Asked by sheri June 5, 20205
AnswersNo, it does not ocillate properly
Will this clog with well water?
Asked by Steph May 31, 20205
AnswersHard to say, it depends on the mineral content of your water. What I will say is the brass nozzles and included cleaning tool should allow you to keep the sprinkler nozzles clean even if your water has high iron and mineral content.

Customer Reviews
Overall Ratings
This sprinkler is sturdy, has good range of motion, and is easy to use.
August 24, 2020
This review is for the Melnor Premium Metal Oscillating Sprinkler, Model # 234-995, purchased from Homedepot website in June, 2020. I have used it many times over the past 2 months. It feels sturdy, and is easy to adjust the range of motion. You can set it to do a full arc from one side to the other, or any portion of the arc you want. For easily and quickly attaching to my hose, I put on a quick connect attachment. That way I don't have to screw and unscrew the hose each time I use the sprinkler. Overall, I am pleased with this product.

Pretty good, but two minor-ish issues
July 7, 2020
I've had a couple of versions of this over the years. The first one was made in Germany, this one in China (I think, or at least, not Germany). Two issues with this one:
1) It tends to catch on the thatch of my (nominally) St. Augustine grass when pulling it by the hose to move it. I took a piece of 3" rectangular plastic downspout material I had around and made a "skid plate" for it and it is easier to move (see pictures).
2) The holes get clogged easily and the supplied plastic "reamer" on the inside of the end plug is not very effective. I opened up a small standard paperclip and keep it near the faucet. I then remove the end plug and ream the holes while the water is running on low to try to flush out whatever might be in there. Don't know if it's something in our city water, that gets past the screen washer, or debris otherwise somehow gets in there.
Other than that, it works well enough for the money.

Good quality solid metal base. Easy to adjust. I have several. Bought to replace cheaper version bought at local hardware store with exterior limited adjustment mechanism which proved to be unreliable. The interior mulitple adjustment Melnor proved to be easier to use with greater flexibility for odd shaped coverage areas and much more reliable.

I picked up this Melnor Premium Metal Oscillating Stprinker in store for just under $26.00. It works great....and when or if it doesn't it has a lifetime warranty. Just get at Melnor and they'll send you what you need to get it working properly again. I've looked at a lot of reviews and if you pay attention nearly all the poor reviews are by non-verified purchasers. High ratings are from people that have actually purchased this sprinkler. It's hard to believe that all the people that leave a bad review just happened to be the people who walked in the store and purchased it as I did (Therefore unverified purchaser). Most likely theses are competitors providing most of the bad reviews. The one in store with a SKU of 234-995 is what I purchased. It's appearance is different from the pictures they show on here. I don't know if there's any difference as far as performance goes. See attached photographs.

I became tired of throwing away money at cheap plastic sprinklers that would only last a year or two. I have only had this sprinkler for about a month. But I am impressed with the sturdiness and construction of this unit. None of the moving mechanisms are plastic. Water flow is gentle and steady. So far, worth the money.

May 7, 2018
Bought mine today. It's going back to Home Depot tomorrow. Brand new out of the box and it hasn't swept or oscillated one time. The mechanism moved accordingly when I manually moved the tabs but will not oscillate on its own. Too bad for a product marked "Premium" and "Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty." Packaging also sells the product as up to 4000 sq ft but the online description and receipt state 3900 sq ft. I would expect better quality control and product testing.
Response from MelnorMay 13, 2018
We do test square footage and with 60 PSI dynamic pressure at the sprinkler coupling you will get the square footage we show on the packaging. Please contact us at www.melnor/contact and we will work with you on the coverage and adjusting the sprinkler. Please put Ben in the subject line and I will contact you and if we find that the sprinkler is defective we will send you a replacement under the lifetime warranty..
Highly adjustable range with fast sweep rate
November 21, 2016
There are two things I really like about this sprinkler:
- Very fast sweep rate
- Highly adjustable range
A fast sweep rate helps you check for coverage. When you are setting up the sprinkler, you want to make sure all the spots are hit. It is painful if the sweep rate is slow. You have to wait a minute or two just to check coverage. A fast sweep rate eliminates that problem. The attached video gives you an idea of the rate.
The range is very adjustable. No "full", "half", "quarter" markings. Instead, two tabs allow you to adjust to a wide variety of ranges in all directions.
It seems like the device should last since it is a good gauge of metal. The one week area may be in the plastic mechanism. It is hard to tell.
I am very happy in my initial usage and hope it will last a long time.
