This item does not perform as good as it looks
attached this to my garden hose, Turned water on, tried to adjust the nozzles and the head turns along with the base of the nozzle, tried to hold the base but the nozzles are very tight to turn and can't really adjust my watering perimeter like that.

It Struggles
The sprinklers barely put out any water. It should at least cover sprinkler to sprinkler

Cheap solution
I expected this to be a quick solution to new home no sprinkler system and sustained upper 90's for days.
I was pleasantly surprised they feel cheap but I have had no leaking even after numerous disconnect and reconnections. I even purchased an extra one just for the hoses it was cheaper than buying the higher quality ends and making them myself.
I would recommend these to anyone who is trying to water in places where the typical wave style sprinkler won't work.

Perfect for what I need it for!
I am currently experiencing dead zones in my yard from my automatic sprinkler system. While I wait for my repairman to make fixes, I was looking for a solution to keep the area of the yard from completely dying. Before, using a singular sprinkler, I would spend more time moving it around and wasting water than I would actually watering the lawn. Port o Rain is the perfect solution for me because I'm able to hit all three dead zones at the same time. The water pressure is awesome as long as you have the circular patterns closed off to areas you don't need watered. I love that you can take this from a 1/4 circle all the way to a full circle. I have mine set to half circles so its not hitting rocks and retaining walls. Definitely an awesome solution for my issue and for $20, it might be a solution I keep all summer until peak season is over and my repairman can come up with quality solutions before my turn off instead of quick patches. Do wish you could buy just singular extensions but I like that you can use one, two or all three. I might be getting a second set for my front yard! Definitely an awesome value for $20.

another let down
Another water device let down. Was hoping for more water coverage with these but only about 2 feet circle from each nozzle.

Great for long lawn areas
My back yard is a long rectangular area. It took me six moves of my previous sprinkler to water the entire area. With this system, I move four times to water the entire area. This saves me 30 minutes and decreases my water usage! Make sure you open the nozzles before turning on the water. Each nozzle is set closed.
