Super easy to use and they work perfect. You adjust the flow and use your own drinking water bottles to attach

Didn’t work And too crazy busy to even return them.

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.

Tried multiple types of bottles over the summer, they all leaked on this system. Good in theory, horrible product.

Product does not work as I would like. The regular size water bottles are not a snug fit. I had to use plumber's tape to make a tighter fit. It still leaks out the connection, which causes the product to not drip in the proper way. Water does not last in bottle for more than a few hours.

works fine! As for the decorator in my house "these are only to be used when we are away". Does anybody know where I can find decorative plastic bottles? The 1/4" feeder tube is a little short, but it can be replaced with a longer one. You have to be careful not to kink the feeding tube and with the short tube that is not an easy task.

While well made, this device has the same issues as many others of the same design. All the water drains very quickly, soaking the plant and overflowing pots. The adjustment numbers really have no influence on the drip rate. It will also leak easily from the water bottle connection which is a loose press fit.OK, so I hot glued the bottle. Then I epoxied over the drip hole and drilled a much smaller one. The design of the dripper meant that the water simply came out of the air inlet slot. I made sure the dripper was vertical since it has a float valve inside, and managed to get the drips slowed to the point that a 2 liter bottle drained in 48 hours. But, this still soaked the large hanging basket plants, overflowed onto the floor, and didn't come near what I'd hoped for during our ten day vacation.I ended up taking the plants down and running feeds from our outdoor drip irrigation system. Pretty much money wasted.

I bought the Hydrospike Drippers to use to water plants while away on a 10-day vacation. I also bought a package of the traditional water spikes that you screw a plastic bottle onto and holes in the spike allow the water to flow - but you cannot control the amount of water. I used both products for my vacation and liked the idea that the Hydrospikes would deliver a controlled amount of water to plants, rather then flood my plants with a continuous stream of water. I don't however know that all of the Hydrospikes maintained the drip setting I selected - it seemed like 2 of them were dripping at the right amount before I left for vacation, but when I got back had stopped dripping despite the fact that water was still in the plastic bottle and the plant soil was dry. Perhaps a gust of wind or a curious chipmunk bumped the set-up and caused the water dripper to touch the soil and get clogged or hit the bottle so that the hose got a small "crimp" in it that prevented the water from flowing. Although, this is just giving the product the benefit of the doubt as I could not visibly tell that anything was moved or disturbed at all, which may mean it's a product flaw.I think it's important to test this product out for a few days, following the directions carefully, to see if you get the desired results before leaving for vacation. Considering that I live in the South and that without any watering, my plants would have absolutely died while I was away - I do think that the Hydrospikes helped keep most of the plants alive. Again, I used these spikes in combination with the more traditional watering spikes to keep my bases covered and plants alive and well. All in all, I was happy with both products and will continue to use both.
