 Performance and Long lasting May 28, 2009
By Pravin Gupta
I have owned one for 15+ years and have found this unit to be excellent. Better than competitive products I have used over previous 15 years. The brass nozzles are what makes this product so great, despite its plastic body (to keep it price sensitive). However, A couple of cautionary notes:
1. The nozzles do get clogged with dirt. I cleaned mine annually in the spring with an ordinary pin
2. Except for the watering arm and nozzles, it IS of plastic. So yo gotta treat this with care. Do not drag this with the watering hose as it puts pressure on the hose fitting. The hose fitting is "glued on" to the direction control mechanism, as I found out. My sprinkler FINALLY got caught while I was dragging it (being lazy) and a couple of tugs on the hose broke it.
I am replacing the broken unit with another one (Unfortuntaely the price has gone up, but I'd rather deal with a reliable product)
Good luck!!

 Very difficult to adjust the coverage area Jun 02, 2010
By S. Li
It is very difficult to adjust the coverage area to exactly what you want. The image on the unit only only gives you an idea, it is not possible to adjust the oscillating angle on one side without changing the other side, and the maximum oscillating angle available when you have it on full coverage is not available if you only want partial coverage. I have spent close to half an hour each time trying to adjust it, and result is only partially satisfactory.

 Large coverage area, but a tad flimsy. Apr 26, 2010
By Byron W. Campen
This sprinkler covers a surprisingly large area, and puts down a lot of water. My only gripe is that it is lightweight, which suggests that it may break easily, but also means that if there is any torque on the hose it will be difficult to get the sprinkler to sit flat. Not that this is particularly hard to compensate for, but it does make usage a tad fiddly.
Edit: Hasn't broken yet, so that's good. Putting a quick-connect fitting on it prevents torque from the hose being a problem, too.

 Did not work for me. Jun 02, 2010
By Joshua Bardwell
After about a week of use, my unit stopped oscillating and one half of the jets only spurted weakly. I tried cleaning the nozzles, but that didn't fix the problem.
I am on well water, and there are a lot of minerals in my water, so it's certainly possible that the nozzles got clogged up or something, but one way or another, this product simply won't work for me. I've stepped up to an impact sprinkler that has been working much better.
When the product was working, it worked fine, but it stopped working shortly after I bought it.

Functional sprinkler Aug 23, 2007
By Kathlyn Storey
"Kathlyn A Storey"
Wish I had waited to order this at the current sale price of $8.79 instead of the $12 I paid. It is worth it if you need a lawn sprinkler. It is sturdily made; Melnor typically produces acceptable products. You can use this in full rotation as well as only half, depending upon the ground you are covering. I expect this item to give several seasons of use.
