“I had heard the tales from near and far of this so-called Bunnings bucket. So I stepped up and got the bucket! The legends are true, it’s next level to have one of these.
“I notice women look at me differently now and the blokes respect me more now.”
Many have shared images of the infamous Bunnings bucket holding pride of place on the family couch, dining chair and the back of a ute.

Here’s our pick of the top reviews:
“Wow. The legends are true. This bucket does far more than just bucket,” said one reviewer.
“Paired together with a set of drumsticks, these make fantastic drums. The sound and tone are perfect for drumming ensembles and with a small piece of cloth taped to the top of the drum surface to dampen the sound you have an amazing bucket drum.
“Do yourself a favour and buy a whole set so you can have drumming parties with a group of friends out the back with a few beers and some snags on the barbie.’
“This is more than just a bucket,” said another reviewer.
“Love the girth of this one as opposed to other 20-litre offerings. The lid is perfectly fitting and reliable not to leak.
“Smooth to seal the lid and easy to remove when necessary. The colour makes it stand out from the crowd of buckets I already have and I believe this purchase has been life changing.”
One reviewer went to the trouble of compiling a poem for the bucket.
“Oh, humble Bunnings bucket, sturdy and true. In your vibrant orange hue, you shine through,” they wrote.
“A vessel of versatility, a symbol of might. With you by my side, tasks take flight.
“In gardens, you gather weeds with pride, As I till the earth, side by side.
“With paintbrush in hand, you hold my dreams. Bringing colour and life, it truly seems.
“From mopping spills to carrying loads, You never falter, no matter the roads.
“Oh, Bunnings bucket, a friend so fine. Reliable companion, rain or shine.
“So, let’s raise a cheer for this humble soul. The Bunnings bucket, making life whole.
“A beacon of resilience, ever ready to aid. In you, dear bucket, we find our trade.”
“Attention, fellow bucket enthusiasts! Feast your eyes upon the legendary Bunnings 20L bucket, a miraculous marvel that puts all other buckets to shame,” another wrote.
“Its colossal size will make you feel like a puny ant in comparison, while its durability laughs in the face of feeble, flimsy imitations.
“Prepare for bucket greatness, my friends. The Bunnings 20L Bucket is here to show you what a real bucket is capable of.
“Bow down to the bucket supremacy and embrace the bucket revolution! Your world will never be the same again. Bucket on, my comrades!”
“After reading the review ’That’s not a bucket this is a bucket’, I just had to have my own Bunnings bucket,” one said.
“Although didn’t get the joy of walking into the store, but instead did a click and collect, [I] got to watch my helpful Bunnings staff member carry it to my car and place it safely in the boot. (He got to bask in its glory before I did, but it has plenty to share around.)
“Now my neighbours get to look on in awe as I pull out the Bunnings bucket to wash the car every week.
“This thing stands out way more than the trusty old one I had and holds way more of that soapy goodness that makes the car shine like new again.”
“This is a champion bucket for the farm. I have used it to move blue metal, and nearly full it does not break,” one commentor said.
“On my Kubota compact tractor, I have the loader loaded with blue metal, soil or stones, and four to six full Bunnings buckets on the carry-all as a counterweight.
“I recently swung a Bunnings bucket of rock into my wheelbarrow, and broke the tray on the wheelbarrow! The bucket is fine.
“I’ve used lots of buckets in my time, and never had ones like these. Please, keep making them!”
“Such elegant simplicity, poise and grace,” another reviewer said.
“My bucket is merely a holder of liquids and solids alike yet within the realm of cylindrical holders it is crowned king and queen simultaneously.
“Handle works as it should, but when my chubby little sausage fingers grasp its plastic hilt sparks fly and my imagination is transported to a land where I imagine all the items I could hold within the crevasse of excellence.
