A sprinkler that works!

Well constructed!  Great coverage.  I can do the entire front yard and only move the sprinkler once.  It oscillates back and forth rapidly so the area you want watered is covered and there isn't as much pooling of water as with some oscillating sprinklers.  Our neighbor has one and we were always in envy...now we have one of our own.

When I had problems with my sprinkler system that is piped from my canal and my grass was dying, I had to do something fast. I am glad I purchased this. Excellent sprinkler, easy to adjust. Does the job and does it very well !

Quite simply, this sprinkler controller is everything it says it is.  After years with controllers from the popular sprinkler manufacturers with their cryptic interfaces that require getting out the manual if you haven't used it in a month, the Rachio controller is a breath of fresh air.  Installation was simple, just follow the instructions to connect the valve wires (very easy-to-use connectors)  get your controller registered on their site, download the app to your phone, and enjoy the kind of control of your sprinklers like you've never experienced.  No more running back and forth between the circuit you're working on and the controller, turning it off and on.  You can stand right next to the sprinkler to adjust it (or repair the leak), turning it on and off in seconds.  The rain delay and freeze delay are nice features too.  With pictures of each circuit and descriptive names, anyone in the family can run your irrigation system.  You can delegate control to a landscape contractor if you need to.
Warning: If you're paranoid about cybercrime, you must accept the risk that someone might hack your sprinkler system.  Horror of horrors!

I purchased this product because we (my spouse & I) recently planted about 4,500 square feet of grass and needed a cost-efficient way to water all of it. We were quoted many thousands of dollars for a custom in-ground sprinkler solution, so we looked for something that we could set up ourselves. The requirements: it had to be compatible with standard outside faucets, installable without special tools, and not require any sort of custom plumbing work.

After going through the well-written manual and reviewing the installation steps, we took our time to measure and mark the spots where the sprinkler heads would go. We quickly realized that one system would not be enough for our square footage and ultimately purchased two additional systems, but not before setting up the first one and testing it. Laying down the hose and setting up the sprinkler heads was about as easy as one could hope. You just run the hose to the sprinkler spots and cut it, using the appropriate included connectors to attach everything firmly. It requires some strength, but can be done by hand without any special tools.

Attaching the system to a faucet using the included timer or any other timer is also simple. Once it's connected tightly, you can program the system to run on a variety of schedules, up to 4x a day. (One very minor complaint here: If you want multiple waterings a day, the schedule must be spaced evenly: every 6 hours, or every 12 hours. You cannot schedule it to run at 11am, and then 8pm that same day, as that interval is not included in the timer.)

Once everything was connected and running, we adjusted the sprinkler 'throw' distance and rotation to account for our landscape. This too is very easy, although one minor 'quality of life' complaint would be that there is no visual indication on the sprinkler heads to show the current rotation in degrees. If you make adjustments you have to turn the appropriate screw and then wait to see the effect. This doesn't merit docking a star however, since this setup is one-time-only.

It's been several weeks since we installed our 3 Rain Bird systems and everything is working great. Highly recommended!

This thing really worked!  We have a rectangular yard but it was difficult to get one sprinkler to really cover all of it without overlap.  This did an excellent job getting the corners then pulling back in for the lengths.  I would recommend this to anyone that it interested in full coverage and minimal overspray.

Three self-tapping screws (provided, with template for spacing) and plugging in your standard 24v sprinkler valve wires are all that's needed to get this installed. I've never done anything with sprinklers before and I was able to replace my old broken timer with this one and program two staggered watering times per channel, across 2 channels, in 10 minutes. Comes with a battery backup to save settings if power goes out. Door has a lock to keep the kids out. Supports specific day-of-week watering, interval-day watering, and has three separate programs that you can run individual or all together (for seasons, or to get multiple short waterings per day). That's helpful since our front lawn is on a slope, so extended watering just makes it all run off onto the sidewalk. This way I can stagger two short watering times and let the water soak in each time.

I tried all the sprinklers at "Wally's" at my rural house on well water, and none of them lasted one season.  I ordered this one from Amazon and it is on it's second season, so I bought another.  I have a large yard and it is perfect for slinging water all around it.  The only issue I have is that if you hook too many up to one faucet they may not spin - well that was an easy fix.  Yes, the sprinkler leaks a little around the turbine, and yes it is just plastic, but for the money you can't go wrong.  I like it!

These inground sprinklers provide a way to quickly water your lawn without repositioning the sprinkler each time. Once they are buries, just grab the hose and plug it in to water your lawn.  The sprinklers shoot a solid 35ft and distribute water fairly evenly.  Adjusting the aim is very easy, and at $30 each, the price is excellent.  I noted a few issues below, but overall I'm very satisfied with these sprinklers.

You should be aware of a few important things before ordered these sprinklers.  First, you have to dig a 10-12" deep whole, which may be difficult if you have hard rock beneath your lawn.  When filling the hole, follow the instructions and use plenty of rock, or water will collect around the sprinkler and drown it.  If you are placing the sprinkler in a low area of your lawn, you'll want to bury it at a slightly higher elevation (maybe 1") or it will end up in a puddle of water after 15 minutes of use.  Definitely do not allow the head to end up below the ground level.  You could also dig a larger hole and add more rocks to drain away the water, then cover the rock with a layer of soil.

Also, the sprinkler sprays a fair amount of water perpendicular to the stream as part of the rotating mechanism.  This contributes to the puddle of water near the sprinkler head, and also means a fair amount of water will be wasted on the driveway.

I AM SO PLEASED!!! Bought this for my husband.  We have LOW water pressure that more than 1 sprinkler or if someone is using water in the  house, we can't water grass, garden, etc.  I bought this and surprised him and he tried it and IT WORKS GREAT!!! We have a small yard, but he lays out the hose as directed and the train does it's job!

I hand water my acre of grass in the summers and am always on the lookout for a sprinkler that will do me better.

I saw this going at a facility in the mountains this summer and looked like it was covering a huge area. I bought it, and sure enough it exceeds my tripod sprinkler. It's also so much easier to drag around and isn't as much of an eye sore.

I'm so pleased!

Last year I purchased several and changed out all the plastic ones in my front yard.  They performed well and seem to be quite sturdy.  This order was enough to finish the job in my back yard.  Very easy to replace an existing sprinkler if you get right thread size.  Reasonably easy to adjust once installed.  Hoping this will continue to be more reliable and have a long life.

This sprinkler is operating as advertised and I do like it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that is made of plastic and am waiting to see if it endures for a reasonable time.

I live in a newer development which means my front yard is small.  I have several patches of lawn/garden that need to be watered.  Prior to purchasing this I would move the sprinkler several times to ensure everything got covered and I wasn't watering half the street in front of my house (or spraying water all over my house). This gave me two things:
1. I can easily control the SCOPE of the sprinkler 360 degrees so I can water more the just 180 degrees in front of the sprinkler - this allows me to place the sprinkler in the center of the yard.
2. It allows me to control how FAR the sprinkler sprays which means I don't have a one side fits all approach.  My yard is shallow but long.  When the sprinkler is spraying away from my house I have it set shorter, when it's perpendicular I have it longer.

This worked so well for me I've had several neighbors ask me about it and then purchase it.

We had a drought this year and low water pressure. We obtained three of these. The sprinkler sprays fifty feet and covers the ground really well. The sprinkler stays on the hose well also.  These are great and other than having to move the hose once per  cycle, I like it better than my built in sprinkler system for good coverage.

I have low water pressure and other sprinklers lack the sufficient pressure to create motion, but this works great.  Don't drop it, or you may find the device comes out of alignment and you have to manipulate the parts back in place.

I wanted a sprinkler with a built in timer so that the water didn't run all day.  These sprinklers are easy to use and the timers work exactly as expected.  The settings allow setting wide or narrow patterns and the sprinkler seems to work well with low or high pressure.  I would definitely buy this again.

The metal head was pretty heavy for our irrigation pressure. It jammed up. We got a plastic head, and it's back to being amazing! This sprinkler is heavy-duty, so if you have the pressure, this is a great find!
