How much does the bucket hold? (The answer is not 50 pints / 6.25 gal. Can anyone give me the real answer please?

While I haven't actually measured the bucket/hopper, I would estimate about two gallons. The other measure is capacity over a given time period, not in any way related to how much the bucket holds (as you probably already know based on your question).

I only use the bucket, however in the manual it says: you can use a 12 mm hose to attach to the connector (which comes with the unit) - Hope this helps!

I have never measured. I think it doesnt quite hold that amount. Close but not quite.

I do not have a 5 gallon bucket handy at the moment, but it will hold an item 15.75" tall and 21" wide. I would guesstimate by casually looking at the cabinet that it would not quite hold one.

hmmmm... not sure, but I'd estimate 30? We have had the same bucket for over a year and it is still half full. They really do work, though. :)

There is no measurement listed on the bucket itself. The description indicates 3.5 gallons which seems about right

It holds about a gallon. The problem with this kitchen compost holder is the design to the interior bucket handle. Try pouring contents out the square v. the round end of the container. Don't hold it by the handle or it will break.

It WILL hold 4. If you try to pick the 5th, it most likely will fall. The bucket is 5 1/4" dia. and 5 1/2" deep. Not much room, but seems to be good quality. It worked good for me, but you may want to rebend the hooks.

I would ballpark it around 30 liters. You could easily put a 5 gallon bucket in the pack, probably 1 and a half 5 gallon buckets.

ProPur has a King which holds 4 gallons. I also carry another line which has a 6 Gallon capacity. Let me know which interests you and we can chat more.

It holds exactly 1.6 gallons. Will run about 10 hours at 25% load. See my review.

If I remember correctly, its supposed to hold 6 gal. I only put 5 gal in to give room to expand due to heat as we used it the 1st. time in Death Valley where it was over 100. I have it mounted under the bed cover with the 2 Honda Generators. The lid was up for air circulation.

I'll be frank, it doesn't matter how many pints it holds, it doesn't work. I collected about a teaspoon of water after leaving it on several days. I would say it's capacity is about one pint. I ended up spending the big bucks to actually dehumidify my bath. Hope this helps your decision.

We used 12 5-Gallon buckets and there was still plenty of room. I think in the description or one of the reviews it recommends a certain amount of sand.

I can't answer that question but here is what I can tell you about the lid. It is quite light weight and seems well designed. It does take some persuading to get it to snap onto a standard 5 gal. paint bucket but once on it won't easily fall off. Handle it with reasonable care and it will likely last for awhile. My only complaint, and it is significant, is that instead of making the lid of a durable plastic they made it of a brittle plastic and the lid on mine cracked on the first trip. Admittedly it was packed on a burrow for a rough ride but still should not have cracked so easily. The seat remained useable but the lid had a six inch crack through the middle. Hope this helps.

I think along the way somewhere I read it was one and a half gallons. But taking into account the filter and feed tube I doubt that its much more than a gallon capacity. I know with mine set at high would run around 8 -10 on a full tank. The only way to know for sure would be to measure the water you put in it. But since mine died on me I cant do that for you. Hope this is some help.

I do not know the exact amount of gallons but I would say maybe 25. It is pretty sturdy. We store all of my 6 year olds balls and outside toys in it including roller skates and trucks.
