Ratings & Reviews for Orbit 2000-sq ft Rotating Spike Lawn Sprinkler

I like it - easy to maneuver

Not super sturdy, but very manageable. So far reliable.

Great coverage

I have one for the front lawn and one for the back lawn. Great coverage.

Caps fall off the sprinkler head...

I am currently trying to find replacement caps (what regulates pressure and allows for sprinkling rather than surging) for the arms of the sprinkler head on several of this model; some disappeared into the mulch of the garden last autumn and a few more are missing now as I begin testing all my sprinklers again. Are there replacement caps available for purchase? I have eight of these telescoping sprinklers, purchased only last spring, and am missing at least one cap on each of those. Please advi...

Didn't even last 6 months

I bought a bunch and some stayed in my garage until about a month ago. I went to pick 1 up out of the ground to move it and the whole top popped off rendering it useless. May want to consider another brand...

Short Life

Sprinkler came apart at the base. Threads on the extension stripped.

Broke in half

I put it in the ground and the part that is brass on the bottom must have been damaged at the store or when shipped to the store and the whole thing broke off. Useless now and I didn't even get a chance to use it

best sprinkler

Bought several different sprinklers and these are the best!!!

Tops in local watering

I bought six different sprinklers from Lowe’s and this was the one that worked best I bought two sprinklers that were the kind that you know did the little jerky thing with the circle I bought one that we rotated back-and-forth I bought one that just went around in circles we plugged it in and I bought this one this one does the job this one goes anywhere I put it this one goes as wide as I want it or as small as I want this is a great sprinkler!

3 weeks and then it breaks in half

I read reviews all the time to buy products, why I went with this one. However, I quickly learned after three weeks of owning this sprinkler that it snaps in half. The metal is then and it is a tall sprinklers so you put the two together. Waste of $$ just very disappointed.

A useless waste of water

The maker of the trash never spent even five minutes testing if it could/would provide decent coverage. You end up with a large puddle in the middle, and an overwatered rings out at the outer ring. Everything else is dry. Run from this junk.

Junk

this is the most ridiculous sprinkler.... I would achieve more by just using a hose.... It hardly covers anything... you get what you pay for... when will I learn...

Poorly made. Poor performance.

I bought two. One of the arm caps flew off with water immediately and two of the others leaked where they are attached. However they where still spinning and provided the coverage i needed, so I kept them. Halfway through the summer I checked them and they both had stopped spinning even with silicone spray. Also bases were leaking. When looking again this year I decided to write a review to save somebody else from these shoddy products.

Construction too Flimsy

The transition from the green tub to the sprinkler head is much too weak. When it is laying down, the slightest bump results in the metal tube breaking. As long as you are careful, it works well. But, any torque at all at the top of the tube will break it. My first was a wast of $18. I have been careful with my 2nd one

Poor Construction

I was concerned about the plastic foot step, but it was the hose connection fitting that completely broke apart after a couple of weeks. Very disappointing.

Excellent sprinklers when used together

I got these in a pinch when I was having issues with my irrigation controller. So long as you have good water pressure you can use several of these for great coverage. They are a bit on the flimsy side, so they certainly won't handle being abused for long. If you aren't looking to spend a fortune and have the water pressure to accommodate multiple, you can't go wrong with these.

Sprinkler

This sprinkler works great on our 1100 sq ft steep grade flower bed. Love it.

Twins

Have this sprinkler now and decided that we like it so much that a second one like it would be better for the garden than the one we were using. Now we have twins for next year.
