Sterilite 18-Quart Dish Pan, White, 12-Pack

I use this tubs for Makerspace materials and to separate out books.

A good buy for sure

I needed 3 of these, and the store I usually got them at has been out of stock for at least 6 months - so time to check Amazon. I really didn't want 12, but turns out getting 12 was cheaper than getting 3, and I did need them and wanted this larger size. So, 12 it was. Turns out it was a good thing - I used them all during Hurricane Florence, and they were perfect. So - if you ever think your roof might leak around the edges - don't hesitate to have a few extra on hand.

I'm a pomeranian breeder and my pups chew up and unstuff all doggie beds. Or worse, wee wee on them. These have solved my problem. The dogs are short so can't hike a leg tall enough to get the inside of the tub wet. So we have dry beds to sleep in now. They love them. And at this value, can be easily replaced if needed.

Here are the "good" and "bad" on this product...ADVANTAGES.1. These are white Sterilite dishpan containers, sold in a pack of 12. Each is a 18-quart size, measured 17.5" x 14.2" x 7"..2. I purchased my set for $27.81. At $2.32 each, it was probably "the best deal in town" despite the flimsy construction..3. The product is very useful for storing and organizing things: bags of nuts and candy, receipts, letters, hand tools, and any small items...DISADVANTAGES.1. They are very thin and weakly constructed, unlike the old Rubbermaid counterparts.

These are great. They are sturdy and a very nice size. I just got them 2 days ago and immediately put them to work. I am always happy with Sterilite products which I have been using for years..I have bought shelves, small cabinets with drawers, and lidded containers for organizing the garage and they have all held up well. I expect these dish pans will also.

great to use for pantry storage.update:I found some more uses for them since I got 12 of them.Just write on bottom what you are designating them for use with a permanent marker ...chihuahua bathtub. small enough she doesn't get scared of water level,slide out storage under the sink, footbath, temporary ice tub for parties (just keep in the sink and dump when done)

These are neither the thickest or thinnest walled plastic dish pans. But, they are thick enough yo do the job. We used them for water bowls at a dog walk with several hundred dogs. Yes, we ha dogs chewing them and trying to swim in them. They held up well. For the price, they are a good solution for dog bowls and likely any other dish pan type uses.
