Melnor 65031-AMZ Mini Oscillating Sprinkler on Step Spike with Product Adapter Set, Black, Yellow

So a rare item indeed for an amazon listing, an item works exactly as advertised! We have a divided up lawn, made up 7 rectangles and squares of all differing sizes. Plus water here is expensive (it doesn't rain from May to November), and we can't waste water by overlapping the edges for full coverage. This amazing little device lets me water accurately and thoroughly for the first time. I did see a review or two complaining about it being fragile: it is all plastic bits, and very light, but they are very very accurate when set, and should last, just don't be rough with it like it's a mechanic's wrench.Adjustments are easy and intuitive: width, length, and flow. The flow comes in very handy for the smaller patches. The hardest part is remembering the settings I used for each patch, but I intend to write them down once I've established the ideal settings for each patch. Even without that, it's only taking 5 minutes or so to dial them in. I added a shutoff to a 25 foot hose so I can adjust without walking 100 feet to the faucet; very handy for dialing in the settings on each patch. Hands down the best product I've ever ordered on amazon, and the best sprinkler I have ever seen. Buy one now!

I really like using this sprinkler. It is extremely versatile and you can set it in a variety of ways to hit specific areas. For example, you can hit a narrow area (like a strip of grass in front of the sidewalk) or set it to oscillate over a precise area without hitting other areas, such as a bed in front of the house where you don't want the water hitting the house, only a two-foot area. You can adjust the oscillation to be very low, like on young seedlings, all the way to very high oscillation. It is super easy to set and I don't even want to think of how frustrated I used to be with my old sprinkler, which had none of these features. I would highly recommend this sprinkler - you won't regret it!

Its downfall is the plastic connection to the water hose. It’s not a durable connector. So as I try to move to sprayer to different sections, the connection detaches. Of this unit is stationary, you do t have to worry. But I am moving it so I am having this problem that o wish was more suitable to my need to move it to different sections of a large ba k yard. In concept it’s great. Functionality is great. Adjusting precise coverage areas is great. Super light weight.

I ended up buying four of these because they are so handy. You can fine tune the spray area in all directions. They seem a bit delicate so time will tell how well they last, but they work great and were not expensive so even if they only last a few seasons it will be worth it.

This sprinkler is PERFECT for small and large areas. I had been trying to find a sprinkler that would cover the easement between the street and sidewalk. I live in a city suburb in a neighborhood with houses about 30 feet between them. I’m able to water without wasting overflow into the street across the front. It would be great for the area between houses in city neighborhoods or large yards. It is basically any size you want. Set up is easy, no complicated pattern sequence and if you are so inclined, you could cut nectar two and have a unique water show if you want! 😂Quality is fine, not too heavy, all plastic.It should last if you take care of it.

Plants in Florida sometimes suffer greatly from little rain, but the Melnor 65131AMZ MiniMax Turbo Oscillator Sprinkler has changed everything. Because of all of its features, I was first hesitant to buy it, but I soon discovered that it was quite intuitive and that I didn't even need to look at the instructions.With this highly adjustable sprinkler, you can easily change the spray's breadth, direction, power, and distance. It's ideal for covering different areas of my irregularly shaped yard. Even though the construction is plastic, some people might be concerned, yet it's really sturdy. It hasn't faded or deteriorated in the intense summer weather, even though I've left it outside every day.What actually makes this sprinkler unique is its adaptability. The peculiar diagonal shape of my garden features a small hallway, and it's incredible how easily I can adjust the water flow's direction and force with a few clicks. Also, the straightforward connector kit that was included made connecting it to my current hose a snap.I thought that the outer corners appeared to receive slightly less water. But when I tested the coverage by putting cups all over the yard, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the water distribution was actually rather even.For anyone with an irregularly shaped yard or who needs the greatest flexibility in watering different areas, I heartily recommend the Melnor MiniMax Sprinkler.

I really like that you can not only adjust the pattern, but you can also ajust the flow right at the sprinkler. It seems to work better than larger sprinklers when there's low water pressure. I don't feel like it will take much abuse, but so far it's holding up well.

This item is great for small areas. (I have not tested larger applications yet). I have an impact sprinkler that covers 85% of my yard. I struggled to find a solution for the other 15% adjacent to a patio - the low pressure off my split hose line is too low for many sprinklers to work normally. This little sprinkler is highly adjustable, and covers the 10’ x 20’ strip I need with 25% of the water pressure of the impact sprinkler. It does this from an awkward corner behind a post, exactly where I want it, so I don’t run it over or even have to move it when I mow. This is because the unit pivots and clicks into position on its base. It seems sturdy but time will tell because I haven't had it long. The spray pattern on the setting I am using provides good coverage. I was able to configure the unit by simply watching their marketing video. Very easy and intuitive to use and a great value If it stands the test of time.

Espectacular resultado de riego, tenía dudas pero de inmediato lo configure y pude regar mi jardí de 9 X 5 metros sin problema y muy bien.

I've waited for years for a water sprinkler that can do what this one does - I can choose the width and length of the spray to water my raised garden beds (about 4’w and 16’ long) without watering the paths, keeping the water for the plants I'm raising and not wasting any of it. There's enough variety by toggling the switches to suit any shape rectangle or square I need. Hopefully it lasts a few years, it is made of plastic so won't last forever.

I have had unit 2 years already. First time I used it, it shot water out of the hose connector part like crazy. Very frustrating. I tightened the fitting up and presto not a leak in 2 years. I used it in a ver small yard with a fair sized deck the first year. I stopped watering the deck and only watered the garden where I wanted to. This last summer I moved to a place with a large yard with some parts in tight places. I still don’t water the deck and the flower beds along side of the house get watered and not the side walks. I love the versatile setting that are there. Distance, width left or right, angles and the height to shoot over tall flowers. All completely adjustable at the head. I tried out 2 older oscillating sprinklers I had first on new yard (Gilmore and Gardena) but they only reached 1/3 the distance of this unit. Probably my water pressure here is low which means that it is great for lower water pressure areas as well. I would not mind trying a standard Melnor oscillator but my budget doesn’t allow for it. In short, great sprinkler but it would be nice if future models came with built in timer and shut off at the head. I do have a timer which starts and stops automatically. So not a big deal.

Very easy to use and is great for small or large areas. If you are just doing large areas I would buy a more sturdy one, but this is very easy to control and works great.

Llevo más de un año con él, es el único que se adaptaba a mi jardín rectangular. Lo coloco en el medio y con los muchos ajustes que tiene, puede regar justo hasta cada orilla. Se usa diario gracias a un temporizador que compré por aparte. No se ha afectado el material ni se ha tapado ningún orificio, sigue rotando sin problemas. Excelente compra.
