Novelty Indoor Watering Can, 1 Gallon, Red...

Great watering can. Use it outdoors for plants. Slender spout is great for watering dirt instead of foliage. Excellent design for filling from kitchen sink. Has never leaked, sturdy but lightweight. Easy to use, would highly recommend.

With all the indoor plants that I have in our house, I like to have two watering cans readily available so I do not have to go back and fill up so often. Most of my plants can be watered at the same time, and with them being in several rooms, it would take several trips back and forth to complete the task. With two cans, I can get the chore done much faster. When my old can got to looking very discolored, I knew it was time to get another one. This time, I decided to get a one- gallon size instead of the half-gallon to make my task even easier. Upon seeing the Novelty Indoor Watering Can, I knew it was exactly what I needed, and once received, it has worked out perfectly for my needs. The bigger size is great, and I really like the can having two holes for filling that are not under the handle as this is definitely more convenient. With the curved spout, I can get the water on my plants exactly where I desire and not on a leaf which results in splatters on the floor. The handle is sturdy, and I can hold it any place without my hand slipping and causing water to spill. Though the can is not heavy, it is also not flimsy and the sides nor handle do not bend at all, plus less weight makes it easy to water hanging plants. I liked this can so well that I got one for some relatives, too.

This is one of those purchases that is tough to judge on just a picture and I don't like to return stuff if I don't absolutely have to. But this little can is perfect, good size, with 1/2 and 1 gallon marks that are easy to see. The two holes to fill are small, but I can tell that they did it to prevent cutting out the middle section where the two halves are bonded together, so if you don't already have one, buy, or better yet make a funnel so you don't spill on the fill. this baby's got great reach and a nice pointy spout that will get to any soil that needs a moistening. I used someone else's watering can the other day and what a miserable experience, made me appreciate the one I got. I can only hope it serves me as well as the one it replaced. No idea where I got that one, or what I payed, because I had it "forever", and this one is even better than that one was when it was new. 90% of my watering is done with an irrigation system, so if you have a lot of watering, this may not be the one for you, but for the one or two cans I use it for, it's perfect. And yes, it says "novelty" on it, but don't take that to mean it ain't quality. It takes a lot of confidence to be self-deprecating and this can can make fun of itself all day, cuz it gets the job done when it's time to work.

Okay, I was so happy it was MADE IN THE USA that I left the "Made in USA" sticker on it and painted over it with some clear nail polish! It is made of sturdy plastic, AMERICAN plastic obviously, and is quite a sturdy little piece. They have other sizes but I wanted the gallon-size because I have a number of houseplants a good distance from a running water source. This is just what I needed for my indoor plants, and it's big enough that I don't have to make multiple trips to the sink to re-fill. While I wish the end of the spout where the water comes out was a little smaller in diameter to get a slower and thinner flow, I am coping and adjusting. I think for plants like my smaller African Violets, I will just purchase one of tha Japanese style watering cans as this one seems to flood them too quickly (with African Violets for example, you have to be careful not to get water on the leaves). But I have many other plants who aren't as finicky and this watering can is perfect for them. Now, If you are considering purchasing this, the following may help: 1. It's MADE IN THE USA and made very well. 2. The color seems to be a little darker blue than pictured, but I did not purchase this as an decorating accessory. It goes under the kitchen sink when not in use. Other colors were available but the blue was the least expensive at the time, so color was not important to me (I was not looking for a piece to add to my decor, I was looking for a watering can to water my indoor plants). Price WAS important however and this was the beat deal I could find anywhere on a one-gallon watering can. 3. There is not a substantial "back handle" on it like some of the other cans, but this is only a gallon capacity, as heavy filled as a gallon of milk. It is situated well enough on the can that I do not find it cumbersome to use, and can two-hand it if needed. I have never found it uncomfortable to use and it is certainly better than the empty gallon milk jugs I had resorted to using after my old watering can gave up the ghost. 4. There are TWO filling holes on top, one on each side of the handle. The filling holes on mine look bigger than the one shown in the photo, and I have had no problem filling the can from any faucet (as long as the sink is big enough to hold it), or even from a gallon jug into which I have mixed in fertilizer. 5. You do have to take care that you do not tilt the can while filling (or carrying) so the water does not escape unintentionally through the spout. I solve this pretty much by not completely filling it, A hand underneath while carrying can also help. Other then the issue of my wishing the diameter of the opening at the end of the spout could be smaller, I do not see any cons for this product. What else can one say about a watering can? :) UPDATE: As of December 6th, 2023, we have been using it regularly since I first purchased it here and we have had absolutely no issues with it, still love it as much as the first day we got it!
