Nice idea, but has SERIOUS design flaws
There are a lot of things that I like about this watering can. I like the double handle. I like that the double handle swivels. I like the 2.6 gallon size - which is about 22 pounds. Not too heavy, but a decent amount to water plants. I like the dual spout too. But that is where things start to fall short. The end just snaps on, instead of screwing on. That means it isn't a real tight fit and it tends to come off unexpectedly. Also, the dual spout is a fabulous idea in theory, but doesn't really work well in practice. If the can is full, and the spout is in "shower" mode, you get a nice shower out of the bottom half, but if you tip farther, the shower get interrupted by the "pour" spout, and now you have just flattened your poor little plant. On the other hand, if you put it in "pour" mode, water still comes out of the shower part as well, so the water flow diameter is not limited like you would expect. Now your floor/patio, etc. is wet. Also, while I thought the color looked really cool...it is, in fact, quite HOT. That is, if you leave water in the can, it absorbs heat (especially in direct sunlight), and then you are watering your plants with 110 degree water. Ouch!
Update: After using it for a couple of weeks, I have managed to destroy multiple plants as the spout is now falling off every time I use it. In addition, the swivel handle is a nice idea, but it needs to have some kind of stopper on it so it doesn't fall under the can. The picture shows both handles in an upright position on it own, but that is not reality. The swivel handle falls down as soon as you let go of it, and if you let go of that handle first, the swivel handle falls all the way down - UNDER the can. That means you can't set the can down on the ground until you physically grab that swivel handle again and pull it out from under the can. VERY annoying. At this point, I am totally done with this thing and I am sending it back.
