Unfortunately, the Gilmour 3000-sq ft Oscillating Sled Lawn Sprinkler is a 'miss', in my opinion. The plastic construction isn't sturdy enough to provide stability of the unit on uneven surfaces. The action mechanism/arm pops off the guide screw too easily, resulting in the oscillating motion to stick. The remedy is to press firmly on the plastic arm/guide to pop the piece back onto the plastic plate. (please, forgive my lack of appropriate terminology). The sled portion flexes too much, which adds to the pressure on the arm (the plastic piece, with the oblong opening, that goes from the setting mechanism to the guide plate (plastic piece that determines the action of the sprinkler). In my case, I have a very slight unevenness in my lawn area, so the sticking became a real problem. In addition, this sprinkler doesn't allow for a medium or low water setting and/or pressure, if you don't want the full spray height/reach, or if your water supply pressure is low by nature. I replaced this unit with the AquaJoe Metal Base Oscillating Sprinkler - SJI-OMS16, which is a little more expensive, but it is a much better unit. It doesn't have any of the design problems that the Gilmore has, and I like that the base is a heavy metal. The AquaJoe also handles low water pressure issues without phasing the unit's operation at all. I'd recommend finding a different sprinkler other than this Gilmore, unless your yard area is very flat and you plan on using it at full water pressure. If this is your situation, I'd recommend this product, but not otherwise.Read full review

I was surprised and delighted when I discovered how so very easy it was to attach to my hose. I have had sooo much trouble with that in the past. With this awesome sprinkler I can attach it with one hand!!! The settings aren't kidding and the spread of the water is wonderful. It moves slow enough to get the area really wet and it covers a LOT of ground!!! So I bought another one!!!

This basic sprinkler works better than a newer model with many more adjustments. It's easy to set up and works great.

there were no instructions on how to adjust the coverage area, but after trial & error I seem to have it operating properly... DAN
