★★★★☆
Beautiful container, but a very, very tight fit for a 30lb package of Fromm in the bag. The 15lb bag fits much easier.
Pros:
- Looks gorgeous - the nicest looking pet food container I have ever seen
- Sleek design that you can fit almost anywhere
- Definitely keeps food fresh longer than closing the bag with a clip
Cons:
- Very expensive - seriously, the price for the XL model is outrageous
- The metal is quite soft, and the first one I received had a dent in it out of the box. It comes in a giant package, so returning that was not fun. The second one I received also had a dent, but a much smaller one, and I decided I would just live with it instead of dealing with the hassle of returns again. Considering the price I really do not think this should be happening.
- I wish the shape were a little different - I mostly buy 30lb bags of Fromm dog food, and in order to get the whole bag into the container I really have to wiggle it around and compress it to fit. If the container were just a touch wider that would not be a problem. 15lb bags slide in with plenty of room to spare (that's a 15lb bag in the photos)
- The wheels are pretty much useless - I just pick it up and carry it somewhere if I need to move it
Overall I do feel that this container could be made even better with a couple of improvements, but based on its looks and the way it keeps dog food nice and fresh I really would not hesitate to recommend. However, if I had to do it over I would probably purchase a smaller size container and switch to ordering 15lb bags of kibble, since I prefer to keep the food in the bag when storing it. Getting a 30lb bag into the XL container is such a hassle that I'm not sure it's worth it. Also, the XL container is quite deep, so you really have to reach in there when you get to the bottom of the bag.
