This is a replacement barrel for one I had for years that I used constantly. I got it May 21, 2020. The back has buckled already - less than 2 months. I’ve tried draining the top half (we’ve had lots of rain) and using it a lot but I know it’s not going to last and may even collapse. The first barrel was made so much better! Stay away from this one and don’t make the expensive mistake I did.

The rain wizard really works great when we had a hard rain last week it filled the barrel full and I have used that to water my flower garden. It works great and is easy to disburse the water out. So this rain wizard is exactly what I wanted to serve my purpose of saving water. It also looks good in the yard.

Today it finally rained, I loved watching the pouring rain go into the barrel I may have to get another one! Thank You!

We have two of these and the water that is captured is enough to keep our vegetable garden watered in the hot summer months.

Solid barrel. Great on the available stand.

works great, harvesting the rain water to use during the summer months. we set it up with a soaker hose to keep our raised vegetable beds thoroughly watered.

Looks great in yard! Plants are thriving on top!

As with MANY rain barrels, the weak point on this one is where the valve screws into the barrel. Began leaking after only 2 weeks... added sealant around the valve and that hasn't stopped the leaking. The leak is at the rate of about 1" of water per 24 hours. We had THOUGHT that having a metal valve would have minimized this problem, but, alas, this is NOT the case. VERY DISAPPOINTED and would NOT recommend this item to anyone! In fact, would give it ZERO stars if I could!

works well, flat against the house

It was delivered faster than estimated. Love it
