These last a LONG time. Everytime mine wears out (years of use) I buy another one just like it. I may choose a different color, but always the same style dishpan. The Sterilite ones just don't hold up.

Today was the day I planned to replace my old one--just a plain dishpan without any handles on the ends--seemed like a simple project.

Well, my simple project for the day wasn't...there wasn't a Rubbermaid dishpan to be found at the local retailers I usually frequent. Walmart doesn't carry them anymore. I checked both our local Super Walmart Store and a second Walmart Store as well as two other stores. I never thought I would be reduced to buying a dishpan online and paying postage to get it to boot. However, I have tried the Sterilite dishpans before and I am not going there again.

I don't like to just put the plug in my kitchen sink when washing fine crystal and china by hand. Sinks are HARD and a little bump can cause damage to expensive items. The mats that fit on the bottom of the sink are not as much protection as a full dishpan. I much prefer to use a rubbermaid dishpan filled with suds for the job of washing my nice dinnerware and crystal to reduce any chance of chipping. This dishpan is a little more flexible than the Sterilite brand.

We use our dishpan in the kitchen in the traditional way, plus we put this style dishpan to a lot of other uses. It goes camping with us. It can withstand a trip to the garden to be filled with fresh produce. You can shuck corn into it, thaw a chicken or small frozen turkey breast in it (covered with water), soak your feet in it, use it as a baby bath or use it as an undersink container for cleaning supplies. (I recommend you keep a second one for the feet and bathing jobs.)

This dishpan is a nice "tool" to have in the kitchen or bathroom and should give years of service.

This is one of those plain old sturdy utilitarian products one used to find in every hardware store, and like most of them is now really hard to find anywhere. I've used mine daily as a dishpan or to wash delicates for around 10 years. Just this week the rim cracked, and I can't really blame it. The one before that was used to do things like changing my oil or washing my car. Like another reviewer I never thought I'd be buying a dishpan online, and I'm annoyed to pay more in shipping than the basin costs, but what choice do I have? It's worth it for the long life I can expect from it.

I bought 2 of these tubs for kitchen tasks. I looked VERY carefully at the product description to see if they contained "microban", because I do not want poisons on/near my food/plates/kitchen utensils.
The description doesn't say that these are treated, but THEY ARE!
Does anyone out there know where to get tubs like this that are not laced with unnessary chemicals?

I was glad to find this color since all I could find in the stores were white. This goes better with my stone sink and is a perfect fit. Rubbermaid makes very good products and this is not my first one from them.

I agree with a previous reviewer. I've had one of these for YEARS to wash delicates, soak feet, do my nails, etc. They used to be EVERYWHERE. I use my old one as a drawer and found myself regularly emptying it to use it all the time so finally I decided to get another one. I could not find this plain utilitarian tube anywhere! It was like they ceased to exist. After the last time I emptied it just to wash some delicates I searched on amazon and found this. Perfect, what else is there to say? Deep enough for whatever use you need it for (apparently it's for washing dishes) but small enough it's easily portable. You can use it for whatever you can think of. Sturdy and great.

This dishpan lives up to Rubbermaid's reputation. It's sturdy. I didn't buy it for dishes. But I'm positive the water won't leak out when I soak my feet in it. That's all I wanted. So, I'm well-satisfied. If I washed dishes, I'd definitely wash them in here. Grea value and fast ship!

Good product, nice quality, strongly manufactured. Medium size, fits almost all cabinets in my kitchen. Good for its purpose. No compaints!

Rubbermaid has always had great products, it's just that they are just a little hard to find. I was able to find them thru your site and the dish pan is working out great for us.

I've had one of these (in green) for ages. I can't quite nail it down, but it's got to be 25-30 years. It's been a faithful drain pan for motor oil changes and when I backed my motorcycle onto it, it cracked. I saw the number 2951 molded on the underside and wondered what would happen if I plugged "Rubbermaid 2951" into Google... OMG. There on the top, there it was, there on Amazon. In a few days, I had a new 2951 for a bit less than a Hamilton!

I'm going to clean up the green one and duct tape the crack. I'll bet it'll hold odds-and-ends parts for a few more decades. I just might add it to my will.

The dishpan is of good quality. And I would have given the product 5 stars (and maybe I should have) but I didn't realize that the pan is only 5 1/2 inches deep. It's my fault for not reading the dimensions, but I thought I'd alert anyone who needs a deeper pan that this one isn't for you.
