Gardener’s Supply Company French Blue Watering Can | 3 Gallon Indoor Outdoor Water Container for Plants and Garden with Removable Stainless Steel Faceplate Rose Sprinkler Attachment - Blue

This is probably the hardest review that I have ever done. I do reviews to be helpful and this one is just plain tricky - I'll get started.1 STAR REVIEW - 1. Spray head falls off, 2. Spray head leaks, 3. Sharp areas on the handle that dig into your hand while watering. These are ALL problems.5 STAR REVIEW - 1. Holds a lot of water!, 2. Perfectly balanced, 3. Metal rose plate puts out a gentle stream of water, 4. As you water you let the can rotate down and let your hand slip down the curved handle - so easy and comfortable. The design of the can is truly perfect! (I own 3 of them).So, if we can just fix the things that make this can a 1 Star - then we'd have a 5 Star! It's easily done - here we go.First let's fix the handle. Use a file and remove the sharp plastic ridge on the the top and inside of the hand. Only takes a few minutes. The can is now comfortable in the hand.Now let's fix the leaking head and fall off issue - You've got your trusty file, so remove the plastic ridges where the head fits on. It will leak like crazy if you put the head on over those - the ridges also contribute to the "falling off" issue. There is a ridge on the top and the bottom (just like the handle). Once those are filed off, put the head on and snug it up tight. it will still leak a little bit. To fix that and the falling off part - take some electrical tape, 1" wide works the best, and take a few turns around the head and spout. Done! And as you'll see in my picture of the can, you have to look to see the tape. Black tape on the black spout - it just blends in.You now have a 5 Star watering can! You can see the ridges that need to be removed in the pic's and the tape job.One last thing, if you look at the listing you will see the head installed "down" in the main pic and installed "up" in one of the other pic's. I guess that is just user preference. I really, really like it installed "up". Try it both ways and see what you like - then tape it on so that it stays on and doesn't leak.5 Stars for this watering can, once modified.

What's not to like?

Great size and color.

I have bought several of these, hard to find sized items, and one leaked. The manufacturer replaced it even tho Amazon wouldn’t take it back. Hooray for good customer service! Thank you

Be aware that 3 gallons of water can be heavy for some people... about 25 pounds of sloshing water.

Sturdy container. Large opening for filling. Major problem with attached spout. When watering it falls off sending a flood of water instead of the expected sprinkle. Bad design. No matter how hard I push it on the spout falls off when watering.

This 3 gallon watering can is well made and has a large opening for easy filling. Highly recommend !!

Really sorry I bought this. The worst. It holds a lot of water. That's the only good thing I can say about it. The fine water flow is very slow, (do I punch out some of the holes to make them bigger? will see), the rosette leaks and then falls off. I suppose if you are planting seeds, you might appreciate the fine water flow. For watering shrubs or perennials you'll need something better.I wanted another Dramm watering can like the one I've had for a couple of years but can't find it anywhere. It was about double the price of this one but I would by it again any day over this.
