Tree Genie L (Gen 2)- Single Cable Operation, Water Level Indicator, 5 Stabilizer Feet, Up to 8 Foot Trees - Christmas Tree Stand

Worth every penny. If you are considering purchasing, do it. You won’t regret it. This was a huge improvement over our previous tree stand.I love the foot pedal to secure the tree, I felt confident I was getting a very secure hold and that the tree would be straight. The Wii k release worked exactly as described when it came time to take my tree down. I was able to do setup and takedown SOLO! Also the water level indicator made watering a breeze. Took all the guesswork out.

This the best tree stand we have ever purchased. We have bought many over the years and they did not stand the test of time. This is one is compact but sturdy and easy to use.

I have always been more of a metal is better than plastic kind of person (willing to pay more for assumed quality, durability, and longevity of metal products), because of that, I was slow to make the move to the Krinner tree stands. After a string of several different relatively expensive, but flawed (rust, bent screws, locking nuts coming off in tree trunk, instability, etc.), old-school and supposedly heavy-duty metal tree stands, the many positive reviews of the Krinner stands convinced me to try one out a couple of years ago.Tonight was Christmas tree #3 up in this much better stand. Youngest son remarked that this was so much quicker and easier (lower stress) than the other stands. I had to agree, and decided this was definitely a product worth the effort of posting a review for.1. The tree goes up easily in a minute or two (no adjusting, readjusting, tightening, and loosening several times over several minutes) 2. Stand is stable/sturdy (stabilizer feet=+) (no fear of tree tipping over when slowly moving stand for light placement and decorating - same is true when loading on ornaments, even several relatively heavy ones) 3. Less frequent tree watering is required due to the large water reservoir (water level indicator is pretty good at letting you know when to fill) 4. Quick and easy tree removal after holidays, with no corrosion control effort/treatment of stand (rust fighting ) needed.They aren't the cheapest stands, but in my experience so far, they're worth it. -- **6 years after purchase (Dec 24), works completely as good as new (absolutely not a single problem with any component of the stand) - I still love this game changer of a stand **

Every single year, our family purchases a minimum of an 8ft live tree for our front bay window and every single year, we fight with a different tree stand that is supposed to do the trick and handle each tree.I can tell you that I have never written a review before but I am compelled to write this one about this product.We purchased the Krinner Christmas Genie XXL Deluxe and it was the easiest stand to unpack, place the tree in and fill with water that I have ever experienced to date. It actually took me longer to open the box from Amazon and The Krinner box than to set the stand on the ground next to the tree, place the tree into the stand and press the pedal 4 times and I was done!Extremely easy to use, very sturdy and well built, this particular model can handle up to an 8 inch trunk of a tree with ease. Our trunk was 7 inches and there was plenty room left to expand. The water level indicator is very helpful as well. Fill the middle of the stand up with up to 2 1/2 gallons of water and the indicator will rise from the stand as you fill, indicating how much water is in the base. As the tree consumes the water, the indicator will lower back into the base until it is equal with the base. Simply, no sight of indicator means no water in the base!The base is very wide, not made with cheap plastic and has a thick cable that is intertwined through the clamps which in turn secures the base of the tree.Spend your energy positively this Holiday Season instead of fighting with a tree stand. I guarantee that you will be “one and done” with buying any further tree stands for many years to come. Merry Christmas!

I have struggled with the old tree holder that have the screw in adjusters for trunk. They hurt my hands. This new holder is so easy. Love it.
