Nelson Plastic Pulsating Sprinkler Head and Circular Base 50203

I gave it a 4 because it does do what it's supposed to, but there is a lot of overspray that goes where I don't want water to go. Also, sometimes it leaks at the base of the sprayer

Just what I wanted

I purchased this through Amazon's site but from "Striven." After 15 minutes of use, I noticed that it sounded funny. I went outside and notice that the plastic part had broken off. I know a lot of these type of sprinklers are plastic so I was very careful how I handled it, placing it gently on the lawn. I have made an attempt to contact the seller and I did not get a response. I will not continue to do business with ANY seller if they don't have the courtesy and decency to at least respond to my issue. So buyer beware, stay away from Striven.**Added update: Today is Sept 4th (2 mos later) and I received a new sprinkler in the mail. I increased my review another star, but the company never contacted me to tell me that they'd resolve or "help" me with my issue. I had to go out and buy another sprinkler since I didn't hear back 2 mos ago. This was not an expensive sprinkler so that's never been the issue.

Reliable, durable, works when water pressure is low.

Got four of these for the year. Now that Autumn is here, none survived. Two won't spin left or right. They simply get stuck in one position, but the water comes out. All four had their plastic tops break off. Little tiny plastic pegs hold on the top piece that sits about the yellow wheel. Within weeks of use, one's top broke off. We kept limping along with it and eventually it quit going left or right so we had it on full circle. Then it just quit moving at all. The others suffered the same fate. The top plastic piece broke off because the retaining pegs came off. Once that is off, you cannot use the yellow wheel for anything. Without the wheel in place with the top, the spring doesn't have the proper reinforcement. It will ultimately break. My guess is that the pegs are too weak for any type of prolonged usage. Or perhaps our cats decided to jump on them or some other animal. After a Summer of watering, none survived. All broke in the same place. Also, the little metal weights are useless if you have decent water pressure. The sprinkler will flip over from the pressure so you need a rock or other weight to hold it in place. I miss the old ones from the '90s. They lasted for seasons. The pegs on this are super weak plastic that have no business being on a sprinkler that pulsates with force. I plan to order a metal one instead. What good is it to buy this plastic junk that is not designed to last a year?

Excellent product. Works as described. I purchased 4 of these to cover my large backyard after overseeding this fall. These have worked much better than wave sprinklers I have used previously. These are very adjustable for larger areas. I will definitely continue to use this type for my needs in the future. Thank you.

It does what it's supposed to do - water your lawn/garden. I've had it for quite some time now and have had no issues.

The most reliable brand to buy.

Great sprinkler for a good price....
