 You'd be better off giving the dog extra water and putting him on the lawn. Oct 06, 2008
Like most others have noticed, this piece of junk stops oscillating at random intervals, leaving you with a puddle surrounded by very lightly watered lawn. I have no confidence in this thing and can't leave it running for more than a minute or two without having to check on it because it flat out doesn't work. I've returned two of them, and the third one just went in the garbage. I have great water pressure, so that's not the issue. I would give it zero stars if the site would let me.
 Oscillation malfunctionsAug 06, 2008
I bought three of these sprinklers, because I really liked how you can adjust the spray pattern. Unfortunately, they only lasted about two years and then the oscillation mechanizium failed on my sprinklers. I'd come out to find the spray pattern had stuck and failed to go back and forth.
I'd pass on this sprinkler.
 Working great for 2 yearsJul 18, 2008
I bought this a couple years ago. I love the side pattern adjustment using the 6 adjustable on/off holes. I did NOT find any problem with its oscillating operation even at low pressure. It has worked flawlessly for me except that at a certain position it leaks some water through the hose- connect assembly (of course, not through the threads themselves, but from behind the assembly). But turn it a bit and it stops leaking.

Oscillating feature doesn't workApr 26, 2008
This sprinkler stopped oscillating the second time I used it. Now I have a sprinkler that can only water one part of the lawn at a time. Not what I was looking for. When I looked online I found that this is a known problem with Melnor sprinklers. Buyer beware!

Two different Melnor models, two failures -- won't buy this brand againApr 26, 2008
I purchased this sprinkler and was pleased at the ability to adjust the coverage of the spray. That aspect is quite nice, but unfortunately that does you no good if the thing stops oscillating. After a few weeks of perfect performance, it just stopped oscillating and stayed in one fixed position. I see from many other reviews here that I am not the only person who has had this problem. Since some people say their sprinklers work fine, I can only assume this is a case of very inconsistent workmanship in their manufacturing. They definitely need to do some quality control. I hadn't yet read these reviews when I went to buy a second Melnor sprinkler to replace the first -- I assumed it was some random malfunction with my item. I went with Melnor again, but a slightly different model number. SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, and this time after just one day's use! At least this time the sprinkler is new enough that I still have the receipt and box. I will certainly be returning this and buying a sprinkler by another company (and telling everyone I know not to risk buying from Melnor). I give them credit for having a good idea in their design, but if they can't deliver consistent results do you really want to risk spending your money on their products? If you decide to buy this anyway, I recommend that you keep your receipts and the product packaging so that you can get your money back. If you're one of the people who doesn't get a malfunctioning sprinkler, lucky you.
