Melnor 65003-AMZ Mini Oscillating Sprinkler with Product Adapter Watering Set, On Base, Black, Yellow

Omg this is exactly what I have been searching for all these years.I have 2, 78 feet long by 6-8 feet wide side yards to my house 1 of which is where my back porch is so it's nice to look out to a green lawn. I also have a huge backyard and a nice square front yard. Well let me tell you this thing does it all! I will be ordering a second to get my watering done a lot faster.I started my journey of sprinklers when I bought my house and began with a cheap impact sprinkler I always liked hearing chik-chik-chik-tsssssss while enjoying coffee on a warm summer morning. Problem was even though this impact sprinkler you could configure the height and spray turn radius it could never effectively cover the side yards and even in the front and back needed moved multiple times. I then went with a more high end impact like sprinkler but worked off gears. Which made patterns much easier to control but still failed at the side yards. I then got a cheap 3 sprinkler head watering system for the side yards. The 3 sprinkler system would only cover about 10-15 feet of that 78 feet at a time so I would have to go move them every 15-20 minutes which took up my whole day. The plastic spikes also broke quickly requiring a duct tape fix which leaked everywhere and was a pain to set up. I then decided it was time to try the soaker hose trick so I had an old hose, which I hit with the lawnmower, cut it in half drilled some holes in it and put a wine cork at the end to force pressure. It worked well however some holes would face downward which would cause more of a river to flow over into my neighbors yard instead of getting full coverage. Even the ones facing upwards would give spotty coverage at best.Enter the minimax turbo setup was a breeze and after messing around with the configurations to understand how it worked I was able get it in the right spot to cover 80% of my side yard in about 3 minutes the other 20% is just more side yard that It couldn't quite reach. I was able to adjust the spray pattern to the perfect width of that piece and it's working as expected. My only concern is that the adjustments for the width seem to be a little cheap and I am afraid they might break or stop working. However my adjustment is almost all the way closed so I think I could make it work if that happened.

Love these sprinklers because they are compact yet cover a large area.Unlike pulsating sprinklers, they do not vaporize the water as much so you don't lose as much to the wind. It is also significantly more quite in operation than a pulsating sprinkler.It puts out a nice strong stream that provides great coverage for the size and the adjustability is great. You can shape it for any rectangular space to get just the right spray pattern without over watering or wasting water on your driveway.But look folks, it's made from a mid-weight plastic; if you want it to last, be gentle with it! Don't drag it along the ground. Don't drop it. Use your common sense. Drain it and put it away for winter once freezing temperatures descend. I only ordered one two seasons ago based on some of the reviews. That one held up perfectly fine and continues to function flawlessly. Ordered another one this year because this sprinkler is so versatile.These are great sprinklers and a great value given how much coverage you get from one of them. Highly recommended.
