If you buy this, fill it with a hose and be sure that it doesn't leak immediately....

This barrel, while nice to look at, developed a pin hole leak at the base.  By the time we got rain, and I discovered the problem, it was not eligible for return or replacement.  Grrrr

I just installed it, and it already leaks.  It must have had old gaskets.  When I went to complain to Amazon, the return period was missed by 5 days.

The connections leaked... Took some filing and sanding to get it to seal... Eventually had to use 2 hose clamps applied very carefully so not to collapse the fitting...

Just a note of caution to other buyers.  Obviously, this pump is mostly plastic.  I happened to look at it a few days after install and saw the hose was no longer connected to the pump's outlet.  Well, needless to say, that could be a disaster.  I'll take the blame for tightening the hose clamp a bit more than the plastic could stand.  I think that is what must have happened.  Please be careful not to over tighten the clamp on the plastic outlet hose barb.

Maybe it is just ours but our plug to keep the water in the pool was deformed.  It leaked from day one but it's been hot.  We wanted our daughter to be able to splash around so when we fill it, it last long enough for that.  (It's a slow enough leak that we didn't return it right away though we probably should have)  If not for that, we probably would have loved it.  It is plenty big enough and seems pretty sturdy.

I can take pictures of it tomorrow

I would have given this 5 stars, if I had written this on the first day of use. It seemed to work fine for the first rain. I dumped it out and looked forward to measuring the next day's rainfall amount. I expected to find 2+ inches, but instead, there was only about 0.1" in the gauge. Turns out it had a minute leak that somehow developed over one day (confirmed by filling to highest mark and watching - visible drips at the base), or possibly it was leaking all along and we got more rain on the first day, than it had indicated. Rather than hassle with sending it back, I used Crazy Glue Gel and sealed around the perimeter of the joint under the base - seems to be holding.

Just like everyone else said - it was manufactured very cheaply and there is a very strong possibility that yours will leak. You may get lucky and get one that doesn't (see the guy who posted the video), and you may get semi-lucky and be able to make it seal properly after filing down some of the ridges left behind by the cheap manufacturing process, but my advice is to buy this assuming that it will leak.

It's a shame nobody else is producing a bottle in this form factor that isn't shoddily made.

I have bought this a long time ago and now that I have just installed it (after remodel), there is a small hole in the side where it leaks.  Not only did I get the wrong color, it is defective.  It's too late to return, so I am going to have to fix the hole so it doesn't leak.  The top part where you can plant a plant or flowers, I would keep whatever you plant in its original container because the hole for drainage gets plugged real easy and the water overflows with any dirt or soil that's in there.  After the first rain my top part with dirt overflowed. What a mess! The faucet handles don't fit very well in the holes. The holes are almost too big.  I don't recommend anyone to buy this.

I have a lot of pocket hoses that work great because we are on well water so the pressure is not as high as other homes but this one was the strangest thing...maybe I got a lemon but this one leaked everywhere almost immediately.

Works great ,but secure it before you fill it ,cause it is super heavy after adding water

Had to return the first one with due to a leak that was present as soon as we got it.  The house is a great size adn my kids love the thing.  Get a good air pump for it. Take care of it, and hopefully these will last us a few years.

This may be a fluke, but the air mattress that I received already had a leak in it when it arrived. I inflated in once as the packaging said to let it stretch out and test it before use, it appeared fine. The next time I inflated it was for a guest to sleep on (the reason I bought it) and it slowly deflated throughout the night so that my guest was on the floor by morning. It appears there is a leak somewhere around the seal, but I haven't investigated further. Since the product came damaged I'm simply going to return it.

Seems like an excellent product, I don't know if it sealed the leak. Be prepared to work fast and throw out everything you use.

the problem is that, seems the faucet joint is not sealed, thus every time when i use it, there's water leaking from the joint, and spilled everywhere :(
stopped using it as a watering can, instead putting flowers in as showed in the product photo, which is pretty creative.

The packaging for this was great but on delivery as soon as I plugged it in it started leaking a crazy amount of water all over my apartment and was a huge hastle to clean up. More importantly the water seemed to be flowing through the unit over the power line :/ I didn't actually get a chance to use the unit because of this defect but it echoes other reviews here so I'd be careful.

I tried one of these hoses and it burst within the first week. I returned it and got another with the plan to never let the hose have the water pressure inside by always squeezing the handle when the water was turned on.....unfortunately the second hose didn't come with the plastic washer and leaked/sprayed out from base of handle and sprayed at connection to the shut on/off.  There is no way to use it and I forgot to return it because we switched to our regular hose until 1 day after 30 day return period and now I'm stuck with it!

Save your money. I bought two of these and both immediately leaked. The ends were correct for the hose size.
