Oval 5L  painted hot dipped galvanised steel body with all brass oval push on removable rose; single handle; 1485g empty weight; 6825g full; long reach spout; 8 colours available.

Comments

Comfortable single handle which helps to tilt the can whilst pouring.  Rose can be used both upwards and downwards and produces a fine spray. Easy to fill.  But awkward to use to water hanging baskets or anything at a height as the rose does not fill with water and the can has to be placed at an angle to achieve this.

Top scorer for performance.  Handle comfortable in use and tilting action helps to empty the can very quickly.  Spray is quite strong and not suitable for seedlings.

Heaviest tested. Very strong body. Quick to empty but drips around spout connection where it is pushed on.  Spray is not very fine.

Round 6L plastic body with oval  brass and plastic push on removable rose and plastic down spout; two handles; 712g empty weight; 6955g full; long range spout.

Comments

It can be used with one hand but doesn't feel as secure as using with two. The  spray from brass and plastic removable rose was fine and covered  a wide area.  Handy measurement guide on front of can makes it easier if you are mixing plant food and rose holder allows the rose to be stored on can when not in use.Smaller opening meant it was not so easy to fill from an outside tap.
