BellemainStainless Steel Ice Bucket with Lid - Double Wall Insulated Ice Bucket for Cocktail Bar, Parties, Buffet - Bartender Ice Cube Holder with Drip Tray, Tongs - 3 Liter Large Ice Container

I have always wanted an ice bucket to use for parties and special events, so when I saw the Bellemain 3 Liter Insulated Stainless Steel Ice Bucket, I decided to finally get one. I can definitely say that I am impressed! The first thing I noticed was the quality of the ice bucket. It is made out of stainless steel, giving it a sleek look. Because the ice bucket has a double wall, it prevents any sort of condensation and keeps drinks cold for hours! Now I don't have to worry about condensation causing damage to my tables or just making a mess. Also, it is so easy to use. I just fill it up with ice and drinks, and if I have to move it, I just pick it up by the handles. Everything about this ice bucket is so nice, from how it looks to how well it works. It just looks so fancy sitting out with drinks in it. And even better, it never looks messy with fingerprints (it hides fingerprints!) The set also comes with a pair of tongs, making serving drinks look fancy. I am so happy with this ice bucket and can't wait to keep using it, especially with the holidays coming up!

I have only used this ice bucket once, but it did get a workout. We used it for a teen-night potluck. It kept the ice frozen for several hours while the teens engaged in activities. The tray in the bottom kept the ice separated from the very small amount of melted water and didn't slip when the kids were scooping the ice. The bucket was also easy to refill. We didn't use the small ice tongs (used a plastic scoop instead). They just weren't practical for the occasion, but they will be very nice when we entertain a small group. The ice bucket is a practical size, is good-looking, easy to use and very durable. The tongs are unique, attractive and look like they will have a good grip.

Bought for a small dinner party and it was PERFECT. Kept ice in a 75 degree room for more than 8 hours. It's nice looking, stainless steel. Not really huge, I believe the ad says 3 liters and that looks about right... There is a slotted plate in the bottom that keeps the ice from slushing around in melting water. It does appear to be double walled. The tongs are probably the least of it - they are bit tinny... but they work. I hand wash. I will update if new info would seem useful.

I read reviews that it small, but it was the perfect size for my bar area. The only complaint that I have is that the grate at the bottom to separate the water from the ice moves around easily when you put ice in and will flip around easily, defeating the purpose of having it. Not a major issue, as I put the ice out quick, but still is a bit of an irritant. Still, it keeps the ice super cold for while.

This ice bucket is perfect. Looks great and is so functional There is no condensation and the little removable tray keeps the ice out of any melted ice--water. There are even little tongs that work great. Very easy to clean and nice quality of stainless steel. I almost bought a crystal one instead and so happy i did not. This was cheaper, has a lid, no condensation and keeps the ice intact for hours. I used crystal glasses instead for the party! Definitely you will be so happy to have this.

A nice addition to any bar / serving area. This does hold ice for a substantial amount of time, considering it is being opened frequently. A very nice finish to it and appears to be durable so far.

Purchased last minute for a large party (over 50 people) we were hosting and was not disappointed. The ice bucket held a good amount of ice -- we didn't even need to refill! Ice stayed ice all night long into the morning. And the bucket did not sweat at all. Comes with its own tongs and a drain plate that sits in the bottom of the bucket. Style is neutral enough that it can work for any occasion -- casual to formal. Definitely worth the money. This is the one to get for a nice all-purpose ice bucket.

My wife told me she wanted an ice bucket with tongs. So I went to Amazon and started nosing around. I settled on this one for these reasons. 1) Its size - some were too small - this was the perfect size; 2) Its look - the wife keeps telling me how beautiful it is; 3) The double wall insulation - the ice doesn't melt as fast; 4) It came with tongs; and 5) It had what I can only describe as a perforated tray in the bottom that allows melted water through - so that your ice cubes aren't sitting in water and sticking together. As for the wife? She loves it. Mission accomplished.Happy wife - happy life. 'Nuff said.
