Customer Reviews for HOMZ 17 Gal. Rope Handle Tub in Black (2-Pack)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great for toys! Comes with handle to make moving it around easier. I love how it’s wide enough to fit just about anything. I wish the durability/quality of it was thicker so it can last longer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These buckets are big and perfect for storing kids toys or ice/drinks for a party! They are a little taller and skinnier than similar buckets I've had in the past, but the base is still very wide so there are no concerns with it tipping. The plastic is also not as thick as most and is somewhat flexible instead of rigid. I think this is actually better since it seems less likely to crack. The rope handles are the standard type for a big bucket and feel strong. I would certainly have no concerns filling it with tons of ice on the ground...I'm not sure what the weight limit is when lifting with the handles but they feel strong enough to handle that also! I would recommend these and am already putting both buckets to good use with toys!

THIS IS A BIG BUCKET! This is the mother-of-all-buckets. They don't get much bigger. There are a million things you could put in this bucket to make your life easier. It's from a company called HOMZ. I looked it over and Homz stands behind their product by having their name molded into the product. I also noticed, molded into it, that it's made in USA. It's a green color. I see black and purple are the other choices. The green is more lime-ish than the avacado-ish one on the webpage. The color is not an issue for me. It has handles made of nylon rope, the handles seem strong. The only question is how it will hold up to a few hot summers. Time will tell if HOMZ has endurance. Like I said, a million things you could do with this. Even plant a small tree. If you had one of therse, a day would come when you were glad you did.

These are great. The color is nice and bright green which happens to be one of my grandson's favorite colors. We are using them to coral all of our grand kids balls and outdoor toys. The handles are basically just a decorative piece. I would not trust them with much weight at all but that is ok. The grand kids love them and definitely will not misplace them...lol

We got this storage tote to use for harvesting garden produce. It has been the best thing ever! Wish we'd had these years ago instead of using multiple smaller (and harder to carry) buckets. The size is excellent, and the handles make carrying even heavier loads super easy. We did an initial rinse of picked veggies in the tote, then tipped and drained. The tote also cleaned up super easy! Just take the garden hose and rinse it out. I don't know if the product designers thought it would be an aid to gardeners, but the tote sure works for us!

These storage totes are good for just about everything, storage included. I use them for gardening , weeding, and pruning because they are light weight, easy to carry, and hold a lot. I don’t have to pull or push a cart around. The rope handles are easy to grasp. These totes can be used for just about anything, from laundry to gardening. I’m very pleased with these storage totes. They are very handy.

The 2-pack of the HOMZ 17-gallon rope handled lime green storage totes were larger than I imagined. I used one of the tubs for holding my pool towels and the other tub as a decorative planter for my Florida avocado tree that I grew from a seed. The tubs are sturdy enough to tote around lightweight items, however, I would not try to carry very heavy items as the plastic is thin, bends and handles are not attached that securely. I was able to carry the plant from the yard to the patio with no problem using the rope handles. I do think they would be very good for storing toys, gardening, iced beverage cans, plants and/or washing the car. Lots of uses, if you need a larger tub!

These Tubs have been around since they started thermoplastic molding 7 or 8 decades ago. Pretty simple and basic. these are great for holding large quantities of loose items. Some use them for kids toys, shoes maybe even laundry - although the size could get a little unwieldy for the latter. But lets be honest, whenever you see one of these, it's usually at a deck party or some other affair holding ice and beverages. And for that simple purpose, I'd give it 5 stars. But there's a real problem with this and it concerns the handles. Most of these have rope handles being held by a knot through the holes. NOT THESE. The manufacturer decided to save 2-4 cents on the nylon rope by just cutting the rope with heat and flaring the ends while it was still hot. LET ME EMPHASIZE - THESE HANDLES ARE STRICTLY DECORATIVE. If you pull up to your friends house for a deck party, pop your trunk and fill this with ice and cans, be prepared to grab them as the handle fail half-way down the drive way. I have attached photos of my trial run that explains it all. BOTTOM LINE: Fill it when it's in place and what ever you do, don't try to move it until it's empty. As for mine, I'll run to the Depot and get a dollars worth of rope for new handles and used the time proven knot method to hold them on. WARNING: I've read reviews of people carrying their toddlers in these - that's an awful big risk.

These tubs are great to store toys, parts, tools, or just about any other item that may not fit easily on a shelf or in a drawer. 17 gallons is large enough for most storage purposes and with the rope handles they are easy to move around (the handles are held in-place by heating the ends of the nylon rope to form a "mushroom" that is larger than the hole diameter - could be a weak point if carrying heavy loads in the tub). For the price and considering there are two tubs, it's a great value. Recommended.

Storage needs solved. I use these buckets for storage of basketballs, soccer balls and outdoor toys of all kinds. The bucket is big enough to hold most things. I have also used them for gardening projects. The bucket is not the thickest plastic. With weight they flex. In most cases, no big deal. The handles do present a concern. The end that passes through the hole in the bucket is heated to the point where the end of the rope mushrooms and flares out. This is what retains it. Only time will tell if this is going to stand the test of durability.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like these large storage containers a lot. They are very practical, I can store many random items in them. They are made of durable materials, so I'm not worried that they will break when I'm carrying something heavy. The handles are comfortable for the size of my hands (more on the smaller side).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tubs are huge! I can see so many practical uses for these; pool toys, party coolers, can collection, toy bin, blanket bin, etc. The handles are super handy but I am not sure how much prolonged weight they could bear. The bins are a great size to handle so many different applications and the material is thick enough to handle the job. I look forward to using these in so many different ways, for now they will hold pool toys!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these for my Living room to help tame all the random toys my kids have and it’s been stellar. They’re super deep and wide and have been great. But it’s become a one stop for imaginary play from my kids. A way to stack all the laundry and a great place to store all our throw blankets. Only wish they had more color options!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These buckets are super deep and very heavy duty. I have several really heavy items in one of them and its holding up just fine. The other one has a lots of small items in it and gets moved quite often. The ropes are very durable and are also holding up quite well. No fraying or ripping any where. These buckets are very versatile and great to have around. Very highly recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tubs a great for a variety of purposes. The storage options are really too numerous to list. I am using these tubs as toy boxes to store my son’s toys. They work great. They are strong , sturdy, and very durable. They hold up to his rough play very well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly what I needed. Nothing fancy. Just some solid tubs that won’t break easy and have good rope handles. I’d definitely buy these again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These storage containers were meant to be for in home storage such as my extra blankets and throw pillows. I am using one for that purpose but seeing the durability of the materials, the other has been taken outside to hold pools toys etc. Really great quality and a multi use item.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my storage containers and I’m using them for my kids toys in the garage and also in their playroom. The rope handle makes for an easy way to carry and move around. The 17 gallon size is also great for storage. Another idea I thought come this summer was to store pool toys.

This bucket is of the perfect size and it’s very convenient to use. It holds all the toys for my kids. Also it’s made of durable materials and it’s of high quality. It can also be used to store water for car wash and also gardening/ plant watering! Love this product a lot!

Good for the price. Pay more for a more robust one.

We used this for beverages at a party and it worked perfectly! Now we are using it to organize garage clutter.

Great tubs for use in an elementary school, they're housing lunchboxes in them so they aren't sitting in a pile on the floor! These are very study containers.

A little more (bigger) than what I'd hoped for but perfect for its purpose nevertheless.
