## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful experience, easy to install because it can sit on the ground.
*by J***A on June 17, 2025*

This is a great water solution. Fills readily even with a lighter rain. The short hose that you mount to it is attached with a p-clamp, which feels janky but seems to work fine. I prefer that to a spigot for filling watering cans, because I didn't have to lift the barrel with a stand. I can just tip the hose into a watering can to fill them, rather than having to keep the barrel high enough to fill a watering can. The end of the hose has a male hose attachment, so you can use a regular garden hose to water with as well. Pressure seems great as long as the barrel is at least partly full. Next year I will be attaching this to a garden irrigation system, so all I have to do it turn the valve, to water the garden.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great customer service
*by J***T on October 30, 2024*

I Ordered 2 rain barrels. One had a product defect and leaked. I contacted the company directly and they shipped a replacement immediately.The product works exactly as advertised and is an improvement on the earlier version. I particularly like the new placement of the outlet. The older version had it a couple of inches from the bottom so it was hard to get all the water out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine so far...but based on reviews, people are getting different hookups
*by J***E on August 21, 2022*

Very sturdy, good plastic, easy to assemble (the instructions were pretty bad, it took me a few minutes to realize that the plastic clip hooks to the valve end of the hose, then you push the clip into the small hole at the top of the barrel (on the side)....you know, that small hole that you think shouldn't be there? :)All I got in my package was:- The barrel- The hose - one end was just bare hose, the other had the screw-top. The hose had a metal screw-clamp attached.- The valve - this hooks onto the screw top- The clip - this attaches to the top of the hose where you screw the valve, then push the pointed end into the small hole at the top/side of the barrel.The clip is easy to miss - I didn't realize it was in there until I moved the barrel suddenly and heard something else rattle after I'd removed the instructions, hose, valve, etc.So, based on the reviews, some people are getting a hose with two screw-ends, where you screw one end into the bottom of the barrel, at the hookup, and the other you screw the valve onto - that's not so in my case. I got a screw clamp and one end was just bare hose, so I screwed the clamp on as tight as I could, but I was immediately concerned this was going to leak. Another reviewer who stated "if you hook it up right it won't leak" seems to have the hose with two screw-ends, so yeah, theirs likely won't leak.The day after I got it, we had a massive thunderstorm - it's currently holding a full 45 gallons of water right now with no leaks so far (I am going to keep checking). So, if you do receive a hose with a screw clamp, make sure that sucker is on good and tight...
