COLOURWAVE Collapsible 2-in-1 Watering Can/Bucket, 7-Liter, Funky Purple

I closely read most of the reviews and questions before ordering this, even though it was 25% or more cheaper on EBay; Prime assurance matters ) Mine didn't leak or have any issues. I was at a loss to store the cap, but hope where I put it won't get lost. The capacity is comfortable, as 7 liters weighs about 18 pounds with the bucket. The bucket alone is easily 1/3 the weight of a typical watering can. I was expecting a metal handle on top, but its polypropylene rope covered in clear vinyl and its gray. The base and spout are PVC plastic, but seem thick enough to last a few years. The body is a silicone impregnated fabric, (like a tarp) presumably with UV protection. It is sewn where necessary, by effectively heat bonded to last. The top is bonded to the body and not removable, but it helps to straighten the bucket and control splash. The bucket is somewhat living, as it flexes as you use it and the spout moves like an elephant trunk as you go from pour to carry. It doesn't spill or spray, it works well. It is very light weight and folds compact. The flex of the body helps absorb slosh, so you won't get wet as often compared to a normal bucket or can. I liked the idea I could store it or take it camping as a bucket, but leave it assembled most of the time. Many might not like the droopy you get, but the more you use it; the water straightens it out when full. No idea how they make it so straight for the vendor photos, cause it won't. ]I wanted some sort of handle, so added that for comfort. It just makes puring easier with some kind of side handle. Design is pretty good, though perhaps not rugged in a typical sense I wanted an unusual color so it was easy to find among lots of stuff in storage ! The photos I chose to take, are views I would have liked before buying. [[ASIN:B00IZ72CFQ COLOURWAVE Collapsible 2-in-1 Watering Can/Bucket, 7-Liter, Aqua Blue]

We weren't sure how this would work based on the mixed reviews, but we decided to take a chance. We're glad that we did!This bucket isn't gigantic, it's a medium and about the same size as the usual outdoor plastic watering cans like Bloem or no name big box. Unlike a 'normal' watering can, this well thought out bucket folds flat and all accessories store in the bottom. They snap into their respective storage spots so that you'll never lose them. We also like that it's convertible from a simple bucket to a watering can. The cap for the hole that holds the spigot screws on tight and doesn't leak. Ours didn't leak anywhere.Someone complained about it not having a side handle, but it's not necessary because it's easy to hold by the plastic covered rope handle and the bottom of the bucket for steady and easy watering. Besides, a side handle would prevent it from folding flat for storage.All in all, we liked this item so much that we ordered another.N.B. This is a Colapz storage item from the website of the same name. We're not certain why it's called Colourwave in the Amazon description. Visit their website for other super handy water items for camping - tents or RV's.

This was nice but not fabulous. First off, I had the impression from the picture that there would be two of them. Second, they don't stand nice and straight-sided like the picture. Third, if you keep them collapsed to store, they are hard to get to straighten back out. Fourth, they are not really easy to balance and carry. I did like the accessories that stored with the unit and they are easy to find if you leave them on the lawn or in the garden.

So this is, cute. Cute and functional. I went to home dept and Lowes in my area and apparently everyone bought up all the $3 watering cans because they were all certainly gone so I had to take it up cost wise. The next price range was $18-$26 so I didnt find this to be a poor value. I like that its compact. Being in a studio, what takes up as little space as possible is valuable to me. I have it hanging on the hook with my headphones for reference. It's not hard to put together. But its also not quick and effortless either. Then again, who is in a hurry to water plants? that being said, 3 part process of putting this together to get the waterfall is just fine. Really, this is just functional, and that works for me in my space.

I love this watering can for my rooftop vegetable garden. Carrying water up there twice a day is a chore and I don’t need extra weight. The spout and head are great and allow me to direct the water flow under the leaves where the water will do the most good. Someone mentioned it not having a side handle- it isn’t needed, the coated upper handle and a lift from the bottom give great control.Pros: I appreciate the bright cheery color. I am happy with the compactness and storage will not be a problem in a small apartment. I plan on taking this as a bucket while camping. I love that this can be used as a bucket as well as a watering can.Cons: the half cover on the top does help with maintaining structural integrity and decrease splashing but it is annoying if you need to get inside. The molded base is great for storing the watering can attachments but creates lots of nooks and crannies for dirt and germs to gather. I’d use it for water only. It does not hold the cap (to make this a bucket) while you are using this as a watering can.These are nit picky but may be important to some people. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone who has limited storage but wants a useful watering can/water bucket.

This clever watering can is exactly what I needed. I don't plan to covert or collapse it often. It's easy to carry and holds plenty of water for my deck garden. As for the cap that converts it into a bucket - some have complained about a lack of cap storage, but it's the same size disc as the piece that goes in its place on the side, so logically it fits in the same storage space on the bottom. This isn't gentle enough for younger seedlings (unless you are very slow and careful), but is really comfortable to use for established plants.

Works well. Impressingly enough sturdy to hold the water and move it around. at one point i thought it was leaking but it was just i hadnt put the cap on the side on right. it stands properly when filled. no so much when empty. i was under the impression i got 2 due to the picture but in fact you get one. a picture to come.
