Not well sealed.
Bought two of these. One lasted a week before it leaked and the other flooded the battery compartment and corroded the terminals beyond use.
Now I have returned to the more expensive, well-known makes as I need a regular timed supply of water to my plants.

Great product for bakers
Just make sure you make your pastry a little thicker than normal before you put in your filling. Lovely crusty pastry - forget the sog!

Brian Wilson's Christmas!
Brian Wilson, after the artistic and critical triumph of ‘Smile’ puts together a Christmas album. that feels more like loss and longing. (He dedicates this CD to his two "beloved brothers" with whom he misses singing carols). He assembled his touring band, plus horns and a string quartet, to tackle eight Christmas standards, a pair of Beach Boys Christmas classics, and some new songs. Brian Wilson's power as an arranger is remarkable and arrangements on here are subtle, clever and inventive. Looking at "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" you’ll find the arrangement sounds almost Eastern European with Russian folk song undertones on electric guitars and a wonderful lead vocal by a confident-sounding Brian fronting good vocal harmonies. The classic arrangements are good; ‘Deck the Halls’ (funky late '90s Chili Pepper sound); ‘O Holy Night’ (subtle old Beach-boys recording sound); ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’ (opens with piano/ flute theme, moves onto bass harmonica/harpsichord with the vocals, ending with an upbeat chorus). Other highlights include ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’ on the carols side of things and the B-B remake of ‘Man With All the Toys’ is interesting; the capella "Auld Lang Syne" is guaranteed to make any B-B harmony fan happy.
The B-B pieces are reinterpreted and the album has a trio of extra tracks; ‘On Christmas Day’ that Wilson recorded many years ago (released on his website), a moody arrangement of ‘Joy to the World’ (late '90s), and ’Silent Night’" (also released on website). Will this album attain the status of Christmas classic?? Well, it doesn't equal the great Beach Boys Christmas Album but, if you are a fan of Brian/the Beach Boys, you will probably enjoy it..
