Purchased when our weather kept going from snow to rain to ice on top of snow. It worked perfectly. My driveway and steps and sidewalks were spotless at a time when most neighbors couldn't clean their sidewalks due to a hard layer of ice over the snow. My son advised me to keep this product on hand due to how well it works. When I saw the price at SAM'S CLUB I purchased 4 buckets and gave 2 to my son. While many snow plows were struggling to get through the ice and snow, this product just melted it away. Definitely would recommend it. p.s. I prefer the bucket to the bag---easier to work with by someone of my age. (73)

This ice melt works well, even down to negative temperatures. It is easy to scoop and tends to not clump and bind like other products. The bucket isn't the easiest to open, but it does tend to keep the product dry and is easier to scoop from than a floppy bag. The more uniform size and shape also makes it friendly for garden hand spreaders.

This stuff is great! Best product for concrete driveways. Starts melting within seconds. I stock up as soon as I see it in stock at the store, otherwise it sells out and I'm caught without any for the rest of the winter or I have to pay a higher price somewhere else

Product works great especially for the savings

We discovered how cost effective this is about 5 years ago when they were out of the ‘regular’ bags of salt at the store. We haven’t bought anything else since! It probably saves you money as you don’t have to salt as frequently because it gets the job done.

Been waiting for this all winter

I went on line and purchased for club pick up. Was notified 2 hours later it was ready. Picked up the next day. Weighting 50 lbs. they put it in my suv with out me asking. Purchased before, works very well and won’t hurt animals or grass.

Great way to shop, although l needed it the day before. This used to be available IN stores last winter and spring, not sure why it isnt now. Best value, best ice melter!

The Excel Snow & Ice Melt is a GREAT Product! However, the new "BLACK" bucket it is packed in is a pain to get open! The plastic lips on the lid are much stiffer than the "White" plastic. I have to use a pair of pliers to get the lid off.

It didn’t seem to melt the ice as well as advertised. It would “crack” when first applied but then it seemed to quit working. I’ve found a different brand that seems to work better that I’ll go with instead.
