simplehuman CW1887 25L 12KG Medium Pet Dog Dry Food Storage Container Bin, Lid-Mounted Measuring Scoop, Airtight Seal, Pet-Proof Lock, Removable BPA-Free Inner Bucket, Brushed Stainless Steel

I have tried several dog food storage bins in the past, at much cheaper prices but every one has had to be returned. Either the clip breaks or they are not air tight or they just look cheap and nasty. So I decided to pay the money and go for this one. It arrived DPD, extremely well boxed and packaged. Easy to get out of box. Has 10 year guarantee. Very good looking bin with the brushed stainless steel (pity not manufactured in black like other kitchen bins from this company), good pair of wheels to push the bin around on. The handle and closing mechanism is sturdy, easy to operate and definitely produces an air tight seal. The bin has an internal bin, easily removed for washing and the good size scoop is held well in place by its magnetic handle, to a 'housing' inside the lid. This is the 25l bin and a 10kg sack of McAdams kibble just fits in. To get the last amount in, close lid and gently lift front of bin, tapping it back down on the floor a few times. The contents will settle and allow room to empty the last bit in from the sack. As previous reviewers suggest, how much kibble the bin will hold depends upon the quality of the kibble. A heavy cereal based kibble will be more bulky than the grain free, nothing added, high protein food produced for the top end of the market. This Size bin is not suitable for a 10kg sack of cereal based kibble. Would advise larger bin if in doubt. A very robust and attractive container. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Honestly this is a brilliant storage bin. It looks smart in the kitchen, is well made and sturdy. The magnetic scoop is a brilliant addition. The magnet is strong so no chance of it falling off and replacing the scoop is easy as the strong magnet pulls it back into place with zero effort from the user. It's easy to clean. It does appear to be finger print resistant. The seal is great. Dog doesn't bother with it as he can't smell the food when its closed. The other thing is the 10 year warranty. If it lasts ten years its money very well spent and if it doesn't then you can use the warranty!Oh the other thing is that it's very easy to open one handed. Bowl in one hand, easily open and scoop with the other!No complaints at all. One of my better purchases.Also I agree with another reviewer. If your dog food is high in meat content and low in grain and fillers then the individual kibbles are heavier and my 12kg Barking Heads Puppy Large Breed bag did fit in the 25l bin. I'm changing to Orijen and will be back to update with how that fits but I cant see it being an issue.UPDATEIt fits 11.6kg bags of Orijen Large Breed Puppy.

I wanted something to store my cat food in. I have 3 cats and was getting tired of there being bags of cat food all over the place. I baulked at the price, but thought I'd take a chance on reading up about ideal pet food storage. This fit the bill with it being air tight and BPA free, I know the food won't be contaminated if I decide to empty the contents directly into the bin and will be in tip top condition. However, it is advised that you store the food in storage containers, inside the bag they came in to keep them at the best. So that is exactly what I do. The biggest bag of cat food I ever buy is 10kg. I can fit the whole bag into this pet food bin, without having to empty the contents. So I'm more than happy. I haven't used the magnetic scoop as I already have one I use, and to be honest it's so discreet I forgot it was even there. Would highly recommend. Looks super smart as well. For reference, I bought size M (they only do M, L and XL) and have no regrets. I would think you'd only need to buy a bigger size if you have more than 10kg of pet food to store.

My biggest doubt about buying this storage was about the amount of storage. I bought the size M to store my Shih Tzu's food. I don't regret it: it is beautiful, organized, it keeps the food fresh and it is very easy to serve. About the quantity it stores: I buy 7.5 kg of dry breed Royal Canin Shih Tzu, whose grain is already smaller because of the brachycephalic breed. I can keep the 7.5kg + the leftover from the previous bag, as shown in the photo. It's expensive but I don't regret it, it’s amazing!

It’s not cheap but it’s worth it. It was an excellent build quality and is easy to operate. It fits nicely in my small kitchen and has wheels for easy movement. Excellent for keeping clean. I have lost count of the plastic bins I have had and wanted to save money in the end and have long term use which I believe this will provide. I purchased their bin on the back this which is equally as good and has long term style and use written all over it.

I wouldn't have needed this if it hadn't been for a new kitty who has the scent of a bloodhound when it comes to food. Two packets of treats ripped open and the lot eaten. Bag of kibble ripped open,but fortunately knocked on its side so not much eaten.Drastic circumstances call for drastic action. I'd found what wanted but then dithered on the size, wondering how many bags it would get in since our cats all have different needs. Finally I went for the 12kg one, which is more than ample for my needs, although only one bag in at the moment, since the little beggar doesn't have access to the others bags yet.Looks really nice, not likely to need cleaning with the bag in and kitty can't get in, despite trying as there are already scratch marks on the black piece around the lock area. Nice wheels on for shifting as well, which he has tried as it did get moved.Wonderful, what more do you want, functional but still looks the business and worth the money.

This is a very sturdy storage container. It fits a full bag of my pup’s food and seals nicely. I like the scoop and the magnet is very strong to hold it on the lid. Simple Human products are good quality even though I find them very expensive.

Este producto es todo lo que esperaba y mas. Tengo con el aproximadamente dos años y sigue como nuevo.Es mucho mejor que tener un feo costal de croquetas arrumbado o uno de esos horribles contenedores transparentes.Mantiene la comida de mis gatos fresca y a salvo de las hormigas y cualquier otro insecto.Vivo en playa así que la humedad también es un factor a considerar y este producto ha evitado que las croquetas se humedezcan.Dos detalles que encuentro es que no rueda tan fácilmente. Yo casi no lo muevo, pero es algo a considerar por si a alguien le interesa por el hecho de que rueda.Y el otro detalle es que al tenerlo en la cocina hay quienes lo confunden con el bote de basura, pero no es un problema por que nadie jamás lo ha logrado abrir! 😝

Ottimo acquisto! Bello, funzionale e robusto. Consigliato!

ヘコミ、歪みがひどい状態で納入されました。すごく残念です。

I love this dog food storage container! I really didn't want to spend the money for it at first, but since none of the cheaper containers were truly air-tight with a full seal, I had no choice. I am glad that I had to buy it, though, as it looks a LOT nicer than any of the cheaper containers! Since I feed my dog in the kitchen by the wide opening into the sunroom and keep this container in the sunroom right behind the wall the dog bowls are against, looks are important. Because the container could be mistaken by visitors for a trash can (especially since our kitchen trash can is hidden in a pull-out cabinet), I purchased a flat, black car magnet that is a silhouette of my dog breed and placed it on top of the can nearer to the handle end (the magnet is about an inch or so smaller on the left and right than the width of the top) - it looks great and I don't think anyone will mistake the container for a trash can! Magnets attach just fine to the stainless steel, though you could alternatively use a vinyl decal on it.I do find it unbelievable that some people have left bad reviews because they don't understand how different dog foods vary in size and weight, so went solely on the estimate of weight instead of the actual measurement of the interior of the container, so I feel that I must point out to anyone looking at buying this product that you need to measure your bag(s) of dog food, not go by the estimate, especially if you feed a quality food without fillers in it. I fit one 13-lb. bag of "i and love and you" dry kibble dog food AND one 5-lb. bag of "i and love and you" dehydrated dog food at the same time in this container, with the bags sitting side-by-side. (The 13-lb. bag doesn't come with a resealable zip-top, unlike the small bags of dry food of another brand that I fed to my previous dog, who also ate canned food, so that is the reason I needed to buy an air-tight container.)Dog food spoils when exposed to air and you must store it in an air-tight container and not store it in a garage, outside, or in direct sunlight/heat to keep it safe for your dog. If you pour the food into the container instead of keeping it in the bag, you need to wash the container out after you finish every bag (and do not mix food from a new bag with that of the old bag), so it is easier to keep it in the bag, plus you will still have the information of expiration date and lot number in case of a recall. I still washed the container out before the first use even though I keep the food in the bags and I used the handheld shower head to do it (or you could use an outdoor hose, but mine was broken). I will also rewash it from time to time.The wheels are very helpful on this container, as I wheel the container out a couple feet each night when I make the next day's dehydrated food (add water and refrigerate) so I can have the container right next to something on which I can place the two containers I make the food in. The only issue is that the left wheel gets stuck and I can hear it scraping on the floor instead of rolling, but thankfully the wood floor is not scratched from it. This is not enough of an issue for me to remove a star from my rating, though.The handle and the latch lock work perfectly for moving the container and opening/closing it. The food stays fresh inside it because the air-tight seal works well - just make sure that if you keep your food in the bag(s), you don't allow the tops of the bags to get in the way of the seal, as that may prevent it from being air-tight. (I cut the top of the 13-lb. bag to just below the height of the inner container so I don't have to worry about this. I still reseal the zip-top on the 5-lb. bag of dehydrated food, so I just make sure it is pushed down far enough to not be in the way.)I don't use the included scoop because it is important to correctly measure your dog's food with a measuring cup and I don't use either a one- or two-cup measurement for my dog (I use 1/8, 2/3, and 3/4 measuring cups as well as a 2-tablespoon measurer). I do think the magnetic storage for it on the inside of the lid is a great idea, but I removed it since I don't use it.The stainless steel is fingerprint-proof as described, though of course it is not wet dog nose smudge-proof. At first, my dog was very interested in sniffing the container, so I kept having to wipe off nose and wet muzzle hair (from drinking) smudges, but she got used to the container and it holding her food, so thankfully I don't have to clean smudges anymore. It still needs to be dusted, of course.I highly recommend this container for dog food storage! It is worth the high price.
