The real deal-breaker, though, is that it just doesn’t pour well. It also boasts “an extra-large filling hole” but this is another instance of the handle covering the hole. The Bloem Classic 2-Gallon Watering Can is a versatile plastic watering can with a narrow spout and detachable rose head, which makes it versatile enough to use in a big outdoor garden or with indoor plants. My biggest problem with this plastic watering can was that the water didn’t fan out of the detachable rose head-it came out straight and the stream moved inward instead of outward. For 10 bucks, it’s not a bad watering can, but it’s not great, either. The big black Room Essentials 2-Gallon Novelty Watering Can from Target has a two-gallon capacity and a fairly comfortable handle but it felt a little off-balance when I tried to carry it full. Unfortunately, this watering can doesn’t come with a rose head (shocking, considering it’s the most expensive watering can I tested), so it’s probably better suited for small potted plants, plants in hanging baskets, or an indoor garden.

No water spilled out when I carried it full and the whole thing felt balanced when pouring. In fact, the handle is actually the perfect size and shape to hang on the spigot while the can fills with water, but I imagine that’s probably not good for the spigot itself. It has a long spout, a four-liter capacity, and a perfectly round handle that offers plenty of room to fill the can with a hose or at a spigot. After being somewhat disappointed with their pricey garden hose, I was skeptical about the diamond-shaped Garden Glory Lightweight Watering Can but it turned out to be pretty great. That pretty much sums up Swedish brand Garden Glory. Worse: A sharp plastic seam on the inside of the top handle makes it painful to carry when filled with two gallons of water (but if you always garden with gloves that may not be an issue). Both handles are textured for grip, but the “texture” is cheap and uncomfortable. This can might have even been my top pick if it weren’t for the terrible handle design. The removable rose head has a nice full spray and it has two handles that don’t block the fill hole.
This ubiquitous lightweight plastic watering can is popular-and for good reason. You’ve probably seen the Union Watering Can with Tulip Design in somebody’s yard or shed at some point in your life.
