this was a good value for a 55 gallon barrel. The holes are Pre-Drilled and threaded. not sure why the drain plug has two notches which would not allow the plug to go in all the way so it leaks there. also, the spigot seems awful high on the barrel compared to my previous one. I connected this via hose to my first one and it seems to fill up. And I'm a little leery of the spigot. although it's brass, It seems to take a lot to close it. Time will tell

I love the spicket choice. It's all set up and perfect for a rain barrel

It went up in price from less than $100 to over $300 when I first bought it a few months ago. Also it leaks badly around the red stopper, which makes it useless.

The units arrived on time, has some assembly required. The sealing tape that came with the unit did not work since the fixture fittings were too tight. Also the fixtures came inside the tank which made me to unscrew the screen to extract the fixtures. While doing so there were also plastic shavings inside that took a while to clean. At the end, I spend time and more money on assembly, cleaning, and getting plumber seals in order to make them work. Was not ready out of the box as I thought it was.

I ordered the Rain Wizard based on the great price and free shipping. Unfortuantly the procduct failed to meet my expectations. In my opion the barrel looks refurbished. The bottom was all scraped up with dirt ground into the scratches. There were white numbers and letters painted on the side from a stencil. I asked several coworkers if they thougth the product looked new and not one of them said yes. I called customer service and reported the issued. They sent a different Rain Wizard barrel to me and it had the exact same issues. This is what lead me to believe this item is refurbished product. Ultimatley the barrels were returned and my money refunded. Be careful ordering this product. If you actully get a new unused barrel then this is a steal of a deal. But, sometimes if it looks to good to be true than it probably is! The customer serviece was great and resolved all product issues.

Arrived used and missing parts. I understand that it is recycled, but it wasn’t even cleaned up before sending to us. There were no parts like a spigot or any instructions… I didn’t look at it long enough to see if I had to put holes in it by myself but at that point it wouldn’t have surprised me

Old used…overpriced…

Did not receive. Showed in transit but fed ex said only label was issued. Had to call Sam's Club 3 times to get it resolved

Looks good. Hairline trickle of a leak. Not sending it back. Catches rainwater well. Construction appears well made. It’s just at the spigot areas that are inferior. 8(

BArrel in new condition. No leaks in installing the two supplied faucets (plumber's tape included). The only drawback is a lack of an overflow opening. A simple to it yourself step but it would be nice if it came with one from the manufacturer.
