It holds a lot of water but takes up little space. But none of the testers in our panel enjoyed using it compared with some newer options. They found the Bittergurka to be heavy and awkward to hold when full, and the short, wide spout soaked our test plants.
One of our editors actually prefers its faster, wider pour, since most of her plants are housed in big pots. So if you have large, thirsty plants, this model might be fantastic for you. This model recharges with a USB cable, and the battery power lasted through several days of testing and play. We tested several metal cans with large hoop handles and thin spouts, and the Rejuvenation Watering Can was our favorite—until we had to empty it.
Testers liked the look, and the slightly curved spout provided a more-controlled pour than other, similar cans. But with this style of can, the same single tube of metal makes up the hoop handle and the spout; it starts at the top of the can, curves around to create the hoop, and runs through the inside of the can and out the other end to create the spout.
This made emptying the last dregs of water almost impossible, like fishing pennies out of a piggy bank. My husband hated how slowly it poured. Our kid tester just appreciated the dinosaur design, but when she picked up the can, she spilled water on herself from the fill hole which is placed too far backward. But the open top made it harder for some testers to avoid spilling water.
And we enjoyed the fun, retro look of the bright yellow version we tested. I bought this can for myself a couple of years ago, and trying to water my desk plants without drenching the place has been nothing but frustrating. Our testers liked the look of this can, but other models were less messy to use.
They have the same style as the Rejuvenation can , with a single piece of metal tubing making up the hoop and spout. And we had the same problem with these as with the Rejuvenation model: It was almost impossible to empty the can completely. But it holds just 11 ounces of water, which our testers found to be an impractically tiny amount. And because the handle is so small, this can is difficult to hold with more than two fingers. And, due to its cute, sitting-elephant shape, it made us happy whenever we viewed it in testing one of our supervising editors owns and loves it, too.
But it was heavy and hard to balance. All of our testers found that it leaned forward, so it was difficult to prevent water from flowing out of the spout before we reached our test plants. This is another can with a single-piece handle and spout design; so, again, because of the inner tube design, it was hard to get the last bits of water out of the can.
It was heavy to lift and awkward to use. The spout was too close to the body of the can. So testers had to be very close to the plant to get any water on it at all. We know some people skip the watering can and opt for whatever they have in the kitchen or elsewhere nearby. But we were not fans of these jugs—or any measuring jug or glass from the kitchen—for watering plants. We know their intended use is not to water plants, but this measuring jug and the water glasses we tried dumped water everywhere.
On the plus side, the OXO jug made our testers realize the value in buying an actual watering can. We tested the Garden Glory 8-Liter Crystal Watering Can as a possible large-capacity plastic indoor can, but it is simply too big for indoor houseplants. Despite its drawbacks, I loved the look of it and kept reaching for it to water my container garden outside. The Novelty Lucky Duck Watering Can , which holds a gallon of water, was initially on our list as an indoor watering can.
But we found it worked much better on outdoor plants. When you pour, it gives off a thin sheet of water, which I liked for watering my container garden. But the fill hole is on the back end of the duck, so when this can was full, it sloshed water on several of our testers as they picked it up. The Bosmere Haws 1. Availability in summer was also low. The Bloem 2. Our previous writer thought it was sturdy, versatile, easy to fill, and comfortable to hold with its unique two-handle design, but when we went to retest it in we found it had significant stock issues.
Readers had also flagged ongoing quality concerns, so to be safe we decided to remove it even though it had been a long standing pick. If we can get our hands on it again we plan to retest it in , along with other outdoor cans, to see if it warrants being a pick again. We like that it comes in a three-pack, so you can leave bottles in different rooms to have on hand.
The trigger was also the most comfortable for our testers to use. But if you need a small, cheap mister, this is our favorite right now. The trigger was much stiffer, though, and our testers all found it harder to use if you have a lot of plants to mist, we think it could cause hand cramps. When you squeeze the trigger, it releases a slow spray of water, instead of quick bursts. So it took more getting used to in testing, and more water got on the floor around the plants than when we tried other spritzers.
It also looks cheap: When we opened the package, the water tube that goes down into the bottle was bent. After our testing, the Offiidix Glass Plant Mister was going to be our mister pick. Also, it was the best spritzer we tried for watering hanging plants because the nozzle is aimed up instead of straight ahead.
I broke off the nozzle just trying to open it. A bright pop of blue mixed with brass and wood accents make this a fun, colorful option.
