Carlisle FoodService Products26-Quart Commercial Mop Bucket with Side-Press Wringer, Precision-Molded Polypropylene, Durable Wringer, Bucket with Non-Marking Casters, 18.5 x 16.5 x 23 Inches, Yellow

I purchased this mop bucket as an Amazon used/returned item. When it arrived I could tell the original packaging was damaged a bit and taped back together, but nothing too serious. Fortunately, the bucket was still brand new -- there were no signs of use or damage. I'm glad I saved $20 by ordering a used item.The bucket is quite sturdy and a good size for household use; it's not too big and not too small. I mop an area roughly 400 sq-ft which includes a kitchen, dining room, hallway, and two bathrooms.The dimensions are as follows (see pictures):- Height (including the wringer): 23-1/4 inches- Height (not including the wringer): 14-7/8 inches- Length: 18 inches- Width: 14 inchesThe wringer can easily be lifted off the bucket and placed inside the bucket (for storage), which minimizes the overall height.There is some assembly required, specifically attaching the wheels to the bucket. I have read some reviews that say the wheel posts (i.e., casters) are too big to be inserted into the bucket/spacers. This is not true. Granted, they are difficult to insert…but this is by design. Their fit must be really tight, otherwise the wheels would simply fall out of the bucket or the bucket would not be stable. Keep in mind this bucket holds 26 quarts of water, and a quart of water weighs about 2 pounds. So that's approx. 52 lbs that the bucket has to support on its wheels.For assembly, besides reading the assembly directions, there are some tricks to inserting the wheels into the bucket:1) After inserting the spacers (using a mallet or hammer) all the way into the bucket, use your hand to press the wheel posts (i.e., casters) into the spacers as far as they will go.2) Use a mallet (or hammer) AND a driving rod of some sort; I simply used a 2x2 piece of wood (about 10 inches long) that was laying around my garage.3) Place the driving rod onto the flat part of the caster (see pictures). Do NOT try to pound directly on the wheel, otherwise you will break or bend the wheel and/or caster and/or bearings.4) Using the mallet/hammer, you must really pound on the driving rod to get the wheel post to sink all the way down into the spacer. You can't be gentle. You must really smack the driving rod with your mallet/hammer as if you are pounding a large nail into a piece of wood. Once you hit the driving rod with the mallet/hammer, rotate the wheel 180 degrees, reposition the driving rod, and then smack it again. Repeat this process until the casters are snug against the spacers.5) When inserting the casters onto the front of the bucket, be sure to support the bucket's wheel supports (see picture) to help prevent breaking or damaging them.

Works great. High quality

Needed a replacement mop bucket, found this one, figured it would be great to get a different color one for cleaning out bay. Bucket was a little smaller than your standard industrial mop bucket. Had to install the wheels when it arrived, was well packaged. Well made and sturdy. Been using for a few months now and still just fine. Good valve for the price. Color blue is very nice. Just given 4 stars due to the size.

Everything about this bucket is high quality! Being able to choose the color is a nice perk. I bought this and it arrived the next day. I have not used it yet & will update soon. Two things: the wringer needs to be held closed before you remove the zip ties due to the spring being very strong and tight and will snap open and possibly cause injury to hands. I read about that in the reviews and it is true. Second thing mine was missing 2 washers and one nut I don't believe it will diminish anything about functionalities at all and I don't mind going to hardware store to replace them. I have been using wringer buckets for over 25 years. I used the Ace Hardware buckets and I absolutely hated how cheap, unsturdy plastic, handle and wheels would fall off and tip over too easy they were. Today was like Christmas for me when I took it out of the box! Good professional quality buckets are Hard to find. This is that 110%I clean houses for a living so I need a good sturdy bucket that won't tip over and cause untold expensive damage. It is heavy though and I will have to adjust in time. It also is bigger than I expected which is okay too! The pictures in the reviews don't really help gauge actual size.

Good

I bought this in February 2018, so it’s almost 2 years old.And I say this is a pretty good mop bucket! It’s Very sturdy, all the wheels still works awesome, the lever still way good and the handle still works awesome as well!! I say it’s holding up pretty well to the beating I’ve given it. Now I just need a new mop head, to get this darn white glare off my floors... 😬🤯I just finished re tiling my home this weekend “1,200” sq ft. And I used this mop bucket to clean up the excess grout. So this it what it looks like all dirty and stuff. I love the red, but I’m Sure the reason mop buckets are usually yellow is not only because it means caution, but you don’t see all the dirt marks and discoloration from chemical cleaners as bad.It’s hard to tell from the photos, but around the basket part it kinda has became less red and less bright red almost to a dark pink color.Which I don’t care it does serve it’s suppose and it has held up pretty good.But I wanted to let you know what happens after a year or 2 with these colored mop buckets. Isn’t yellow a standard color mop bucket?! 🤷🏼‍♀️ And how come the color holds better on yellow mop buckets or is it this brand that is the problem?! Lol. oh well I still love this bucket

If you’re one of those folks who think you can’t get stuff clean if your cleaning tools aren’t neat and clean, skip this product. It’s one of the worst packaging I’ve ever seen. The top part comes loose inside the main bucket, so it gets all mangled up and scratched from shipping. The squeezing lever is slightly skewed and I had to actually clean the thing before using it. The brown version is almost black, not milk chocolate brown like in the photos. It’s sturdy, yes, but unless someone notices the packaging is improved, skip this. It was a miracle it wasn’t broken on arrival and would’ve returned it if only because I took several months to unbox it in the middle of a move. Very unhappy with this piece of mangled scratched plastic.
