Melnor XT Turbo Oscillating Sprinkler, Black, Up to 4500 Sq. Ft. Coverage, Plastic, Oscillating Style

Perfect for spraying garden plants, not as powerful as i expected but does the job.

Don’t buy this if you are in UK. The quoted coverage requires 80psi input. I tried on normal UK mains and could only get 1/3rd of quoted coverage.

This Melnor XT Sprinkler looks good for watering lawns but is hopelessly inadequate at spraying any distance with a reasonable water pressure in U.K. It managed a distance of 1.6 metres either side, 3.2 metres in total. My inexpensive Hozelock achieves a total spray distance of 9 metres and is half the price.

The coverage of the sprinkler is less than 80 sq meter, which is far from the specification. I have another cheaper sprinkler which cost 5 pounds, but have a wider coverage than this one. really disappointed.

My previous oscillating sprinkler finally died and it was time for a new one. Now I didn’t want to blow the wad on a high priced one that was overkill. Nor a cheap one that wouldn’t last and had limited function and range. So I thought I’d split the difference and found this model with numerous options! Obviously the back and forth control is helpful but to be able to aim the spray nozzles from mostly straight up to very wide while being able to independently leave on side straight up gives another level of coverage control! I haven’t quite sorted out how to best make use of the flow control, but a nice touch is an end plug that allows the cleaning of any inside sediment as well as a nozzle cleaning pin built on it! Add that to the ‘Quick Connect’ fittings included and I have a well made and durable sprinkler at a good price which will give me years of service to come!

Puissance de jet très bien

I wasn’t sure how much of our front lawn/garden it’d cover and was expecting to have to move it with some of the pressure-related reviews. But it covers everything except for a tiny bit of one corner. The adjustability is excellent. And granted it’s only early, but the build quality appears to be very solid. It is completely plastic obviously, and it won’t be left outside when not in use, but zero complaints or issues from us.

Todo bien

This is a great sprinkler--easy to set up the watering pattern you need. We have a small yard and need to cover grass and vegetable plantings without soaking the neighbor or wasting water on the paved path. This has worked great for us.
