Rubbermaid Commercial Products Brute Heavy-Duty Round Bucket, 10-Quart, Red, Corrosive-Resistant Pail with Handle for Cleaning/Material Transport

Several key points. 3.5 gallon is large enough when 2/3 full is a little over 2 gallons. Water is about 8.3 pounds per gallon so that would be about 17 lbs. The handle is a heavy duty steel wire with a floating handgrip. The bucket can move without twisting your hand. The material is heavier plastic with a molded in pouring spout. The bottom has a rim molded in that keeps you from wearing through the bucket liner when you scoot it around on the floor or concrete. Best of all... I found (on Amazon) a Figpade 9.25" Diameter Car Wash Bucket Dirt Guard liner that fits perfectly in the bottom of this bucket. That keeps the water clean and doesn't recycle the dirt in the water. Overall just what I was looking for.

Very sturdy and nice bucket. Love the red color!

sturdy utility bucket. I use it for gardening and fertilizing. Marked off rings at 1 and 2 gallon fill levels so I could add specific amounts of fertilizers quickly. Handle secure enough to handle the weight of water. Pours easily via spout on rim.

Didn't expect them to be hard plastic. Unlike the Rubbermaid pucket I remember.

I used this for my weekly fish tank cleaning. it is heavy duty. I love everything about this bucket. Rubbermaid makes great product especially the commercial line.

I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of this bucket! Initially, I never imagined I'd write a review for a bucket … but this is no simple pail. It truly stands out. I opted for the vivid red 3.5-gallon size, and I must say, it's exceeded my expectations in every aspect. First and foremost, the build quality is exceptional. Crafted from thick and sturdy rubber, this bucket feels robust and durable in hand. Unlike cheaper alternatives, it lacks sharp edges and corners, making it safer and more comfortable to handle. The attention to detail in its construction is evident, promising longevity and reliability. One feature that particularly caught my attention is the pouring spout. It's a thoughtful addition that enhances the bucket's functionality, allowing for precise pouring without spills or splashes. Whether I'm washing my cars or engaging in other tasks, this feature proves to be very handy. Speaking of car washing, that's primarily how I utilize this bucket, and it excels in this regard. Its ample capacity accommodates sufficient water for a thorough wash, while its sturdy construction ensures it holds up well to frequent outside use. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. This bucket has truly elevated my car washing experience, and its quality and durability make it a worthwhile investment. If you're in the market for a reliable and well-built bucket, look no further—this one ticks all the boxes. Incidentally, I also recommend using a dirt trap insert which filters the dirt in the water down to the bottom. Most of these dirt traps are around 12 inches in diameter. However, the bottom diameters of standard-sized buckets like this one usually taper down closer to 9 inches or so at the bottom. After a really long search on Amazon, I found a 9.25 inch diameter dirt trap by the Pro-Elite brand. Do a search for ProElite Bucket Dirt Trap Car Wash Bucket Insert and it will pop up in your search results. --JM 2/27/2024

Their stuff has been sturdy and reliable for decades. Stick with Rubbermaid, and you're good.

I just want to say this brand makes tough stuff that usually will last long enough to justify a higher price. Buyer beware........I had purchased supposedly this same item and was delayed in receiving it, but when I did receive it, it was obvious right away it was not the genuine article. I hate when somebody tries to screw you over like that.

しっかりしているが、バケツとしては結構大きめ。

Buena calidad, ligera, multiusos, una muy buena cubeta jaja.

After my 30 year old Rubbermaid bucket finally got a crack on the bottom I came across this one that looks like it might have been similar in plastic strength. It far exceeds it! It’s a great bucket, even a gallon bigger than my other one. The only thing I don’t like about it is the red handle grip is not very comfortable when you’re carrying it with your bare hands. Definitely recommend! This one should last at least as long I hope!

Heavy duty. Great bucket

Really solid bucket. The handle is very good and makes it comfortable to carry when very heavy.
