22 customers mention13 positive9 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of installation. Some mention that it was fairly simple once they leveled the platform stones. They say the rain barrel was easy to assemble and hook up. However, others say that it came with no instructions, is not the most convenient to install, and that the front and back valves/spigots did not install correctly.

"...Simple enough if you have those tools. Cons: you need to make sure you have those tools...." Read more

"...The brass valve didn't go in easily and if you crank on it you'll quickly strip out the plastic threads and the whole thing will be worthless...." Read more

"...No muss, no fuss. I fill my water cans from the spigot and water...." Read more

"...It came with no real instructions so I emailed Algreen directly. They emailed back a PDF of all I needed to know...." Read more

21 customers mention7 positive14 negative

Customers are mixed about the capacity of the cistern. Some mention that it has a large capacity, while others say that it doesn't hold water. The barrel fills up very quickly with a short rain, and 80 gallons is a lot of water. However, some customers say that the downspout didn't collect water, and the barrel just fills with water every time it rains.

"...Mine was not watertight. I'm going to try a replacement, because I really like the look of it, but I'm 90% sure it will be the same issue." Read more

"...I think I chose the Oatey 14209 diverter. The barrel fills up very quickly with a short rain, and 80 gallons is a lot of water...." Read more

"...This makes it difficult for me to catch water because I have an open runoff from my roof...." Read more

"...in the "planter" section on top, otherwise it fills with water that gets nasty and just sits and stagnates...." Read more

19 customers mention8 positive11 negative

Customers are mixed about the performance of the cistern. Some mention it works fine, while others say it cracked on the bottom and is useless. It does not function properly, leaks, and failure seems imminent. Some say they only received one season of use and the barrel did not even make it through one winter. The section on the back side is nearly fully everted and will never drain out, making it stale.

"...Now it's cracked and all the water sprays out making this barrel completely useless...." Read more

"the product works fine (so far)...." Read more

"...The inverted section on the back side is nearly fully everted. I don't imagine they will last long without bursting...." Read more

"Put everything together fairly quickly and everything seemed fine...." Read more

64 customers mention18 positive46 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the quality of the cistern. They mention that it snaps and breaks, the valve broke off completely, and the barrel is made with not sturdy plastic. Some say that the barrel was damaged upon delivery and the seal leaks.

"...Now it's cracked and all the water sprays out making this barrel completely useless...." Read more

"It is great. Arrived a little bit dented but popped out to normal as it filled" Read more

"...The hose connections are all solid, just be aware that you're connecting brass to plastic or plastic to plastic and take common sense precautions..." Read more

"...The biggest issue is the quality of the barrel. One of the valves (Lower Drainage Valve) they give you is plastic. It's a piece of junk...." Read more

34 customers mention3 positive31 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the cistern. They mention that it leaks from the bottom spigot, has a very slow leak around one of the connections, and has dripping all around them. The hose connection will leak after a few years, making the barrel completely useless. The adhesive smeared and dripped all around the spigets, making it completely useless, and the water pressure immediately broke through. One design flaw is the spout is located midway between the top and bottom, meaning the water in the bottom will never empty.

"...Now it's cracked and all the water sprays out making this barrel completely useless...." Read more

"...The other con is that the barrel started to leak at the bottom spigot and it doesn't close all the way." Read more

"...I agree with other reveiwers that the faucet is way too high up. Mine are in the middle, not even as low as the picture...." Read more

"...Finally, there is a very slow leak around one of the spigots (which is showing signs of rust after one week). I'll try some flexseal on it...." Read more

20 customers mention5 positive15 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the value of the cistern. They mention that it is not worth the money, made of cheap plastic, and is a huge waste of money.

"...Kind of expensive for plastic." Read more

"...First, the spigot is not brass like was listed...it was cheap, black plastic...REALLY CHEAP...." Read more

"I did not receive the brass faucet with it. Otherwise it’s worth the money." Read more

"...What a waste of money!" Read more

The overflow tubes have to be cut open if you want it to overflow
I am glad I finally got the two I ordered in April ( delivered in middle of June). I agree with other reveiwers that the faucet is way too high up. Mine are in the middle, not even as low as the picture. There were no directions for people like me who was sure that the faucet should go on the bottom opening where all the water would drain out....it doesn't. Also the two overflow drains have no openings so I guess I have to cut them somehow if I want the overflow to actually drain. There was some kind of hook in the bag and I haven't a clue as to what that is supposed to be used for. It would also be a good idea if they put a few holes in the planter section since I can see any plants in there drowning in 3 inches of water.They do look good enough for the front yard in amidst the shrubbery. Update: When I went to put the second barrel together I found that it had a plastic spigot instead of brass. The male connector on the bottom drain broke off before it was even tightened. See photo. As For the first barrel, I put it out to collect rain ....on the ground. Now I have 25-30 gal of rain water and can't get it out because main spigot is in the middle of barrel and the lower drain on bottom is too difficult to get to. This is not a well designed barrel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice design
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2022
We built a stand for it to raise it up a little higher to get better water pressure. It’s pretty lightweight for it’s size but I guess that’s good since it will be heavy when it’s full. Have not had a heavy rain yet to see how it works or how the spigot works. Kind of expensive for plastic.

1.0 out of 5 stars CHEAPLY MADE !
Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2019
This water reservoir look very nice. Toscane inspiration. BUT it is really cheaply made. The BIG problem is with the valve at the bottom . The way the valve is fixed there is poorly done. Only black silicone NO metal joint or fixture to maintain the valve in place. So when you open the valve to liberate water it brakes instantly. I recommend not to buy.
