Dramm ColorStorm Premium Oscillating Lawn Sprinkler with Brass Nozzle Jets, Easy Adjust Range Control Covers up to 3,036 Sq Ft, Blue

It is sad that you can't find a well built oscillating sprinkler these days. The closest that comes to it is the Dramm sprinklers.I wish I could give it 5 stars, but there are a few inherent problems.1. If you have high water pressure (above 55lbs), you can mess up the gears and it will only oscillate when run at high pressure. Lower pressure results in a sprinkler that won't move.2. The tabs that set the oscillation are pretty much unreliable. If you put one at the middle, and the other at the other extreme, then 9 times out of 10, it will be watering something that you did not intend to water. Add to that, each sprinkler will be entirely different with regards to settings. I have no idea of how to calibrate the sprinkler's watering, so it becomes a literal guessing game when setting up a pattern to water.Dramm makes some very fine professional watering products (Yes, I am a professional gardener and have used said products). But, their consumer line leaves much to be desired.Their only saving grace is that their competitors are much worse.YMMV

Back up for my sprinkler system.

Liked the sprinkler but didn't like the condition it was in when it arrived. I will never order this again unless it comes in a box. I want to return it

I've been using these ColorStorm Premium Metal Oscillating Sprinklers for quite a few years. When rated against other manufacturers, the Dramms hold up the best. Are they perfect all the time, no but Dramm has stood behind their product the few times I needed assistance.I note some reviewers can't get the arc correct in relation to the settings. They have failed to align the nozzle arm with the small arrow which is the alignment point. (IMAGE) You can't fault Dramm when people fail to read instructions. It's simple, you hold onto the the one part and move the arc until the nozzles line up.I have six ColorStorm Premium Metal Oscillating Sprinklers and needed warranty once. That's pretty good considering the years I have been using them.

I purchased this and a couple of other sprinklers from Dramm, and they are all very good. The problem with most all sprinklers you can buy in stores is they are cheap -- cheap in price and cheap in quality. I know, I used to be in the hardware store business, and most of the sprinklers we sold, regardless of brand, were of poor quality. About half of them were returned by the customers as defective within one year. I complained about this to one of my vendors, he said "Oh that's OK, people don't expect sprinklers to last more than a year." I disagree. There used to be good sprinklers made in this country, like L.R. Nelson, but now they are all made in China, probably all in the same factory, and they are all cheap. But the one good sprinkler we used to sell was Dramm. So I was glad to find them here. The price may be higher, but they are heavy-duty, mostly all metal, and they perform well and will last many years. Actually less expensive than buying a cheap sprinkler every year. I am very satisfied with my Dramm sprinklers.

This sprinkler worked really well for about a season and a half, then began to get wonky: it sometimes wouldn’t oscillate but get stuck in one position; the tube bearing all the nozzles got loose in the mounts (easy enough to retighten but annoying) which would get the nozzles out of time with the oscillating mechanism, etc. After two seasons, it got more janky and unreliable but functioning just barely well enough to keep fussing with. Now, nine years later, I’ve finally admitted that it’s been terrible for way too long. Maybe like a certain automaker, it makes products that run badly longer than most products run at all.

In year's past I have bought the lesser quality sprinklers, for the lesser price. They never lasted long at all! Flimsy, poorly made with inferior parts, they literally would stop working.I have had this Dramm working every day since receiving it, for at least 4-5 hours and it has held up perfectly. Still looks, sounds and works like new. Quality parts, quality build. Buy Dramm! Made in the USA!Try their other products also- hoses, watering wands. Glad I discovered them recently.

This sprinkler works so well and sprays gently, which we love. We saw these sprinklers everywhere at Chanticleer Garden in Wayne PA. They are very well made in the USA.

purchased because although expensive seemed a quality replacement for the normal plastic.It is indeed a quality build, very solid. Just does not work..total waste of money will need to go back to the cheap plastic .

I thought given the cost of these sprinklers and that they were made of metal that they would be of good quality. THEY ARE NOT. I bought 2 of them and I initially used them for about 2 weeks without incident and then started to have issues. They would not oscillate and water sprayed out from various parts when i would try and use them. I should have returned them at that point but I did not and went out and bought other puck type to get my watering chores in the garden and lawn done. It is my fault i did not return them but please do yourself a favour and buy another kind. I don't like complaining but these sprinklers are extremely poor and even if free don't get them.

C'est mon 4e.Je rachète car efficace, réglage pour hauteur (et largeur simultanément via un bouton + -.), silencieux et arrosage sur 24' largeur.J'ignore pourquoi mais après 3 été, souci de rotation. Mieux que autre marque très populaire qui ne dure pas plus longtemps.

So I spent a lot trying to get something cheaper and worked well - because wouldn't you think you could find one that works - well no. This one works great - way more durable, settings actually work, works at a reduced flow rate (I have a small area and so as not to water my neighbours while they are on their deck I need to keep the flow down. Most of the trial sprinklers would not cycle back and forth at those low flows)Buy this one. I bought all the others and ended up with this one.

I bought it mostly because of the colour. But when I set it up in our backyard and attached it to the hose, it would only spray towards the ground. No amount of adjustment with the settings changed the direction. When I manually moved the metal spray arm, it fell off, so I had to duct tape it to stay on. I had to keep it cause I just seeded our lawn and we were in a drought and couldn't wait - it works, but I wouldn't recommend this product.
