There is no rocket science behind this faucet cover. It does what is says. I bought it for our Upstate NY Winters and subfreezing temps. I have never used one before but was recommended to get one by our neighbor who wondered how we had survived the past 5 years without such a device. Since she piqued my interest I did a bit of research online and found this Duck Brand faucet cover. There is absolutely nothing fancy about this item and what you see is what you get. There is a ring attached the cord on the inside of the unit and this is geared to go around your outdoor faucet or spigot. Once you secure that ring you use the green tightener (pictured) to get a snug fit against the side of your house. Works like a charm.

The four stars has to do with the black foam construction around the outer edge. It seems flimsy for what it is and I am wondering if I can get more than one season out of this item? Time will tell. For the meantime, works like a charm and does what it says it should do.

I like it!

The Duck brand cover is easy to apply to outdoor faucets, but may not be of robust, long term design. The styrofoam shell and rubber securing cord both will deteoriate over time. The neutral gray color works aesthetically, but a black exterior could help to absorb sunrays and heat better in frigid conditions. Will see after a couple of winters - it just may be justified by the inexpensive price. It beats the ugly bag of "peanut styrofoam" I used to wrap around the facucet held together by ten layers of duct tape to secure it to the fixture - and which did an excellent job of protecting from winter freezing. Duck brand is just easier and cleaner looking.

Prevented the pipe that joins the outdoor faucet to the laundry from freezing. It did its job. It's a bit trickier to attach than it first appears to be, and came off during a blizzard, which is how we KNOW that it prevented the pipe from freezing. A frozen pipe led us to check the connection and we found it in the snow about a foot from the house. Re-attached, no more frozen pipe.
