Which is better for storing blankets and winter coats?

The Sterilite 66 Quart. Its 66-quart capacity holds a full bedding set or several coats, while the IRIS bin's 12 quarts is too small for bulky items.

Which fits on closet wire shelving?

Both can sit on shelves, but the Sterilite is sized for standard 16-inch wire shelving. The IRIS bin is smaller and lighter, so it fits more shelf spots.

Which is better for small items like craft supplies or toiletries?

The IRIS bins. Four to six small lidded bins let you sort by category, and the buckle latches keep small pieces contained.

Is the Sterilite tote worth it over the IRIS bins?

It depends on volume. One Sterilite holds about as much as five IRIS bins, so it wins for bulky storage; the IRIS pack wins for sorting many small items. Compare current prices on Deal.ai.

Can either bin be stacked?

Both are stackable. The Sterilite stacks bases on top of each other, and the IRIS bins stack and also nest when empty.

Which is more water resistant?

The IRIS bins are rated water resistant. The Sterilite tote has no water-resistance rating, so keep it dry.
