Put together in minutes, no leaks at all, valve works good so I can fill up sprinkler cans and the rain just hit a few weeks back and went to fill up some watering cans and very impressed with the water flow! It’s like having your kitchen sink! Looks nice very happy, now I need 3 more!!!

Good size. One issue was that make sure when draining that the hos is lower than the output. Unfortunately, the plastic screen on the top got broken by a recent hail storm.

Other reviews mentioned leaks. Mine arrived on time and was full to nearly overflowing less than a week later thanks to a heavy rain. I did notice the back of the barrel (flat side) had a slight bulge to it but there were no leaks. The top has a removable grate which I felt had large enough holes to allow mosquitos to pass through. To prevent the possibility of mosquito breeding (I hate mosquitos) I put a piece of fiberglass screen beneath the grate and another (probably overkill) on the top of the barrel held in place with a few rocks. This comes with a valve on the end of the hose that can accommodate a garden hose. So far I only used the water to fill a garden pitcher. With the flow rate, it did not take long to fill the 2 gallon pitcher.

We bought two, and they're doing their job nicely. After properly tightening the hose clamps, I haven't noticed any leaks.I've even drilled a couple of extra holes and added extra fittings to adapt them to our rain collection system, and I've connected the barrels so they fill from a single downspout. So far so good.In our rainwater collection system we also have a couple of other barrels and an IBC tote. At almost $200 CAD each, we found these FCMP Outdoor barrels expensive compared to our other containers, and in fact we almost returned them as we were setting the system up, but then we discovered that with their slim profile they fit perfectly where we needed to put them, and they look half decent too.

The part at the bottom of the barrel where the hose connects to it has not been sealed properly, and LEAKS. Unacceptable given the price paid for the item. Returning!

The price was really good and this rain barrel is great. It has a nice big opening to catch a lot of water and it also has a grate to catch debris. The connected hose is also nice to have to fill watering cans and it is also well built. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

This barrel was exactly what we needed during an unexpected water shortage this summer. It was easy to set up. Good design and easy to use. Good quality barrel.

I Ordered 2 rain barrels. One had a product defect and leaked. I contacted the company directly and they shipped a replacement immediately.The product works exactly as advertised and is an improvement on the earlier version. I particularly like the new placement of the outlet. The older version had it a couple of inches from the bottom so it was hard to get all the water out.

The cheap plastic piece that holds the hose to the top of the barrel snapped when I put it on, hose just hangs out on the ground now. Otherwise the barrel itself does what it's supposed to do.

Very sturdy, good plastic, easy to assemble (the instructions were pretty bad, it took me a few minutes to realize that the plastic clip hooks to the valve end of the hose, then you push the clip into the small hole at the top of the barrel (on the side)....you know, that small hole that you think shouldn't be there? :)All I got in my package was:- The barrel- The hose - one end was just bare hose, the other had the screw-top. The hose had a metal screw-clamp attached.- The valve - this hooks onto the screw top- The clip - this attaches to the top of the hose where you screw the valve, then push the pointed end into the small hole at the top/side of the barrel.The clip is easy to miss - I didn't realize it was in there until I moved the barrel suddenly and heard something else rattle after I'd removed the instructions, hose, valve, etc.So, based on the reviews, some people are getting a hose with two screw-ends, where you screw one end into the bottom of the barrel, at the hookup, and the other you screw the valve onto - that's not so in my case. I got a screw clamp and one end was just bare hose, so I screwed the clamp on as tight as I could, but I was immediately concerned this was going to leak. Another reviewer who stated "if you hook it up right it won't leak" seems to have the hose with two screw-ends, so yeah, theirs likely won't leak.The day after I got it, we had a massive thunderstorm - it's currently holding a full 45 gallons of water right now with no leaks so far (I am going to keep checking). So, if you do receive a hose with a screw clamp, make sure that sucker is on good and tight...
