All the 5-star reviews seem to result from the fact that they were written almost exclusively with opened tree. For Christmas I would have awarded 5 star that is also because the positive qualities I agree completely about. But at some point the Christmas season is over, the tree is discarded and the tree-Fix is to be put away until next year. That's not so easy when the water can not be removed completely, because with this construction, a perceived pint in the stator remains after turning and spilling. Although there is something in the soil, which looks like a plug, it can, however, unable to move or open without destroying it, and so can only hope that the remaining water evaporates from the tree-Fix before it passes into decay.
