Review on ๐Ÿšซ 14 Gallon Capacity Rubbermaid Commercial FG9S3000WHT by Pamela Begay

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great bag, but can we find a better shipping method? UPDATED

UPDATE 10/18/2015 at 8:08 am After a few months of use I have found that these sides can and will break when filled with heavy objects. For example, I have large baskets filled with paper in different ways (two full packs, blank notepads, notepads); Computer equipment and electronics (small hard drives, wires and cables, etc.) and stationery. I stacked three on top of each other and loaded them onto a handcart. Walking down the stairs with handcart bags (slight jerking), I found that one of the baskets on the side had cracked. This happened on two separate occasions. Lids can also break when containers are full and stacked more than three high. They remain a good product and are generally better than the consumer bags that Rubbermaid sells. And they're likely to hold up without cracking when placed on shelves and stacked on shelves in less than 2 pieces or individually. But it's very disappointing that they don't fold up as expected for long-term storage, as the BRUTE label suggests, and can't be transported on a handcart without the possibility of being hacked, which the BRUTE label does as well implies. I downgraded my original class. 5 Star to 4 Star Rating ORIGINAL RATING These plastic bags are MUCH stronger than the consumer version sold in most retail stores. They fold very well (even when a bit full), withstand orders, and even hold labels and stickers well, making it easy to identify the contents without having to open the lid. If you use this type of plastic bag, I think it's worth the extra cost. My only complaint is that Revain ships them in those huge boxes, making the bag the only thing in the box. Because they're harder to buy at retail than consumer bags, shoppers should be aware that if you buy them in bulk, your pickup location will be filled with giant boxes. Not the best view for a homestead.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • So so
