20 Best Water Sprinkler For Lawns (2023 Updated)

I have a lightweight-metal-snake-type-non-kinking hose that I just bought and the hose works amazingly well. However, it’s a low-pressure hose because of the diameter. When used with this sprinkler, it only shoots about a foot high and that’s it.

I was really disappointed but it’s not the fault of this sprinkler manufacturer, it’s the combination of both products together. If you have a regular heavy-weight rubber hose, I’m sure it will work just fine.

I gave this five stars because I’m sure it will work fine for everyone else with “normal” hoses.

I picked up this sprinkler on a whim. Hoping for something to water the garden, but that I don’t have to worry about breaking by end of season, or getting water pressure and angles just right for it to even work.

This sprinkler has no moving parts, and my boys will be able run through it for years to come! I am so thrilled with it. Sprinkler sprays like a cone. Great coverage!.

Aqua Joe products are built to last. This thing is heavy but gets the job done! Works great for its normal purpose plus I trust will stand up to my kids beating on it when they play in it. The adjustable sprays on the side were great fun for the kids as well! Warranty process was super easy to sign up for.

This thing is super heavy duty for a sprinkler, it should last a lifetime! It weighs about 5 pounds and is made of metal. It casts water to the far areas of my lawn, which my previous sprinkler couldn’t do.

You can tell that the manufacturer has invested time and money into the research and development of this sprinkler. It comes with a good warranty and great quality control, the sprinklers are even individually serial numbered.

I mean, what more could you want in a sprinkler?.

This device is heavy but well constructed. This immediately gives the impression that it is quality. Although it is a bit difficult to understand the instructions at first with a little practice it was perfect.

I have gotten these sprinklers for two year in a row. They are the best one of this type. The spray pattern is good and they are easy to adjust. If you figure on using them more than twice forget it.

They stick in one spot and the internal parts are all cheap plastic. I have tried to take them apart and fix them, doesn’t work. For the price they are junk.

I love Dramm products. They are solid (metal) and last. I have their water hose “guns” and they are the best out there. I would have given this sprinkler 5 stars but there is only spray size adjustment in one direction.

It would be nice to be able to narrow the spray pattern for smaller lawns (more rectangular ones).

So far, I’m impressed with the Dramm sprinkler. -Sturdy construction: it featured heavily in a hot muggy 5-year old’s birthday party and was stepped on quite a bit. -Adjustable flow: I haven’t played with this much, since I have it on a nearby valve that also adjusts pressure.

-Adjustable angles: Simple intuitive end-stops that limit the swing of the head over the full range, i. e. , you can just have it spray at one angle if you want to, anywhere within the sweep.

I bought this because I was having sod installed. I needed to water sod right away because it was windy, dry, full sun and no humidity. The base is sturdy with some weight to hold it in place. I was able to water odd shaped area as sod was being put in without making work areas muddy.

As the crew moved along i could set the turret on the right pattern and soak the sod until the next zone was ready. Very happy with this purchase. I will take it to the golf course i work at to water a new putting green that needs some extra love.

Would NOT hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Bought a couple days ago because of reviews that said lawn sprinkler was good for low water pressure. Problem solved as sprinkler is fantastic for my low water pressure and the area coverage is also impressive!.

With the simplest of mechanics this sprinkler will out last and out preform any sprinkler ever made. It has the greatest ability to release a spray without plugging up. Can be used in most any stream pumping system because of the orifice size on the sprinkler head.

Easily attaches to any garden hose with a standard connection. If I could be a sales rep for this item I could make a lot of money and so could the vendor. Hope this helps someone make up their mind about what to purchase next.

very satisfied purchased 3 Dirk.

First, I have not used this sprinkler. REASON: It is winter and all hoses are stored until spring. I ordered this item which we will use this spring, summer and fall. We have a huge lot and wanted a sprinkler that would cover the area in one setting, this sprinkler will do that.

It will also do small areas at a time, also have small areas that are hard to water so looking forward to using this sprinkler. The legs are adjustable with knobs to tighten them so you can adjust the height.

Was extremely surprised by the head, it is brass which is best to use for our extremely hard water. The head is adjustable (thus can water small areas) and also has a reverse on it. The legs are heavy metal, will last for many years.

A great feature is the pipe from the sprinkler to the hose connection!! It is shaped facing upwards a little which makes it so much easier to hook the hose to the tripod. Thanking the manufacturer for doing that as I am well up in age and appreciate this being done.

Is hard for me to get up and down and this makes it so much easier to connect the hose to the tripod. This sprinkler is heavy, which is a must for an impact sprinkler to stay in place, love the adjustable legs and all can be tightened with an easy to use knob (again, thank you to the manufacturer).

Will use this sprinkler at least once a week when the weather allows.

I was excited to get this sprinkler. We as experiencing a drought and I was looking for a more efficient and possibly more water conserving way of watering my lawn. I was impressed when I opened the box because the sprinkler appears to be well made and has a little weight to it.

The tripod is easy to adjust and I am impressed with the brass sprinkler head. Plus it’s easy to take down and stores in little space. Once I had it set up, I turned on the water and found that the sprinkler only watered one area and didn’t fully rotate.

I have no experience with impact sprinklers and could not find any instructions so I had to use trial and error to try to adjust it. I have yet to get it going to my satisfaction. Those who use impact sprinklers will probably have no trouble with it and will like that the added height helps the sprinkler cover a larger area.

We live in a rural area and have a huge yard. We were looking for a product that would cover a large area so we could eliminate moving the sprinkler around to get the job done. This sprinkler does that.

It covers up to a 90 ft. area and can be set to water a circular section, as well as a partial section. The height adjusts from 22 to 48 inches, and is made from all metal, quality materials so it should hold up to high usage.

The size of the water droplets can also be adjusted and it’s easy to use as well. I also think my grandkids will enjoy this sprinkler on hot summer days! I would definitely recommend this product.

I realize that this product is made of plastic, would have preferred metal (which might explain why some plastic pieces stop working so fast). With that said, I am still loving this product. I just bought me a second one so I have one for back and front.

I do have the aqua joe but must admit after one season, with a new washer, it would stop moving ( and yes, I made sure it was cleaned). Anyway this turbo oscillator covers a wider range in my yard which results in me having to move it to fewer places.

Hopefully this will last a season or two.

It is made of a light wt material. Not like the old metal ones that were heavier. If the hose is stiff, the sprinkler is not heavy enough so you have to shape the hose around so the sprinkler lays flat to the ground.

Then it works fine.

This sprayer puts out a rectangular in the same orientation to the base of the sprayer. The patter is close to the shape of a square pattern but really are rectangle. Works great for my garden. Just the shape of spray pattern I need.

A little smaller than I thought but for covering a 10X10 area it is fine.

Well built but does not oscillate well, especially at lower water pressure. Occasionally just stops oscillation and sprays in one position. Sometimes you can jostle it around and get it going but sometimes it just won’t cooperate.

Too much babysitting for my liking.

This was probably the highest end sprinkler I’ve used for my yard. I’d typically gotten low cost ones that I’d have to replace every year. With this, it feels very high quality and like I will have it for a long time.

Being able to adjust the water flow and the range the sprinkler will rotate was a breeze. One feature I haven’t seen on sprinklers before is the ability to open the close the holes on the far ends, so I won’t have more water going out than is necessary since my front yard is narrower and at a bit of an angle.

I will get a lot of use out of this now that Spring is on its way, and I’ve opted to take my yard care duties much more seriously this year.

I couldn’t have asked for a better sprinkler for my yard. I love the way I can turn half of the sprinkler off so it doesn’t water my concrete. It’s more easier to operate then most sprinklers like this.

I like the water control on top that allows me to adjust the water flow. I also like the nozzle cleaner they provide at the end of this sprinkler it’s better then trying to find a small wire to clean it.

This sprinkler is made of heavy duty materials. I believe it will last for many years. Thanks for a Great Product Aqua Joe!!.

Fantastic sprinkler – made almost entirely of metal instead of the regular plastic ones that will only last one summer. This apparently also has a lifetime trade-in warranty with Canadian Tire that I haven’t needed to rely on…yet.

This seems to be money well spent and hopefully will be the last sprinkler I will ever need to buy.

Pricey? Sure, But worth it. Why? It’s the last one you’ll ever buy – lifetime warranty. It’s made of steel and the paint shines like a car. It also COVERS WAY MORE SQUARE FEET than other so called premium sprinklers.

Bought this sprinkler 5 years ago and is still working great. It’s a sprinkler that will last a life time. Once and a while then sprayer heads get clogged due to minerals in the water. But at the end has a tool to unclog the sprayer nozzles.

If that doesn’t work a needle works just as great. I like the ability to disable this sprayer so you can fix any issues. This sprinkler will last a life time in my eyes.

The older ones seem to stick in one place every now and then. I cleaned then with Kerosene but have not used any of them yet. Please advise the best way to keep them working all the time.

Solid brass construction, attached to a pvc 24″ riser with female adapter and Orbit spike. Now can place anywhere in the garden above plants for maximum coverage.

This sprinkler head performs as stated. Would definitely recommend and would purchase again.

After receiving the pump, I replaced an old pump with this one. After about 10 minutes of use the pump stops running and the shaft is in a bind. After calling pumps direct numerous times with a wait time was disconnected each time without speaking to anyone.

Talk about upset ! So I disconnected the new pump went and bought another one from a local dealer and got water running again. I took the pumps direct pump to a place to have it rebuilt. All said and done the pumps impeller came off and destroyed the threads on the shaft.

So now I have a kinda new pump that has been jerry rigged so it is not a total loss.

I purchased this pump about two years ago to replace another brand 2hp pump I thought was failing. The reason was low pressure and low volume. The install went as planned and unfortunately, the low pressure continued.

I thought maybe I had over-heated the pump and damaged the parts. After several times trying, I ordered and installed a rebuild kit. Same status. I had an irrigation company come to troubleshoot and after a $1,700 bill for replacing some good sprinkler heads and piddling in my yard for more than a week off and on, I sent them on their way with a $1,700 hole in my pocket.

I tried several more times addressing everything such as leaks, prime, etc to no avail. I called customer service here and they were nice to deal with and said it sounded like everything was installed right and thought there might be a leak on the suction side (guess they were right).

I tried again but the problem continued. Eventually, I had a friend of a friend that is a reputable irrigation guy come and check the system. He found my irrigation well was not producing. “well” -) and recommended I have another well installed.

I did and this pump primed quickly and started working great immediately. This pump is very powerful and in fact, it drives multiple zones (that’s right zones with 7-9 heads in each zone with 2gal/min nozzles) simultaneously.

I will not set them up to do that, but I was amazed when I accidentally ran two zones at the same time with adequate pressure. Some say this pump is very quiet. Honestly, it does sound slightly muffled, like they sound insulated the motor, but it is what it is – it’s not running in your bedroom while you’re trying to sleep.

What I am most impressed with is after almost two years of trying on a well that was not producing, this pump came to life like brand new – which says to me it is a strong workhorse and can withstand abuse.

Since I had two shots at rebuilding this pump I also found the rebuild process relatively convenient and not too expensive. I am happy with and have confidence in this pump. Thank you.

I bought this pump to irrigate my property using lake water. I had 4 zones, about 10 of vertical rise, and a distance of approximately 300ft. from the pump to the furthest zone. I used a 2 foot valve, 1-1/2 supply line and stepped down to a 1 for different zones.

The pump started and ran perfectly. It has great pressure (approx. 41 psi) consistently. The only cons were the pre-drilled holes for mounting the pump were very tight as far as access and it seemed to be a little louder than I expected.

I would definitely use this pump again and would highly recommend purchasing it.

I’ve only had this a few days, but so far I’m loving it. It is extremely adjustable (as long as your area is more or less rectangular). You can adjust the side to side width (each side can be adjusted separately), and front to back length.

In it’s most restricted format, the spray is almost straight up. The flow control valve is pretty small and hard to access without getting wet, so I use an inline shutoff just before the sprinkler that makes it easier to control.

The base is weighted so it doesn’t flop around if you bump the hose. Time will tell if it’s durable, but so far I find it to be the best sprinkler I’ve owned.

Shame on me. I keep buying these poorly produced plastic products that need to be replaced every couple years. When it works, it’s great. But like every other Gardena sprinkler I’ve owned, after a year or two, it simply stops functioning as designed.

In this case, the head rotates once and then gets stuck. So many days this summer, I’ve been fuming, not because it’s so hot, but because I set the sprinkler, set my timer for 30 minutes of watering and come out after 30 minutes to see that the sprinkler was stuck and spraying water on the exact same spot for the duration of my timer.

Don’t rely on the 5 star ratings here from owners who haven’t owned this product for more than a day. Rely on the ratings of those who have owned and used this products for weeks / months / years. They’ve been designed to fail.

We love Gardena products and this sprinkler is no exception. It has the ability to adjust the water flow to get it just right for the area you are watering. The quick connect is an added bonus. It has some weight to it, so it doesn’t tip over.

We are on a well so weren’t sure if there would be a water pressure issue, but it works great. So happy with our purchase.

Great product. Lasts for years longer than the cheap big box brands. Even flow and the oscillating function is smooth and reliable. I have a number of rent houses and I always spring for this one even though it costs more.

MORE & MORE WATER BLESSINGS Genesis 1:6 ” Then God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, separating water from water. ” Genesis 1:7 “So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above the expanse.

And it was so. ” “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ” -1 Corinthians 15:57.

Just replaced our old sprinkler with this similar model excellent quality

After using this sprinkler, I’m very impressed. The coverage is so much more than I anticipated. It will make watering my yard much simpler and faster. I’m very pleased with this purchase.

Works as expected but won’t last long like most sprinklers these days. Mostly made of cheap plastic and should be priced at half of what it is.

I bought 2 of these several years ago. The first one broke in the first week and I returned it. The second one broke the following season and wouldn’t continue to go back and forth. All there is is a clicking sound.

The base is nice and metal, but unfortunately the internals are flimsy nylon cogs. It doesn’t take much for them to break and such things age and go bad simply because plastic will always age/shrink/crack/break.

then you end up with a non-functional sprinkler you spent too much money on. I don’t know of any oscillating sprinklers that are not made this way now. My mom had several old ones which lasted a couple of decades each.

I don’t know why someone doesn’t come up with the simple solution of making these to last 10+ years. They really are not that complicated. All that needs to change is for them to produce a sprinkler where the internals are made of higher grade materials.

aka. not plastic.

I purchased a few of these kits and we installed them over the weekend. Very pleased with the outcome. I don’t know how long these will last, but they work great. I had to order additional heads to accommodate smaller areas for the side of the house.

Rainbird customer support offered suggestions on what parts to order and even provided a discount code for the additional kits and parts that I needed. I already have several people interested doing this for themselves.

I live in Central Florida where I was quoted between $5000 and $8000 for a lawn irrigation system. For less than $500 I was able to install this system instead. Absolutely delighted with this alternative.

year one (2 months long) pretty pleased. Year two (6 months long) three sprinkler heads bad, one timer failed. Year three 3 more heads failed and a second timer failed. Also hose collapsed under ground and system stopped all together.

back to regular hose type sprinkler. Too many problems. If your hose bib water pressure changes then your yard will dry up. Poor quality kit in my opinion.

This system worked out great for me. Easy to install if ground is wet. I live in town with a small yard and the system was just the right size for nice average coverage. I have some small corners not being hit, but overall a great improvement for the money.

It waters my whole yard at once with average to low pressure. The instructions and performance is very accurate in what it will do. I used a spade to wedge open a line through the yard and then stomped the ground together after installation.

This worked very well resulting in very little cosmetic scaring after install. I put my system in, in the fall and tested it then. I have self draining drains at each low point. Even though I have the drains I used a regular air compressor to blow out the pipes which was very easy with garden hose fitting adapter like the adapter used for blowing out RV water lines for winterization.

We love this system! It’s a perfect, and reasonably priced sprinkler system that is extremely easy to assemble and far less expensive than a professionally installed system. It’s very easy to customize this system to your specific needs.

Haven’t had it very long and don’t know the long-term life, but it appears to be high quality. I’m going to buy more of these very soon. Highly recommended!! I only wish I had this years ago.

Great ideas, poorly executed. All the “settings” produce nearly the same pattern on the two I bought and fiddled around with all afternoon using varying water pressure. The adjustment on top, which is supposed to customize the stream from a jet to a broken jet / mist, is akin to haphazardly placing a finger on the end of a water hose.

The three adjustments provide about as much reliable control as well; after you select a setting as soon as you turn your back the setting is lost. I wanted to like these because they are quiet, and I prefer a quiet sprinkler in some areas.

But sadly they just don’t do remotely as good a job as an inexpensive whirly top. If I can find the packaging I’ll be returning them both, if not I’ll just throw them away– they are that annoying.

This sprinkler does a good job. Has 8 settings + three little notches that can cut the spray length little, more and most. It does spray 30 on the large setting. Its simple to adjust the sweep path of your sprinkler.

When it hits the stop point its very accurate to keep water on the lawn vs preventing water going on street or sidewalk. Id get another one down the road because its simple and does a great job. Its made in China.

Looks like a commercial sprinkler head.

I was so disappointed in this purchase. After setting up the sprinklers per directions, I turned on the water and 3 of the 6 sprinklers had pinholes in the 1/4″ tubing connecting the sprinkler heads to the hose! I was careful not the turn the water on too high, just enough to get all 6 heads turning.

I’m wondering if I can get replacement parts.

I had this system for 4 years. Installation is very easy and holds without problems. I had tried the Microsystem and it’s a waste of money comparing to this one. Getting more sets for my expanding garden.
