Orig price is $122.00???? This is stupid.
Who on earth would pay the original price of $122. For a plastic laundry basket. Absolutely ridiculous this is even on this post

Great basket
This basket is awesome! It is super durable and well made. It’s really easy to wipe down. I love that it has the curve to rest on my hip. This makes it easy to carry with one hand and the other hand being free to carry other stuff. It is sturdy and has lasted me a while.

Sturdy But Handles Do Break
The sturdiness of these baskets is long lasting, except the handles. They do eventually break. Maybe don’t use big loads. Easy to clean. They do fit on the hip. If you have back problems, I would not recommend though.

Wonderful and durable little laundry companion
I have been lugging my dirty clothes into the basement using this basket. It does the job and does it well. Never a moment had I felt that the basket would give way to the weight of all the soiled clothes I stuffed in it. No assembly required!

Could be nice, but handles always break
I have a 3 of these laundry baskets. They are decent but have 1 major flaw: the handles are poorly designed and always end up breaking. Same exact failure mode on all of mine.

Great
I love that this basket has three handles so no matter which way I need to hold it, it works! The plastic is strong and long lasting. The handle grips are comfortable for my fingers and palms to carry larger loads.

Strong and sturdy
I keep it in my laundry room . It holds a lot of laundry and with the handles it makes it easy to transport laundry to and from the laundry room. It’s strong and sturdy and it’s very light

A home basic must have!
Everyone literally needs one of these! I had a rolling cart for years in my closet and kind of forgot about your original Rubbermaid laundry basket and once I realized I was stressing myself out carrying loads of laundry by hand room to room and dropping things I picked up one of these. I’m so glad I did, they just make life easier and are certainly durable.

Its great
Perfect for my laundry. The curve in the basket is perfect to hug my hip when I carry my laundry to the laundry room. Its good and sturdy. Not to heavy.

Laundry with comfort
The Rubbermaid Hip Hugger laundry basket is a simple but well-designed staple for laundry day. The curved “hip hugger” shape makes it comfortable to carry, even when the basket is full, and the sturdy handles feel secure. It holds a full load easily without feeling bulky, and the durable plastic holds up well over time. Practical, comfortable, and reliable—this basket makes hauling laundry much easier.

Nice but not durable.
This is a nice basket, it's good for carying with one hand on hip. I have two of them. But the durability isn't great. After a few years the plastic on the ends of the handles starts to crack and the handles come off.

Very tough
I love this laundry basket.. My washer and dryer are downstairs in my home and it sits perfectly on my side as I'm goin down the stairs. Also holds up when I toss it on the concrete floor. I also let it slide down the stairs when it's empty and it has not broken yet.

Big, Sturdy & Honestly Handsome — My Rubbermaid Hi
Let’s talk about the Rubbermaid Hip Hugger Large Laundry Basket — because not all laundry baskets are created equal, and this one deserves some praise. Shape & Design: The hip hugger shape is genius. It’s wider at the top and gently tapers down, making it super easy to grab clothes without fumbling. It also fits perfectly in closets, laundry rooms, or next to the washer/dryer — no awkward angles or bulky feel. Material: Made from durable, flexible plastic, this basket feels like it could survive a minor earthquake. It’s not flimsy, flexes just enough to carry full loads, and stands up well under constant use. You can tell it’s made to last. Storage: Because of its shape and lightweight design, it’s easy to nest these baskets when they’re empty — perfect if you want a couple stacked away without taking up space. It doesn’t warp or bend, so they stack neatly every time. Stability: Even when it’s full, this basket doesn’t tip over. The wide top and solid base keep everything balanced, which is huge when you’ve got a mountain of laundry staring you down. Plus, the handles are deep and comfortable to grip — no hand cramps after multiple trips up the stairs. Maintenance: Easy peasy. Just wipe it down when you inevitably spill something (it happens), and it looks brand new. The smooth plastic surface doesn’t trap dirt, so the occasional rinse or wipe is all it takes. No weird crevices to deal with. Final Thoughts: Rubbermaid Hip Hugger Large Laundry Basket = reliable, smartly designed, and hassle-free. If you want a no-nonsense basket that actually makes laundry feel a tiny bit nicer, this is your pick. 🧼✨

I love it!
It's big, I like it because it fits all of a week's worth of clothes in it. I also have another one for my children's clothes and I love it. The material is good; my kids use it as a toy car, haha. I love it!

Product arrives with black dust all over it and the bottom was scratched up like it had been used.

Measurements are misleading!
This is about 27” wide at the handles, not 21”! 21” might be the interior width for calculating volume. But more importantly, it’s too wide to comfortably carry through my narrow doorways, so I’m returning.
