Great for low water pressure
Ok to preface this, I originally hated this sprinkler and tried to return it because it was leaking and spraying out water when I tried to use it. Amazon gave me a refund and let me keep it, so I tried to see if I could get it to work. It turned out that problem was with my hose, and it wasn't screwing on securely to the sprinkler. I used a quick connect hose kit to connect it to my hose instead, and now it is working great. If you have low water pressure, I really recommend this sprinkler. The spigot on the side of my house furthest away from our well pump has really low water pressure and most sprinklers struggle to spray the water very far. This sprinkler is AWESOME. It sprays water in a giant circle, really saturating the lawn or dirt in all directions. I would say it's about a 20 ft radius circle around the sprinkler which is great because we have a big yard and it usually takes forever to water the lawn with our old sprinklers. It's great for my garden too, because the droplets are really gentle (like a soft rainfall) so it doesn't disrupt the soil at all, but gets it really wet.

Reliable little gentle rain maker for low or hi pressure
I am at the end of a rural town irrigation lateral. The pressure is pretty low at times. The river water in it contains fine moss and algae and other debris that clogs up sprinklers with tiny holes, and the pressure is too low to operate even a small impulse sprinkler reliably. I gave these little sprinklers a try, thinking if they didn't work or didn't last a season, I hadn't wasted too much moneyI am really happy with the two I bought, after using them hard through the summer. They have never clogged or broken or worn out. I did manage to crack the spike on one when I tried to ram it into hard packed dirt with my full weight behind it, and hit a rock. I can still use it, but just ordered a third sprinkler just in case.I am pretty impressed with the design and engineering. It's very simple. It has a serrated or comb edge spoon shaped plastic spinner that the water shoots up into. The water pressure makes it spin, and the comb edges make sure it sends out a gentle rain of drops just the right size to water not only my grass lawn, but all of my garden as well. It's such a gentle rain that it does not knock plants over or interfere much with pollination. It's gentle enough that the water does not puddle up or run off, it has time to soak in. Yet I can really soak an area in an hour.There are just a couple of common sense caveats Don't try to pull it out of the ground using the heart shaped spinner brace at the top. It can get bent, and stop the spinner. Also, as I mentioned, don't try todrive it into really hard ground or rocks. It's not soft aluminum, but it is not super hardened steel, either.I thought one sprinkler was clogged at one point, maybe a but or a minnow had gone through theline. It was very easy to unscrew the top and make sure the opening was clean. The problem turned out toe be a kinked hose.I rarely get less than a 15 foot radius even when the water pressure is low.My practice is to not write a review unless I get an extraordinarily good or bad product. This was good enough to warrant a review. After using the sprinklers for 4 months so far, I plan to keep using them next year, and try a couple on each hose and see how that goes.

water saving and good coverage
Having low water pressure sucks. These (i've bought 2x) water my lawn well. I hook them to timers and link them together and even with my mediocre city supplied water pressure I can hook up four and get good coverage.

Adequate sprinkler
The sprinkler was adequate for my small front yard. The advertisement touted this sprinkler as a powerful unit recommended for low water pressure systems. The connection and line to my hose suffers from low pressure and I thought this sprinkler would solve my problems, but it didn't. The sprinkler works as well (or as bad as an old plastic sprinkler I previously had so it didn't really help. The problem is more than likely the piping so I can't really blame the issue on the sprinkler. Overall, I would recommend the sprinkler for its sturdiness and construction.

Get this sprinkler!
Maturing is realizing the less moving pieces in a sprinkler, the better. Helps with longevity and reduces water friction to allow for greater coverage. I was very satisfied with the senniger wobblers but then came across this style and considering this one is available for $15 and for 2 day prime delivery whereas the wobblers are a bit more, you have to get an adapter and a stake, and longer ship time, i gave these a shot and they are amazing. only downside is if you have an area that needs a custom spray like a narrow strip or something, but for my 5k sq ft lawn, this is perfect. I have average water pressure, so I can only have 3 sprinklers running at a time or it dies off. With a 5/8 dia. 50 ft hose and 2 other sprinklers running, i get about a 20 ft diameter coverage

Broke like in 2 months 😪
The media could not be loaded. I love this sprinkler. But I didn't last. It broke. Sad.

Great environmentally conscious sprinkler
The media could not be loaded. This is a great sprinkler! It has those water droplets and a misting action. It does not create puddles or plop a ridiculous amount of water on plants at one time. It’s more like natural rain. I’ve attached a video and it looks like the rotation of the water is very slow, but I’m guessing that that’s due to the aperture speed of my phone’s camera. It has no discernible rotation to the naked eye. Just mist and raindrops. To get a little more reach I zip tied it to an extendable stand that another sprinkler I owned was attached to. It broke but I kept the stand and I’m glad I did. This guy likes his new home there.

Small coverage area
This was a mistake on my part, I thought this was an impact type sprinkler, its not.It will work OK for a small urban or apt size yard. Just don't expect it to cover anything larger than a 25'x25' yard
