Bucket for water changes

What kind of container do you use when doing water changes? Just an all purchase bucket, or something sold for aquarium use, or an old container you have? I feel like it would be handy to have something with a lid and handles... I keep sloshing water. Plus my old bucket is cracked now so I need to find a replacement.

I think I just got a plastic bucket from a local hardware store, but if you're looking for something specific I believe Petco sells one for aquarium use.

I would suggest buying a "horse" bucket. I went to my local farm supply store and got a 5 gallon bucket that's used to feed horses. The bucket itself has a spout and the handle is VERY sturdy. I had a problem with breaking handles when I tried other suppliers

Yeah, like Aimless said, I was going to suggest going to Tractor Supply Co if you have one in your area. Plenty of good buckets to choose from there and for reasonable prices as well.
