- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2025Color: RedSize: 3.5 GallonStyle: Single PackVerified PurchaseI bought this bucket to carry traction sand to spread on my icy drive and walkways. Perfect size it easily holds 35 lbs of sand without a bendy handle or a warped interior. Great strength and quality. A very comfortable handle to grip. Worth the money if you want a truly excellent product that will probably last forever.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2024Color: RedSize: 3.5 GallonStyle: Single PackVerified PurchaseI 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bigger than a Standard Bucket
Color: GraySize: 3.5 GallonStyle: Single PackVerified PurchaseThe bucket functions well; it’s solid. The color is neutral, so it fits in well.
This bucket is bigger than a standard bucket, so it needs more space to store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Bucket
Color: GraySize: 2.5 GallonStyle: Single PackVerified PurchaseThis is the perfect bucket. Super strong, easy to read measurement lines, no drip pour.
The price does seem quite high for a simple bucket but it's worth it because you will have this for life.
