Eden Lawn & Garden Osciallating Water Sprinkler for Yard

EXCELLENT SPRINKLER, MADE OF METAL WHICH WILL LAST BETTER THAN PLASTIC.

This is a pretty good sprinkler, but I'm disappointed because the title clearly states 'metal', and while the base of the unit is made of metal, the rest of it is all plastic! I do not expect it to last. It does a good job and covers a large area, but I really do think that this is false advertising as it's pretty useless having a metal base if the other plastic parts won't last more than a year or two.

The sprinkler itself works great and I really like the plug in design to easily detach sprinkler and attach the sprayer. However I deducted the stars for the paint application on the metal frame piece. It had a small drag on some concrete and the paint is now already flaking off around the bottom edges. I'm starting to wish I would have saved the money and got the cheaper all plastic version.

I was reluctant to spend more money on a sprinkler as I seem to replace one or two a year because they are just junk. However, I think I found one that will last more than two seasons. This sprinkler is well built and much smoother than others with plastic bodies.

This Eden oscillating sprinkler is a much nicer than I was expecting for the money I paid! I was in a hurry, and didn’t have much time to shop, and I just wanted a fairly simple sprinkler. I saw that the Eden sprinkler had an all metal base, which would help keep it stable, so I chose it. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived! The build quality is very nice. No sharp edges from sloppy machining, no oil or odors on it. It was clean, neatly packaged, and I really like that. Three things really stood out to me. For one, it came with quick connection accessories, which can make changing hose accessories like sprayer heads, watering wands, and sprinklers, super easy. (Very nice, Eden!). Another thing that really sets this sprinkler apart is the fact that the hose fitting freely rotates, allowing you to position the sprinkler how you want it without having to fight with your garden hose! I remembered how hard it was to place the last sprinkler I had, so I actually bought a separate hose accessory to do the specific job of rotating freely, but thanks to the build of this sprinkler, I didn’t need to use it! The last thing that really sets this sprinkler apart is the fact that it came with a screened washer already installed, (as shown in my second photo). Screened washers are *invaluable* to keep your sprinkler from eventually getting clogged with debris. I keep screened washers on hand, and switch out plain washers for screened ones on all of my sprayer heads and sprinklers. I should also mention how easy it is to adjust the sprinkler’s coverage. It can cover a very large area, but setting it to cover only what you want is so easy. It’s one of those things that you just know how to set. No reading needed!. Frankly, I am very impressed by this sprinkler. It was worth every penny! So impressed that I bought a second one, so I have easy access to one from either side of the yard!
