Superb!
If you don’t have these absent a traditional in-ground irrigational system, you are missing out.At first I started with two 4 years ago, now I’m up to 7. I will need to add one more in 2023. In 2022, I attempted to take a quicker route for a particular spot, I spent more time trying to configured that variable type sprinkler. To no avail in the end.Where needed when the head is far from water source, I’ve buried irrigation tubing from Lowe’s. I don’t like dragging hoses at all to be honest.Other spots I cleverly run matching colored hosing to the source. I never remove the hosing. If you install these on edges, corners, where the water can cover the areas, it’s easier to set something up where your hoses can remain.Build quality is superb. Just watch when adjusting flow where that little red thing will pop out. This items controls distance.You will need to get use to the behavior of the sprinkler head, there are a lot of adjustments you can make. At times not easy- such as resetting where it starts or the degree of coverage.After all these years the next time I buy one it will be like starting over when it comes to adjusting. I never look forward to that part.Overall once set these are brilliant and even more brilliant if you can get a timer controlling each head. Unless you have the water pressure to push water to your entire yard at once, you will have zones.

A poor man's irrigation system
I was researching and calculating how much an in ground irrigation system was going to cost. The grass area in my front yard is approx. 18 X 36. I purchased a single sprinkler and placed it in the middle of the yard. It took about 25 minutes to dig the hole and hook up the hose. Took another 5-10 minutes to adjust the spray pattern. I already had a hose and battery powered timer, so I'm all set. It worked so well in the front, decided to place 2 in my back yard which is 50 X 40. Placed the sprinklers in opposite corners and they overlap by about 5-10 ft. Used an existing timer, added a splitter to support 2 hoses and my city water pressure provides enough for these sprinklers to cover the back yard. An innovative solution that will save you from putting in expensive in ground systems. Total approximate cost for front yard (timer, hose, sprinkler) - $100. Backyard (1 timer, 2 hoses, 2 sprinklers) $170. For those in winter climates, you can unhook the hose and blow compressed air into the sprinkler to winterize the system.

good, with some quirks
This kit is good for fixed areas that needs regular watering, such as a lawn. It avoids the hassle of setting and adjusting a portable sprinkler head. Paired with a good hose timer (like the Gardena 1169 Mechanical Water Timer), you get the convenience of an irrigation system at a fraction of the price. For me, this means the lawn is watered more regularly, which keeps it green and the HOA off my back.I didn't like the included sprinkler head though. The minimum arc of the K-Rain 11003 ProPlus is 40 degrees. In my application, this created a little waste, but it wasn't the deal-breaker. The deal-breaker was the fixed and sometimes unreliable left stop. The instructions call for burying the sprinkler halfway and turning on the water. To set the left stop, you rotate the entire assembly, pack the dirt down, observe, and repeat if necessary. The right side is set using the dial at the top. The installation is finished by burying the entire sprinkler.The problem is that the aim drifts once the soil settles. In addition, the stops drift on their own randomly by a couple degrees. For me, the left stop is my driveway, so sometimes I'd either water my driveway or miss a narrow strip of grass. This variability was irritating and negated the reason I bought the kit in the first place--to save time and water. I ended up replacing the rotor with a K Rain K2 91031. This rotor is adjustable in-ground on both sides, which lets you fine tune the aim to your heart's content. The minimum arc is also smaller at 30 degrees.If these details aren't important, buy the kit and be done with it. If you're OCD and/or the idea of watering concrete is unacceptable, I'd suggest buying just the riser tube from the manufacturer and attaching your own 3/4" rotor. Make sure it pops up at least 5", or else the riser will be too tall.Lastly, out of the box the various joints were loose and the sprinkler was not firmly tightened to the riser. Make sure all the joints are hand tight. This seems obvious, but from reading the reviews for the 2-pack, I think that's what some of the 1-star reviewers were experiencing.

Sprinklers are great!
Have have a small yard at our lake place. These work perfect. Put them on timer and we water automatically! I’m going to order at least 2 more for some garden areas! Very easy to install and work perfect!
