The 5 Best Rain Drippers (2023 reviews)

Compared with other dripper in this category, the raindrip rain dripper has a design with broader appeal. This could easily swamp and root rot a plant in a couple weeks. It is made of polyethylene and silicone treated with uv inhibitors. It features a turbulent flow design that flushes out sediments to reduce clogging. It is great for tomatoes because it doesn't flash up on the leaves.

These ones are the easiest to insert. It is designed to deliver a steady, uniform amount of water regardless of changes in pressure or length of tubing used. It is easy to customize, install, and operate.

Why We Like This:

Flexible and permanent adhesive would be great
One of the new comers and featured product

Best For tomato: Axe Sickle Spray head

Buy on Amazon

If you want nothing but the best desirable dripper, then axe sickle spray head is the one you should definitely consider. These are the perfect watering device for small areas and give good coverage. It works well with RainBird drip kit. The adjustable eight hole drip head offers a convenient way to water areas where conventional sprinkler systems are not suitable. It’s so simple to walk up and dial in the perfect amount of spray/drip. They are very hard to install on a 1/4" hose. They are also a little brittle compared to RainBird branded items.

Affordable and easy to install sprinkler syatem
Very useful for a wide variety of plants
Excellent way to put water on the roots of a plant without wasting water
Better than drippers, gives each plant enough amount of water

Best For vegetable garden: One STOP outdoor Rain Dripper

Buy on Amazon

The one stop outdoor rain dripper might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year, thanks to multiple price cuts and added new features over the past few months. Regular Raindrip drippers install just fine in the same 14 line without heating. It is great for spot watering on an irrigation system and a great value. The couplers that go into the 1/2" poly tube have a type of flange in the center that keeps them from going too deep into the tube so they maintain their seal around the barb. It anchors into the potting soil very securely and doesn't require a separate anchor.

It is fed by a rain barrel supply, gravity fed over a 40 ft pvc run with a 3.5ft elevation drop from barrel spigot to head. The quality is great and adjusting the water flow is a no-brainer.

Why We Like This:

You can adjust or turn off each emitter for each plant which saves water
Adjust easily to control flow of water
Good value for all landscape jobs
You can have a dribble or a small umbrella of water

Best For Watering potted plants: Axe Sickle Rain Dripper

The axe sickle rain dripper should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. These adjustable drippers are GREAT. They are easy to use and work identically to the big brands. It has a 1/4-inch barb thread connection, suitable for 4mm/ 7mm(inner/ outer diameter) tube. It is suitable for pots, tubs, ground cover, landscaped gardens and etc.

These replace them perfectly, whether you need to replace the whole 1/4" sprinkler of just the screw-on heads. They are adjustable so you can set them between 0-13 GPH.

Best For tree: Rain Bird Rain Dripper

Buy on Amazon

Rain Bird is known for creating pragmatic and minimalist dripper for people on the go, and its line of rain bird rain dripper definitely falls in line with that reputation. It is perfect for closely spaced plants or to completely encircle plants, trees and shrubs. It allows soil to absorb water more completely in the root zones of plants. It is designed with large water passages and self-flushing action to help prevent clogging. The higher the rain barrel is the more flow you will have.

It is designed for in-line use with 1/4" tubing. It is easy to use and can adjust drip speed. These are nice and it’s cool that they are adjustable. It is much easier to use than single drip emitters if you have a lot of annuals and perennials.

Why We Like This:

Works great, easy to clean out
Does not cut off water flow no matter which way the flag is turned
Good brand reputation
