Home depot vs. Costco 27 gallon storage containers
I'm in the process of renovating and reorganizing my garage, and wanted to do a quick comparison of these home depot containers vs. similar containers from costco.
Good: Either of the containers should work fine for general storage. And the price of both (around $9 per container) is pretty affordable.
Bad: Of course the two containers are slightly different dimensions so they don't stack nicely. Specifically the Costco containers are slightly longer and wider so they won't fit on top of the Home Depot containers.
Ugly: Home Depot seems to be manufacturing these as cheaply as possible which is noticeable by the thinner/flimsier top, and the plastic pull-off defect on the underside of the lids...

Mobile Bike Rack
Просмотров 4484 года назад
I wanted to do some improvements to my garage (mainly drywall and painting) so I wanted some way to keep my bikes in the garage but still be able to easily get at the walls when needed. My son helped me build this bike rack over a couple of weekends. It works pretty well for the intended purpose (organizing bikes) instead of my previous solution of just having a bunch of bikes all leaned up aga...

    Costco is the better choice, especially right now that they've been on sale periodically. Superior build quality as well. Hands down the best in every way.

    Costco's always a better choice you don't have to deal with the idiots at Home Depot . I like that at Home Depot they have signs saying have a question ask one of our professionals . If they were professionals they wouldn't be working at Home Depot . What kind of plumber or electrician would walk away from $100,000 plus a year job to work for crap wages in a dead end job ? A very bad one someone you wouldn't wanna take advice from . Home Depot has become the Walmart of hardware stores , poor quality cheaply made merchandise but without the low price.

    Sunova biscuit. I bought a few of those HDX’s from home depot for some home storage. I’m a bit OCD when it comes to getting matching stuff but damn I’ll sacrifice OCD for better quality and value with Costco.

    After using both for a while I prefer the Costco for a couple reasons. 1st the Home Depot totes have a burnt rubber smell and the totes from Costco don’t. I always wash the totes from Home Depot and let them sit outside to air out. After about a week the smell goes away. 2nd I prefer the extra width and length of Costco. I can get more things in there with the extra room. 3rd the lids stay on the Costco totes better. If you have arthritis this could be a negative though. They both do the job fine though

  • @SAR0311

    At my work we use dozens and dozens of HDX 27 and 55 gallon totes pluse a few smaller ones here and there. In a bind we tried other bands from other stores like Wal-Mart, Lowes, Ace, Tractor Supply Store, and Atwoods. None of the other brands have ever held up holding heavy media, hardware, water, stacking, sliding, dropping, and general rough handling. I'm curious how the Costco totes handle side bulging, cracking, splitting, and chipping and trying to hold too much weight.

    Looked high and low for a foot locker style trunk to store my daughter's dress up clothes. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxRkkpE1_3gMEZ2mPhAt6b2moNCUXyH8tG I had one growing up that I stored my Barbies in and wanted something sturdy like that for her costumes. This arrived really, really quickly and is exactly what I've been looking for. Perfect size, color (pink) and has stood up for nearly a year so far against my kids using it as a chair, stage, and barricade (😬) to keep each other out of their rooms. I'm probably going to order another one for my daughter's Barbies.

    I bought 30 of the Home Depot totes for moving and have been using them for storage for ten years now. They get used and abused all the time, not just filled and left for years in the attic. These are the best totes I have ever owned, by far. We have a couple of the Costco totes that my wife thought were the same thing. They have not stood up at all and have been relegated to Christmas decorations duty because they don't hold much weight and can't take moving them around more than twice a year.

      @chaselesser3191 7 месяцев назад

      Ok. This makes me feel better. I don’t have a Costco membership. But the HD bins have been on sale for $10 sometimes. And that’s what I’ve been buying.

    • @riscobo8240
      @riscobo8240 2 месяца назад

      Yes, absolutely HD ones hold up better. They can stack 5 high with considerable weight in each. They can also store things outside without leaking, unlike others.

    An interesting point - look at the walls of each container. You can see the Home Depot container's walls have "steps" that go all the way to the bottom, whereas Costco's container only have partial steps. These steps serve to strengthen to the walls of the containers as opposed to the walls being completely flat. Assuming that each container is comprised of the same thickness and strength material, I'd say the Home Depot container would be stronger at least in this regard.

      The Costco are actually a little more durable. I have both and prefer the Costco for that extra width. Plus the Costco totes doesn’t have that burnt rubber smell. I always wash the Home Depot totes and leave them out to dry and air out for about 5 days. After that the bad smell is gone

    When you think about it the 50 cents price savings adds back up when you have to pay for a Costco membership compared to Home Depot which costs nothing to shop. Just a thought.

    • @nnotof3218
      @nnotof3218 2 года назад

      That would make sense if you're paying for the membership just to purchase these. If you have a Costco membership, you most likely buy other things from them.
