Excellent Product

We used ours all winter last year in an outdoor shed for my daughters miniature horse. 4-5 months of uninterrupted service & still working this winter! This is an excellent product. I have and will continue to recommend it!

No more dealing with frozen buckets

It's nice to not have to worry about chipping ice at 6:00 in the morning. I know when I go out to do chores that the water will be ice free.

AWESOME

I have 6 of these buckets I have had for 5 years and this is the 6th season I will be using them. I tuck the cord away in warmer weather so I use them year round. I must say I am not too gentle with them yet I have never had a problem with them not working in winter. Great price and convenience. Sure beats busting out ice from rubber buckets like I used to before I bought these! I love them.

Works for only a couple months.
Date:February 4, 2011
I purchased 5 of these heated buckets. Never dried out. Never mistreated. Used inside the barn only. So far this season 2 out of 5 stopped working. Great idea but they don't last very long. Keep your receipts.

Great!
Date:August 19, 2010
We have two big dogs that stay outdoors year-round (don't worry....they sleep inside at night!), and we bought one of these last year to prevent their water from freezing up during the day. We are extremely pleased! The bucket keeps the water from freezing (not even a glaze of ice on the top), but also keeps it at a tepid temperature rather than "heating" it. This was a lifesaver for us on days when we weren't able to make it home during the day to break up their icey water.

A must have for cold weather
Date:February 4, 2010
This is a must have in cold weatehr. Never deal with frozen buckets again! Keeps the water at a temp the horses prefer. Now my horses will drink down the bucket each night. Easy to use...just plug in .Cord stores nicely in a compartment on the underside of the bucket when heating is not required.

So far so great
Date:February 4, 2010
I recently purchased two of these and they work as stated. The cord is protected by a coiled wire and you can tuck the unused portion in the base. The bucket appears sturdy and well made. I will update this review if my opinion changes.

look for other options
Date:February 4, 2010
I have 2 of these buckets, both have been replaced, only because i can't find another brand/similar type. I take good care of them, I don't let the water run out, I don't submerge them, I handle them carefully but they seem to last only a season or 2 and they just "stop" working. You come down one morning and the water is frozen! If you have the set up to try something else, I would give it a whirl.

Great Product
Date:February 4, 2010
I was amazed at how great these buckets work. I have 2 horses and the store only had 2 buckets in stock. I put one in each horse stall along with one regular bucket. My regular buckets froze solid in a couple hours. However, these buckets remained ice free. They are great!
