" ... works great water goes just where i want it with no waste on the sidewalk, Covers a large area without having to move it constanley. ... "
" ... It's also worth noting that two things will affect the effectiveness of the product: (1) water pressure -- which affects how far the water travels from the sprinkler, and (2) wind –– the water may not land where you expect it to on a windy day, especially if the wind keeps changing direction. ... "

" ... You can adjust the width and length reach of the water ... "

" ... I have played with the water pressure to no avail. ... "
" ... When I first received it, one of the spray nozzles just to the right of the width adjustment was already malfunctioning, causing water to barely spray out, reaching maybe 3 feet from the sprinkler (where the test go 20 ft or so). ... "
" ... Actually, more water was shooting out of the seam than the nozzles! ... Note that after the first season I shook the water out of it, and stored it in my shed out of direct sunlight. ... "
" ... All the adjustments are just what I need for the various size areas I need to water. ... The leak was so severe, hardly any water went into the sprinkler. ... "
" ... Still sprayed water but not as far and fast as it did. ... "
" ... I was hoping to be able to just turn it on and water the whole thing. ... "
" ... Doesn't add enough water to the ground. ... Felt like such a waste if water. ... "
" ... When that one broke I thought this would be an upgrade and it shoots a pitiful amount of water. ... "

" ... Plastic outer grip on threaded hose attachment slips but not worth sending it back for that reason alone ... "

" ... Features I haven't had before and so far its holding up very well! ... "
" ... A lot of features to control the spray. ... "
" ... Has lots of cool functions. ... "
" ... The last time I had one was in the 90’s and technology sure has advanced. ... "
" ... However, its best features are its easily-manipulated controls, which can be used to (a) the amount of water being thrown, (b) the portion of the nearly 180-degree arc over which the water is distributed, and (c) the width of the "fan" of water that is sprayed from the unit. ... "
" ... The first season of summer use it worked great, and I really liked its features. ... "

" ... Not top of the line, but it works and covers a very large space. ... "
" ... We'll see if it holds up. ... "
" ... You can water a very narrow space if you want to or a wider area. ... "
" ... This sprinkler really does the job in my 25' x 40' vegetable garden and is easily adjustable for my smaller ones, in spite of the poor water pressure in our 90-year-old pipes. ... "
" ... My local big box didn't have anything this good available. ... "

" ... Controls move freely, you can adjust to water any area. ... "
" ... Love the three way control ... "
" ... The knob changes overall flow, the sliders near it are for the familiar Left-Center-Right adjustments, the two valves on the center of the unit offset the nozzles to help dial-in narrower or wider spray. ... "
" ... The flow control and the turning control are easy to adjust but the stream angles are more difficult to get right. ... "
