United Solutions BA0006 White Plastic Eighteen Quart Dishpan-18 Quart/17L Dishpan in White

who are all these jokers trying to carry around large inexpensive plastic pans full of hot water? don't get them anywhere near me, jeez.it's a rectangle! try to grasp structural engineering! it's plastic vs hot water! try to grasp materials engineering! read: if your intent is to move water around the place, get a bucket already!I put it in the bathtub. I add a large amount of epsom salts. I fill it with hot water. I sit on the edge of the tub with a book and soak my feet. this is a good thing.I want to read my book outside on the deck. I put the dishpan out on the deck. I add a large amount of epsom salts. I put a sturdy bucket in the bathtub and fill it with hot water. I carry the bucket by its convenient handle out to the deck and fill the dishpan. I sit in my chair and read my book and soak my feet. this is a good thing.

I bought this for hand washing small items and to use for art supplies. It is lightweight and has floppy or rubbery walls, but not so much that it's not useable. Not like a silicone mat or anything like that but it does wiggle. I didn't mind the floppy walls because I'm using for lightweight items. The walls are kind of thin compared to some other bins. I think it's deep and suitable for hand washing shirts, smaller items, I might not wash heavy items on it but if I didn't have any other container, I'd use it for that. I bought another set of bins for hand washing that suited my needs better but I like this bin for how lightweight and compact it is in comparison.These are the other bins I purchased:Artisan Utility Bus Box and Storage Bin with Handles, 2-Packhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JM9VZIG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I purchased two of these for a foot bath given that some reviews stated that it is a little flimsy and I agree that, when full of water, the plastic may eventually give way while lifting it up to remove the water. Having said that, I am very pleased with the size. I wear 8.5 size women's shoes and my feet fit perfectly inside it. I'm also very pleased with its "cleanability" after taking an ionic foot bath. The bath water turns a thick brownish color due to the ions coming into contact with added sodium and water and it subsequently leaves a pretty nasty ring on the tub. Nevertheless, I was able to easily remove it with rinsing and the use of a moist towelette. Hope that's not TMI for those ready this : \. Given the price and the fact that it is BPA free, I am very satisfied.

**The item description says that this foot soak tub is made of "durable plastic that will not chip or crack"; I really wonder about that. The plastic is so thin that it seems like it is almost a disposable item; I'm not sure I've seen anything made of plastic like this that was NOT disposable. The foot soak tub is barely big enough for my feet (I'm a women's size 9) and would not fit anyone with larger feet. The liter mark is a simple piece of paper--like a price tag--with a sheen, so it may be waterproof, and mine was put on at an angle, not straight. When you put water in it and try to carry it, it's unwieldy, as though the whole thing could suddenly twist and spill. I should have purchased one of the blow-up foot soak tubs, but this was a key complaint people had with those so I avoided them--now I think one of those would have been better.I wouldn't pay more than a dollar for this item.Not recommended, unless you want to buy an expensive semi-disposable foot soak tub.**UPDATE 7/2/13: This item was previously marketed as a "foot soak tub", not a dishpan--thus my review! I would not use it as a dishpan, except for as a disposable dishpan in a camping or other similar situation. The plastic used for this item when I purchased it was thinner than that on those temporary disposable food storage containers! As I mentioned, if it were only a dollar or so, I would recommend it for unusual situations where a very light and disposable dishpan was needed.

Unfortunately the bin arrived cracked and broken due to the way the other items were packaged in the box along with this plastic bin. It wasn't too bad, nothing duct tape couldn't fix lol. I intended to use this bin as a litter/dig box for my 6 pound rabbit. She fits inside the bin comfortably with some space left over. The sides are high enough to contain some of the mess from her digging (she's a rabbit so really no bin is high enough to contain her mess lol). Even though the bin is duct taped to conceal the crack it works well. I didn't bother asking for a replacement because it could easily be fixed for my rabbit. And for $3 I can't beat the price.

I actually purchased this item to put epsom salts and water into and soak my feet. The item came promptly and was appropriately wrapped. The plastic is not too heavy but it suited my purposes for soaking my feet. It held plenty of water. The water did not spill over the edges when carrying to the room where I planned to soak and relax. When I was done using it clean up was a breeze. It simply wiped clean without any extra effort needed. I am still using it for this purpose. I cannot comment how it would work as a dispan. I imagine it would work perfectly because it was strong enough to carry water from one room to another. I have enjoyed this item and would recommend it.

I can see this might not meet your needs if you plan to use it to transport water from one place to another, because it is a little on the flexible side. But for my needs it is perfect - fits my kitchen sink, turning it into an approximation of "double sink" without being too bulky or sticking up over the top edge of the sink, which is why I chose it. Easy to keep clean, and I like that it's made in the USA.

Pretty sturdy, handles are very easy to grasp, and it will hold a lot of water without bulging too much. Big enough to soak a lot of stained laundry, or your sore feet.I also needed some inexpensive containers, to use like a storage basket on some shelving. These worked really well for this purpose too. They hold a lot of stuff and you can put them fairly close together on shelving as they have fairly straight sides. The bit of space between them can be used to tuck various items into.

I bought this as a foot soaker after seeing the absurd prices for feet soakers spa type thingies. I don't need a spa for my feet, I just need a bit of epson salts and some warm water some days. Two large feet , several gallons of warm water and lots of epson salt all fit quite comfortably in this basin. Just an FYI it's either for dishes or feet. One or the other, not both.

Bought this to replace an old blue Rubbermaid dishpan bought almost 15 years ago that was self destructing (peeling). I wanted something that wasn't white and you'd think that would be easy to find....I've been looking for 5 years! This one is an acceptable replacement but the plastic is a lot thinner and I don't think it will last half as long...or even a quarter as long as the old one.

Good points:= fits two size 12 feet with room to spare= deep enough to fill with water well above the ankles= affordableI recommend this basin for people who enjoy washing or soaking their feet. One of life's simple, healthy pleasures. ^_^

Works well enough for what I'm using it for (dishpan). But it is fairly flimsy... hope it holds up over time.
