Carlisle Commercial Mop Bucket with Side Press Wringer (26 Quart Capacity, Yellow, 3690804)

This is a really sturdy, well built pail and wringer. It does not tip and rolls easily on large casters. It is built to last.

Just a little bit smaller than a full size commercial mop bucket. Will definitely get the job done.

My review is based on the fact that I only paid CDN$ 31.71 plus tax from warehouse deals. I bought this for home use as I had always wanted a truly high quality mop wringer and bucket as I dislike all the cheapo residential ones available. I am so happy with this purchase as it makes cleaning floors a breeze. I would not have bought it at full price as I don't own a large home and am not in the cleaning service business.

I purchased this mop bucket as an Amazon used/returned item. When it arrived I could tell the original packaging was damaged a bit and taped back together, but nothing too serious. Fortunately, the bucket was still brand new -- there were no signs of use or damage. I'm glad I saved $20 by ordering a used item. The bucket is quite sturdy and a good size for household use; it's not too big and not too small. I mop an area roughly 400 sq-ft which includes a kitchen, dining room, hallway, and two bathrooms. The dimensions are as follows (see pictures): - Height (including the wringer): 23-1/4 inches - Height (not including the wringer): 14-7/8 inches - Length: 18 inches - Width: 14 inches The wringer can easily be lifted off the bucket and placed inside the bucket (for storage), which minimizes the overall height. There is some assembly required, specifically attaching the wheels to the bucket. I have read some reviews that say the wheel posts (i.e., casters) are too big to be inserted into the bucket/spacers. This is not true. Granted, they are difficult to insert…but this is by design. Their fit must be really tight, otherwise the wheels would simply fall out of the bucket or the bucket would not be stable. Keep in mind this bucket holds 26 quarts of water, and a quart of water weighs about 2 pounds. So that's approx. 52 lbs that the bucket has to support on its wheels. For assembly, besides reading the assembly directions, there are some tricks to inserting the wheels into the bucket: 1) After inserting the spacers (using a mallet or hammer) all the way into the bucket, use your hand to press the wheel posts (i.e., casters) into the spacers as far as they will go. 2) Use a mallet (or hammer) AND a driving rod of some sort; I simply used a 2x2 piece of wood (about 10 inches long) that was laying around my garage. 3) Place the driving rod onto the flat part of the caster (see pictures). Do NOT try to pound directly on the wheel, otherwise you will break or bend the wheel and/or caster and/or bearings. 4) Using the mallet/hammer, you must really pound on the driving rod to get the wheel post to sink all the way down into the spacer. You can't be gentle. You must really smack the driving rod with your mallet/hammer as if you are pounding a large nail into a piece of wood. Once you hit the driving rod with the mallet/hammer, rotate the wheel 180 degrees, reposition the driving rod, and then smack it again. Repeat this process until the casters are snug against the spacers. 5) When inserting the casters onto the front of the bucket, be sure to support the bucket's wheel supports (see picture) to help prevent breaking or damaging them.

A little bigger than I wanted. But I kept it anyway. Strong wheels and nicely made. Would definitely purchase again.
