Nelson Turbo-Heart 18-Jet Oscillating Sprinkler with 3,250 Square-Foot Coverage 50915 Review

Nelson Turbo-Heart 18-Jet Oscillating Sprinkler with 3,250 Square-Foot Coverage 50915I bought three of these sprinklers to water our yard which we had just seeded (just slightly less than an acre).

At first I was impressed by the adjustability of the sweep area, although there is no adjustment for the width of the fan size.This must be done by water pressure alone.After a short period however, the adjustment for sweep area became more difficult.I suspect that it was from dirt getting in the mechanism.

The first one had the hose connection fail.It seems that this is a weak link for nearly all sprinklers.It breaks off immediately behind the hose connection point.

The other two quit oscillating after less than a weeks worth of use.It seems that the "turbo Heart" is heartless.On one of them, the screw that holds the oscillating mechanism to the rotating "heart" started to back out (I thought that was causing the oscillating failure) but even after re-tightening the screw it still did not oscillate properly.After a short period of time, both of them started to stall in one position, which would cause them to flood out my new lawn seed.

Not sure if ANYONE makes a decent oscillating sprinkler based on other reviews.

Nelson Turbo-Heart 15-Jet Oscillating Sprinkler with 2,750 Square-Foot Coverage 50905 Review

Nelson Turbo-Heart 15-Jet Oscillating Sprinkler with 2,750 Square-Foot Coverage 50905We purchased this product from Walmart. It has a good span, but it only oscillated for one day and how remains permanently stuck in one position, or will only oscillate to one side. I have dissected it and tried to repair it, but I am now going to take it back. I am going to try the Nelson Triple Spray (a little more pricey) that my brother has had for 2 years now and it works great.

Gilmour Metal Turbine Sprinkler 9836Z Review

Gilmour Metal Turbine Sprinkler 9836ZSave your reviews on this thing until you've owned it awhile.I used it only the end of one season and it worked well.I drained it and stored it inside.The next spring it wouldn't oscillate consistently.This sprinkler looked too good and appeared too well made so I bought another one.It too stopped oscillating consistently after one season.I would come out and find one area of the yard flooded and the rest dry.A sprinkler this expensive should last more than one season. I'm going to buy a cheap one and throw it away if it quits.I could make a down payment on a car for the price of two of these boat anchors.
