This is a review for the large 50lb size.
PROS: It is the perfect size! The photos I have attached have a brand new, full 40 lbs of large kibble dog food and there is plenty of room to spare. I actually had about 1/4 of the previous bag left and put that in there too (not pictured) and it still fit just fine. The plastic is a decent quality, I pushed and pulled on it and it seems respectable for $25. It has molded handles on each side for easy lifting - if you can lift 50lb of food :). I don't have a 2nd one (yet) but the shape of the base allows for the small door to still open when stacked. Some people have complained of the small door not latching well, but mine has a nice strong 'click' when closed so maybe it varies or they've fixed the design?
CONS: This container is definitely not airtight, as advertised, however the seal is decent in my opinion. It does the job to keep dog food fresh but I question it's ability to keep small pests out. I keep this indoors and I don't have a pest problem in my house so I can't speak to that 100% but I would guess certain small ants or mites could possibly get through the seal of the larger lid if you were to keep this outside or in a barn/shed.
Overall I'm very satisfied, it is exactly what I need! And since I expected this to not be air tight from reading previous reviews, I'm not taking stars for that. But I do feel they a being a bit loosey-goosey with the term.

Flimsy and Not Airtight, But Useful for Tight Spaces!
This is a slim container that can easily fit your typical 15-18 pound bag of pet food into a surprisingly narrow (6.5" wide) space! This makes it great for storing under cabinets and in tight places, such as in RVs, campers and small apartments.Unfortunately, the container is also very flimsy. The top does not seal very well at all points and the body of the container is far more flexible and thin than it should be. The manufacturer could definitely make this a better product by simply adding a little more material to the unit.Additionally, the options for opening/accessing the food are not ideal for everyone.The most convenient opening, a flip-up door at the top front, is really only good for pouring as the average person would not be able to fit their hand into it. Unfortunately, the container is so flimsy and flexible that the pouring function isn't the easiest either.The design also means, for people like me, who do not intend to "pour" from the container and instead need to scoop out the food in order to measure it, that you have to unclip two latches on the sides to lift the top each time you use it.It's an acceptable trade-off for the versatility of the unit and being able to store it under my cabinets out-of-sight, but several other products provide a much more thoughtful way of accessing the food for traditional scooping, so if you have room for a slightly wider container, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere.All in all, this is a very basic and rather cheaply made container that fits in places where other containers can't. If slim storage is your main concern, then this may be your best choice.However, if you're looking for something reasonably attractive with a highly functional design and a much better build quality overall, take a look at the fairly similar Buddeez containers. I much prefer everything about the large (22 lb) Buddeez container compared to this one, but it won't quite fit under my particular cabinet due to its slightly wider dimensions.

When I received this the small blue lid was laying in the bottom of the box. I put the lid on and it was warped enough that it did not touch the foam seal in the front. I tried bending it by hand, even using a heat gun to make it more pliable, still to no avail. Upon further investigation I found that the foam seal on both the small lid and large lid had a quarter inch gap at the ends where the foam doesn't meet. I may not be the smartest kid on the block but even I can figure out that a gap in the seal makes it NOT SEAL! Pictures included showing the gaps in both seals. Since I am also an impatient man I didn't want to go to the hassle of packing it back up and shipping it off so I got out the super glue and went to work. There was enough slack in the foam seal that I was able to put glue on the ends and glue them together so there is no longer a gap. I then put super glue on top of the foam for the little lid, clamped the lid down to the foam and am now waiting for it to dry. Yeah I can't open the little lid but that doesn't matter, at least it is air tight now like it should have been in the first place. Edited The Next Day: After letting it sit over night to let the glue dry I filled it with 50 lbs of dog food and attempted to close the lid. Obviously the weight of the dog food made the box buckle slightly and the lid would not even close without some extensive maneuvering and then guess what the large lid does not even touch the foam seals. In other words this is not as advertised and is not air tight.

Holds food well. Closes well. Seems reasonable thick and durable. The 22lb bin i ordered is perfect size for a 15lb bag of dog food. Shown is nearly a full bags worth, minus a couple meals.
Im glad it doesn't come with wheels. I don't know why anyone would want wheels on their dog food container, but this was one of the only options without wheels..
I dont know if this bin will put a plastic-y taste onto his kibble, but if he seems less keen to eat, I have no doubt i could just slide the whole bag in there next time. That way itll still be sealed but the food can stay in its bag. Either way works for me.
Side note: Scoop not included, thats just his old puppy wobbler we use for portion control.
