These containers are a great
"These containers are a great size for our dog food (holds a 55 lb. bag). After receiving the first one we were impressed enough to order a second one. Our dog is fed a mixture of two dry foods. The lids seal well and the latching lid holds everything nice and secure. We keep our dog food in the garage and have not had any pest/insect issues since getting these storage containers. I didn't think we would use the casters, but when the containers arrived I went ahead and put them on. They are great. They allow for easy moving of the containers (even when full to the top with 55 lbs. of dog food. This is a great quality product. I am very happy with the purchase."

Huge capacity (fits a full
"Huge capacity (fits a full 40-50lb bag of food easily). The wheels are a nice touch, and it seals well enough that the ants don't get it. My only complaint is that the hinges aren't fixed on very well, and during standard opening and closing the lid can sometimes come off."

These are great for what
"These are great for what I needed, pet food storage, but the only complaint I have is that the wheels aren't secured when placed on the bottom. Each caster has a peg that just fits into a hole on the bottom. This is fine if you never have to lift the container, but any time you lift it the wheels fall out because they're not attached in any way, just a post in a hole. A little blob of hot glue should solve the problem, but seems like it would be pretty easy from the manufacturing side to just have a little tab on the outside of the peg, or "bumps" on the inside of the hole to prevent the wheels from falling off any time the container isn't flat on the ground. Overall, a great, cost-effective purchase with a single minor flaw."

I use this to hold
"I use this to hold a 50 lb. bag of dog food and there's room to spare to lay a bag of cat food on top. I keep it in my garage and haven't had any mice or bug issues. I love the hinged lid with the flap to hold it shut and the fact that it's BPA free. The wheels make it easy to move where ever I want it in my garage. I'm considering getting a couple more for bird seed."

This has been perfect for
"This has been perfect for holding our dogs food!!! We had been storing it in a 39 gal trash bin, but this summer, mice got in to it. I ordered this container because it is lifted off of the ground by the wheels, can be rolled around easily and can be sealed air tight. It does say that it can hold 55+ lbs of dog food, but I’m not sure that would be true. I’ve put in 40lbs and it’s about been over flowing."

Product is as described, no
"Product is as described, no issues. I was just surprised at how large it is. I did know how many lbs of food it holds, but it is taller than I expected, which isn't a problem, but if I was to order again, I probably would get the next smaller size. I have never had this container more than half full of dog food."

Nice big product but lid doesn’t snap shut.
"I really like this product. But the lid does not snap shut and seal like I feel it should. Otherwise, the capacity is great, casters are great, and fits a large bag of dog food."

I've used these IRIS containers
"I've used these IRIS containers for years for storing large bags of dog food and cat food. They keep it fresh while keeping the pets from helping themselves lol. These containers are sturdy and roll easily, even when full. Recently we bought a rice cooker and started buying Korean rice in bulk from the Asian market. This large container is perfect for storing the rice, I just place the entire bag of rice into the container and there is plenty of room for other rice-making essentials to conveniently store with it, such as our rice colander (important to rinse the rice) and a Pyrex measuring cup. BTW I got all of these items on IRIS and highly recommend for restaurant-quality rice: Zoshirushi NS-TSC10 Rice Cooker: http://www.IRIS.***/gp/product/B0074CDG6C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , and the perfect colander to rinse rice: Inomata Japanese Rice Washing Bowl http://www.IRIS.***/gp/product/B004QZAAS2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"

This was just the right
"This was just the right size I was looking for to store hay for my rabbit. Was not too big or small. So it doesn’t take up too much space to store. The lid closes tightly to keep the hay fresh. I got the darker storage to keep the hay away from too much light but I am still able to see through the container to see the level of hay at glance."

I've posted pictures here comparing
"I've posted pictures here comparing the 67 to the 69 quart version. Both purchased on IRIS. The specs between the two are not that different. 14. 7 x 17. 9 x 23. 8 inch; 69 quart container14. 8 x 19. 3 x 20. 7 inches; 67-quart capacityThe 67 is a little more "rigid" due to the way the forming was done. The wheels on both units are the weakest point. I've broken them off by letting them drop to the floor a few inches. I was able to duct tape the wheel back on, but it's not a pretty sight. As others have noted: Be careful when rolling or dropping these when loaded. On several of the units we don't use the wheels, so it's obviously not an issue. At this point in time, the 69 quart unit is several dollars less than the 67, on IRIS."
