Amazon.com Review

With 85-foot-diameter coverage, fully adjustable to a full or partial circle, you'll love the power you can get out of this pulsating sprinkler. Distance control can be adjusted, and the sprinkler has an all-metal head. In addition, the flow-through design allows the pulsating sprinkler to be connected in a series, and the weighted, heavy-duty sled base makes it stable and easy to move. Limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best sprinkler I've ever used., July 14, 2001

This review is from: Melnor 9538 Deluxe Pulsating Sprinkler With All Metal Head (Lawn & Patio)

The Melnor 9538 metal head pulsating sprinkler is the best type of sprinkler I ever used. Its sleek green sled base keeps the sprinkler steady while in use without wobbling. The sprinkler itself operates virtuously flawless. In fact, this sprinkler will even do a partial or a full circle in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions with very little water pressure in use. Also, the jet can be adjusted for more enclosed areas with the metal deflector to cause the jet to flow downwards or create a more diffused spray with the diffusion screw. The best part is that since it is a metal head, it won't become scorched or break as easily as do plastic sprinklers. Overall, this sprinkler outperforms leaving the other sprinklers obsolete.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Rating for a low cost lawn sprinkler, April 3, 2006

This review is from: Melnor 9538 Deluxe Pulsating Sprinkler With All Metal Head (Lawn & Patio)

I've tried cheap sprinklers, fancy lawn articles and have been disappointed with many. Breakage is common when purchasing items in retail stores. Or they are rediculously expensive.

Until I replace the many lawn heads and broken feed supply lines on my in ground system, I am using the old fashioned type.

I was really pleased with the ease of use, the instructions and the quality of the Melnor 9538 Full or Part Circle Sprinkler with Metal Head.

The Green plastic base looks silly but it very useful.

When a product is good, easy to use, I have no problem giving it a 5 star rating or my time to review it. I have high pressure in my water lines, so chaining two together did not present me with a problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Sprinker - Excellent price, October 11, 2004

This review is from: Melnor 9538 Deluxe Pulsating Sprinkler With All Metal Head (Lawn & Patio)

It feels somewhat ridiculous to be writing a review on the performance of a sprinkler, but this one warrants the effort. Over the past few years, I have purchased approximately 10 sprinklers. This is, by far, the best. To sweeten the pot, it is also the cheapest I have bought.

Normally, when I see a sprinker say its range is 50, 60, 70, etc. foot diameter, I immediately discount that range as some theoretical, laboratory-type performance (no wind, perfect water pressure, etc). Without being a total geek and pulling out the tape measure, I can say it has done easily over 75 feet on my front yard, and it does so with a good, strong, evenly distributed spray.

The plastic-sled design is heavy enough to keep the sprinker anchored so that the impact mechanism functions flawlessly and accurately. I've purchased 3 or 4 "spike" design impact sprinklers and, invariably, the ground at the base of the sprinkler gets saturated, so the sprinkler wobbles, tips, and the next thing you know, you are watering your trees and not your lawn.

I just bought two more before it is no longer available. This one is well worth your money.
