This set by Ruco includes two simply and elegantly designed gray watering can attachments in different sizes. The inner diameter of the larger model is about 2.8 centimeters, so it is intended for watering cans with a capacity of ten liters. The inner diameter of the smaller version is a good 2.4 centimeters - it goes well with watering cans that hold up to five liters. Amazon reviewers consider the savings casters to be a "worthwhile purchase" because they enable accurate pouring. With the aids, the water should no longer end up unintentionally on flowers and leaves. The build quality is praised by most customers.

We gave third place in our watering attachment comparison to the attachments from the brand with the unpronounceable name XWSZSZ1, which, unlike the other two recommendations, are not intended for watering cans, but for standard PET bottles. So they are aimed at all hobby gardeners who want to water their plants in the most modern way. The plastic attachments are designed in a playful flower shape, so that - when screwed onto the bottle - they also act as real eye-catchers on the windowsill. Incidentally, the attachments offer two options for dispensing the irrigation water: either via a classic watering spout or via a watering spray for a particularly fine stream.

Purchase Criteria

purpose

What exactly do you want to use the watering can attachment for? Models for spreading irrigation water as well as special versions for specific "conveyances" (mainly fertiliser) are available. A special feature are so-called casting beams, also known as wide casters. They enable economical and targeted watering and fertilizing. There are also various attachments for bottles, so that you can simply water your plants with a standard PET bottle instead of a watering can.

material

Watering can attachments are usually made of plastic. It doesn't really matter what kind of plastic it is made of. The most important thing is that there are no plasticizers or heavy metals in the material, as they can harm health - both human, animal and plant. There are a few robust attachment devices made of metal - this must then be corrosion-resistant.

functionality

Most watering can attachments have no special functions. Above all, however, those attachment devices that also enable the application of fertilizer can be partially adjusted and thus ideally matched to the needs of the respective plant.

color and optics

Of course, the color and the general appearance are not elementary criteria. But if you're a passionate aesthetician, this trait may ultimately make the difference. Does the tone of the watering attachment harmonize well with the color of the watering can? Would you even like to buy a playful version? For example, models in the shape of flowers are commercially available.

scope of delivery

A watering can attachment rarely comes alone. Many manufacturers offer their products in practical sets. The attachments can be completely identical or vary and increase the flexibility of plant watering with different heads.

Price-performance ratio

While a watering can attachment is useful, it's anything but high-tech, so don't spend more on it than you absolutely have to. When making your individual comparison of different attachments, always take a very close look at the price-performance ratio. In our opinion, five euros is the absolute maximum for a simple shower head. Up to ten euros is fine if you want a specific version for fertilizing or want to buy a set with several attachments.
