5 X 10 LITRE PLASTIC BUCKETS WITH LIDS, HARD WEARING BUCKET METAL HANDLED

I thought these buckets looked pretty robust on arrival and having now use them to harvest and store honey I've been impressed. I fill them to about 1 1/2" below the top. With the lids on I'm able to carry and move them with no problems. With the lid off I'm able to raise the bucket to head height and pour the honey into a strainerr. Theres an odd lookiking lid locking mechanism on the side of the bucket that you push in tto get to the edge of the lid to open it. The mechanism doesn't break when you do this which means you can be reusing the same buckets for a long time. I'll be reusing these bucket for a few years and I'm actually going to order some more of these to standardise on.in my extraction room.

I am very pleased with the quality of these buckets for storing my bread making flour and other dry goods. They have a strong seal but are flexible enough not to crack on repeated opening and closing. They are a great price compared to buying other storage solutions and I was able to squeeze 7kg of flour into each bucket. I split a couple of 16kg sacks of flour between them as I was sharing the purchase with a friend so these enabled me to transport the flour without any mess. They will save me a lot of money as they are reusable and make buying in bulk much cheaper as opposed to buying smaller bags of flour etc.

One out of ten don't close air tight the seal is only 80% of the way round think probably caused by the packing bending the lid out of shape. Others are great and do what they should.

Great product highly recommend.

I brought these for wine making as my primary demijohns kept over flowing. These work really well. It was easy to drill a hole in the top for bungs and airlock. People have said the lids are tight and dont fit properly in my opinion they are tight and need to put some pressure around the edge to click in to place, so again in my opinion they have a perfect tight fit. Can not fault perfect for my needs and no more overflowing. I will buy again when I need more.

Would give these zero stars if I could. Bought these for honey extraction and the lids do not fit. Buckets themselves are okay but for storing stuff that needs lids, absolutely useless. They merely balance on top and do not seal. Push down one side and the other side pops up. And it’s not just me, several people tried. Lids and buckets supplied simply not compatible! Great fun trying to bring honey home in the boot of a car with lids that don’t do up 🙄.

Good buckets lids don’t fit well

These are ideal for a household bokashi composting set - the solution to less than frequent food waste collections and the need for speedy decomposition and plant food. The lids are a good, tight fit, the buckets double up perfectly leaving just over an inch of space at the bottom for draining, they come apart quite easily and the handles are fine for carrying a full bucket about, without risk. Exactly what I was hoping for. I made the draining holes in the bottom of two of them with a brad-awl very easily, and with no need for force or electric drills. The fifth bucket allows airtight storage of bokashi bran. The white plastic is bright, even a bit garish, but definitely best for seeing clearly how the compost is progressing.
