I like almost everything about my new rain barrel! It is the perfect size and color for my patio. It has a nice screen attached but removable for cleaning on the top. It also came with a nice brass faucet that my gutter man installed for me. We had heavy rain today and the water I ran from the faucet was clear and appears safe to use to water my plants in my yard and garden. The only thing that I could complain about was that there was not a matching mounting block that I could purchase but this was easily resolved by placing a large flagstone underneath it to lift it up and balance it. Over-all, I love my new rain barrel and I give it five stars for quality and usefulness!

After extensively reviewing this brand, I decided to purchase 2 of them. The reviews were mostly decent. I had them installed and got torrential rains the same night. Overflow is a huge problem so make sure the water will properly drain away from your foundation. Mine is suspended on river rocks and concrete stones. My biggest concern is that they both leak around the spigot and seal continuously which really burns my @$$$$$. They need to construct these better! Overall, they're aesthetically pleasing which is the main reason I bought them instead of a $5 food storage bin. Thesee are overpriced and not worth the price I paid. Some reviewers suggested marine epoxy. Maybe buy some of that before you buy these barrels.

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.

Environmentally friendly! Catch and conserve water! Great price and fast delivery! We have 4 of these (linked by 2's), a 200 gallon capacity. Know that in Northern climates they will need to be emptied and flipped upside down (very easy to do) so they don't collect water, freeze and crack over winter.

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.

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.

I bought 2 of these barrels because they were advertised with a brass spigot for a garden hose hook-up. However, one arrived with a brass spigot, but the other arrived with a cheap plastic spigot that likely won't last through the winter. Very disappointed and not sure who and how to get in touch to get it corrected.

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 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.

Got this for my son. He loves it and put on a pedestal type of platform so he can get to the spout easily. He waters his flowers and garden with it. Great use for natural rain water, which is better for plants. Very attractive rain barrel as well. Nice and sturdy.
