Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gilmour 996D Pattern Master Impulse Sprinkler
Customer Review: Great performance 2 Stars
This sprinkler does all that it states it is supposed to do. I enjoyed the fact that I could set the sprinkler to water the areas that I want and it didn't matter how the area was shaped. This sprinkler is made of a cheap plastic and it broke on the 5th use. So I'm out the money and the item does not work.Customer Review: Great so far!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just got this product. It works quite well and the adjustments were quite easy to make. The sprinkler does exactlty what it claims it will do, which is perfect for me since I have a strangely shaped front yard space to water.
Before I bought this product I read the negative reviews, so I'll add my comments to those. Some people said the sprinkler would move around and they had to weight it down but I have had no such issues. Others said that when exposed to prolonged bright sun the plastic became brittle and the ring eventually broke. Obviously I haven't had the sprinkler long enough to evaluate that one, and, actually, based on that review I am moving my sprinkler to a shady, covered area after use to try to avoid such an issue. I haven't tried to use it in a series, but I may order another one and see how that works out and add to this review at a later time.
Thusfar I am very satisfied with the sprinkler.
Customer Review: Great sprinkler, easy to recalibrate on the fly!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought two of these sprinklers, one for the front yard, and one for the back yard. These things are great for anyone who doesn't have a perfectly round (rotary sprinklers) or rectangular (sweeping sprinklers) yard. They're really easy to calibrate and re-calibrate. I found myself tweaking the setup frequently to get just the right coverage (it varies depending on the wind of the day), and I found it very easy to move the sprinkler to different areas of the lawn and set it up to hit them just perfectly.
I'm buying a third one now. Apparently, these sprinklers aren't quite sturdy enough to withstand the wheels of a car. But when my neighbor accidentally ran one over and bought me a non-adjustable Gilmour sprinkler as a replacement, I didn't hesitate to order a new adjustable one myself (it was a kind gesture, and I guess it wasn't obvious from the mangled bits of plastic). :-)
Customer Review: Great sprinkler.
Summary: 5 Stars
As we have a patio and plantings that create an uneven shape in our backyard, I was looking for a sprinkler that would save me from moving it several times a day or having to use multiple sprinklers. This sprinkler handily did the trick. The adjustments are easy to make and the base is very stable. It's even easy to make adjustments while in operation without getting wet. A nice fact is that the speed and distance correlate - when set to longer distances, the head rotates more slowly, allowing the lower volume of closer in drops to collect, promoting even watering.Customer Review: Great watering tool for lazy people!
Summary: 5 Stars
We are now the envy of the neighborhood! Our lawn is evenly watered all over now that we have this sprinkler. We never were very good at setting our watches to drag a sprinkler all over the yard to ensure we got every spot. Now we just set it out in its designated spot, turn the water on and watch our neighbors drag their sprinklers all over the place!
It's extremely simple to use too. With one hand you can either pop up or down sections of the middle ring to adjust the distance of the spray. I now curve around my landscaping, but also make an extra shot out to the mailbox to water the petunias without having to water the entire sidewalk.
So simple, yet brilliant! And I don't have any fears of this sprinkler breaking or wearing out like I have with other sprinklers.
