A must for the winter!
Bought this bucket right before the really cold weather hit and so glad I did. My mare doesn't drink as much when it is so cold and I'm always concerned about colic. This bucket is a bit larger than I expected but it seems to have a thermostat
that seems to maintain a constant temperature. The only problem was I was told it had a six foot long cord and it's really only about four feet. I had to use and extention cold which I don't like in a barn.

Best Winter Product
Warm food in the winter for the horses. I make up the beet pulp, put it in the heated bucket to sit and serve the horses two warm meals during the winter months. Love not having to carry the buckets up from the house.

No Frozen Water Buckets
I live in the mountains at close to 7,000 feet in elevation and the temperature drops overnight into the teens on a regular basis. My mini's stall is on the north side of the barn and her water bucket kept freezing during the winter. I purchased the heated flatback bucket to try and it arrived the day before we had three nights in a row with the temperature below zero. The bucket did its job and I never have to worry about her not drinking enough water due to it being too cold.

OK product
The bucket is a nice size. My only concern is that it is the only heated bucket in the barn that does not have a ground. I probably would not have bought the bucket if I had known the cord was not grounded.

EXPENSIVE
This bucket is wonderful but so are the others on the internet for $29.95. Same bucket, just blue instead of green. BIG price difference. I would recommend Jeffers Equine for the better price.

Good bucket for the cold
I have been buying all the heated buckets I can get to try good ones for the winter. I really like this one. The cord is in a holder under the bucket. Nice and neat and so big and heavy duty.

Just what we needed
Actually using this as a doggie water bucket in their fenced yard. This is kind of expensive, especially since I'd love to have two or three, but it sure does the trick. Was 15 degrees this past week, and water stayed watery!
The bottom of the bucket is a beeotch to get off the first time reveal the cord, but since I don't see doing that very often, I won't complain too much.

Great Winter Bucket
This is a great winter bucket. Due to the design with the pouring lip, my horse does not crib on them. What a great feature! If you have this problem, you know how annoying it is. Since not only do they destroy buckets, make obsessive wind-suck noises, but they also spill water which then creates ice in the stalls!!!

My best friend in the winter!
I love my heated water bucket! My friend recommended it to me, so I bought one: It keeps the water comfortably warm to drink, and it never overheats! I will never be caught in the winter without one of these again. My horse drinks SO much more water in the winter with this bucket, which is very important! The only downside is that the buckets grow algae pretty quckly, so they need to be scrubbed every couple of days, which is a minor nuisance! :)

I love this! It doesnt overheat, so I am not afraid of my horse being shocked. He auctally drinks the water out of it! And it makes morning chores so much easier now that I dont have to smash ice out of buckets!

Exactly as advertised
Love this bucket. There are lots of heated buckets out there, but this is the only one I found with a place to hide the cord, which is safer and makes the bucket easy to use all year round.
I've only had it for a month, but we've been having some unusually cold weather here in North Texas and this bucket has helped keep my 28 yr old horse with easy access to non-frozen water. Critical for an older guy.

So far, so good
I've only had this bucket for a few months and so far I am very pleased with this purchase. I like the sturdy quality of the bucket, the cord is long enough, and it works well keeping the water at a temperature that my horse likes.

Well Worth the Price!
I also resisted heated buckets, but my husband bought one for each of our horses' stalls as a "gift" to me. He often thinks outside the box, so he decided to fill the heated bucket with a couple inches of water and set a regular bucket inside the heated bucket. It's brilliant! Not only does it keep the water inside the regular bucket from freezing, it made it SO easy to remove the regular bucket for dumping, refilling, and cleaning. I won't go through another Michigan winter without these!

No more frozen buckets...EVER
I resisted using heated buckets for years since I was worried about the possible fire hazard. But when I found myself going to the barn 4-5 times a day this winter to break ice in my horse's buckets, I decided it was time to give these heated buckets a try. I am SO glad I did. They keep the water warm no matter the temperature (it has been sub-zero and the buckets did not freeze), but they do not make the water so hot the horses won't drink it. They also have a safety shut off so they don't overheat. Definitely a great purchase that makes life a LOT easier!

Works like a charm
We have several boarders in our barn that use heated buckets and this particular bucket is the best of them all. The buckets work as they should, the handles are sturdy (some brands have a different type of attachment that can break off), and the fact that the cord can be stored in the base is genius! We can use them year round without worrying about the cord. We have also found that the storage compartment allows us to customize the length of the cord based on how much distance is between the bucket and the outlet. For buckets close to an outlet (or extension cord) we can tuck the extra length of the buckets cord in the base, no more extra cord for the horse to reach! Great.

Perfect!
I love these buckets. I've owned heated buckets before, but these are definitely the best I've had. They don't make the water hot, but they prevent it from freezing which helps to ensure that my horses always have access to water.

Worth the Money!
I love these buckets. They are worth the money! Not only do they make my life easier but the horses prefer the warmer water. I've put a plain bucket and a heated bucket in stalls, they drain the heated bucket first! A great invention! I've also purchased the muck bucket sized (16 gallon) for my pasture horses.

Say goodbye to icy buckets!
These buckets are sturdy, use very little electricity, hold plenty of water and eliminate icing-even at 10 below. I no longer have to worry about colic due to lack of water intake in winter.
