Rain barrel came without spigot attached. Hole was cut but hole was left inside of rain barrel along with the plastic shavings! Necessary to unscrew screen and remove the hole cutout and shavings before setting up rain barrel! I have bought this type of barrel before and never had to do that cleanup.

I live in a wet area and this is a great way to help the environment. Bought this rain barrel at beginning of the summer and have used all the collected rain water to keep all my plants, indoors and out, watered without using water from a hose or tap.

Misaligned drilled holes keeps 1 spinning wheel slightly off on the base and thus difficult to turn the barrel and the holes on the side are just a bit too large and let's flies in. It appears someone just rushed through drilling holes for the wheels and sides at a rapid pace without paying a attention. A rain barrel i purchased from Sam's also had quality issues and was from the same company this compost barrel is from.

The brass spigot fits a standard hose fitting, btw. The 6x8 inch plastic screen can easily be trimmed to fit your downspout. There's a round 5" hole in the barrel top, underneath the screen, which fit my flexible round plastic downspout perfectly. I trimmed the screen to match the 5" ohole in the barrel top so that the screen had a custom appearance.

I like the flat back design, it nestles better against the house. Spigot at the BOTTOM is a plus also (surprises me how many of these have the spigot a foot from ground--a waste of water in the barrel). And can't beat the price! Would get a 5 star if they would put a screen or a top that can be elevated, removed, lifted--etc. My favorite rain barrel has that feature, just can't find it anymore.

I would say overpriced Probably should have purchased a " stand" to put on for stability and draining access BUT did not know that you can purchase it . Lots of debris inside from drilling and cutting during assembly - RINSE OUT WITH HOSE B-4 you install

Terrible product. Would give negative stars if I could. The metal spigot has to be screwed into the plastic threading which is a terrible design. I followed the directions exactly and the first time I tried screwing it in the plastic threading stripped and made the product worthless.

This barrel should be a bit larger , say 25%, and have 2 outlets for hose connection to allow for barrel to drain at a rate that will keep up with a strong rain. As it is, a strong steady rain will cause barrel to overflow before hose outlet can drain.

I bought my first ever rain barrel. It came within a week, look just as advertise, nice looking Big barrel all attachments were placed inside. The concept of this rain catcher is great, but could use some revision. My first hard rain barrel filled in super fast and started pouring out the vents on top and spraying out too where gutter hose attaches, even tho I had my drain hose open to drain and attached . The problem is the nozzle is a 1/4 inch as the drain hose will be and can no way drain fast enough for the amount of water coming in to barrel. It takes about half of barrel to have enough weight to even drain at all. So even tho nozzle is at bottom it will drain to about half of barrel only.

Easy to put together, looks nice and does the job I need to water my small garden bed. There are a few flaws I wasn’t pleased with: Mfg didn’t clean shavings and cut out pieces from inside the barrel. Hole in the top is so small it was hard to clean out debris. Faucet had a small drip after it was filled with water (used sealant to stop it). Overall it’s an average barrel that does the job
