This container is great! The bigger container is perfect size. We bought a 15lb bag of dog food and it fits perfectly. I would not recommend buying a bag that is more than 15lbs. There is a little room
Left at the top but I do not believe it is enough for the an extra 5 lbs or more. The smaller container fits perfectly on top of the bigger one. With a little cut out to secure the top to the bottom makes it easy to move around. The smaller container is perfect for bags of treat, toys, scoops etc. These containers worked out pefectly for us and we will probably buy another one or bigger one, if they have one, when we get another dog. I definitely recommend keeping the pet food, whatever size you get, in the bag while in the container because it makes it easy for clean up and ensuring that all the dog food is used.
I'm using this for storing a 50lb bag of bread flour and it's perfect. I store the flour in the bag for easy removal at the end of the bag, and so I don't end up with stale flour at the bottom. Slightly flatten the unopened bag before lowering it into the bin (so it doesn't bulge too much at the bottom). The bag will extend past the top but the flour will settle so that you can trim the top of the bag so it's flush with the top of the bin (picture shows the untrimmed bag inside the bin, but the flour is settled enough to trim down flush with the bin). It's a close fit but works. I wouldn't expect it to be truly air tight, but it's pretty close, and much, much cheaper (and for my space, much better proportioned) than any commercial flour bin.
I purchased 2 of these, 1 for dog food and 1 for cat food. It is massive. I could easily fit an entire bag plus some for dog food. For the cat food, it was just way too big. We exchanged for the smaller one for the cat and kept for the bigger one for the dog, but the sheer size surprised me. I love the wheels on it. It seems sturdy. Haven't had any issues to date. Moves easily around for us. It does save us room though, despite the large-ness of it. I think it will keep the food fresher longer than just staying in the bag, but I wouldn't say its airtight by any means. My dog doesn't care though. He eats his own poop, so fresh dog food isn't really important. My cat doesn't seem to care either, so win-win!.
