A good sprinkler for watering taller flower beds. Not that well made, but a pretty good sprinkler for the price.

I purchased the first one 10+ years ago. Nice brass fittings and sturdy. Unfortunately, it was lost in a move a few months ago. I purchased a replacement a couple of months ago. So disappointed in the changes/quality since the first purchase, at dang near three times the price. Yeah, I get it, inflation. It functions as it should but it's fragile. Plastic fittings and either decreased pipe wall thickness or inferior material. Either way, I'm careful and needed another one the new home, so I ordered another. The box looked like new, but inside the head was missing and one of the plastic fittings was broken. I understand that you can't hold the manufacturer responsible for what the seller does. But if it had been quality merchandise, I most likely wouldn't have received a returned box of garbage.

It appears to be a quality sprinkler that sits slightly elevated when placed, offering a good range. The build quality is impressive, primarily consisting of metal. However, it lacks the ability to control the water flow, which can be inconvenient for smaller areas. Overall, it seems like a worthwhile purchase.

Problem with traditional sprinklers is that many garden plants get tall by mid-summer and block to water spray. Soaker hoses work well in theory, but are very difficult to get right, especially if your ground isn't perfectly level. And they get in the way when you dig.This sprinkler seems sturdy and can rise above most plants if you plan your garden accordingly. The spray generally spreads evenly, though it is a little too concentrated at its center.I read some reviews that said it couldn't be daisy chained. While that's generally true, there's a work-around: attach a 2-way splitter before the first connection. This way, you can balance the water pressure between the two sprinklers. Worked great for me, though anything more than two at a time might be pushing it.Overall, it's the best solution for my garden without installing a permanent sprinkler system.

I use a lot of these telescopic sprinklers for my vegetable garden. I've gotten a few from the local Canadian Tire that have heavier sprinkler heads, and end up not really being good sprinklers. These ones are great. The sprinkler head is light-weight, so they spin well, and the telescopic poles are sturdier than the other ones I've used. These ones are a bit more money, but they're worth it as they seem to last longer.You can also remove the sprinkler head and change it with another type if that's your wish too. I've done that using a wobbler head, and they still work great.

Well made and nice big even coverage. Does not like being daisy chained with other sprinklers though. Spray area drops off considerably when two or more are linked together. Better to have a timer to turn a few on individually than all at once.

Three main points:First, I bought both the Melnor and the Orbit rotating-head telescoping-arm sprinklers to compare them. I strongly prefer the Orbit model because it provides a more-uniformly-finer droplets of "rain" that distributes the water much more evenly than the Melnor Telescoping model.The Melnor model throws water mostly sideways in streams from the ends of each rotating spout that end up as large drops. It then has a finer mist coming out of the center pole if the spinning head. So the Melnor has droplets that are both too large and too small, resulting in most of the water falling in a "ring" where the primary streams are thrown. By contrast, the Orbit model sprays water out of the ends of each rotating arm as well as from notches along the arm and fine nozzles on the rotating center. So instead of streams/large-drops shooting sideways from the ends of each arm and a fine mist coming from the top, all of the droplets are uniformly small, resulting in much more even distribution akin to a light rain through the entire circle-range of the sprinkler.Second, the sprinkler head is well made out of all metal parts (brass sprinkler head) and works well. (The Melnor was well-made, too).Third, the only downside is that although it is marketed as "high rise telescoping" sprinkler, the 40-inch "telescope" barely rises to an adult's hip. The "40-inch" measurement includes the 8-inch spike that buries into the ground. So it is really only 32-inches (2 1/2 feet) "tall" from the top of the foot-plate to the top of the sprinkler head.I bought this sprinkler to replace a telescoping rotating sprinkler that was five feet tall and was the PERFECT sprinkler in which kids could play because it was taller than most children (and thus didn't spray them in their faces) and threw water high enough that it came down like a fine drizzle. I needed to mount this sprinkler on a ladder to produce the same effect. But because this sprinkler is well built and distributes water very evenly (like a light rain), I plan to build a longer extension arm out of copper that will screw into the existing base and the existing head.

This is a great sprinkler. We now have three. I have been trying to get the correct fittings to join them up. However, this was not as easy as first thought. On the back of each sprinkler, there is a cap that can be unscrewed and a hose screwed on. However, the thread is not bsp(British Standard Pipe Thread), but rather NPT which stands for National Pipe Thread and is the american standard. The NPT has the thread at a different angle. I have since bought 3/4" NPT hose connectors. the original sprinkler,is probably over 20 years now and still going strong.

The Orbit is the best lawn and garden sprinkler I have bought (of a half dozen), although not perfect for the reason mentioned below. I was unsure whether to rate the Orbit 4 or 5 stars, but ultimately decided on 5 stars. (On an absolute basis the rating would be a 4, but on a relative basis, since I have not found a better sprinkler, the rating is a 5.) The rotating sprinkler head provides 360 degrees coverage, and distributes the water spray evenly from the center of the circle to the outer perimeter. The ability to raise and lock the sprinkler head to a height of about 3 feet is another positive attribute, allowing more complete watering coverage if short items are within the sprinkle perimeter (such as short bushes). Another significant positive for many households is that the Orbit works very well on low water pressure (especially important for houses with well water). The only negative quality is that the metal rod is unexpectedly soft and bends easier than I would expect. Consequently, after 2 years of use and numerous bendings and straightenings, the rod finally broke in two pieces and cannot be repaired. Nevertheless, I will be purchasing a replacement Orbit sprinkler since I have not found a superior product on the market.
