My mom held it with one hand around the neck and the other under the can’s bottom she found that this made the vessel easier to hold and control than some of the other cans she tried. When full, it’s a little on the heavy side (just over 4 pounds), but our testers still found it to be balanced and comfy to hold. I had my doubts that watering cans without handles would be comfortable to hold, but all of our testers liked the feel of this one. Designed by student Mathew Devendorf as part of a collaboration with CB2 and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), it’s a perfect decorative accent, and it’s also pleasant to use. And size-wise it’s the narrowest, so it takes up less space on your windowsill, shelf, or kitchen counter (it fit neatly on my 4½-inch-deep windowsill). Why we love it: We think the CB2 SAIC Watering Carafe is the most modern and stylish of our watering-can picks, and it costs only about $20. Our picks include: a can with an extra-long spout for hard-to-reach plants a display-worthy, space-saving ceramic carafe a small metal can from a famous English brand an affordable and versatile all-purpose option our favorite watering can for kids and a large-capacity indoor can. We meticulously researched and tested dozens of cans, and we also spoke with plant and interior stylist Hilton Carter, to get his take on what to look for. And most of them cost under $25, with one worthwhile splurge. Our picks are intended for gardeners of all ages (our testers ranged from 9 years old to 70-plus). They are pleasant to use and a delight to look at. Below we list our six favorites for watering houseplants and small outdoor gardens.
