Customer Review: NOT MADE IN USA ANYMORE!
Summary: 1 Stars
i specifically bought this sprinkler because the description above clearly stated that it was made in the USA. however, the sprinkler that arrived was made in CHINA, not the USA.
thanks a lot, nelson, for betraying your customers and your American employees.
Customer Review: Backyard Workhorse
Summary: 4 Stars
So far so good, got this last week and it's been used a bunch. It had trouble in the sand and also in some light Florida muck. After a hard learned lesson, I keep an eye on it through the first run finding little hang-ups. after finding a problem I make an adjustment of the hose route. A couple of times the arm came off and lost a bunch of water as it gushed out of the hole. The arms just popped right in and back to work. The stopper worked pretty good but it does leak. A good back-up is using a timer in conjunction with the sprinkler. I'm considering a second for the back yard, so yes if you spend time moving sprinklers, I would recommend this. Customer Review: A little on the slow side
Summary: 3 Stars
I need to check the connections and pressure still, but having set everything up last night for the first time, I was dissapointed at the slow speed of the unit. I even adjusted the arms to maximize speed, but it was still crawling. Pools of water were forming in its path so I'm not sure if I'll be able to continue using it unless I can figure out how to speed it up.Customer Review: Great Sprinkler
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this two summers ago so that I didn't have to move sprinklers around all day. An underground sprinkler system was not an option. This works great. I do have to move it a few times to cover different parts of my yard. It covers a big portion of my yard without me moving a sprinkler every 15 minutes. It follows the hose very well and shuts off just fine when it reaches the ramp. Ocassionally the rear drive tires do dig a whole in the lawn. This usually happens if the grass is too tall when watering and it is pulling a lot of hose. Other than that no complaints. I actually picked up another one at a yard sale for $10. One for the front yard one for the back. I am very happy with how they work. Customer Review: Great for lawn renovation.
Summary: 5 Stars
This sprinkler was the best solution for my need to frequently water a newly-seeded lawn. It waters a 50+ ft. wide path where you lay out your hose. The only limit is how much hose it can drag behind it. When it reaches that limit, the wheels just dig into the dirt and the heavy sprinkler eventually shuts off it's water valve on the bottom.
