Set to spray three shade gardens - East Texas
I set up mine to sweep three shade gardens in a pass. Took a while to find the right water flow pattern and pressure. Love the low volume function. Uses less water than expected. Watered the three beds nicely. Semi-random pattern of spraying water is nice coverage. -
The best sprinkler ever!
High quality, well made metal construction, reached the ENTIRE yard and has multiple patterns and adjustments. -
I like brass
Yes it's quiet and cute and it does have 2 worthwhie spray patterns. Sending a single stream a long distance with very little water inbetween seems odd. Interesting concept but I see that a good brass pulse sprinkler still offers many more spray options. With the added benefit of metronomic sussuration. . . . -
Manufacturing/Engineering Deficiency
This sprinkler is terrific when it works but, like others have written, it has a propensity to break off around where the base connects to the head. With the metal base as sturdy as it is -- and the plastic head seeming sturdy -- the connection is definitely a week spot, an engineering/manufacturing deficiency. I bought this sprinkler late in the summer of 2015 and used it several times before the head cracked off. Garrett Wade replaced it without a problem but the watering season had passed. So, I didn't have to use the replacement until May, 2016. Again I used it a couple of times but when I flopped ( not dropped) it on the ground the head broke off again. If the sprinkler didn't have this problem I would rate it between 4 and 5 stars.

There have been improvements made to the German Circular Sprinkler. The manufacturer has informed us that the connecting neck is upgraded. It appears the same on the outside but the interior is of a stronger material. This new batch should fare better. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

Great concept, poor or inadequate materials
Would have been awesome if not for the serious design flaw. I dropped in on the ground from about 8 inches and the entire top snapped off. Upon investigation, I realized the material used and the thinness of it at the joint/neck were not what they should be. I used it maybe four times and it is now going back. -
German Circular Sprinkler (It never worked properly)
So much for German made products. Glad there was another reviewer who had the head break off at the same place mine did. Very frustrating. I guess the plastic cannot stand up to the Texas sun. -
Sprinkler works great!
It works great and I love it. I think it will hold up to the extreme heat and sun in southern New Mexico.
BUT: I agree: where is the instruction manual? The controls for the degrees of a circle are a little confusing, and what is that cute red slider button for?

Exquisite Functionality
I was a bit dubious when I first opened the box and wondered if this would really be the sprinkler that could hold up to our harsh Texas weather that a half dozen other styles of sprinklers had not. The weight and strength of this sprinkler made it clear this is one that would last. The controls are simple to operate and effective--when you put them in a spot they stay, the coverage is well controlled and the water goes exactly where you want. bogie -
Sprinkler
Great product. Quality with reliability. Tremendous value over time. -
Threads Break Off
When I first started using this sprinkler I was impressed with its ease of use and variety of settings. However after little over a month of use the threaded end that screws into the base broke off from the sprinkler body. I did not hit the plastic sprinkler against anything or drop it on itself. It just broke off. I tried epoxying it back on but after two days it broke off again. Don't know if the direct sunlight and heat where I live played a part in its failure but it didn't last. Very disappointed considering the price. I went to the local hardware and purchased a solid brass impact springer with a 3/4 thread and it screws right into the base and works fine. At least the base is good." -
Were's the Instruction Manual
Seems to work well, but I am not sure I am using it optimally. Could use more info than three vague pictures. -
Well Built Sprinkler
This sprinkler is well built and the fit and finish seem very good. It also puts out some nice spray patterns. Just don't forget to turn it off....it is almost completely silent when it is operating. It wont keep you awake when your taking an afternoon nap on the deck... -
Best Sprinkler Ever
I love this sprinkler. It is completely adjustable. The rotation mechanism works so well, there is no extra lingering at the outer parameters like on so many other sprinklers. You know the kind, where the outer edges get twice the water as the middle? Not with this one. Smooth. Efficient. The base is heavy enough so that it stays in place without having to put a rock on it, or wrestle with the hose. The nozzle can be adjusted so that the water flows in a high arc, or kept low, or anything in between. I want another one!
