car or motorbike
Cons
  • May require excessive force to open and close lid

Exactly what they say

Awesome bucket, what more can I say it’s a foldable bucket that stands up on its own when filled with water. I use mine as a minnow bucket for fishing and clip a bubbler on the side no issue with the extra weight on the side.

Pros
  • The lid helps to keep the water clean and safe
Cons
  • May not hold up well in strong winds

Great bucket! in my review

I was so happy using this bucket during our recent camping trip. Carrying a 5 gallon bucket is too heavy for me, but this held the right amount of water, it was easy to carry when full of water. With the lid on, bugs didn't fly into the water. It was easy to pour into the camp sink.

Pros
  • Comes with a satisfaction guarantee for peace of mind
Cons
  • May be prone to cracks and leaks over time

Great collapsible bucket.

I really like my new camping collapsible bucket. I washed it up and it seems well made, light weight and strong. It’s a good size and will fit well in my kayak to go kayak camping. I’d give it 5 stars if the lid and bucket attached somehow. I’ll probably put it in a mess bag to hold them together. Otherwise it’s great.

Pros
  • Can be used as a foot bath or for soaking your feet after a long hike
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in hot climates

Good purchase on my review.

I chose this over other similar ones because this has extra feature. On the bottom there is a hook to place a finger and put other hand on the rim then it's easier to pour out the water. I bought 16L one for camping recently. Ideal size, the material is strong, thick, and sturdy. I collected water from water station and used it for preparing food, washing, etc. Must have for my future camping trips.

Pros
  • ✅ REMOVABLE MESH POCKET AND LID INCLUDED: Use the removable mesh bag for your fishing equipment, gardening tools, cutleries or anything you need to bring together with your foldable bucket. A lid and durable handles are also included for easier pouring.
Cons
  • May require additional support to stay upright

Really love our newest store-all bucket!

Great little collapsible and compact carrier for anything that fits inside and keeps wet items away from anything dry. We bought this sturdy well made product to keep in a small corner of our car or RV storage area. We don’t leave without it. This bucket can also be used as a portable cooler with ice and drinks. Good seller, nice product!

Pros
  • Lightweight and easy to carry around
Cons
  • May not fit into standard camping or hiking gear

Compact and does the job

I was a bit terrified to fill this and trust the handles would stay attached as I carried it back to our camp from a faucet, however it worked great. It was surely more weight than I wanted to carry, but the handles stayed on (I put the lid on to avoid splash as I walked). There is a vinyl smell to it - so nothing you want to drink from, however it is great for transporting bath water. Once done a night upside down and it was dry on the inside and ready for storage - love that it takes up so…

Pros
  • The material is non-toxic and safe for carrying water
Cons
  • May not be suitable for large-scale watering tasks

Great Option for Compact Traveling for Water

It arrived on time and in perfect shape. The product material inside is like a pool lining and is thick. However, It doesn't have problems collapsing and is flexible. There also a small attachable side net for shampoo and shops to be held in. I haven't tested how great it is at hold the water, but I have a good feeling. I'm going to be using my for military training during the next four weeks of JRTC so I will up this review after I get back and see how it held up.Edit: 11/17/2018 It held up…

Pros
  • Great collapsible bucket. Great for camping.Toting water. Washing dishes, Showers.
Cons
  • May not withstand extreme temperatures

Advertising is confusing

The bucket is nice, wish it was larger. My intended use is fishing. I believe the ad photos Are a bit misleading (I'm sure not intentionally) and could be improved, it showed a blue bucket beside the yellow one.somehow I got the impression the customer would receive both. I didn't think the supporting copy was clear about this. I'm also sure it's not the easiest job to illustrate a collapseable bucket, maybe leave out the blue bucket and that will eliminate confusion.

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoors
Cons
  • Not suitable for use with hot liquids

I bought these to use for washing up mess kits on Boy Scout campouts. The size looks great & of course they take up less room than the basi

Pros
  • Made with high-quality materials to last long
Cons
  • May be too heavy to carry long distances

Popcorn holder for us

We think we will really like this.we purchased it to take popcorn to the movies. It doesn't fit in our tiny backpack but we can use something else. I was afraid when I took it out of the package that it would have a terrible plastic rubber smell but was so pleasantly surprised that it had no smell at all. The lid doesn't fit very snugly but that doesn't really matter to us. We just don't want to make a lot of rattling noise with plastic bags and such. Such dirty looks from the other movie goers

Pros
  • The lid keeps bugs and insects away from the water
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use with certain types of plants

I gave this as a gift to a college freshman to store laundry and cleaning supplies. The ability to collapse the bucket when it's not in use is golden compared to the usual 5 gallon white bucket. Clean up is easy if something happens to spill inside and carrying it around full of supplies is certainly easy to do.

Pros
  • Can be used for washing dishes and clothes
Cons
  • May not be able to withstand rough terrain
