## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very late and expensive but a very good barrel
  

*by R***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021*

This barrel was a month and a half late getting to me, but overall the barrel is very good, thick, sturdy construction.  I am pleased with the barrel and the tight fitting lid and latch assembly.  There is no question that this barrel will last for many years in any weather conditions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very solid, thick wall and sealable lid
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2021*

I was skeptical when I ordered this barrel but it's very heavy duty with a nice strong sealable lid. Great for bulk water storage and I also use a water preservative for 55 gallons of water. You will want to elevate it bit if you plan on connecting a hose to the valve as it is very close to the ground.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Spigot on bottom of barrel is worthless
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2021*

While I like the barrel and snug fitting lid, the spigot on the bottom is very cheap plastic and prone to leaking. I have two of these barrels and both spigots have had problems. I would recommend replacing the spigots with better quality ones before putting it into use.I did drill a hole into the lid and put in a spigot to act as a vent.
