It works quite well and the adjustments were quite easy to make. The sprinkler does exactlty what it claims it will do, which is perfect for me since I have a strangely shaped front yard space to water. <br /> <br />Before I bought this product I read the negative reviews, so I'll add my comments to those. Some people said the sprinkler would move around and they had to weight it down but I have had no such issues. Others said that when exposed to prolonged bright sun the plastic became brittle and the ring eventually broke. Obviously I haven't had the sprinkler long enough to evaluate that one, and, actually, based on that review I am moving my sprinkler to a shady, covered area after use to try to avoid such an issue. I haven't tried to use it in a series, but I may order another one and see how that works out and add to this review at a later time. <br /> <br />Thusfar I am very satisfied with the sprinkler.

It comes without directions, I called the company, thinking, that's not possible, but "customer service" said, "Correct. No directions, just what's written on the cardboard." And that's useless. No directions online and the young woman at customer service seemed quite impatient with me. She said, "Trial and error is the best way to do it." I swear she said that! Well, we'll see. How can I keep myself from getting soaked if I use her trial-and-error method? This is no way to run a company or put out a product. Rating: 1 / 5 I have not yet used this sprinkler.

The 6 dollar sprinkler is what I just use now. Don't waste your money with this. Rating: 1 / 5 I bought this to try to get my whole yard water, but I am not impressed with it.
