Customer Reviews for Melnor 4500 sq. ft. Turbo Oscillating Sprinkler with Flow Control

Hard to figure out the picture-only instructions but worked well once I figured out how to set it

Our lawn has weird elongated cubbies between a fence & the house that I can now cover because I can narrow the width of the sprinklers as well as the length its coverage. PLUS, I can water the actual square portion of our lawn too. ONE SPRINKLER COVERS EVERYTHING...IT'S GREAT!!!!!!!!

Works as stated. Easy to adjust for differing areas. This is our third unit.

I've had Melnor sprinklers like this before, but this one has a flow controller. No more running back and forth to the faucet to adjust water flow rates. Do it all riight from the sprinkler.

I already reviewed this item. It's a super sprinkler that lets you totally define the area you want to water.

After my similar one I had for a few years stopped oscillating I bought this replacement It stopped oscillating after only 20 minutes! Returned it and paid the price for a Gardena.

its just great...

The product ordered was not the product received. The one I received has the prongs connected. I will be returning this.

I am very pleased with the Melnor 4000 sq. ft. Turbo Oscillating Sprinkler with Flow Control.I had some narrow spaces to sprinkle and the adjustable width feature realled worked well.

It lasted only about 15 minutes before the oscillating feature stopped working. There was no problem in returning it but after waiting for a week to pick it up at the local store it left me frustrated and with a dry lawn.

Using it! Loving it! Only thing that would make it better is if it was metal based. (you were out of them) my grass says thank you.

Great sprinkler.

Works well, easy to use and adjust!

Plan to buy another soon for the backyard. Thanks!

Great sprinkler. I wish I could have found another with the metal base (which is what I already had when I needed an additional one), but this is fine, though probably less durable. I really like the adjustments. Though you, obviously, can't actually get a rectangular dispersal (the ends are always curved), it is highly adjustable.

I bought this because I wanted a high quality sprinkler which I wouldn't have to replace after each season. Fat chance of that ... After only 4 months, it stopped oscillating. It would stick at the bottom and stop moving which shot water straight into the ground 1.5 feet from the sprinkler! You can jiggle the hose or gently hit it and it would start moving back and forth for one revolution before it would once again get stuck and stop. Nothing would fix the problem. Also 3 nozzles stopped working. Beyond the fact that it was basically garbage that stopped working, there is no way this covers the square footage it says. The stream goes 10 feet in the air which means if it did actually work and oscillate to the sides, you'd get maybe 2,000 square feet covered on a good day! Melnor was supposed to be a good name in sprinklers but now that I read reviews on other sites, this seems to be a very common thing. Lots of the positive reviews mention that the buyer just started using it and it works great. That's fine ... But wait until the oscillating gives out and then write the review. Don't be fooled. I liked mine too for the first couple months it worked ... Until it stopped. Also, it says there is a warranty but nobody at Melnor answers emails. Skip this one ... I thought given it was one of the more expensive sprinklers in the store that it would work. It didn't.

Product not as advertised. Does not have 1-touch width adjustment as shown in picture (note the yellow center width-adjustment in picture is 1-touch, 1-piece width adjustment), which is also stated in product description. When I picked it up in store, it has 2 separate adjustments in center which is NOT 1-touch, 1-piece width adjustment, nothing like the picture or description. I do not like the way the new 2-piece adjustment waters the grass, to me, seems to leave a center void. That's why I purchased 2 of these. After waiting a week for delivery to store, I am still without sprinklers because I returned both of them at the counter at the same time I picked them up and noticed they were not same sprinklers that I ordered online. Even 2 of the store clerks at the return counter pulled this item up on their computer screen and noticed the item did not match the picture or description. Picture and description of item needs to be corrected. Very disappointed !!

Works well. Lots of custom settings allow for use in a range of yards.

Handle with care, I purchased 2 sprinklers. After 1 week 1 of the sprinklers stopped oscillating. I have tried to adjust the sprinkler but nothing. I will be returning the sprinklers for a refund. Good warranty but would rather spend my time watering than replacing.

This sprinkler is AWESOME! you can control the spread, the width, and the flow. The mechanics of it is very good.

This sprinkler is working fine. However, I do not think it covers 4,000 sf. I believe that is an exaggeration.

Only used it once yet

Wirks great!

This is OK, but not like the other unit. This does not adjust to a narrow stream for strip watering like the other model.

feels flimsy, so far it works ok, but i have to add weight to base ie a steel plate to keep it in proper position

The oscillating sprinkler was easy to use and I was happy with it watering my yard. Thanks

This is an Awesome sprinkler ! Covers a lot of ground . Very adjustable . I have used it every day for 3 - 4 weeks . So far , so good .

Love how you can change the flow and width of the spray. It also has great range.

IThe adjustments on this sprinkler are great. Best sprinkler I have ever own.
