This 28 QT airtight pet food container is praised for its perfect fit, ease of mobility, and ability to keep pet food fresh. Customers appreciate its convenient storage, good quality, and tapered shape for easy scooping. However, some concerns were raised about the lid falling off and the wheels not being durable.

"Helps me roll the big bags of cat and dog food out of the closet. Helps to place a scoop in the bag to get it into the smaller container I use everyday. Not sure how airtight it really is, but I also clip the bag closed. I haven’t dumped the food in the bin without the bag because the lid doesn’t seem that tight."
"I'm really happy with this 28 qt container. It fits a 15 lb bag of catfood and the 1/4 bag or so I had left out of the previous bag with the scooper on top perfectly. There is a little room to spare. I'm happy that it's narrow and I can turn it to the side so it doesn't stick out from the wall very far with our limited storage space. Would purchase again."
"I've been cutting back my old boy's rations as he's getting a bit sausage-shaped. I had a food bin with a non-locking lid and he started knocking it over to get inside. This worked to keep him out for a week but he was so determined that he was able to work the lid off and help himself. So now it lives in the coat closet, which is great, because the locking lid holds in the dog food scent. I knocked off a star because I had to return the first one I ordered. The latch was broken or came out of the mold wrong; it was missing the little tabs needed to hold it onto the bin. Replacement is fine."
"I bought this particular bin BECAUSE the description said it was airtight. I store my dog food in my kitchen pantry. Occasionally when it’s really hot out I get ants. It has been very hot. Well, ants got onto the bin which was properly closed up. I had to throw it away."
"I buy my cat food in 22lb. bags and this is the perfect solution for its storage. The wheels are multi directional and it moves around smoothly, the top is easily released when the front tab it pushed, and it is airtight. At this time of year, tiny ants find their way into my kitchen and I do not have to be concerned with them getting into the kitty food."
"I bought this to keep my dog's food in at work. I used to have the whole 15 lb food bag open on the floor and the smell was getting to me. This is awesome, and it has wheels so it is easy to keep under the table in my office and pull out whenever I feed her."
"These work great for storing Traeger wood pellets. They’re airtight and hold a full 20-pound bag plus more. Ordering another one right now to hold Traeger Signature pellets. . I label each container according to pellet flavor."

"I have 2 cats and buy the large bags of cat food from the warehouse clubs so I needed a sealed container to hold it and prevent ants from getting into it. This container fits my needs perfectly as it will hold the contents of a 20lb bag of food with an airtight seal. It's an excellent container to securely store your pet food."
"Have had this container for about 2 weeks & am very happy with it keeping the food fresh. Do as the others have suggested & keep the pet food in the original bag - that way the interior stays clean & no accumulation of oils in container. I did feel the container was a bit pricey so I just ordered one when I really need 2 more. I remembered seeing pet food containers at the Wal Martians & thinking they were about sixteen dollars. Went back there & looked at their pet containers, they had a different brand, one with a blue lid & compared to IRIS brand, theirs had a flimsy lid & several reviews said the lid was not air tight. That was enough for me to come back to IRIS & put in an order for another IRIS container. I intend to purchase another one in the coming weeks. Upon arrival of my IRIS, I was totally disappointed because I did not think an 18 pound bag of food would fit in there. Well, it was a tight squeeze since I just left the food in the bag & stuffed it in there. But the lid snapped easily & it has been on the back porch where ants are abundant, but so far no ants or other critters have been seen in the container. Another thing, they are compact & don't take up much room - taller & slim, rather than being wide & short. Update on the Iris containers - It has been a couple of months & I now have 3 of these containers, one for cat food, one for dog food & one for bird seed. The containers are still air tight & no bugs or staleness of stored product has occured. I believe they come in different sizes for larger bags for whatever you are wanting to store. Don't settle for second best at the Wal Martians, you will be disappointed."
