Customer Reviews for FreeGarden RAIN 55 Gal. Rain Barrel with Brass Spigot

Good size, having an attached spigot is its best feature. I have only had it for a few weeks, and have been using it since I got it. We have been having a lot or rain.

I love my two barils, they are strong and well built, the luminous green color is attractive, and I connected both of them for the surplus if water. The only problem is the faucet: any hose holds on them, i do not know what is wrong? I will ask my handy man to look at it.

During the second year we used this, the spigot began leaking. I cleaned the barrel out and it continued to leak. After last year I cleaned it to store in my garage ,as I did the first year we got it, and discovered the metal part of the spigot had broken and it completely fell off. Poor value and performance. I sealed the hole off and now have what I already had for free, a simple barrel.

very well made. quality plastic. very satisfied.

The design of this makes no sense, I had to drill and place in my own custom spigot

For the stats, as many have noted already, my barrel leaks at the spigot. The washer is too thin and the spigot wobbles. This has happened 2 years after purchase, although I have only really used it once to store water when I was draining my water heater. Yesterday it was the first real application to store rain water. Today it's already useless.

This is my third purchase of this item. It is outstanding, and I’m loving gathering deee water for the garden! Live the brass spigot and the overflow tubing. Lid screws on tightly. Screen keeps out debris.

Great rain barrel. It works a lot better than the trash barrel I used for years.

I’ve had this less than a year so going to return it. Mild temperatures here, hardly ever rains. And the spigot leaks. Been a pain since day one. You’ve been warned.

I am pleased with the appearance and overall function of the barrel. however, there are no handles or indentations for your hands to lift the barrel.

I find that the gasket and spigot do not provide a reliable seal. The overflow ejection knock outs are only 1.25" in diameter, so not enough to shed water in the case of an overflow. The down flex pipe is too short, much shorter than pictured. It's an unusual diameter to find replacement. The clamp is not rust resistent. I spent another hundred in materials to make two barrels functional, with a lot of water damage to the foundation in the meantime. Very disappointing!

It was very easy to assemble.

Easy set up, collect lots rain water, my wife very happy

Great and easy to use.

The best thing I bought. Great way to conserve on watering the lawn.

Rainbarrel was nice but it broke at the bottom after less than 6 months of use

Already assembled—made it easy to set up.

The rain barrel is good quality but the spigot is lower quality. The price was good for the overall quality of the rain barrel. (FYI - The spigot is 3/4 inch - I tried two hoses before realizing this.)
