Scottish Highlands & Islands postcodes: AB, FK, HS, IV, KA, KW, PA, PH, ZE, LL58-LL78, IM, TR, PO30-41 The one downside of this can is its small capacity, although this made it easy to fill, even under a bathroom sink. We don't think this watering can would be great for watering a large group of plants, as it would take forever to constantly refill, but if you just have one or two plants in your collection, this is an excellent option. With other watering cans we tested, the rose (the sprinkler-type spout) can be removed to allow you to pour water faster onto your plants, which is a very handy feature. But with this can, you don’t even have to remove the rose to get the same benefits—with its twistable spout, you can easily switch between "sprinkle" and "pour" modes. However, this watering may be harder to use with plants in high places. We noted that you really have to tip this model to get a strong pour on hanging plants. However, you could always take the plant down to water it—if it’s not too much of a hassle.

"Deciding how much you can comfortably carry is also a factor—if the can is too large, you may not be able to lift, carry, and tilt it as you need to use it," says Stark. Since this watering can doesn't have a sprinkle head, it's best for heartier plants, but it had a great pour for plants at every height, and it was easy to fill and carry. However, it failed the drop test on concrete when full of water: The bottom dented, and the can was no longer able to rest flat. The functionality seemed to be okay, though. For that reason, you'd probably want to use it indoors only.

This watering can also passed all of our drop tests, except when dropped on concrete while full of water. It only suffered a large dent in the corner but didn't leak at all. While this design isn't the most attractive watering can—we think it kind of looks more like a leaf blower—but we didn't mind the trade-off considering how well it worked, especially for watering plants in a garden. The price is quite high and caused us to deduct points for value: You could get other aesthetically pleasing watering cans for less. For that reason, this watering can might be best if you're looking for a good splurge item that also doubles as decor. It would also be a wonderful gift for someone with a large collection of houseplants. Despite its small size, we are fans of this can for its great aim and reach for all sizes of plants. The long spout makes it comfortable to reach higher hanging plants, plus we love the minimalist brushed metal finish. Although the handle wasn't distinctly ergonomic, it balanced well in our hands and still felt comfortable to hold. Ceramic watering cans are heavy and prone to chipping and breaking, so they are not suitable for outdoor use. "Ceramic watering cans come in a huge range of shapes, sizes, and designs that allow you to also display them. Just remember that if you drop one, it's going to shatter," says Stark.Another nifty feature of this watering can is the cap that can be secured over the fill hole. It not only prevents splashing, but it will also help deter critters like frogs that might want to take up residence. The cap does have slits for ventilation, so it won't keep out smaller insects, but we don't consider this a major design flaw.

A reliable watering can is a must-have item when caring for plants inside your home and in your garden. "You always want to look at the handle on any watering can you're considering since you'll spend a lot of time carrying it, holding it, and manipulating it to get the water out, says Jen Stark, a master gardener, interior designer, and home improvement expert, and founder of Happy DIY Home. "It should be large enough for you to comfortably grasp, and it may even have spots for your fingers to go."Regardless of where you use it, a metal watering can should resist rusting—look for phrases like "rust-resistant" or "powder-coated." Copper watering cans tend to be both more expensive and smaller. "They're great for indoor use, and they'll develop a pretty patina over time that turns them into rustic decor pieces, too," says Stark.

Keep in mind that 1 gallon of water weighs more than 8 pounds. Watering plants at ground level with a large watering can should be sustainable for a short period of time. But if you have plants that are at waist level or above your head, such as in a hanging basket on a porch, lifting a full watering can may be cumbersome. In those cases, a smaller watering that requires more frequent refills works better than one with a large capacity, and, as Stark says, "Using a smaller can on hanging plants also reduces your chances of dropping it." For established houseplants and container plants, watering cans with free-flow spouts are best because the water is directed right into the container with minimal spills. The longer the spout, the more precisely you can aim the water. This is especially important for plants in hard-to-reach locations, as well as plants whose lush foliage obstructs the soil. "A longer spout gives you more control to water smaller pots, and plants that are sensitive to water on the foliage will require a longer spout so you can be more precise and avoid splashing the leaves," says Stark.
