UNSAFE FOR SMALL PETS

Highlighting this review since there are MULTIPLE product pages for this container throughout Chewy's site. As other reviews mention, the latch does not close properly. This product must be removed or come with an explicit warning. If the pet is small enough it can climb inside, but cannot escape. DANGEROUS. AVOID FOR SMALL PETS.

UNSAFE, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

UNSAFE IF YOU HAVE A SMALL PET. Please go to the one star review of a customer whose kitten suffocated in this product. As other reviews mention, the latch does not close properly, and if the pet is small enough it can climb inside, but cannot escape. Another video on instagram of a woman who nearly lost her own cat complained about this SAME product. AVOID IF YOU HAVE A SMALL PET

Ehh

I ordered the 35 lb container which says its supposed to hold 37.5 lbs but my 31 lb bag of food filled it completely with no extra room. The latch is also horrible, super loose and doesn't hold firm at all. Anything could easily open it. I have the same container from years ago that is great, this one is horrible and I wanted to return it when I got it because of the latch not even latching but I didn't have the time to.

Iris WeatherPro Cat for Litter Storage

I recently have ordered Catalyst cat litter

Arrived in partially opened box without wheels

I ordered two of the 35lb rolling Iris food storage containers. They arrived in a hugely oversized box that was so poorly taped that the top was partially open. The box could've held twice as many bins as I ordered, and everything inside had obviously slid around in transit. My two bins were supposed to have come with eight total wheels. I only received three wheels. The wheels were in a small bag that had a slit in the side of it. I assume all the other wheels must have fallen out of the top of the box, which had not been taped properly before shipping, thus leaving a sizeable hole.

Review for item in the image only.

Love this container since it's the second one I bought. I'm only giving a good review if you happen to get the exact same item that is shown in the photo. If it looks different than the image, review would definitely go down in stars. Tried to buy it in the store and it was totally different and did not look like the image on the website. Probably because it's a totally different company that makes the container. Ended up buying this item shown the image at an online store. Tractor supply needs to update their website to be more accurate.

Exactly as advertised. Easily holds 25 lbs of cat food with room to spare. No smell in mine but I washed it with warm soapy water and let it air out for a few hours. The wheels snap in and I can see them coming out if they hit a bump but they dont cause a weird space in the inside of the container like some similar storage bins so thats a plus. Just dab some gorilla glue inside.

Great for me...

i was looking for a weatherproof co tainer to store my sugar. i stock up when its onsale and needed a container thst will keep out moisture and bugs. i needed a certain size to fit in a small space and i couldnt find any totes that would fit just right. This item popped up on a item you may like section and it fits perfectly. bonus it held 12 pks of 4lb sugar. i put the wheels on it and now i can move it around if needed. i liked its made in USA so lets hope it lasts along time for the price. i got other containers from this company and they seem to be good and sturdy. fingers crossed theyll outlast me. give them a try.

Works well

I bought this for my parents to put litter in. They keep it indoors. It works well for what they wanted to use it for, but the wheels on the one we got were hard to put on. The holes were not wide enough and we pushed really hard to get them in place, but that bends the casters slightly and it was hard to get them all even. Eventually we did, and it works really well with heavy litter so i'm sure it will be great for food, which is it's descriptive purpose. I will probably buy some for myself as well to use for food and/or other pet items.

Yesterday My Kitten Suffocated In this Bin

Yesterday My Kitten Suffocated In this Bin. This Just happened to us, I don't know what else to do or who to talk to. Our not even-year-old cat Bodir suffocated to death yesterday in an iris food container. We found him in it and he was gone, and it was traumatic for both myself and my partner. It's a really heavy struggle, even though I know it was an accident and nothing can be done to bring our baby back. We struggle to accept it because of the "what ifs" that might have prevented it. He was the sweetest boy, never scared of anything, and trusted us so much. Think twice about getting these bins, make sure they are secure in areas where your cats can not easily get into. I blame myself for buying these, but maybe this review will save someone's baby, and maybe someone will make a food container that is safe and will not suffocate anyone else's pet if they prove smart enough to get inside for a bite.

Small but nice

I got this to replace our older one and first I say my likes then share dislikes. My older one didn't have a fresh seal this one does that is a plus. It moves smoothly. Dislikes our older one was supposedly the same size as this one and I can tell it held more dog food. I could put a 25lb bag plus 1/2 of another this one barley fits a 25lb bag. I wish l had gotten a bigger one since I have two good sized dogs.

Volume less than described - Doesn't hold 35 lbs

They are nice containers. They are sturdy and seal up well. But they don't hold the amount of food that the description says.

This container is supposed to be for dog food. I live in a hot climate and it's too hot to store my lawn and garden chemical in our garage. I did have the chemicals in a closet, and it was apparent to the chemicals were off gassing. With this airtight container, the fertilizers and chemicals are stored away in a closet with no odor. As a bonus, the container can be wheeled outside when I need the chemicals.

Good for rodent and skunk exclusion

It works well when left in one place and not moved when full. I did not use the casters. I store unopened bags of cat food in it, minimizing repeated openings. I transfer the whole bag to smaller airtight containers for daily use. Then order more food from CHEWY for storage. I top was a little balky to get the hinges to snap together on the initial assembly. Be patient and careful not to break them. If the lid doesn't close and seal, then recheck the hinges. (More patience and care.)

Good and Bad but Mostly Bad

I have both a 47qt and 55qt unit. Container has good thickness and will not crack easily. Lid props open to allow for hands free access. Same design makes it difficult to remove for cleaning. Brute force required to snap it back into place. Gasket is cheap foam and might keep mice and bugs out, but not moisture. It is NOT airtight. Wheels are cheap plastic and one always falls out unless you glue it into place. Wheel stem is 1/4 inch and impossible to find a replacement for when they break. IRIS does NOT offer replacement lids, wheels, or gaskets to customers at all. If it breaks just throw the whole bin in the landfill and Buy a New One. Cheaper to buy a 7 or 10 gallon food grade bucket with a Gamma seal lid if you want airtight storage.

Needs a handle but great for what it is.

I bought this because we buy 40lb bags of kitty litter, and lugging around a bag or a box towards the cat boxes, or going back and forth with half a pint of kitty litter is annoying.

Really Handy to Have

The Iris Airtight Pet Food Container has been a huge help to us. We has been keeping our cat food in an old cat litter pail. Dragging it in and out every time we used it. It was a pain. The Iris container has made feeding our cats so much easier. The lid is air tight so no smelly cat food scent leaks out. The wheels, by the wheels sure make it easier at feeding time. We just roll the container out, open the lid, fill the bowl and wheel the container back. So easy to use!
