Customer Reviews for RESCUE 50 Gal. Gray Flat Back Whiskey Rain Barrel with Integrated Planter and Diverter System with Black Accent Bands

It did not look like the picture unfortunately. Or they sent the wrong color. It’s not awful though. It would probably work fine. We ended up selling it to a friend and used a more authentic looking barrel. Just an aesthetic thing because of the look we were going for.

Some of the units had cheaper accessories and didn’t match each other. For example, the garden hose and couplings were differently colored and made from different materials. I ordered 4 of the same exact units and they all came with different quality materials.

Nice looking barrel and planter makes it more appealing then most. We get an air bubble in the hose every time we use it, which only goes away if held much lower then spigot.

Love them

Easy to assemble efficient in function

This is one of the better purchases I have recently made. I use the hose feature to fill my watering can and I love it. I am thinking about purchaseing another one or two for my other downspouts.

Easy to install, looks much nicer than most barrels and saves lots of water. Liked it so much we bought a second one!

Just got our first sizeable rainfall and the barrel is leaking big time out of two holes half way up under the “metal” strap. Don’t know what I am going to do - to have to get the barrel separated from the down spout and emptied is a ridiculous proposition. Any solutions Home Depot?

Product is fine, but it is NOT 50 gallons. It's about 30-35 gallons. Shop accordingly.

I like how it is durable and you can plant a flower in it And it is so pretty.

Very cheap looking. Hopefully fulfills it's purpose regardless of the cheap appearance.

I purchased this April 2018 and a pinhole leak sprung within a month. Given it would be a hassle to return, I emptied the barrel below the link line and patched it with some sealent, which fixed that leak—now another leak has sprung lower down. Other than not being able to hold water, it looks nice and was fairly easy to install.

I JUST LOVE IT!!! I wanted one for years and its perfect, sits right against house so its out of the way, its stylish looking. It was a bit of a pain to finally get level but we got it, and thinking of getting another

Returned to store. Didn’t have a good water collection system.

WORKS GREAT

This item was exactly as advertised and was easy to install. The base that was offered as a pair did not work however. But we installed without the base and it works great. In addition the store took the base back no questions asked.

Looks good. Nice having the planter with the barrel. Would like it to divert more water from the downspout. Overall would definitely recommend.

Was difficult aligning to my downspout. Old house. Then I couldn't find 3/ 4 drill bit. Had to relevel 3 times. Hope this holds tonight's rain

Pressure is decent through the 4 foot hose but much more than that the hose needs to stay close to the ground for any significant pressure. Overall very pleased and easy to install. Would definitely recommend.

Seems ok, but too large for my space.

Works great. Easy to install. The back bowed out a little which was strange.

i don’t think this 50 gallons

This is a very nice item. The flat back lets it fit right against the wall and the top shelf is an added bonus. I put some flowers right in there still in their pots and the drain hole keeps everything pretty neat. The installation can be a little tricky. You will need tools and you must follow the instructions to get it to work right.The hose on the bottom has a stop-nozzle on the end so you must make sure it is closed or you will have water everywhere. Although it is plastic/vinyl it is pretty substantial and looks good. I have only had it for 2 weeks but there have been several heavy rains storms and everything seems to be working fine.

Barrel is good, diverter is little tricky to install and from my point of view does not collect as much water as was expecting, we had 2 storms and still 3/4 full, i think there is room to improve the design.

The barrel was easy to install and it is very unobtrusive against our brick house.It was exactly what I was looking for and works well.

Easy to install but cheap looking. Not at all like picture.

We ordered two barrels. We like the look, and have them planted. We didn’t need the diverter kit, but we needed the fitting to turn the water on and off, because we’ll need to drain them over the winter. One of arrived with a dent and is missing the fitting to turn the water on and off. I improvised

Easy to work with

Installation was easy but you do need to make sure hose from diverter to barrel is level. If it isn't it will not fill up. Using natural resources is a money saver. It meets all expectations.

the diverter was not fun to install but the first ran and the barrel was full
