A sturdy, well-designed water butt. The supplied template makes it easy to make the right cuts in the downpipe. After that, assembly is a doddle. The lid fits securely and no problems with siting to right or left of the drainpipe. The feed pipe enters through the back and the tap sits on the front. The flexible connection pipe is just long enough to turn the butt through 90 degrees if you need to. For me it works best to leave it straight so that I have the wall on my right as I'm filling a watering can.Edit: As others have commented, the tap dripped slightly. I then discovered that it wasn't seated properly. Hold the body firmly and push down on the handle and you should feel a slight click. It then works opposite to the usual tap direction, i.e. it's clockwise to turn ON. There's now no drip whatsoever on mine.

Undoubtedly a well-made product, and the water container shape and size are exactly what I needed. The connection kit works well, and the instructions are clear and simple. I used a compatible sealant around the thread of the screwed pipe components before fixing (as these always tend to leak) and this was effective. The reason for only 4 stars is that one of the base sections was slightly broken in transit (but it still works OK) and the tap drips. The tap currently has my watering can underneath it, to catch the drops but when the butt empties out from use in the summer, I will probably change the tap.

All fine with the water butt and a question about delivery was answered quickly and to my satisfaction

Very poorly made, leaks from around the tap perpetually. Lid was broken in the box. Base just about sturdy enough if you're careful and never even think of moving it. Overflows half the time despite being correctly installed. It seems like 99% of these are all from the same Chinese manufacturer so my advice is to pay the least possible money for it, as they're all the same, unless you're willing to spend £150+ on a properly designed one.You might be able to get the tap not to leak if you cover it with plumber's tape before fitting it.

Complete with the robust water barrel, there’s a tap, pipe work, and an ingenious stand. It is truly remarkable for the money. I was everso pleased.

the fittings are not exact and the drainpipe needs to be the perfect fit at its base with no movement - the core element that fits the two pieces of drainpipe is a nightmare to fit as its mass produced and loose.

Arrived undamaged, easy to set up, perfect! I'm not sure if it's good value but it's a massive 250L water butt delivered right to your doorstep, to me that's great value. Now have twin water butts, side by side in the garden, very happy.
