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

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.

Nice for the price

My grass was looking really bad and I needed to do some serious watering. Under the tree called for something that would project out and not so much up. This sprinkler did the trick. Depending on how much you turn up the water pressure this guy can cover a large area. I am pleased

Sprinklers

My husband bought several of these to water our grass because we don’t have a sprinkler system. They work great for small spaces.

Good for low pressure

If you have a well with pump, this works really well (55 psi). The coverage is better than the other ones that claim more sq ft but don't tell you what kind of psi you need on your water system to obtain that.

cheap aluminum junk

I tried to push this into the tough red clay in my backyard using the foot rest provided while holding the top to keep it straight. The pipe immediately broke off clean at the bottom inside the housing like it had been made just to fail. I never even got the chance to turn it on even once. Construction is very thin aluminum. I tried to rebuild it but was impossible without special tools (yes, I have the needed skills & experience). Did I mention this is VERY thin aluminum?... Dont buy this if ...

Best coverage

These sprinklers do the job. The extension raises the water high over tall perennials like tiger lilies. The 2000 square foot, cirular coverage is second to none. The sprinkler can be used with the extension closed for a smaller diameter area. I purchased one last year and three more this year to cover more of my lawn. I would give a five star rating except the first one I had developed a leak down at the base. I think this was because it had been mistreated in the store and the metal had cracke...

Whirly bird sprinkler

Works great but only bought one. Thinking I should have bought a couple or one like the in ground type that focuses on one part

Doesn’t cover the radius specified

Wegot yhis because it should’ve hovered the width of our backyard but it doesn’t the distance it claims.

Rotating Spike Lawn Sprinkler

The 2000 sq. ft. coverage is great. It's versatility is just what is needed for the hard to get spots that need watering. Also a very pleasing price.
