The mechanics of the lid (spout and hatch) are tight and hard to operate. The lid is extremely tight which is good until you need to refill it, and it is uncertain if you will get it open without snapping the plastic or your fingernails. With only one handle on the side (and grip on the bottom) the container is hard to pick up and handle until you get your second hand on the bottom.

Good concept. Top snaps on tight. Has a large opening and a smaller pour spout. Only issue is the larger opening will suddenly open when trying to pour pellets through small spout causing pellets to go everywhere. Solved issue by taping down the larger opening.

Fit the need for less than I could get elsewhere. For freshness it is recommended that you place the whole bag of pet food in an airtight container rather than dump it into a container. The added advantage being the codes on the bag don’t get thrown away if you need to check for a recall.

Great idea. Need to realize that 40 lbs of pellets is still 40 lbs. for me, the first time using, I apparently didn’t have the lid closed tight. So I had some amount of mess Also don’t know how I’m going to store 4 different woods types. That’s easier to store rolled up partial bags in a tub

My husband purchased this storage container to hold dog food. It holds a full 30 lb. bag of dog food and is very well made. The top has a flap that can be open for scooping, but it also has a red flap that will lift up and can be poured. I didn’t think I would like pouring the dog food because of how heavy and cumbersome it would be. While it is heavy when filled, there is such a nice detail when pouring! When lifting up the container to pour, there is a spot on the bottom that is notched out for your hand to get a good grasp. 10/10!

AM SO PLEASED I ordered this for pick up - because that way I was able to be sure the top fit. Had no problems and am pleased with the quality. Am certain it will endure the South Florida heat & humidity for many years. We use this for the 40 pound bird seed bags we buy at SAM'S CLUB.

I got 2 of these to store bird seed and scratch grains. I filled one with seed. There is a 'dipping' door on the lid that also contains the spout. I feed with a 2 gallon bucket. I proceeded to open the spout with some difficulty. I picked it up the 'dispenser' by the handle and tipped and aimed the spout into the bucket and the door fell open and dumped seed everywhere. The door doesn't close tight enough to hold back the contents.

It feel very sturdy with relatively little flex in the container so I think it'll last. Most importantly, the pour spout is small enough to pour food into the small gravity feeders. It's just such a huge improvement over trying to pour from a 40-50lb food bag.

Great for holding the large sack of bird seed!!

Perfect for a large bag of cat food
