NOT Airtight but still useful
I just bought the 28qt container, at curbside pickup, just hours ago. I read reviews and the Q&As before deciding on this one. I finally get home from my errands about 20 minutes ago, to learn that this container is in fact, not airtight. I needed airtight to help prevent moisture and any creepy critters from getting to my kitty kibble. But the lid comes with a cheap looking foam "seal". I tested the airtightness by pressing my hand down (not hard) on the lid, after snapping it shut. I could hear the air wheezing out and sucking back in through said seal. Airtight seals don't let air in or out. I can't use that for my cat kibble at all.
That being said, as it turns out, the 28qt container also happens to fit two 20lb bags (with a little room on top) of kitty litter. I can't use it for food, but litter storage is nice, I guess.

Great Container!
This container holds so much food, keeps it air-tight, and my dog is not able to get into it! The wheels are a nice touch too.

Rice Storage
Was looking all over town to find an air tight tub to store a 25lb bag of rice. My wife is Chinese and loves her Jasmine or Sweet Rice and likes to buy in bulk sizes. These containers were perfect. Easy to open wide lid with a latch. Air tight to keep the rice fresh and insects out. The roller wheels make under counter storage access so easy. And the price is perfect. Consider these storage containers for purposes other then pet food.

Great product but for the casters
I love this product and have two of them, but one of the casters broke off and now, with the others locked in place, it won’t sit flat. Don’t know how to get a replacement caster!!

Very handy!
I have 2 sizes of these bins and both have been great for storing dog food for my 2 boys. They move along nicely with the multi-directional wheels and the simple clip holds the lid down nicely while still being easy to use.

Convenient
Love this container! We bought the small one 5 years ago and it still works well for our dog’s dry food. Fits an entire 25lb bag of food. Very convenient with the wheels even my 10yo can maneuver it around after filling it. We recently got a bunny and now bought the large one for hay and the small one for dry food again. Very easy!

Pet Food Container
Like the rollers. Plastic shell seems a tad on the thin side. Locking clasp doesn’t seem too secure to utilize. Nevertheless, it functions well, useful; it just needs a tad more thick application of plastic.

Great for salt in the garage
We don’t have pets, but use this container to store salt for our driveway. It rolls, so we can move it around the garage or driveway when we need to, and it holds an entire bag of salt and keeps it dry. We always need to be prepared for winter in Wisconsin!

Gold Standard for pet food storage
As a Professional Organizer, I see my clients struggling with all kinds of solutions for storing pet food. This wonderful bin fits every size bag, has an airtight seal preventing drying and spoiling and snap-locks foiling even the most creative 4 legged thieves. The wheels are truly what make it spectacular for my mobility and flexibility challenged clients. And for anyone who doesn't want to carry large bags of dog food! There is no other solution that I will ever recommend and I use this in my home!

Dog Food Container- Great
I don’t have wheels attached since I nest in a corner near the dog dishes. I just drop the dog food bag in and scoop out. The bag of dog food is out of the way and stays fresh for the pups.

Have enjoyed how easy it is to actually move the dog food if needed and the size, it fits nicely in the space that we have for it (space saver).

Fantastic product, holds the entire bag of cat food. Love the fact that it is on casters, easy to open and keeps the food fresh.
Would definitely recommend to friends!

Disappointed
I bought the large container that says it hold 45+ pounds of dog food. It does not hold nearly that much, maybe 30 pounds.

Best Value
I have gone through many bins/containers over the years to store my pet food. I have three cats and a 100lb GSD. I bought the 45lb container for dog food storage. I must say I am pleasantly surprised. The container is lightweight so it was easy for me to move around and find it the right home in my kitchen/breakfast nook.
Being see-through I can easily glance to see how much food is in there or if I need to get more. I didn't put the casters on it, as my dog will just push it around my house as a game. Without them, she just 'knocks' on the can when she is hungry.
The latch on the front is a bit backward, as you push it down to open instead of up- but it seems to seal tightly, and we were able to maneuver the food bag in, so it just nests inside. This way you avoid the dust that fills the bottom of the container.
VERY VERY happy with this item and will be purchasing more in the future.

Great purchase!
I got the 22-lb. version, and I love it! It rolls easily, and I can tell it keeps the food fresher than the covered bin I used before. I like that it's translucent so I can see how much food is left and remember to get more.

No more stale pet food!
I bought this item a few months ago and it has worked so well, I just bought another one. It really helps keep the large bags of pet food from going stale. Easy to move. Easy to clean. Easy to put together, just push in four wheels and snap on the lid.

Great purchase
I bought the medium sized container for cat food many years ago. It has stood up very well. (It even survived a raccoon attack) I like the fact that this container is stury, doesn't tip over, rolls easily and seals securely so you can't smell the cat food and tiny critters can't get in. I am planning on buying another one to replace the one that hurricane Harvey took.

Great for Storing Unopened Bags of Dog Food
i only add this review as an example of what the large container can hold. I buy two bags of dog food on-line at a time in order to get free shipping. We have a container in the kitchen that works very satisfactorily. However, it only holds one bag of food. The large pet food container holds two 14lb mini-bite dog food bags side by side perfectly! It also holds 2 square boxes of treats and 2 bags of joint supplements. It fits nicely in the the back of a closet. Our house is approximately 130 years old with very limited storage; nor is there a garage. Our climate is very humid. Due to the age of the house and our climate, we are always vigilant against rodents, and this is perfect. My method would not work as well for larger bags of food, or food for larger dogs.

Good idea but has trouble with weight
I have a large dog, and I have issues with keeping the caster wheels in place. I have even hot glued them on before. But this past weekend, the entire bottom left plastic corner snapped off due to the weight of my dog's food. We have the smaller version for our cat food and find no problems.

Keeps My Back Stock of Dog Food Safe From Mice!
Our house was built around 1890; there is virtually no storage, and we live in a hot & humid climate. This is a recipe for mice martinis! In order to get free shipping, I have to order 2 bags of dog food at a time. We keep a container in the kitchen, with which we are completely satisfied. But it only holds 1 bag. I purchased the large size hoping it would hold 2 unopened bags. It worked fabulously! My dog food comes in 14 lb bags that are flat. It holds the 2 bags of food, 2 bags of joint supplements and 2 8 oz cardboard cartons of biscuits. It fit nicely into the front bedroom closet under short hanging clothes. By turning it sideways, I could still get two of the Container Store water-proof file boxes into the same closet AND comfortably close the door! The added benefit is that we can have weather emergencies due to hurricanes, so we are prepared!

Finally got the 2nd container!
My first container lasted YEARS of food for foster dogs spanning over 12 years and many foster babies. After broken wheels and duck tape I finally said "Enough.. get a new one!" So with my 25% off coupon (YEAH!) I set out to CS and got the new, larger pet food container! AND I LOVE IT!! My old one lasted a long time and feed lots of fur babies with fresh food. The new container will no doubt do the same. This is a great product and I highly recommend getting this product! I have attached a picture of the sad old container now living in retirement at an unknown location!

Dog insists I buy another
Bought largest container years ago: no food smell, no half-filled bags, easy to fill, mobile on sturdy wheels. Original has aged. I'm off to replace it.

Great for spare bedding etc
I'm short on closet shelf space for linens etc. I find that the largest of the containers stores extra bed linens and the rollers make it handy to store in the odd spaces in my house, like my under-the-stairs closet. I just ordered some more to store my extra seasonal table linens, etc. Just roll them into the odd spaces and roll them out again. I can 'layer' them one in front of the other and still get to what I want. Fantastic!

45 lb Pet Food Container
I love this air tight container. I am using it to store the different kinds of rice I have at home; brown rice, long grain rice, sweet rice and Sushi rice. It works perfect, it easily fits my 25 lb long grain rice and three other different kinds of rice at 10 lb each. I am very glad that I found this product at the Container Store website. Highly recommended and it's on wheels too!
