RubbermaidCommercial 1857378 Executive Series Pail, 5-quart, Black

In this time of extreme drought in the West we use two of these well made buckets in our shower to catch the cold water before it warms up. The buckets are the perfect size and shape for our bathtub. It’s curved on one side and fits the curve of the tub, the other side is straight. We use the saved water for flushing the toilet or watering plants. A rough estimate of our saving is 4 gallons/day, 120 gallons/month is 1440 gallons/year. Every Little Bit Helps

Wow-how I love this sturdy, little bucket. I have a smaller home and don’t need a bunch of water to clean. I’ve been using a one gallon pitcher as a cleaning bucket around here for the last year since my old cleaning bucket kicked the bucket... Anyway, I was unsure about how much this bucket cost for it’s size (about the size of a gallon of milk) but when I got it, I was super happy with it’s sturdy construction and size. Most of the time the cleaning buckets I get always break at the handle area or crack when I kick them out of frustration. No way this is going to happen with this bucket. The handle is solidly in the bucket and the plastic is thiccck. Going to purchase another for the wood shop. Thumbs up!

I primarily got this to carry windshield deicer & scraper to my car after a snowstorm (& ice cleats if need them). Now I can carry my big snow broom in one hand and the pail in the other. And the black pail is easy to see in the snow, so I won't forget to pick up the deicer or scraper. For storage inside, it holds the deicer, scraper & 2 snow brushes (leaning against a wall). It's also handy for small chores or hand washing something small, and it fits in the kitchen sink easier than a full size bucket – so I got a second one.

It's a sturdy bucket that feels like it will last a lifetime. I "needed" the small one gallon size for various gardening and household chores. My husband rolled his eyes when I pulled it out of the Amazon box; the very next day he was like "bring me that new bucket you got", and has used it several times since. I'll probably get more of these in larger sizes and throw away some of the flimsy cracked ones laying around the garage.

just what I needed for my gardening and in the house. Like it so much I now have 3. I bought a different brand earlier and it fell apart quickly.
