Krinner Christmas Tree Genie XXL - Green Tree Stand - Original Single Cable Operation, Holds up to 12 ft Live Trees - Foot Pedal Setup & Water Reservoir with Level Indicator - German Made

If you get a real tree, you need this stand!! I was skeptical to pay this much but it's worth every penny. It's an investment that will last for years. The craftsmanship is incredible! It is ready to use out of the box, and is very hefty/sturdy so there's no concern about it tipping over. It's so easy to use too, my husband did it without me even needing me to assist. Took less than 2 minutes. The water indicator is so helpful with watering too. We bought this to replace an old plastic one with rusty screws and we're not looking back! I'm so happy with this product and can't wait to enjoy it for years to come!

This is by far the best tree stand I have ever bought! I bought the xxl size. It is well made, has great features, and is a great guy for the money. It is very heavy duty and weighs a lot to help assure the tree will not fall over. Not cheap made. Very easy to put the tree in. One person can do it with no set up out of the box. You just open the clamp, set the tree in it, and step on the lever to clap it in. It has a great water level indicator to let you know when the tree needs water. No guessing! I am very impressed with this product and would recommend it to anyone!

This stand is probably one of the best products I have bought in the last few years. There are a few outstanding features that I would like to discuss in now particular order. 1. The built in water level indicator is quite helpful. No more do I need to futz with a seperate water source. Just pour the water into the base and you can see the water level with well marked lines. 2. The ratchet mechanism is well designed and easy to use with good feedback with the claws. The claws work extremely well and provide a solid hold with each person press of the lever. No more do I need to turn the eye screws of old. Additionally the old eye screw method used to become embedded in the trunk often causing more uneveness. 3. It is heavy enough with the additional water that I don't worry about it tipping over even for a 9 foot tall tree.So no more fishing line tie ups. 4. The cable that is between the claws are sturdy and well made resulting in a solid hold with equal pressure all around the trunk. The other tree stand eye screws would occasionally start to bend or become loosened if the tree started to dry out so the ability to do a quick ratchet if that happens will be helpful

TLDR: easy & convenient to use with a small learning curve. If you get very skinny trees, pick the base size closest to the height you usually get. Great for crooked tree trunks but when inserting the tree, ensure the trunk is centered in the base and trim off any branches and knots that will be in the way of the clasps. This is an amazing quality stand. Definitely read the directions before and you’ll notice that it says to only fill the water until the floater just pops up. It can def hold a lot of water and the float is super helpful. I have the XXL and a 7-8ft tree so I could have gotten the M-L but wanted a stand that could grow with us if we lived somewhere we could have a much bigger tree. I noticed that our trunk is on the skinnier side and if you get trees with skinnier trunks, I would stay closer to the appropriate max height size as I’m not sure this one could hold well a tree too much skinnier than ours. Haven’t had issues with ours *leaking* water on its own per se. Which the instructions note can happen with overfilling and improper storage. But we had an issue where we had to move the stand around once it already had water in it and I noticed a tiny bit leaked out around the bottom so just be aware. Now for possibly the most important thing I noticed- the stand can 100% hold straight a very crooked tree trunk *IF* you make sure your tree is centered in the stand and you trim off any branches or knots that are close to where the feet that hold the tree in place are!!!! The people who cut our tree cut it at a HORRIFIC angle and we didn’t have the tools to fix it ourselves when we noticed it. The first two times we tried to install we had issues with it not being straight no matter what we did and leaning worse and worse every time we looked at it. BUT we got under the tree and noticed that 1. Our tree was definitely off centered within the base and 2. some low branches and some significant knots in the wood were preventing 2 of the clasps from fully and firmly engaging the trunk- the corners of the clasps were hitting and getting stopped by branches and knots. So the clasps closest to the tree were basically pushing the tree sideways toward the clasps that were barely engaging the tree. We recentered the tree in the stand and trimmed off the lowest branches with gardening shears and used an old knife to trim down the knots and once we did that, all the clasps were able to equally engage the trunk and we have had no issues yet. Also, I echo what others have said about only tighten until you feel it stop, don’t over tighten or you will have issues! Overall, I would definitely recommend this stand to everyone. It has a small learning curve but is super easy otherwise!!

This is the best Christmas tree stand we’ve ever owned! I had done some research before and this kept coming up as highly rated and recommended even when being at a higher price point. I finally pulled the trigger and bought it for our tree this year and it was the easiest tree stand I’ve ever used. Followed the directions and did NOT drill a hole in the tree trunk, put the tree in the stand, and with a few pumps of the foot pedal, the tree was up and secured. It took less than a minute to put the tree up this year compared to past years of the back and forth of trying to get the tree to stay straight! The water float to see the level of water and knowing when to fill it until is another amazing feature. No more overfilling and having water everywhere! I had also recommended this tree stand to other family members who were hesitant at first, but once they were able to put their tree up so easily, they immediately loved it as well. I would 100% recommend this tree stand to anyone as it is absolutely worth the price to reduce the headache and hassle of other stands!

A substantial Christmas tree stand that worked easily out of the box. Used on a 8 foot tree - anchored the tree solidly and it looked perfectly vertical. Large water basin with a built in indicator as to water level. Was much easier to use than our last stand which had screw in bolts that never seem to grab the tree solidly. First year using - but seems like it should last many years. Highly recommended so far!

Best ever!! It’s amazing. Put the tree up with an 8 year old without stress and in less than 5 mins

I did the math. We bought 6 different tree stands over the last 10 years. All 6 were garbage. The plastic wasn't strong enough, the water basin wasn't big enough, the screws wouldn't keep the tree straight or secure. I did my research & this stand was at the top of everyone's list so I figured I'd give it a shot. This purchase made me sooooo happy! We put our tree up on Monday, December 11th & we took the decorations off today, Monday, January 8th. The tree is still green, needles are soft & still attached to the branches. It took us 5 minutes to get the tree setup, straight in the stand & solidly locked in place. The reservoir is huge & the water level gauge is life changing. I don't write many reviews but knew I had to review this product: it is worth every penny. Extremely high quality, sturdy & functional. I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase.

Recommended by a friend. Excellent quality. Absolutely solid. Does a brilliant job to support and water the tree

Compré este soporte porque buscaba tener mi árbol de navidad fresco por más tiempo. Es muy sencillo, tiene un pequeño pico en el centro de la base, ahí es donde tienes que “enterrar” el árbol para que quede en el centro y la base pueda agarrarlo bien. Una vez que la base del árbol quede en ese ‘pico’, lo único que debes hacer es bajar la palanca con el pie varias veces (se supone que lo haces con el pie ya que con las manos sostienes el árbol en su lugar). Rápidamente el árbol quedará bien agarrado y tienes que pasar a ponerle el seguro a la palanca para que no suelte el árbol por error si mueves la mueves. Incluso trae una cosita que flota después de que le pongas agua a la base, sabes hasta donde llenar ya que se verá una línea ancha roja que dice “Basta” (en inglés). Se supone que esta base es ideal para personas que vivan en lugares fríos y que necesiten prender calefacción y que por ende, el ambiente de tu casa es más seco y el arbolito se seca más rápido. Pero creo que es perfecto para cualquiera que quiera mantener su arbolito fresco y que además, siga soltando aroma por más tiempo. El fabricante da el siguiente tip: cuando compres tu árbol, pídele al vendedor que le remueva la base de madera que le colocan y corten una pequeña parte del tronco. Esto porque cuando la base del tronco se seca, ya no absorbe mucha agua. Si la cortan, el agua que le coloques a la base podrá ser absorbida mejor. Se supone que una sola persona puede montar el árbol “fácilmente”, yo no lo creo ya que pienso que una persona debe cargar el árbol mientras que otra lo dirige para colocarla sobre el pico dentro de la base y después mover la palanca para fijar el árbol.

Holder tree well, and good well to hold water
