tchrules Ice Bucket, Oval Beverage Tub, Galvanized Bucket and drink Cooler for Parties, Ice Tub with Handles for Beer Sparkling Whisky Wine Cocktails (3.5gal) (Galvanized)

This galvanized tub is the perfect size to keep my favorite drinks on ice. It's well built, does not leak, is thick enough to hold some weight yet still easy to move around. I like the look so much, was thinking of getting one to use in the garden, will make a nice decorative piece.

This is a very sturdy stainless steel bucket great for filling with drinks and ice and keeping close to your side for those summer events. I fill mine with various flavors of Ole Smokey Moonshine, (Mint Chip, Caramel, Root Beer, Cookies & Cream), the idea is to keep these as cold as possible and this does the trick for sure. Saves me from running inside to my freezer every time someone wants a little Ole Smokey. It does not leak as of yet, but it seems they all begin to leak eventually so we'll see. All in all, this is a great drink bucket.

I currently have 2 galvanized beverage buckets at home, and when I saw this pop up and it looked very similiar, I decided to pull the trigger since I thought it would be nice to have a total of 3. Unfortuantely, this bucket is much smaller than the current 2 that I have, even though they're supposed to hold the same amount.This bucket can literally only hold a 12 pack of beer, or maybe 2 bottles of wine/champagne. So if you're only having a small get together, this will do the job, but would not work for larger gatherings.I did see a little but of a design flaw, as when you look inside the bucket, you can see all of the glue lines at the bottom, which is a little displeasing to look at. However, since this will be covered when ice when in use, it's not too much an issue.

I got this with the intent to use it for my upcoming wedding to hold bottles of sparkling wine. The metal itself is thinner than other galvanized style buckets I've used before. It doesn't necessarily feel like it will break but I do see potential for bending if not careful. It is smooth along all of the edges so no concerns for getting cut on anything. The handles are small so if it's filled with ice, it would be better to hold the sides of the bucket in your hands rather than holding it by the handles. I don't know if I trust the sturdiness of the handles to go up if you tried to pick it up by them. On the interior of the bucket, there is a very obvious, thick line of glue or some kind of sealant along the base where it meets the bucket sides. I have yet to fill the bucket with ice or water to test out this seal so I am unsure if it will leak - I will update this review when I can test that aspect out. It does make me heavily question whether this would be safe to use as strictly an ice bucket to scoop ice for drinks. I don't see how the sealant would be safe to touch something that you will be drinking so I am only planning to use it to keep bottles cold in ice. All in all, it's only okay because of these features based on the price. I think you can get better options elsewhere that are even more affordable than this.

After only several months it starts to rust and now it leaks. I don't recommend this product.
