The IRIS 74-Quart WeatherPro bin is designed for users who want to see their stored items without opening every container. The high-clarity polypropylene body offers 92% light transmission, making it easy to identify contents at a glance. This model features a urethane foam seal in the lid, which provides a helpful barrier against household dust and moisture in typical indoor storage settings.
The design includes a geometric taper that allows the bins to nest deeply when empty, which can save up to 40% of floor space. While the transparent plastic is convenient for inventory, it is generally more brittle than opaque polyethylene. In temperatures below 40°F, the material's resistance to impact decreases, so it is best used in climate-controlled areas of the home rather than unheated garages.
- BPA-free construction, making it suitable for storing kitchen items or toys.
- Buckle latches that provide a secure hold for contents like blankets and pillows.
- Clear walls for quick visual identification of stored goods.
Specifications suggest a maximum static stacking load of 25 lbs per unit. Because the latching mechanism is not designed for extreme tensile loads, it is recommended to lift the bin by the base rather than the lid-rim when it is filled with heavy items.
For a more rugged, non-transparent option that performs better in freezing temperatures, consider the Rubbermaid Roughneck 40-Gallon Totes.
