I had one of these as an outside waterer for livestock but the interior of the tub cracked after the contents froze during a winter power outage. The tub would not hold water and I had to discard it within the first season of use. I have had similar problems with the smaller flat backed buckets made by the same manufacturer (though they did last into the second season) but the same firm makes wonderful heated pet bowls which I can heartily recommend.Editing this review in December 2012, I have upgraded my rating because a second 16 gallon heated tub from this manufacturer is entering its 3rd season and is still working well. I have just bought another one but found it much cheaper locally in a farm store than on Amazon.

I bought this bucket for my two Great Pyrenees, who drink water like horses. This year they will be sharing it with a llama and two emus. Sixteen gallons is a hefty amount and needs refilling only once every two days (I had the heated 3-gallon dog bowl, large, but it needed refilling twice every day for the two dogs).The bucket has been in constant use for almost 3 years, but I do unplug it in the summer, of course. We get down to temps of -25, so it has its work cut out for it (I believe it heats to 40 degrees)The llama tends to chew on the rim, but it seems to be holding up fine. The cord has wire wrapped around the entire length, so it doesn't get chewed up by the geese, ducks, or llama (all three of these types of animals have been hard on previous pond deicers, chewing through the cords in record time). I bought 3 deicers before buying this bucket, hoping I wouldn't have to spring the money for it as it's 3x more or so than a plain deicer (I bought it at my local feed store and it was more expensive than the one on Amazon right now).

I have used these buckets now for about 10 years. They keep the water slightly warm when the temperature is below freezing which encourages my horses to drink and hence reduces the risk of colic. No more chunks of ice cluttered around the drinking area to slip on and no floating devices for playful horses to toss out of the water bucket.
