I've had a variety of watering cans in a variety of shapes over the years. I have to carry water from my kitchen sink, across my living room to my balcony to water plants. I hate it when the water slops over the top or through the spout when I go to water the plants. I also hate spouts that don't direct the water well to the containers on my balcony.
Though small, this has been a wonderful replacement for my older watering cans. It comes with an attached sprinkler head for bigger pots. That can be snapped on to a storage spot on the spout so you can water without it. The long, thin spout makes it easy to direct the water where it should go.
The design of the watering can really reduces slops and spills. It is small but that hasn't been a deal breaker for me.

Cute but of limited use. The “rose” or sprinkler head isn’t really suitable for watering my indoor plants.

For the casual hobbyist, the Bosmere Haws watering can is a decently manufactured watering can. It has a small capacity and can only hold 1 pint (2 cups or 0.5 L) of water. However, it's perfect for keeping the soil indoor house plants moist. If you're looking to soak your plants in water, I would suggest going with a larger capacity watering can of at least a gallon (about 4 L).
The watering can is constructed out of a glossy injection-molded rigid plastic resin. As opposed to hollow handles of cheaper competitors, the Bosmere Haws model features solid plastic handles. In this particular 1 pint model, the handle strength is not a design issue because it's so small. However, for a watering can of a significantly larger capacity, I think the solid handles in Bosmere Haws models would be better suited than it's competitors to withstand the functional stresses of regular use.
As for the issue of the detachable showering head, I can definitely foresee it being an issue. Bizarrely, the showering head is made out of a different plastic than the hard plastic body of the watering. The head is made out of a softer, flexible plastic that scratches up easily. Because the attaching sleeve is too flexible and constructed too thinly, I am not surprised that many people have experienced the showering head cracking at the base where it joins the watering can. Strictly speaking about its function, though, the perforated tin holes of the shower head delivers a soft, diffused stream of water. Furthermore, I should note that I experienced some sloppy, errant leakage using the showering head.
Overall, I really enjoy my Bosmere Haws watering can. It definitely has its flaws, but for indoor use, I love its size for giving plants a regular drink of water. I picked out the red watering can, and it's a bright and glossy cherry color. Hopefully, I won't be experiencing too many issues with it in the future. I'll update my review if I do.

I’m a toddler teacher, and I love the design and how toddlers can use it. Had one for over 10 years but when bought this one broke after the second day of use. Which could have my money back
