Bargain for such a good system
This is product is excellent. Like others have mentioned unscrew caps and add 4,5 or 6 turns of PTFE plumber's tape around the threads (in the right direction) for a lot more fine adjustment. I don't mind doing this considering price is so good, although I would probably do the same to more expensive drippers anyway. I have adjusted them to 15-20 secs between drops no problem. Bag seems tough enough, it has a bar running through the top of it to keep its shape when full and a slit at the top for filling. Black rubber tube is of a decent length and quality and the drippers all work as intended (but better with PTFE tape).I had a 6mm T splitter left from old fish tank so one line feeds 2 big tomato plants and the other feeds 3 small chillies and a strawberry plant. This is also a more efficient way to water plants rather than 2 big waters twice a day. Would definitely recommend and a god send if your away for a long weekend.

Keeping the plants damp
Having read the reviews I bought one. I confirm PTFE tape wrapped around the threads works a treat and makes adjustment more precise. I confirm a small cut off coke bottle stuffed in the filling slit works a treat. The drippers themselves appeared to be fine especially after application of PTFE tape, but then I had problems with disappearing water. I found that poor quality moulding of the hose stubs had left sharp edges (sprue?) which resulted in the hose not sealing properly and leaking water especially when the bag is full. I had to cut the edges off and smooth the nozzles; before assembly I applied silicone sealant.The number of nozzles suits me, but for the price, more nozzles & hose would be cost hardly anything and improve the value of the kit.Adjusting the nozzles is fiddly and not all that precise so I have suspended them away from the plants, and put short length of hose from the dripper to plant.It works, but it could be better. Be prepared to spend time fine tuning it.

Drip fed tomatoes
I bought this watering kit to water a couple of tomato plants. The kit is simple to assemble but there are no detailed instructions for the non-practical. I found the taps an ideal size to getting near the base of the plants but a bit on the small size for adjusting the flow. The adjustment of the drip speed at the low end of the range is a bit tricky but can be mastered. I have set up the kit to water the two plants and estimate that the water will last at least two days, which is what I need. I find I can fill the bag easily with a watering can (without its sprinkler) when the bag already has some water in it - to put in the first water I needed a can with a thin spout that fitted within the filling slit in the top of the bag.I have achieved my goal of a watering system that will water my plants during a weekend away.The only downside of the kit was that one of the taps was incomplete and another wouldn't slow down the water flow sufficiently. However the kit has done my job for a very good price so I am a happy gardener.

Good in principle
Good in principle, but lousy in practice. We required this to water orchids whilst we were away, and thankfully tried it out first. The bag managed to empty itself within a few hours, flooded the various orchids, and that was despite turning all 6 of the 'valves' down to minimal flow. In fact when you turn the valves down, the water comes out of the top of the valve, so you get a fairly fast flow whether you want it or not. In addition the bag stinks of plastic. Using this, unless our system was faulty, is not going to last for than a few hours of watering, and frankly you can do that before you go away. Not impressed. It's a waste of money, or ours was!

Easy to install and fill up
Got this to keep a couple of plants alive while away. Worked as expected, both plants are happy and alive. It was easy to put together, I just needed to drip a hole in the wall to hang the water bag. Bag is large enough to hold enough water for two very large flower pots for a week.

Wouldn't be without it
This is my second lot of this. After many years of use, the bags ripped but the piping was OK so used with hose on raised beds. The kit itself is very easy to install and means that I can go away for work or a weekend and not have to rely on my neighbours. Also makes watering of the growbags in the greenhouse so much easier and quicker. Update: the sprinklers do get blocked sometimes so have to watch out for that if relying on the Big Drippa watering your plants whist you are away - still give 5 stars

Good kit apart from the Y piece. Excellent customer service from the seller.
Used to create irrigation for plants whilst away. The Y piece was faulty and had pin holes that sprayed water.Contacted the seller who responded straight away and offered a partial refund, which enabled me to purchase a Y piece separately. The rest of the kit was quite good with a good range of adaptors. Not sure if I just had a faulty Y piece. Would normally give a very low review but the seller responded so quickly and resolved the issue I feel they need acknowledging. Poor Y piece, excellent customer service.
