API® Heated Bucket | Heated Water Bucket for Cattle and Livestock | Heated Flat Back Bucket | 20 Quart

I bought this over a year ago and it is still going strong. We recently had negative temperatures and the water never froze. Highly recommend. Incredibly durability and effective. Worth every pen y and then some!

I bought this and put it on my front porch for my two large German shepherds because they leave a puddle of water every time they get a drink. Water freezes on my porch in the winter but this heated water bucket stops the water from freezing Plus it has a flat side so I can stick it against the wall so there's less of a chance for my dogs to knock it over. It's a good performing product, it's a decent price I seen it in my local Rural King store for $15 more. Note I do have a doggie door

Love this bucket. Hold the water without ice.

It's not a thick bucket however it's not thin either. It's working great. It has been below freezing for 8 days now, but did a few modifications.1st---I purchase a temperature controlled outlet adapter that turn the outlet on @36 degrees because it does stay on as long as it's plugged in. (Had to make a modification to that because our outlet is recessed by adding an adapter) Our temps can swing wildly. One day is 40 the next in the teens. I get busy and forget to unplug it and our dogs don't like the water heated up.2-- we placed the bucket with the flat side to the house. This alone will help it to freeze much slower but also we have a rambunctious young male dog who is playful. He used to turn over the old bucket. The flat side against the wall stopped that.3--- My husband dug a 10" deep hole size of the bottom of the bucket and filled it with 4" of rocks. This helped to insulate it and force the heat upward instead of escaping the sides. Even in 8 degree weather the entire bucket was ice free. If you dig it a little too big around, just pile and pack the dirt tightly back around it when you are done to help seal it off. Don't bury it too deep and make it hard for dogs to drink out of. rocks under the bucket are for drainage to keep from drowning it out if you over fill the bucket and the ring of dirt that around it becomes saturated.No more breaking ice for me!

Bought two buckets Dec. 22. Used them through the winter then stored them in bags when it warmed up. Started using them again two weeks ago. Yesterday one came off the hanger. Ear broke completely off one side and broke enough to slip the hanger bracket on the other side. Thought the horse may have knocked it until this morning when I checked the other bucket. In the pics see how one of the three pillars supporting the ear is broken! Only a matter of time before this buckets hanging ears break-completely. I never totally fill the buckets. These have been half to 3/4 filled while is use. Obviously, they can’t handle the weight. Junk plastic!! Poor design. Not built to last!! Buy one that will last. Had another one on order until I saw the second bucket was about to break. CanCelled!!

Finally received the bucket. It is made of good material. Very sturdy. Took a long time to receive and I am looking forward to seeing if it was worth the wait.

Worked perfect.

I just had to order a new bucket today, 8 years and 4 days after we bought the first one. It was still working as well as the first day we bought it (the water never froze), but the ground tine/prong on the electrical plug broke off.Needless to say, I highly recommend.

As advertised. Works well

Très bonne chaudière chauffante! Mes animaux l’aiment et moi aussi!

little big for what I needed,,,,,,when full water heavy but excellent as described

This bucket is like a standard ROUND bucket. The photo has probably been stretched/skewed. I bought it because I thought it was a wide and shallow bucket, better suited to small animals.
