2.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, poor performance for most common usage, August 17, 2008

Is the other reviewer an industry shill? Reviewer based out of CT while "Get Organized!" is based out of PA. I'm still suspicious. Anyway, on to my less than stellar review (I ordered two sets).

Negative
* If you want the most common all around spray pattern you won't get it. The spray is decidedly non-uniform. These are for the square and round hole selections on the head. Actually, if you look at the picture of the product that's sort of what the spray looks like, water only spraying erratically to the left and right sides.
* You may not want to (unlike previous "reviewer" does) connect two sets together or use quick-connects. These will reduce the water spray noticeably (perhaps with the fine spray patterns it would be OK).
* If you want to adjust the uneven spray you will have to pull up the stake and reseat. A few times of this and you hole is too loose for a good seating. So check where the spray pattern hits before seating.

Positive
* The other 4 head are fine spray settings: three 180 degree and one left/right pattern. These work OK. Again though making adjustments to where the water hits requires repositioning the stake.
* System connects together easily (though there might be bits of black plastic in the orange threads you should remove)
* Stakes are pretty tough (but my ground was too hard and I had to use a hammer and stake to prep the holes).
* Selection of spray settings head rotated smoothly with detents.

Note: Get Organized! Has their own web site where they sell a lot of "as seen on TV" and other cheap items ... just saying :)

4.0 out of 5 stars A definite time saver, but you get what you pay for..., July 27, 2009

These sprinklers work, but I wouldn't use them for your lawn, unless you have a very small (less than 200 sq foot) area of lawn. I bought two sets, and use them for my garden. The six sprinklers manage to do the job, and make it easier for me to make garden watering a "turn on the valve and walk away" operation.

I bought these sprinklers from Get Organized, via Amazon. Be prepared for a long wait. The company only ships via discount Ground, (actually a service that harnesses the U.S. Postal service) so it takes a while.

*********

Pros:

* They're a definite time saver. I used to spend an hour (literraly, not exaggerating) to water my garden. Now I just turn on the valve.

* You don't have to spend a big bucks on an installed system.

* You can put them where you want them, and they will stay.

* There are lots of spray options, so you can control where the water lands, to a certain extent.

* They are made of very durable material. (I was surprised that they weren't flimsy.


Cons:

* They use a small diameter hose to connect. That means less water volume. You could get better performance if you changed out the hoses, but that would be expensive, for $20.00 sprinklers.

* You will most likely still need another garden hose, unless what you want to water is within 6 feet of your faucet.

*If you have a large area to water, you will be moving them often.

*If you use them in your lawn, you will most likely leave holes, the stakes are pretty large to hold them in place.

*They are very visible / high profile. They are definetly not "Out of sight out of mind."


****************

Final Thoughts:

Overall a good product, and do what they are designed to do: Take water where you need it, even if you don't have sprinklers installed. They save me so much time, I would definitely buy them again.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, July 7, 2010

I purchased 2 of these, hoping they would take care of my gardening watering problems. Unfortunately, as others suggested, unless you have super duper water pressure, they don't work. Best case scenario, I can get 2 at a time to work. However, my former $1.99 sprinkler head covered just as much area, if not more than these two. I cannot recommend them. Wish I could return them.
