A guide to Rubbermaid products
If you think Rubbermaid is a company which only makes plastic food containers for storing leftovers and taking on picnics, you need to think again. Rubbermaid has a variety of products to meet your needs for food and beverage storage, waste disposal, Tupperware storage, and kitchen organisation.
Rubbermaid means kitchen diversity (at least to a point)
Products for home kitchen
Rubbermaid has more products for the home kitchen, than most of its other competitors. For example, you can use the Rubbermaid mop to clean up spills or the Rubbermaid storage bins for home storage organisation.
You can also use Rubbermaid carts for storage maximisation, Rubbermaid coolers for travel, shelf space for around the house and even, sports bottles for spill-proof drinks
The Rubbermaid website for a full list of their around-the-home products is Rubbermaid.com.
Rubbermaid's products for storage
You might notice a theme in Rubbermaid's products. Regardless of where in the house it would be used, just about every Rubbermaid product is for storage, right down to their trash can cart.
This is not a bad thing, though. Rubbermaid's pieces are designed to save space and do so very effectively.
By far, the most useful Rubbermaid products are their stackable containers for the living room (in the form of plastic drawers) and the laundry room (in stackable baskets).
Consumer satisfaction of rubbermaid products
So, Rubbermaid has a ton of products. Thus, you should decide which ones should you buy, and which ones you must not opt for.
Reviews from consumers
Firstly, Rubbermaid food storage, which is what the company is best known for, gets very high reviews on most consumer ratings websites.
For example, Consumersearch.com gave Rubbermaid their top rating for producing storage.
The Rubbermaid spray mop (more like a Swiffer than a standard wet mop) gets high reviews by consumers and is just as effective. Unlike the Swiffer Wet Jet, it is much less expensive and easier to clean.
Disadvantages of their products
There are some things, however, that Rubbermaid is not as good at producing. Their water bottles are very inexpensive and prized for their durability, but aren't the most intuitive and are usually only found in kids' lunch boxes.
Rubbermaid also offers a whole line of outdoor prefab storage facilities, but, Rubbermaid is not a home improvement company and if you buy their prefab outdoor storage spaces, you'll evidently see why.
Rubbermaid has many products to choose from, but you must not be overwhelmed or misled by what there is to choose from.
You can stick to storage and cleaning (what they do best) and you're sure to have a high quality product.
