Collapsible Garden Watering Can and Bucket
The creative design of this two-in-one watering can makes it function as a portable bucket that converts to a watering can. It’s durable and lightweight, features a hanging loop for easy storage, and saves space because it’s collapsible.
“I got this watering ‘can’ to use for gardening,” says an Amazon reviewer. “We just bought a ton of trees and the hose only reaches a few of them, so I’ve been hauling water. I like the flow of the watering attachment and it hasn’t popped off or leaked at all. The weight is great and the handle is really comfortable even when the bucket is full (I was pleasantly surprised).”
MyLifeUNIT Plastic Watering Can
This 1/2-gallon watering can with a narrow spout is great for watering small potted plants, especially indoors. It’s made from high-quality resin, features a strong carrying capacity and has a comfortable grip. The no-cap design ensures the can is easy to fill with water, as well.
“The fill hole is large enough to mix plant food and fill with water without dripping on the outside of the can,” says an Amazon reviewer. “The handle feels nice on hand. When you walk, the water doesn’t splash out from the spout. The spout is upright so it stores without taking up much space. I love it so much I keep it on the counter because it just makes me so happy. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. So adorable.”

Behrens 3-Gallon Steel Watering Can
This hot-dipped steel watering can provides the strength and durability of steel while offering a vintage look. What’s especially nice about the steel is that it won’t absorb odors, won’t rust and is fully recyclable. The large rose (head) disperses water evenly, but is not meant to be detached.
One Amazon reviewer says, “This watering can is exactly what I wanted. It holds a lot of water. I have had it now for over two months and not a bit of evidence that it will ever rust (that was a worry I had because I’ve read reviews on other cans and rust is a common issue), and I leave water in it most nights. I also leave it outside.The sprinkle pattern it produces is nice and wide and throws the water far, if you let the water go full-blast, which is done by giving it a more pronounced tip forward. But when I want the spray to not go as far, that’s not a problem. I just don’t tip it as much and that controls the spray pattern.”
Novelty Lucky Duck Watering Can
Whether for the kids or just to add a little humor to your watering chores, this 1-gallon capacity, duck-shaped watering can is sure to bring a smile. It’s made of high-density polyethylene plastic for increased strength and durability, while the duckbill squirts for a unique pour stream.

The ergonomic design features two handle positions with textured grip for more control and easy pouring.
“Love this watering can!” says an Amazon reviewer. “The removable rain spout is great, and something I didn’t realize when purchasing was that the spout fits right on that weird little post sticking out of the middle of the can.
