This review is from: Gilmour Extra Large Coverage Sprinkler with Adjustable Tripod Base 199TRI1 (Lawn & Patio)

While this sprinkler needs sufficent water pressure to function properly, and I've only had it for 2-3 weeks, for the price it is a quality product that is exceedingly better than the $30+ garbage that you will find in Home Depot or Sears. Covers a hude radius. Customer service was excellent, for when I emailed them to try to determine the difference between this model and the model 999TP, they emailed me back the same day and advised that the TP is the same product but is sold to retailers in packages of 6. After reading the negative reviews on the TP model about feet bending, the sprinkler collapsing and disintegrating the first time they used it, I spent the extra $10 to get a second TD1 model, but cannot imagine that happening to either model, even if there is a difference. My only complaint is that the threads on the plastic coupler where you attach the hose can be easily stripped by the metal male end of the hose, so either avoid overtightening the hose or buy a plastic adapter with a shoutoff valve for $3, the shut-off valve on the adapter comes in handy when you have to move it. A lifetime replacement guarantee can't hurt, either.

This sprinkler was purchased for my vegetable garden. It does well as long as there is not more than 100 ft of hose and if it is very level. I have not had success adjusting the spray to a more of a mist. But when working properly it can cover a large area quickly.

I saw a number of products on Amazon.com and read the reviews on them. Most claimed that it was stable, did not fall over, and was working well over many years.
That was what I wanted. It arrived within 3 days. I tried it out and it was perfect.
Should be good for many years. Needs a rubber hose washer where it connects to the hose and does not leak.
