IRIS USA Airtight Dog Food Storage Container, Up to 11 lbs, Dog Cat Bird and Other Pet Food Treats Storage Bin, Dog Cat Wet Food Cans, Keep Fresh, BPA Free, Stackable, Navy

I'm not using this container for its intended purpose, which is pet food storage. I'm using the 11 pound option to house isopods. I needed a cheap container that sealed around the edges so that mites and fungus knats have a hard time getting into my culture. This product fits the bill. There is a foam-like seal attached to the lid. The lid is on a hinge, and unlocks with a little clasp lever thingie on one of the short sides. I can take the lid off and back on its hinge easily enough to clean it, but I dont see it coming off its hinge on accident. There is also a little stop so the lid cant overextend the hinge and snap off. The lid will remain open in the up position without having to hold it. The plastic is strong enough to knock around, and has enough flex to not be brittle. The lid is well made and has a bit of reinforcement built into the geometry of the inside. Seems to be a pretty sturdy design. I can picture the foam seal breaking down over time or even molding if it isn't dried properly after washing. That's the only downside I can think of. I would(and will) buy this container again if/when I need another one. This product has my recommendation as an affordable option for storing both dry pet food and isopods.

Got for dry item storage in pantry. Works good so far. Only issue is the top. The part that holds it on opposite of the latch is horrible. It's really a pain to get aligned. Took me way to long to get it to work correctly. Still not a smooth operation. Really bad design in my opinion. I will use it and see if it becomes a problem.

well made, easy to open with one hand.

This is a pretty good buy with a small caveat. I bought two of these containers specifically for the airtight seal and the size. The lid in my favorite rich navy blue color was a bonus. First thing I noticed was that it was made in the USA, somewhat inducing warm fuzzy feelings about the economy, and secondly it maintained good quality all around the product (no sharp edges, stray plastic, or mismatch tolerance). Design-wise, there is a shallow wall of plastic all around the bottom about 1/4 inch high that elevates the entire container off the ground. I'm thinking this would be great for keeping the bottom surface off the possibly wet or dirty ground! Plus it doubles as a stacking mechanism since the lid on top has a groove that exactly matches the dimensions (I would never have known if I hadn't bought two of these bad boys). The walls of the container is somewhat cloudy white but translucent enough to see stash you plan on hiding in it. The latch on one end is big and stiff (clean thoughts now), easily capable of providing pressure on the airtight seal whilst not being too hard to open and close. The hinges (two of them) on the other end are rather small but sufficient for its intended purpose. The lid is completely removeable, easily de-hinging at a certain angle (wide open), so I was able to inspect the hinge design closely. As long as you don't shamelessly pack your container like an overstuffed suitcase then it will last close to forever. As far as the airtight seal goes, this is where my caveat comes into play. The seal is accomplished by a white foam wrapped around the entire rim of the lid, sort of reminiscent to food lock containers. Unfortunately, one of my containers did not have that foam wrapped 100% around, leaving a small 1-inch gap where the two ends meet. Pressing on the lid while closed let some air escape through this gap. Fortunately it was easily rectified by pulling out the foam, stretching it slightly and carefully, and inserting it back in. And like magic the two ends meet, closing the gap. I re-tested the seal and it was much better, although not pressure-cooker tight, it required my manly, rippling muscles to squeeze the air out. Only time will tell whether the foam would shrink back to reveal a gap again or whether the foam lining would last repeated use (silicone or rubber would have been much better). And when I say foam, its like an exercise-mat foam not styrofoam. SO like Amazon's description says, its not limited to just pet food. Let your wildest dreams run wild with this container. Hide your dad's stinky shoes in there, store your sister's embarrassing baby photos in pristine condition, and keep those beanie-babies absolutely dust-free. Or you could always put dog food in there. Check out my photos, the size is right, and for the price, its pretty darn good.

For those that are wondering, it is NOT stackable on the 11 lb. container. I bought this to go on top of the already stacked containers I bought, but it doesn’t fit into the same grooves on the 11 lb. container. I’m going to keep it because it’s a good airtight container in general.

Nice container

I am looking for airtight containers to store parrot food in, to help keep it fresh and keep critters out of it. I received it today, the product seems durable enough, easy enough to open and close with the hinge on the back side. It’s a little pricey for its size, but I guess that’s the way things are nowadays. 10 years ago it would have been a $8.00 item. I also chose this product because it is made in the USA.

Só não ganhou 5 estrelas pq a tampa não sai totalmente dificultando assim o uso, pois comprei para colocar ração do meu cachorro, e comprei achando que a tampa saia.

This container is so perfect for storing my dry dog and cat food. These containers fit beautifully one on top of the other, are very sturdy and snap open and closed very securely. They're really good quality and that's why I keep looking for and sticking to this brand.

I was looking for an airtight box that would fit my unopened dog treats and stuff in to protect it from bugs, damp etc. This fit the bill. The box is around 22cm W, 34cm L & 16cm H (not including the lid - which is around 40cm L & 27 W). This size is works well for my use, and i can see it holding a small 1.5-2kg bag of kibble. I would not decant the kibble as this is clear plastic and therefore not UV stable but in the bag? This is perfect. the lid has a nice solid feel to it, it’s easy to work and easy to clean. The lid has a slight curve upwards to it but this feels premium and looks quality too. Can’t find a better airtight multipurpose tub than this. I paid £14/15 for this and i’ll happily pay again, to get some more, really good value. Excellent. Smells plastically so definitely wash it before use.

i like these containers, good for my guinea pig n rabbit food. this one does not clip like my other set but it will do.

I ordered the 11 lb container. It was exactly what I was looking for & fit in the space I have. Received in perfect condition. I would prefer if the lid had a snap on both sides instead of the hinge but still a great container. * Update* I also just ordered the 14.8 quart containers. Appear to be very good quality and also arrived in perfect condition. Very happy with my order.
