What a difference this sprinkler is to the ones we've purchased in the past. This is definitely a great product. You can set it numerous ways, and it has truly made a difference in our yard, and the trees we have planted. We are in the South and it does get hot here, so this has saved dragging hoses around, and dealing with the sprinklers that lay on the ground. They never seem to hold up, and were always getting stuck in a certain position. They were also very cheaply made, but not necessarily cheap in price. We are very happy with this product, and think it is worth paying a little more for a much better quality item.
