Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Inaccurate description
Both products are great: 42SA & CP5004PC. Lowe's description is inaccurate and misleading. Please correct your description. The item you are selling is the 42SA (not the CP5004PC). The CP5004 is the professional grade series which has a range of up to 50 feet along with a few other features. The 42SA's range is up to 38 feet. Therefore your posted description is misleading. Please correct. Visit Rain Bird's website for a comparison between the models.

Decent
Would RecommendWorks pretty good. Decent selection of adjustments. The initial setup up with the exact positioning of the left “stop” was a little quirky. -jake

Rain Bird gear drive rotor sprinkler
Would RecommendAfter searching for a new sprinkler head due to malfunction of an Orbit gear drive unit, I decided to try this Rain Bird unit. The gear drive was relatively easier to set than then the Orbit unit and seems to working great. I need to set the spray radius, but overall this product is working sufficiently for me. I would recommend looking into a Rain Bird product.

Easy replacement
Would RecommendHad a sprinkler head go bad on me after three years. I bought this head to replace the old one; same model. Pretty easy task. Just done a square hole around the sprinkler and unscrew the old one and screw in the new one. Replace grass square and dirt and done.

Always like Rain Bird
Would RecommendBought two of these to replace no working sprinkler heads at my moms. Easy to install. The only issue I have was after reading and following the directions to the letter several times the fix left stop never was were it was set once the head was screwed into the ground. Ending up having to dig up the entire sprinkler and manual rotating the sprinkler head while it was running

Great gear driven sprinkler
Would RecommendThese rain bird are great! Easy to replace because they are standard size. Easy to adjust and durable. I really like the nozzle pack that comes with each one so that I can adjust the flow for each head by putting in the correct GPM nozzle.
