Pros & Cons
Pros
Water flows pretty steady out of the brass faucet. The spout seems fragile but is holding its own for now. Other rain barrels have fittings in the sides to attach connector hoses.
Cons
Took the 6 screws off to find the spigot inside the barrel along with a whole bunch of plastic shavings. The plastic is very brittle and cracks easily. The faucet that you twist into the opening is not even or level.
I'm not sure it's fixable. It's not salvageable. This is irresponsible from the manufacturer! Even in current circumstances it is unacceptable to deliver products that may be similar conceptually, are fraudulent.

I bought the flexible extender and a downspout outlet from the big box store for only a few dollars

I located the outlet upside down on the screen drilled eight little holes and then mounted the outlet with some 632 stainless steel screws washers and nuts

I opted to raise the barrel off the ground using a couple of cinder blocks
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Not too sure how that will work in the long term as the hose might not have the capacity to transfer water out at the same rate coming in

I might paint them black just for looks

I dislike the lack of flow power from the nozzle when using a hose
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I think it should have a water level gauge to see how much water is in the barrel stronger threads for the drain
