Tools and Hardware Reviews of Noodlehead N111C Flexible Lawn & Garden Sprinkler
Customer Review: A good solution for small yards, odd-shaped areas
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a small yard with several triangular flower beds, and noodleheads have been an excellent solution for me. I pair them with snap-on connectors, and simply move the hose (on a timer) from noodlehead to noodlehead. I haven't had any trouble with the black wands moving -- once I have them in a pattern, they stay here.
The noodleheads last well -- much better than the soaker hoses that tend to degrade after two years.
Customer Review: A very poor product!
Summary: 1 Stars
This product did not at all live up to my expectations or the reviews on Amazon.com that led me to purchase it. It was unable adequately to water the strip of landscape for which I purchased it. I bought 2 and retunred the unopened one; would have returned the other had I been permitted to do so.Customer Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
I would rather give this three and a half stars and not four.
This is a great sprinkler and a great idea but could use some improvements.
First, it could be bigger. It is a lot smaller then I thought it was going to be.
The noodles are not as flexible as they need to be but I could understand that if they are too flexible they may not be able to stand up. And sometimes its hard to get a noodle bent into position especially if your trying to bend the noodle downward pretty far. Sometimes you have to bend past the angle you want and let the noodle straighten a bit to where you intend it to spray.
I did find that it worked better if you place the sprinkler on a pole and have the noodles pointed up and adjust them according to where the water lands on the garden.
But the one big plus is when I watered my garden I was able to point a noodle to my lily plant near the garden and have it get watered the same time the garden did. And even tho it took a while to get the sprinkler adjusted to cover the garden, it still was able to water the entire garden. I have no other sprinkler that has done that so far.
Im not sorry I bought this becuase I was able to make it work. But, like I said, it could use a couple improvements.
Customer Review: Cool idea, but not too practical for everyday use
Summary: 2 Stars
This sprinkler is a great concept, but at the end of the day it is a specialized tool that isn't very useful for basic watering situations.
Problems:
1) The noodles are stiff plastic, so you have to over-bend them, and hope they move back to where you want them.
2) Each noodle shoots three fine streams of water. That's a great idea for a squirt gun, but annoying in a sprinkler. It would drench one area, and hardly dampen an area 12" away.
3) It's a pain to adjust without getting wet. I spent quite a while turning the sprinkler on, watching the pattern, turning it off, then adjusting the noodles. I went through this process about 10 times before I got it just right. Based on issue 2, you have to be exact, or you'll miss the area you need to water.
HOWEVER, in my opinion, this sprinkler is ideal for someone who will mount it to a fence, or watering a specific area like a corner garden. You can mash all the noodles to one side, and voila - you are only watering that part of the yard.
For someone like myself, who was hoping to save on water by only hitting the few patches in my yard that have fresh seed, the Noodlehead just didn't work.
Customer Review: Cool product with limitations
Summary: 4 Stars
Well in the search for the perfect sprinkler for those of us without ingrounds, I have to admit I purchased this because it looked odd and I bought into the variety of ways the sprays can be directed.
It works great if you need it to water lets say plants going across a fence or in front of house etc. That is mostly because you can shoot them all one way at first and then while it is on move the little hoses to where you want them aimed. The negative is that if you need to cover a wider and disparate area..you have to shut it off, move the nozzles, go back and turn it on and hope it is hitting where you want it to because obviously you will get wet trying to do it while its on.
Overall its a cool gadget that works best for watering in one specific area and aiming the nozzles to specific plants area. Its average as far as full law coverage and tough to make sure it hits everything.
I am using mostly to water along my fence in my backyard where my wife has alot of plants, my front yards cottage garden plants and the vegetable garden. My regular sprinkler i can then just make sure it waters the lawn and not worry about the plants/bushes/flowers.
