I bought this 7 months ago, and it was great. 2 days ago I got a disappointing lesson that you cannot let a 40 lb bag drop into the container. You have to completely lower it in, or the bottom of the container will break off, unable to take a direct drop.

It had performed so well otherwise, that it hadn't crossed my mind that could occur. I had been working very long hours and was too exhausted to use my physical strength to gently lower in the new bag and I just let it drop and was surprised to hear a big crack as the bottom broke.

Next time I am that tired, I will wait until I am rested enough to gently lower the bag, because after all it is only plastic. For the price, it can't be beat.

I went ahead and ordered a replacement because it works great otherwise, keeping the food fresh and making it very easy to cart around a 40lb bag. It has held up great all that time until I thoughtlessly just dropped a 40lb bag into it. I wish it came with a hardier bottom, but then again, it wouldn't cost as cheaply if it did. So be warned: the bottom breaks off if you let a heavy bag of kibble fall into it, and so you must take care lowering the bag in.

This product was exactly what i needed! It easily holds a 30 lb bag of food and keeps it air tight and fresh. I have two of these containers because my two dogs eat different food - both are small so those 30 lb bags last a long time and I really needed something to keep their food fresh!!! It's lid flips straight up so you have plenty of room to scoop.

This is a great storage container. The wheels is what makes the diffrence on this product. You are able to move up to 55 pounds with the littlest effort. Highly recommended!

This did not keep ants out. I had to throw out thirty pounds of expensive dog food.

I purchased two of these containers for holding dog food. I had the same problem with both units. The plastic around the casters broke, causing them to fall off. I won't be buying any more like this.

This is a great product. I now own 3. One holds 50 lbs of black oil sun flower seed and one holds 50 lbs of dry dog food and the last 50 lbs of millet. Even loaded it move easily on my cement floor.

I spent months searching for a food container to store my dog's food in. I could not find a container that fit all of my criteria. I decided to order this product from Amazon and see if it worked for me. So far, so good! I am very pleased with the item that arrived and here's why:

- You can see the food through the container. At a glance I know how much food my dog has and when it's time to refill.

- It holds a little over 30 lbs. of kibble. (I believe the last bag I bought was 33 lbs. and it fit perfectly).

- Despite holding over 30 lbs. of kibble it takes up little space, which is important to me as I have a tiny kitchen.

- The wheels on the bottom of the container make moving the container (even when full) around my house a breeze. Now I can scoot the container out of the way to clean.

- The wide opening at the top of the container made mixing kibbles while switching brands of kibble easier.

- Reasonably priced. In my experience, it is often cheaper than the food containers you can find in pet stores.

- This container has done a fantastic job of keeping insects like ants out of the kibble. After losing $60 worth of kibble to an ant invasion, I REALLY appreciate this!

- In addition to holding 33 lbs. of kibble, this container has no problem holding a 9 lb. snoozing cat atop the lid.

The one downside I've found is that larger bags of kibble may not fit in the container **while still in the bag** due to the shape of the container. The big bags of kibble will get stuck a few inches from the bottom. If the bag is new and full the container may not close. So if you're planning on buying a 30+ lb. bag of kibble and you don't want to toss the bag, you might want to go a size up in containers. Otherwise, dump the kibble into the container and ditch the bag. (If you're worried about keeping track of when the food expires, try copying the expiration date from the bag onto a sticker. Put the sticker on the outside of the container.)

I was a little iffy about buying it because of the other reviews but after having it for a while, its been a great buy. It fits all the kibble we buy for our pup and the wheels make it easy to store in the kitchen or move it to the storage room. I don't smell anything until I open it so the seal is great and the clip to open and close it is easy to use. Overall Im happy with it.

Holds about 16 lbs. of any kind of food or seed. Different colored lids show what kind is in which container. Just right.

This is a pretty straight forward item. I use it to store dogfood. I had one similar but bigger & with wheels. I wanted to downsize the container and this was just right. It shuts tight to keep the contents fresh. It slides right under the bottom shelf of my pantry and being slim, leaves a lot of room for other items to be stored. If you're looking for a storage cotainer that is well made and this is the size you want - you can't go wrong.
