Customer Reviews for Suncast 50 Gal. Rain Barrel

This product is awesome! My plants love rainwater so much more than city water...

Works perfectly for my application. The rain water from my shop runs into our pond.

We ordered this rain barrel because it was the only one available which was short enough to effectively capture the water from our new swamp cooler. Sometimes we connect it to the hose to drip water our raspberry patch, but mostly I use my sprinkling can to hand water the garden. (lots of trips, good exercise) We have had it over a month now and are very happy with it.

i have had this less that one year and the entire bottom failed, i can only assume due to being full

Why add a screen to the top that will RUST? So disappointed!

I bought this because of its short stature, overflow feature, and close able hose and screen feature. It worked for only one season! Did not even last a year. The bottom completely fell out of it. It says it’s freeze proof so it doesn’t make sense! Very disappointed. The cheap rain barrels I made work much better.

Simple to assemble, though there are a lot of parts for a rain barrel, but if you follow the directions you shouldn't have any problems. I bought two and connected them so I hope they last several years. They seem sturdy enough. They do not come with an adapter to connect to your downspout so you'll need to buy that separately. They seem to collect rain well enough on their own, even without a downspout connection. Each also comes with mosquito wire filter, overflow tubing, and plastic spigot.

This rain barrel replaced one that just could not be repaired any longer. This one is the same type and was I was pleased to be able to start having a rain barrel again.

Installed it outside the workshop, to catch the roof runoff, and it filled up the next day, with less than 1" of rain, great product!!

Exactly what we wanted. Assembly was simple.

Very easy to assemble, I like that the lid locks into place for safety. The opening on top is small and I took the lid completely off during the last rain so the barrel would fill easily then put it back right away. I would recommend it though

I bought 2 of these Suncast rain barrels spring of 2016 for much less than they sell today. I am very pleased with the quality of the hard plastic, the tight screen mesh stopping pests from entering, and the nifty drain hose at the bottom. I use the hose to very quickly fill watering cans and pails. Indeed, there is lots of water pressure from the hose when the barrels are at least half full, enough to push water a long distance.

Easy to assemble, was just the right size for our patio.

Easy to use. Heavy duty material

Good value

Great product. Will be buying one more.

Item was easy to put together with simple to follow instructions. Looking forward to catching all the rain!

Fast shipping, easy to assemble, well made, but I did notice a slow drip from the drain hose already. Bought this particular one because of the shape and profile - I need to put it in the back of my truck to transport water to my garden, then drain with the hose. Fits my needs well.

Shipping was fast. No problems. The rain barrel seems to be a good quality. The little that there is to assemble was easy and quick. I'm satisfied with my purchase. Would buy again.

We recently installed a great wall in tub and we could not in good conscience just put all that water down the drain. So we rigged a way to direct the water to the rain barrel.

Easy to assemble. Like collecting rain water for my plants

I needed a rain barrel that wasn't too tall to fit under the deck. The rain barrel was easy to assemble and seems to be strong.

Actually replacing one that I left outside over the winter. I Love it

We like this rain barrel very much.
