Question 1

Trying to match the dimensions ... I assume this is 18" high, 12" wide and 15.5" deep. Is this correct?

Accepted Answer

Actually the "boxey: part of the container is 15-1/2" high and 12" wide.  If you measure from the back of the container to the furthest point on the front (bottom of the lid) that is 18-1/2".  They just fit under my upper kitchen cabinets.  I have two and thought initially that I would stack them, but I have them side by side.  There is wasted container space because, if you fill them more that 2/3 full the stuff spills out as the opening is so low.  To get around this, when more than 2/3 filled, I set them with the longest side down, and when I use enough that it won't spill it out, I use it as pictured.

Question 2

Is this container rodent-proof? Meaning, is there any way rodents could chew through this plastic?

Accepted Answer

NO, it is not rodent proof. The lid of mine was partially chewed through, destroying the cover and gasket. My dog scared the squirrels/rats away before they got all the way into the container, but they did make it useless and the next day I had thousands of ants who found their way into the container.
Although the company says the lid and/or gasket can be replaced "on line," it is difficult to find the right size. I was not able to find the gasket itself online or at any hardware store.

Question 3

I am looking to replace the o-ring seal in the lid. Anyone know where I can get one to fit?

Accepted Answer

I need to replace the gasket on my lid too. It took a few years, so I'm still very satisfied with the product.

Question 4

Has anyone had a problem getting rid of the plastic smell inside?  I washed and soaked with baking soda and it's still there.

Accepted Answer

This probably won't be any help at all but the reality is the plastic itself smells and that it just has to go away with time. If you've washed it and are sure it's clean I'm sure it's safe for your animal food. But I've had mine for two weeks now, placed a large bag of dog food in it and had no issues with the smell...
