Union 63071 Tulip Watering Can Plastic

Good size, easy to use, light weight

I'm a small woman, not especially feeble, but close enough to the ground to have trouble carrying some things that don't cause taller people any difficulty. I really appreciate the design of this can. The upper handle is placed and shaped so that the weight of the water is directly below the hand, not offset in some of the weird ways that make other watering cans uncomfortable to carry. And the lower handle is very helpful for directing the spout. Two gallons in this can (that's almost 18 pounds) don't give me any trouble at all. Another plus: when it's full and I walk around with it, water does not splash out the top. I've had other cans that can't take any kind of bumpy action at all, so I've had to hold them away from my leg while walking or risk getting wet (and I often feed plants with fish emulsion, which is not a nice perfume!). This can is very easy to fill - again, a thoughtful, practical design. The rose that came with mine works as well as I'd expect any rose on any plastic can to work: no major drips or leaks, and it's a good rose in terms of hole size and overall shape. Given that it's relatively soft plastic, it's a good idea to be gentle and aware when unscrewing the rose and putting it back on; I'd say that about every plastic watering can. I had one minor quibble when I first unpacked this can: it had a noticeable amount of plastic filings in it which I wish the manufacturer had cleaned up. I'm getting touchy about all the tiny bits of plastic that end up in our garden soil. But from the first time I tried it out, it's been so much better and more comfortable than any of our other watering cans that I'm just grateful every time I use it.

This is way too expensive for a piece of plastic, but it is easy to carry full and I like it a lot.

It's a watering can, it does its job. The white piece tip off which I like because I can have more precise watering when needed (i.e. for smaller indoor plants).

it should be fine easy to use and fill up
