I bought 2 boxes of these for some new rose bushes. The first box looked like it had been opened and returned. One of the units was in pieces. I put it together to match how the other units were put together. They didn't work good at all. It wasn't until I got the second box that I realized that all units in the first box were put together incorrectly. Now that everything is put together right, they work great! I'm glad I got the second box or I would have never known. I would recommend them. A little bit of water for my new roses when I am gone will help a lot this summer.

The automatic dripper device seems quite easy to install except for the designated plastic bottles that are supposed to be used to hold the water. The instructions show that the bottom part of the bottle has to be cut off -- I assume so the water goes down evenly, but only the smaller bottles can be cut at the bottom. For the larger bottles they direct you to use, such as the Essentia (1.5 liter), the plastic bottle is so strong that the bottom will not come out. I have used an ice pick, a sharp pointed knife, scissors, and any other sharp tool I can get my hands on. If the seller or anyone has a suggestion as to what tool to use to cut out the bottom, it was be much appreciated. The Essentia water bottle has the largest volume so I will need it for my bigger pots. Thank you very much in advance!

This may be a good idea but it is poorly executed. The drip settings does not work properly. I selected settings 1 (for small container plants) and used 1L bottle (33.8oz). After only one day, one third of the bottle had already dripped. That means that your small container plant would receive one little of water within only 3-4 days, which is too much. If you are planning to use this while you are on vacation, better look for another option.

Well I thought this dripper would be OK to water my special vegitable plant for when I was on vacation. HoweverI found that the bottle had fallen over when I arrived back home. The other problem I had occured before I even started to use this Dripper. The problem was to find large cola bottle (~ 2litters?) with the right diameter size hole to fit this Drippers vertical stake into it. The vertical stake need's to be tapered to fit any Cola bottle.

not as good as the bulb style. these only last about 1 day before they are empty
