18-Gallon Floor-Mount Utility Tub for Laundry or Other Uses - El Mustee 19F Utilatub, 34" x 20" x 24"

Micah: My washer was draining into a stack pipe which was smaller than it should have been. The drain in my 100 year old home was not able to keep up with the output from my washing machine. To address this, I cut the laundry stack pipe and connected this sink so that it could drain at its own speed. It solved my drain backup issues.

d: Had problem with legs not staying in after hammering in place, solved by using epoxy on four legs where they attach to tub, then drilling eight 1/8" holes thru tub into legs and riveting, then cut eight 20" pieces of aluminum angle and cross braced all four sides, now it is built sturdy, no wobble at all.

C. Grooms: Not a whole lot to say other than the fact that it's a solid, functional laundry tub. Tub itself is high quality and free of blemishes/defects both to the tub and the molded drain basket.

Was a little confused during unboxing when I removed the legs from the box. Only counted two and scratched my head looking for the other set. Turns out that they are packed in two sets of two stacked atop one another in the package in such a way that you might have to do a double take. Legs are a mid-gauge steel with a grey powder coat finish that appears adequate to withstand rusting for many years. The leg levelers are a thick plastic with 1/4" holes in the bottom for anchoring to the floor. I ended up leveling the tub in the location I wanted to install it, mocked up my plumbing connections, marked my holes, pulled the levelers from the legs, set the levelers in place with Tapcon screws, set the tub and legs back over the levelers, bolted everything back together and re-leveled. You could probably avoid this partial disassembly by using wedge anchors but I wasn't going to bust out my SDS drill for a laundry tub.

This tub replaced a 40 year old tub that was a little larger than...

Jade Chandler: Only owned this tub for 5 months but so far so good. Product is exactly as described, easy to assemble, sturdy. Bought this to replace a larger, older utility tub which never drained quite right and the rim of the front had pieces broken off. This tub has metal legs, and seems made of much sturdier plastic than the older one. I don't expect this one to crack and chip. It was easy to level and drains just fine. The holes were perfect for me to take the old 2 handle faucet off and put on. I looked at tubs in the stores and they seemed to be cheaper (cheap materials) and were much more expensive than this one. Yes it is on the smaller side, no the drain is not very large, but this is perfect for hand washing clothes, cleaning paint brushes, overflow from washing machine, and perfect for my space.

Shawn: I've been using this for just about a year now. For the price it's probably the sturdiest laundry tubs available. In a previous house I had installed a cheaper laundry tub and regretted it.

The only think I don't care for is the built in faucet holes as I used a wall mounted faucet. I covered the faucet holes with a piece of puck board and silicone.

It's great for cleaning up after home brewing.

Jeremy Mahowald: As plastic laundry tubs go, this one is top notch in quality and appearance. I searched the home improvement stores and they are cheaper versions, this one has metal legs. This Mustee tub is a must have in a laundry room. The pre-drilled faucet holes are 4" apart, made for a bathroom fixture. I wanted a higher neck swivel faucet and a sprayer, so I put in a single handle kitchen faucet in one hole with a sprayer on the right side. I had to make the hole a little larger to accomodate a kitchen faucet, so I used the Neiko titanium step bit to do that which made that a piece of cake to do (also bought on amazon). Of course, you can just buy a bathroom or laundry tub fixture and you won't have to do any of that, depending on what you want. It does not come with a drain kit, but I had a plumber install this anyway, which wasn't too expensive.

I looked at getting a stainless steel laundry sink, but I'm glad I didn't spend the extra money. The Mustee laundry tub on amazon was a very good value, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
