[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cute addition to your garden to collect and save rain water! It’s easy to clean and is made out of very durable material with perfectly functioning faucets. In addition it is super simple to attach to your rain gutters !

Beautiful, sturdy, functional

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this 50-gallon rain barrel. The setup was easy. The light granite slate rock texture looks great in my garden. It has 2 rust resisted off set brass spigots. You can use a hose, a 5 gallon bucket. The second spigot can also be your overflow into another rain barrel. The top allows for a planter. One issue is that the "well" area holds water, no drainage. The top also has a channel that diverts any overflow water to exit via the front of the barrel so your foundation doesn't flood. The top also has a plastic mesh that keeps debris and insects out. We are definitely getting a lot of rain right now, and my rain barrel has filled up sufficiently. It has great water pressure. I like that I can collect rain water for watering my garden and pots. This is a beautiful and functional rain barrel.

Not as sturdy as I had imagined from photos

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the look of this item in the product photos a lot, but once I received it realized it does not look quite as nice as it did in the photos. I did not expect it to be made out of such a lightweight plastic. Hopefully it will collect some rain so it does not blow over or away in the wind we get here! It will serve its purpose and doesn’t look bad so plan to keep it, but do wish it was a bit sturdier.

Pretty good, but not perfect, design
on April 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very cleverly designed rain barrel. I love that there are two spigots and that it’s aesthetically pleasing. It’s important to note that this type of rain barrel should ideally be used with gutters, as the collection screen area is rather small. You would divert your current downspout to pour into the top of the barrel. My two biggest issues with the design are the ‘flowerbed area’ and lack of a lid. The flower area is a nice addition to make the barrel even prettier, however there are no drainage holes for it and I predict it will turn into a mosquito breeding ground if flowers are not planted in it. I could see the area flooding even if there are plants in it. I also don’t love that you can’t get inside the actual barrel to scrub it out. We live in the northeast, so come fall I will need to empty these until the spring. I have no way of getting inside if any gunk has started growing. Overall this is a very attractive rain barrel with the convenience of two spigots, as long as you are ok with the small issues listed above.

Durable and efficient
on April 16, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 50-gallon rainwater collector exceeded my expectations! Installation was painless, and it's been incredibly efficient at gathering rainwater for my garden. The design is sleek and durable, and the filter system ensures the water is clean and ready to use. Definitely a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to conserve water and reduce their environmental impact. My only downside is that it is plastic lined. I feel it would have been better to be copper for the health benefits of the stored water. Other than that, I have no complaints.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rain saver is awesome! The quality and durability of the material exceeds my expectations for such a great price point. The decorative style and modern shape make it a nice addition to our home. The spigots are at the perfect height for functionality and easy use. I'm really going to enjoy using this rain saver during our hot southern summer. We've already had several inches of rain!

Satisfactory water storage
on April 5, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disclaimer: I received this rain barrel free of charge in exchange for providing an honest review.
I opted not to modify my downspout, so I placed this rain barrel in my greenhouse and filled it manually with a hose. Here’s my experience with it:The rain barrel features a mesh screen to prevent debris from entering. However, even without debris, I noticed some water running down the front during the filling, which resulted in a bit of water loss. This could potentially be improved for more efficient rainwater collection.
There's also an indent on the top with two holes leading out the back, and I’m unsure of their purpose. Clearer instructions or information about these features would be helpful.
On a positive note, the spout doesn’t leak and works wonderfully once the barrel is filled. I use the collected water to fill my watering can for gardening purposes.

Overall, I would rate this rain barrel as satisfactory. While it effectively collects rainwater once filled, there is room for improvement in minimizing water loss and providing better guidance on usage.
