I was amazed at how much sprinklers can cost, and came across this one because it was affordable. I've had it working for about a week now, and have to say that it does a great job, was simple to set up, and gives my lawn an excellent watering every time. Highly recommend this.

this sprinkler out-preforms ALL others in its class and covers more sq. area than all of the 3500 sq. footage sprinklers,i have purchased and RETURNED.like putting a gentle FIRE-HOSE ON YOUR SPRINKLER.

The sprinklers function very well. Metering addition is a nicety. Coverage is adjustable with an in-line valve in supply. Sprinler operates satisfactorily from full volume to a rather low volume.

When I first received this sprinkler and hooked it up I thought, "wow, it works great and I don't have to remember to turn off the hose!". Now a month later after several uses I hook it up again and it won't work. It won't work because the plastic "peg" that causes the sprinkler to oscillate is broken and cannot be fixed...because it's plastic. This is the part of the sprinkler that has to work the most and it's PLASTIC. I won't be purchasing another one because I cannot afford to replace one once a month.

The Unit worked very well and I would purchase another one if needed. I will keep this one and when I require more nits I will purchase the same type. I have a total of three (3) units at this time. I would also recommend this product to any one who inquired about it. I would tell them that it is wel worth the price.

One of the time -a- matic spriklers I bought 20 years ago quit working after about 16 yrs, The other still works well but has a couple of leaks. I'm 76 and my water supply doesn't have sand and or excessive minerals like the stuff I had for the first 10 yrs. of my sprinklers life so I think I'm good for life with the two new ones.

Melnor seems to be all I can find locally and the timers and sprinklers keep falling apart. They are really great for a month or two then the hose connction breaks. If you want a deal I have three broken sprinklers and four broken timers I will sell cheap.

Nothing exceptional, just does what it says at a reasonable price. The parts are all splastic except for the spray extrusions. I use a quick-release hose attachment which is also plastic and therefore the coupling seems to resist springing leaks. I have used it for one summer and so far, I'm happy with it. Oh, I wish there was a better way to measure the timing - I'm not always sure I am appropriately calculating the volume of water I need. Finally, the coverage is accurate but prepared to get a little wet when you experiment on adjusting the limiter.

I am still reviewing this item. It has been functioning erratically. There was no guide or manual in the package.

This sprinlker is exactly what we had wanted as it is the same brand and type we purchased years ago with very little change. It has been very reliable and is still in service, giving a very controlable area coverage. In the meantime, we have worn out similar products of other manufacture. This product can be set for the amount of water desired in the coverage area, a must for proper watering with conservation in mind. We can set multiple units without having to remember when to shut them off. They are automatic.
