I’ve had several of these buckets for the last 5 or 6 years. They do an excellent job keeping the water warm during the winter months. Not too warm but certainly warmer than the water in the unheated auto waterer. They’ve held up fairly well. We’ve had to replace the plugs several times because the barn employees are tough on them, they want to yank on the cord instead of holding the plug when they pull the cord from the socket. Other than the plugs, I usually expect to get about 3 years use out of them. I really like the fact the heater is on the outside of the bucket, located inside a compartment on the bottom. Does do some damage to the cover when the bucket full of water is dragged across cement in order to empty and clean. Not sure if it would be better if the compartment was on the side, but that might be a hazard for the horse. I’ve used the other type where the heating element was inside the bucket and there were lots of problems . Compartment

I don’t have heated waterers in the pasture my horse and donkey are in so I got this to not have to fill up the small green heated buckets as often. Funnily enough even when it isn’t freezing outside my horse seems to drink out of this more often I think the because of the blue color. I have had for about a month and it seems to be working well. It is a great size.

Year after year we use these out in the fields. They only use 200 watts and horses consume more water. The electric is concealed unlike other similar ones and never allows an electric shock like happened to us with another brand. Love these!

I bought 5his before the last snow storm at a low of 13 degrees. It worked well. This storm got down to 5 degrees. It still worked, no ice and the temperature was comfortable. I have them for my horses and for our dogs when we are outside. I am very pleased with this heated bucket. Sipping was good too. I find it works just as well as the green ones if you are wondering.

I waited until bitter cold to write this review–not only has this water bucket eliminated the need to chop ice, I am assured my horses are never without water. I now see each horse drinks 8-10gal/day, and because water temperature is maintained, they continue to hydrate (IMPORTANT-horses that drink less due to freezing water can run risk of colic). In addition, this bucket has solid walls yet smooth inside–helps reduce algae AND easy to clean, unlike a cheaper model with clunky heating element inside the bottom of the bucket! I removed all 5gal hanging buckets and keep this one on stall floor in the corner — works so well I may continue when summer comes to save from back-breaking lifting.

Love this heated water tub! I had the same one for 25+ years before it needed replacing. I had trouble finding this particular one, so I bought another brand, that has the heating element in the bucket. It wasn’t as easy to clean and it kept the water too warm! My horses wouldn’t drink from it. I was SO happy when I found that Smart Pak had one of these in stock, so I bought it right away and it arrived quickly. I love this size because I only have one horse and one pony and I like to change the water daily, and this allows me to easily do so. It keeps the water above freezing but not warm. Horse and pony approved!

Haven’t used it yet. I’m sure it will work just fine.

The 16 Gallon Heated Buckets are a Winter game-changer! I have had these buckets for 4+ years now and they are still in great condition! These buckets are the same size as an average muck tub and keep your horses’ water from freezing. They give me so much peace of mind knowing that my herd is never without water. I also no longer have to break ice throughout the Winter. I have two of these buckets set up in my horses’ run-in shed. I love that the electric cord is covered in metal to help prevent animals from chewing on the cord. Best of all, they are great quality and have lasted years!

I’ve been using these buckets for about 6 years now, and they do an excellent job of keeping water warm during winter. The heater is smartly placed outside, though I’ve had to replace the plugs a few times due to rough handling. Despite some wear from dragging it around, they last me about 3 years.

My horse and donkey love this bucket! They drink more water, even when it’s not freezing, thanks to the design. It’s been a month, and it’s holding up well.

This bucket has been amazing for keeping water unfrozen through freezing Colorado nights. No more constant ice-breaking! I love how the heater is concealed so my curious mare doesn’t mess with it. This product gives me peace of mind.
