I purchased this milk transport pail because I hand milk five goats twice a day and needed something to carry milk back and forth from the barn to my house. I love that it_ easy to carry and really easy to clean. One thing I noticed was when it was brand new out of the box it had a gray/black film all over it, which was unpleasant but it easily came off with some good hot water and soap. I didn_ notice it on the inside. It arrived faster than the estimated shipping time, too. Overall, I am very pleased and would recommend this for hand milkers.
