Many emphasize the sturdy construction, saying it "holds water well" and "doesn't leak," with strong build quality appearing across hundreds of reviews.

Hit and Miss
Would RecommendThe 2 gallon bucket is a great size to have around the house. It's strong and sturdy. Can be used for multiple tasks. The bucket i received came dirty, clearly used and returned. Keep in mind, I had to scrub it clean and will be only using for dirty jobs. Otherwise would of been a good value.
Bottom always cracks open
Would Not RecommendI thought it was just heavy use causing every one of these to crack, but then I stored two in the garage without using them, and one cracked on the bottom in exactly the same way. The plastic is being formed in a way that leaves a weak seam. An old plastic 5 gallon bucket that contained pickles has gotten far more use and never cracked
