What a bargain! Marked down to $10 and still $20 at "you know who" competitor. Adjustable flow allowed me to make sure it's only in the yard and not on the sidewalk

Won’t stay upright. The sprinkler portion rolls over unless you stake them in the ground. The hose is the issue. You can’t keep it straight so it causes the flimsy plastic lightweight sprinklers to do everything except what you want it to do.

it came with 3 sprinklers but works better with 2, if you connect all 3 the pressure is reduce and it does not work as expected. I connect 2 to hose in the rear and 1 on the hose in front of the house. Work ok, would not recommend it.

    This product does work well. Don't even think of connecting any more than 3 together and, at that, don't expect more than a radius of maybe 4'. Also, nozzles do not adjust well.

      Functionality versus price
      It took some doing to get the heads adjusted properly but it finally happed. The only draw back is the hoses could be longer.

          Good system
          This is a good product for the purpose intended, you do need good water pressure to maximize it's effectiveness.

          Decent option for area coverage
          I recently purchased an older home with an outdated sprinkler system so, I bought this to supplement said system and cover the front yard which doesn't have a system. It advertises that each nozzle covers roughly 30'. In reality its about half of that and the spray pattern is not evenly distributed despite the adjustments. For a quick "band-aid" solution it will work but, I suggest finding something else for an economical long term solution.

          ZayB, there are a couple of reasons why this might be happening. It may be a water pressure issue, for example, or that there is dirt in the water that is causing the spray pattern problems. We'd like to troubleshoot with you, and help in any way we can. Please contact our Support team at 1-800-488-6156. Thanks! OrbitIrrigation

          Good product
          Setup was easy. Product is working like it should. Just wish it was made from metal.

            Great idea, but...
            It's easy to change from circle to semi-circle to even smaller, but to change the range of how far the water goes requires a screwdriver, and it doesn't work well.

            Expensive for three plastic nozzles
            It was the only lawn sprinkles available and they seem expensive.

            Very poor quality
            we adjusted the nozzles but each sprinkler only sprayed out about 18" it was not the water pressure because one of the head blew off. Great idea but it did not work well for us

            Great sprinklers
            This type of sprinkler system works great for our side yard which is very long but not too wide.

            Do not buy!
            Deceptive packaging - looks like metal but is plastic - very lightweight and flimsy. Decorative? Yes, but who sees it in the grass? Pointless! Water pressure blew out the adjustment pieces from the sprinkler and I got soaked - that was fine, it was a hot day and I had a good sense of humor; but, that said you can't really adjust the arc of the spray. It is a great idea poorly and cheaply executed!

            Quality lower every time
            I have had several sets of these sprinklers over the years. I have replaced the spray head nozzles immediately in every one I have purchased in order to make them useable, which I shouldn't have to do, and now I'm going to have to replace the hoses too. They used to come with nice, black hoses that weren't stiff, and had easy-to-connect metal fittings that rotated. The similar sprinkler with an adjustable spray pattern is just as bad, so I guess I'm stuck spending the money on these and modifying them to make them work. Once the nozzles and hoses are replaced, I find the plastic bases (the only part I keep) to be fairly useful and better than anything else to water long strips of yard or oddly shaped flower beds. It's a shame I have to pay for this set to get three useable pieces of plastic (okay, four if you count the end cap). On the bright side, once I modify them they are great and last much longer than I would expect before they crack or leak.

                  cheap plastic junk, nice concept though
                  The idea of this is great but the plastic sprinklers are total junk. 1 of the 3 heads would not spray for me. The supposed adjustment capability from 1 to 360 degrees is quite poor. I was not able to adjust the distance of the spray at all. Bringing them back for a refund.

                  Dribble, dribble...
                  Was really looking forward to this since it looked like a good set-up. Easy to instal and set up... but all down hill from there. The water just dribbles out of the sprinklers. Water pressure from my spigot is good and tried adjusting sprinkler heads but still nothing more than dribbling down the side of the sprayer. Waste of money. Returned for refund.

                  Decorative Port-a-rain with adjustable nozzel
                  This orbit design was not well thought threw come on guys plastic. The product work great however, the plastic material very cheat. How about using metal or pot-metal and use better materials when designing the sprinklers.

                    Not worth it's value
                    After using these about a week - one of the water release caps began to lose distance and eventually they all ended up being useless.

                        good sprinklers....need basic improvements
                        These are good sprinklers in that they cover a lot of space with a lot of water in a short time. this cuts down on water usage. However, a few basic changes are needed. they are very light and tend to twist up if not staked down. none of the sprinkler heads have a spinning hose attachmant nozzle, meaning thst to attach and detach the hose you have to spin the entire system to get it off. And while the heads are adjustable from 0 to 360 degrees, this cannot be done with the water on leaving you to guess, test, guess again and test. if you have a small area to water and dont have to move and readjust its great otherwise plan on being soaked.

                          I saw this on the shelf and thought, "hey, this is just what I'm looking for!". Fortunately, I overbought and picked up some other items as well to handle my sprinkling needs because this package's sprinkler heads are garbage

                            Garbage
                            I bought these in order to cover a larger area without having to move them so much. After a while(about a month) and even after cleaning the heads they would spray in irregular patterns. I could screw the adjusters in and out and it didn't make a full pattern. Waste of money. They want to flip over where they are so light from being made of plastic so you have to loop the hose around in order to get them to lay flat even when they did work right. I ended up throwing them in the garbage can and learned a lesson that I should have known from the start, spend the extra money and get something that is build right.
