 Performance and Long lasting May 28, 2009

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!!

Great quality, cheap price! Bought this for the entertainment factor on hot summer days- works great to cool down the kids on the swing set and trampoline-- and waters the grass at the same time!!
 Large coverage area, but a tad flimsy. April 26, 2010

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.

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.
Great price, works well, not 3200 sq ft May 26, 2010

This unit works smoothly and uniformly covers a nice large area, though not 3200 square feet. By my estimation it covers about half that - my yard is 36'x44', and it doesn't quite reach 40' across. (Maybe it's the water pressure?) But it's a bargain.
