For my purpose, THIS ROCKS! April 27, 2010

For my purpose this 75 gal water barrel rocks! I online shopped many barrels, but I just needed a glorified pretty bucket. At the time of purchase, [..] had these for $179, while amazon's price was $[...]. Neither charged shipping. At that price this one wins on the dollar per gallon count, but it isn't as fancy.
Almost every other barrel out there is based on diverted rain/gutter water. This one has no such system. Just a screen to catch leaves, which I'm going to augment w/ a window screen for bugs (or killer goldfish MUUHAHAHA). I don't have gutters & don't want to pay or take the time to install them just for a rain barrel. . . I just park this one about where all the water comes off the roof & BAM! it works!
I'd love to have a 300 gal water barrel w/ fancy diverter. But I'm not watering the whole yard. I'm just catching some grey/rainwater that'll be used for small stuff. It's also way more attractive than some blue industrial barrel. Just yank it outa the box and you're ready to go. Oh one bad thing.
I had zero choice on the color. It's the brownish and I wanted the off white. I can live w/ that.
Simple idea. Looks pretty. Handles small jobs for a smaller price.
jeeez I sound like a friggin car salesman, but I'm that happy with it.

Kyoto Rain Barrels look like expensive pottery. June 8, 2010

I have purchased two of the Kyoto 75-Gallon rain barrels. I recommend this size over the smaller barrel because of its larger capacity. I was surprised at how quickly each barrel can fill up.
Pros:
* Barrel design and finish resemble expensive pottery.
* No special tubes are needed to hook up the barrel, simply re-route your gutter's downspout.
* Barrel has a metal faucet.
* Barrel has an overflow drain at the top and another drain at the base besides the attractive metal faucet.
* Faucet is just high enough for filling my watering can.
* Amazon delivery was very prompt.
Cons:
* None at this point.
Works great for watering can watering June 28, 2010

This is a godsend. I have some small plants that need watering every day, one more than once, and I don't need to haul out the hose to do it. I just use my own short hose piece connected to the faucet near the bottom and fill my watering can. When it rains here in Texas, it really rains! And being able to save some and utilize it is helpful and easy. I like this so much I actually have two, front and back of the house.

This is good looking and sturdy. Has a metal faucet that you can even hook a garden hose up to. We did attach it to a down spout w/ less than $15 worth of additional materials, adjustable down spout and rubber tubing to put the over flow back into the ground. We will attach screen to keep keep bugs from breeding in it. Love it. Just what I was looking for. Amazing how quick it filled up. I see more in our future. Price was very good for the quality.
I only bought 5 of these ! May 27, 2010

I LOVE this rain barrel !! I have 4 & bought one for my sister-in-law. When I read that the color is not grey but tan I was happy because that is better for my house. Its great. The hose connection is for a standard hose. I bought some fine screen to put over the top so insects won't be able to get through. Yes, I reccomend this product. & My sister-in-law loves hers too!
