5 out of 5 stars Looks nice...priced right.   May 16, 2008

I compared prices on rain barrels before I finally bought this one. Some were so expensive (and VERY ugly). This one is reasonably priced and blends in well with my split-log sided home. Another huge plus is the hose connection is all the way at the bottom of the barrel so you can use every last drop of water. Most rain barrels have the hose connection at least a few inches from the bottom so there's water you can't get to. Connecting an overflow hose required a little work with a Dremmel tool and a few dollars at the local hardware store for the hose and a connector, but nothing too difficult. All in all, definately worth the price and the small amount of work.

Thanks to the other review of this product, we chose to get this rain barrel out of the many offered. It was easy to set up and after just one steady half-hour rain, the barrel is half full, so I'm back to order another one to link with the first one.

The information said that there is a linking "kit" included with each barrel, but I didn't get one of those with the first order- if it isn't included in the second one, we'll have to rig up a link between the two. Shouldn't be too hard.

The flat shape sits against the wall and doesn't look bad at all and takes up less space than a round barrel.

Excellent price and with Prime, an even better deal.

Excellent Barrel, it fits close to the wall and so takes up less room than a round one. The fittings that come with the barrel work well except for the clip that is supposed to hold the hose to the barrel, it broke when I tried to attach it. In my case it doesn't matter as the hose in supported by a nearby fence but the clip is poor. But everything else is good and I would buy another one and recommend it to my friends.

The rain barrel that I purchased was exactly as pictured. It was filled after our first thunderstorm. The barrel is a little more costly than those blue rain barrels, but the wood grain coordinates with my vinyl siding and the flat sides allow it to hug the house and blend into the landscaping. I will warn anyone who is going to attempt a Y downspout connection that these are about 1/3 the cost of the rain barrel! We just used a flexible connection and let the barrel overflow when full.

We bought this rain catcher after discovering an area of our house where the gutters cannot the heavy rains. This is the perfect catcher with a good screen to keep out the bugs and a hose that allows the water to flow out into a watering can easily. Given that we are trying to be greener by reusing our rain water it was nice to see that the company is also greener by using very little packing materials to ship (I think it came wrapped only in a thick plastic - no box.
