Warning: that $90 rain barrel setup leaked 3 gallons onto my basement wall

I bought a cheap 50 gallon rain barrel off FB Marketplace for like $40 and rigged it with a $50 diverter kit from Home Depot in Nashua. First heavy storm last week it overflowed through the top because I forgot to add a overflow hose, and the seal on the spigot was garbage too. Water dripped right down the foundation into my utility room soak spot. Anyone else had way better luck with a specific brand or DIY overflow setup before I try again?
