Handy Folding Bucket 12L/20L, Portable Collapsible Bucket for Plumbing, Cleaning, Camping, Hiking, Fishing

A god send to people that keep fish!!! I ordered this as I recently acquired a 90l tank- a big step up from my other 25l tank. I have a python siphon but not an extension to make it suitable to take water directly from my tap to do water changes. My room isn't close enough to my nearest bathroom and since I maintain my tanks by myself, it's quite difficult and I'd previously been carrying small tubs (an old haribo plastic tub) of water to and from my bathroom, meaning it would take around 4 or 5 trips on average to do a roughly 70% water change on my smaller 25litre tank. I realised very quickly that I wouldn't be able to do this when I got my bigger tank, so I needed an alternative. I have 2 plastic bins in my bedroom, but one carries 8 litres and the other one even less than that. I didn't want to accidentally poison my fish by putting fresh water into plastic bins that may have been contaminated despite me cleaning them out beforehand... these just weren't suitable. Plus, even if the 8l bucket was clean, that means I have to do 2 or 3 trips to make up one trip with this collapsible bucket. After researching on Amazon and reading reviews, I found out that this was the cheapest competitor and bought the blue 20litre version. It has been AMAZING. I am able to sit next to it on the bathroom floor using my shower head to fill it up. I put a thermometer in the bucket so can monitor the temperature, meaning the fish won't get shocked when i pour the water in. I then put 1 drop of dechlorinator (1 drop treats 20litres exactly so this is very efficient and easy for me to do... there's a bottle on ebay for £4.99 which isn't diluted unlike every other company- it treats 14,000 litres! for 4.99!!!) and then can carry this bucket back to my room. Since it's collapsible the downsides are if I'm not supervising it, it can easily collapse on itself, but actually after using this a few times it's easy to set it up so you won't risk the chance of that happening. The bucket itself is made from superior quality, not once have I felt the straps may snap under the weight. I'm a 5"7 18 year old woman and fairly weak so it's not easy to carry the 20l but I'm never ever concerned that it will break. The lining is more than adequate and so i don't THINK it can get pierced and leak, but I would be more careful placing it on uneven surfaces if you're camping etc. It is very easy to wipe clean and I am certain it will last for years to come. I am very, very happy with my purchase. I cannot stress enough how useful this has been for me. I'm now hoping to buy another bucket for camping or taking to the beach! Filling it up with water from the sea before leaving the beach, then walk to your car, wash your sandy feet, then pour the water away, fold it up and store it in the boot of your car! I never thought i'd get so excited talking about a bucket. tl;dr if you have pet fish or want to go to the beach or go camping BUY THIS RIGHT NOW!

Absolute space-saver! This collapsible bucket is surprisingly sturdy, completely leakproof, and folds down to almost nothing. It’s the perfect, functional solution for camping or small apartments. Five stars for convenience and quality! That said I used mine to store tools and bits n bobs.

These are very handy and versatile buckets at a good price. They seem well made and really allow you to position the bucket if awkward spots where a rigid bucket cannot easily fit, for example between pipe work under the sink. They fold up relatively small and are durable.

Handy storage for the car boot. Work well in our boot for all the stuff that collects in there, essential things according to my husband! I like that they are waterproof as he has spray bottles of screenwash in there so if it spills it it contained. Can't really say how long the handles would last if carried a lot the attachments seem a bit weak but we don't carry them so they work for us.

Great folding bucket to use when you don't have the access or room to carry a plastic bucket. I bought this foldable bucket to keep in the boot of my car so I could use it when I'm out and about to clean my car, I paired it with a rechargeable jet wash and I use both to clean my brand new car if it needs it. It is well made and holds a lot of water and the carrying handles seem really robust, all in all a great purchase.

I used to use several large rigid plastic buckets for filling and draining my fishtanks, and I thought they were a bit of a faff. Although I thought these foldable buckets were as much as a gimmick as the "leak-proof foldable water bottle" I once had the misfortune to buy (spoiler... it wasn't leak-proof), I thought I'd give these buckets a go. Originally I bought one blue and one orange (both 20L) for clean and dirty aquarium water and you know what? They really work. The fact that they collapse (folding is perhaps a stretch, unless you folder them and then stick them inside something else to keep them folder) means they don't take up tons of space and can be shoved into any old place. Plus, they are easy to fill if you have an awkwardly shaped sink or inconvenient placed taps as you can just bent the bucket. Simples! The 20L size is actually smaller than my original buckets (some which were 42L) which belatedly I found is a good thing - it might mean more round trips to the drain or garden planter, but it does mean you don't fill a massive bucket with water and then try to manhandle it downstairs or lift it above the level of a tank to refill with clean. There is one major downside though - because they aren't rigid, it is very easy for them to collapse. If you put them down on a surface so that part of the bucket is overhanging... well, it isn't going to say upright for long. And again, not rigid, so when they do collapse and you try to catch them - well, that won't work either. So if you don't want 20L of filthy fish water coursing across your floor and down your stairs... make sure you always stick them on a flat surface. Long term, I don't know how long these will last given the base seems to be glued into the sides, or how long the handles will hold. However, I've been using these buckets for around 6 months now and am very happy with them. In fact, I bought some more orange buckets to speed up emptying of big tanks.

Perfect bucket to make myself a foot bath in and then stow away for later. Have used it several times, no sign of wear. It's great that it's flexible enough to shape and be able to fill enough for a foot bath by using a fairly small bathroom sink, and when I pop my feet in there are no hard edges. Size is perfect for my use, handles work great for easy carrying between rooms, and I think it was great value for money.

Very handy for plumbing.
