This review is from: Gilmour Metal Oscillator Sprinkler 9832ZD (Lawn & Patio)

Bought it a year ago. Problems that showed up immediately:

- Difficult to adjust how far it would oscillate. Usually spent about 5 minutes after set-up trying to get it to cover only the yard I wanted it to cover.
- Unless water pressure was medium-high to very high, wouldn't oscillate -- or would oscillate for a while, and then stop.
- Plastic oscillation switch was very stiff, and got stiffer as time went on.
- Filter seemed to get clogged up more than any other sprinkler I've had around here. We have pretty clean water in our area of Seattle, but I had to constantly clean the filter -- often several times a day.

Then this summer, after several uses, the oscillation knob finally froze up -- no way to turn it. So into the garbage it went.

I stopped by our local hardware store (they do a reasonably good job of picking good-quality yard appliances) and bought a Dramm oscillating sprinker -- one of the ones with the easy-to-set switches for sprinkler coverage. No more expensive than the Gilmour, but so far it works *much* better. Hasn't had the filter clogging the Gilmour did, and the oscillation switches are a cinch to set.

No instructions for its use were included which was unfortunate. Spent the better part of an hour trying to get it operable and never did. Unable to use it and will return it for a full refund.
