Rubbermaid, Sterilite, or Iris?

[Tek48]

I'm going to be purchasing a rack for my BPs soon, and I was wondering what kind of tubs you guys would recommend.

i like iris tubs. they are nice a flat on the inside. it makes cleaning them a breeze

Depends on how many tubs you plan on having. I tend to go with Sterilite because I have easy access to them (walmart and target don't seem to change the model they carry too often) and they're a little bit cheaper in cost than Iris and Rubbermaid. A couple bucks per tub won't make much difference if you're only buying four of them, but it adds up pretty quickly if you buy a lot.

Iris. In my opinion there isn't a tub that holds up better over time or is easier to clean.

Iris, more durable than sterilite. I have no clue about how durable the rubbermaid are.

where do you all get your iris tubs? cheapest ive seen is office depot 6x33x18 for 13.39
walmart has 41qts for 6.99
I would definitely use iris if i could find them cheaper though

I haven't actually used any myself, but the Iris tubs I've looked at in the store seemed really thin and flimsy, like they would crack very easily.

Not in my experience. Sterilite cracks the easiest, then it's probably a tie between Rubbermaid and Iris. Out of the 3, Iris is the easiest to clean and they don't discontinue/change sizes constantly.

Personally I love the Iris tubs. I have them as well as Rubbermaids and Sterlites in our collection and in daily use for a few years now. The Iris just seem to stand up better over time. Having a perfectly smooth interior they are easier to clean and when you are doing multiple tubs, any time savings is a blessing as far as I'm concerned. I do like the glass clear look of the Iris tubs as well. When I peek into the front of a tub in a rack I can get a bit better visualization of the snake within.

I tend to get my Iris tubs at OfficeMax. I haven't had to get any recently but that's where I found them last time I looked around here in Toledo, OH.

X2 The sterilites i used to have, the sides were very flimsy.
