 Noodling Along! Apr 17, 2008
By WindyWu
"linda"
I had seen this product offered in gardening catalogs for a couple of years and finally decided this was the time to try out this unique sprinkler. And I am thrilled that I did.
We have all heard that good things come in small packages..and this is proof of this adage. You can water fairly large areas by spreading out the 'noodles' and then adjusting the water output to the desired flow. The same is true when watering smaller and odd shaped areas. The 'noodles' are quite flexible and easy to adjust.
The Noodlehead comes with a lawn spike to ensure it stays where put and does not tip over. This is probably my only complaint..the unit itself is lighter than I expected and is difficult to place without the spike.
If you have odd shaped areas to water, this is the answer you have been looking for. If you wish to water ordinary flat lawn areas, you are better off with another more traditional sprinkler.

 Really fussy Jun 06, 2008
By Terence McArdle
"Terry McArdle"
The Noodlehead worked fine, up to a point. The sprays from each Noodle went up to about eight feet away. Each Noodle doesn't really spray a lot of water, so be prepared to point three to six noodles at one spot if you want to really cover a specific area.
I also found bending the noodles to be vey fussy and time-consuming. Often the Noodles bent back up over time and had to be repositioned. I finally gave up and got a traditional oscillating sprinker. That worked pretty well, and didn't have to be readjusted.
My bottom line: it's a fussy novelty that might be perfect for some folks, but I won't be buying more than the one I tried.

 Unique Problem Solver Jul 14, 2007

This sprinkler has solved a problem I've had for years - how to water the narrow strip next to the driveway. I can now water small oddly shaped areas without wasting water.

The sprinkler for all places Mar 18, 2007
By Marilyn E. Schneck
This little sprinkler is amazing. Individually point the 12 sprayers to cover exactly the area you want. Aim more than 1 at an area needing more water. Saves water by not watering walkways etc. I love it.

Perfect pocket size sprinkler for bonsai farms Aug 14, 2008
By MG Tisdale
Yes, its small.
The concept is terrific - direct the various "noodles" in the direction you need and walk away.
I purchased based on reviews (and amazon's awesome free shipping, yeah!)but did not think to check out the actual size..this is a very small sprinkler. It is the size of your fist and each noodle is the size of half a drinking straw) Very little water comes out of each straw.
Also, moving the noodles needs to be done while the water is running, so you can see where to aim the noodles. This is time consuming and the noodles don't stay bent...they slowly move back, usually directing water onto your head while you try to bend the rest of the noodles, which must be highly entertaining for your neighbors!
Why 4 stars? It cost around $14 and as long as you know its small and will only water a small area, that is perfect for folks with small townhouse gardens or an unusual shaped place...the oscillating kind of sprinklers tend to break easily so this might be a good option for some people. Also, watering slowly is a good thing..let the water percolate slowly instead of blasting into the ground and running off, right?
Just be aware the noodle concept is a bit of a gimmick but might work if you know what you are getting.
Happy gardening!
