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.

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!

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.

I put the drain together and hooked up the gutter, after the first rain it was leaking around the flange that the drain screwed into. The flange wasn’t glued. I cleaned it all up and put silicone around the flange and reinstalled. Rained yesterday, so far so good

i liked the look and ease of light weight installation. B ut this thing leaks bad and i tried to hook a hose up to the bottom faucet part and it does not attach without faucet pulling out. i dont know if its the cheap plastic or the faucet that came with.

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.

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

Easy setup, holds water without leaking and looks nice. The downside is that the top doesn’t come off for cleaning.

Easy to assemble and put into use. A great way to reduce my water bill and take care of my vegetable garden!

Good working rain barrel. I skipped using the screened hole in the top for a hose and bulkhead. Also, I added a spigot to the side about bucket height. It had the spot for one, so I just drilled a hole and added it. Working well for me so far.
