Anybody using the polycarbonate 55 series tubs from ARS?

[Ambassador]

I'm looking to pick up an ARS 5540 and I'm trying to decide between the semi-clear tubs and the newer, and completely clear, polycarbonate tubs. Anybody out there running the polycarbonate version that can give some feedback on how they like them? Issues with feeding, hides etc..

Thanks!

I haven't used them personally....
they look similar to a lot of the tubs you see in the food industry. I've also used something similar looking while working a big box pet shop.

If it IS the same type of material.... It'll be easy to clean and sterilize. Obviously very easy to see the animal in, so good for qt racks.
They can be scratched but typically takes a very hard item to do it, vs the standard which can sometimes get a rough texture if you scrub too hard on it. The downside would be that they are easy to break corners on if you drop them the wrong way, so you can't throw them around like regular tubs.
