How much does it really hold? Would a 50lb bag fit in the 55 quart container?

I also bought the 67 pound one, and 50 pounds doesn't even fit into that, although it's close. The 40 pound bags for that size are perfect because there's plenty of room for the scoop, and it can still be closed tightly. Given that, the 55 quart would be too small for 50 pounds for sure. My last answer was incorrect... I thought I had the 55 quart container, but I don't. I am sorry about my mistake.

I sincerely doubt it. I bought the 67 quart version, and I put in a full 40 pound bag of Kirkland Healthy Weight dog food in it, and about 4 pounds of what was left in a Science Diet bag of dog food (changing my dog's food). With about 44 pounds of dog food in it, there was about 3 1/2 inches of space left at the top. So, I'd say 50 pounds of dog kibble would fit, just about exactly, in the 67 quart bin. The kibble I put in it is a smaller size kibble, too.

Yes, I have had no problem. If they make a 50 lb. bag size, then you & I will be out of luck. It will be fine.

I just put a 40 lbs. bag of large kernel dog food in it. It fit the whole bag.

You can keep flour (5lb) in its original bag in the 4 quart. I tried it today.

We keep ours in a 35 gallon Rubbermaid container and it just fits. I don't know the weight, but it is fairly heavy. If I had to guess, I would say 50lbs+.

It should hold a 15 ML. Most of mine are 10 ML, and it holds them easily, but I have one 30 ML that I managed to get into it--it's a tight squeeze and makes the bag out of shape to zip, though, so I wouldn't really recommend it for the 30 ML.

I only used it to store 24 lbs of dog food. It was just over half way full. If you are keeping this container in a place where ants have access, I would not recommend using this container. I recently got rid of mine, because for the third time, ants made their way in. Not thru the screw top, but thru the plastic piece that holds the screw top. I even duct taped it shut, to no avail.

I purchased the 4.3 quart (135 1/4 ounce) and it is certainly big enough to hold a 5 lb bag of flour. It is really quite large... I use it in the refrigerator to keep my oil for deep frying clean and chilled. I have a deep fryer that takes two full bottles of vegetable oil and storing that in this container only fills it up to about halfway. I just can't imagine that you couldn't get the flour in there.

Yes, it would. We store 50lbs of dog food in one just fine. Lid easily unscrews with one hand.

Ruthie, I keep mine in a 1 gal jug. I am not sure it will all fit into one 5.5 qt.

I do not use my stackable bins to hold dog food. But the 32 qt container I have for dog food holds 25lbs.

Hi there. These bags were mis-sold as 50L for a while by a number of dishonest sellers. The highest capacity this bag goes to is 36L, which is still roomy enough for the staff here at Epic! Hope that helps.

I m not really sure. The primary size was incorrect. I know it WILL (in the main compartment) hold at least 3 one gallon milk jugs. This would equal 11.36 liters. Plus you would still have room left over. The larger outside compartment should hold a 2 quart GI canteen, or very close to it. The other compartment maybe half that much. All in all, it will hold MORE than enough for a day, even an overnighter. IF you pack right, with the right gear it will suffice for a 3 day pack. PLUS you can strap other packs/pouches to it. I couldn't be happer. It is a VERY good Get Home or light Bug out Bag. I have approx 15 pounds in mine already and the main compartment is not even half full. Hope this helps Ya. I m not really sure.

I use it for a 50lb bag of large kibble & still have room left over. It tapers & gets a little bigger toward the top.

I would assume it would. I buy a 25lb bag every month & there is some room to spare after emptying that into it. This is a good quality container, made in USA, which is hard to find these days.

For sure, it does not hold 40# (Science Diet Lite Dog Food). I usually buy the 33# bags and it cannot hold all of it---but it will hold about 3/4 of the bag. Hope this helps you Brittany.

I haven't had it full as yet. But, it should hold possibly the whole bag. I use it more for pancakes and waffles.
