The Harcostar 227-litre kit costs £69.99, which is £0.308 per litre, with 4.4 stars from 323 ratings — and it is the only butt here with a five-year warranty.

It takes second because the warranty and the published 7.7kg are the real specification in a category that offers almost nothing else beyond a plastic barrel, and because at £0.308 a litre it is still within ten per cent of the best value here.

## Questions people ask

**Why does the warranty matter?**

It is the only one offered by any butt here, and plastic barrels split at the tap boss when they freeze.

**How much does it weigh empty?**

7.7kg, the only figure in this ranking that matches reality for a butt of this size.

**How tall is it?**

129cm, so the tap sits comfortably above a watering can on the included stand.

**Is it child safe?**

A child-safe lid is part of the kit.

**Why is it second?**

Because the value is good and the warranty is unique, but the 210-litre barrel is cheaper per litre.

**How many ratings does it have?**

323 at the time of collection, averaging 4.4 stars, with 68 per cent five-star and 4 per cent one-star.
