I never bought one but can tell people do not have plumbing skills? 1. Diverter. Its the lip in the front and the angle sloping forward. So if it fills up and overflowes it diverts water towards the front. Simple. 2. Lead. All brass valves contain lead. 3. Leaky shut off valve. Most likely customer install issue. Plastic on plastic requires no thread tape. I would use tape since its brass on plastic.

The bottom spigot leaks. I went on vacation and after 10 days the water level dropped to the bottom spigot after being completely full. This unit is too big for me to send it back for a refund so I bought some sealant to see if that will fix the issue. This should not be required.

very poorly made

It looks luxurious in the photo but in real life it was very crummy looking. The shape is great but I returned it and went back to using my garbage can to collect water 🤷🏻‍♀️ Btw I LOVE Sam’s club and this is the only product I’ve bought and didn’t love.

We liked the size, shape and color. Disappointed with the quality. The mosquito screen on top of the unit was warped and off centered to the inlet. The unit was out of balance due to the seam on the bottom not being trimmed. The upper faucet inlet threads would not receive the brass spigot and unable to attach. Should be made of more durable material.

Nice design. Works great.

Love that this rain barrell fits in an area when I have no access or way to water my flowers

It is a good looking rain saver at right price

This rain barrel is well made, easy to put together and looks great in my yard

Just what we needed! Collected enough rain water for our garden.
