Very disappointed in the following:  Brass spigot was poor quality and when threaded in, the handle could not turn because it hit the barrel.  Corrosion-proof screen was brittle black plastic secured with zinc-plated screws.  I replaced these with stainless steel.  Drain plug is rendered useless when the rain barrel is against the wall.  Totally inaccessible.  It should have been on either side or even the front of the rain barrel.  Hose hook hole was far too large.  I replaced the hook with a quality "S" hook from Lee Valley.  Plastic barrel is two halves welded together.  These always crack along the seams during an Edmonton, AB winter.  I expected a lot higher quality item for the price!  A good plastic garbage can for a fraction of the cost would have proven to be more durable.  Very disappointed and will not either recommend or buy any Algreen products again.
