ice buckets usually don't last long - they start to sweat, drip and even have the outer coating stain. so far, I have used this bucket for the Christmas holidays and New Years - ice kept cold and did not melt and ice did not cling to the other ice in the bucket to form ice clumps.

looks good, works well, would buy again

I really bought this ice bucket o get the tongs. Over all, for the price, this
ice bucket is a very good buy. Except for the plastic inner liner it is very well made. The inner liner could have been stainless steel like the outer
shell...then, it would have been perfect.

I wish we had more American made products to choose from.

Love this ice bucket. It is sleek, functional and the ice didn't melt during our gathering long into the night. LOVE the ice tongs and holder...not one person had to ask me if I had any tongs as they were in plain view attached to the bucket. The ice was truly in the same condition at the end of the gathering as it was when I put it in the bucket hours before. I would buy another of these ice buckets for gifts as it is really nice.
