Melnor Walking Lawn Sprinkler Aug 14, 2008 The lawn sprinkler is just what my husband wanted. It is well built and looks great! It is made like the other three Melnor Lawn sprinklers that he had in the past and had worn out. Just what he wanted and the price was
still great!

lousy product, lousy company, lousy customer service Sep 13, 2005 Like the previous reviewer, we too, had a Melnor traveling sprinkler that worked great 25 years ago. They definitely don't make 'em like they used to, and this sprinkler is a complete waste of a lot of money. No wonder the company doesn't stand behind their products -- even they know it's not worth it.
The sprinkler worked fine for the first few times, so I thought I was having better luck. But within a month it just stopped, and no amount of tightening, checking or prodding will get it going again. If I had the time or inclination to babysit a sprinkler, I would have bought one for $20, not $60. You're paying for the convenience it supposedly offers -- to set it and leave it to do its thing.
To make things worse, Melnor's customer service response was to ask me to send the mechanism back (at my expense of course.) Now I know why so few stores carry their products.

Tough to keep moving Aug 05, 2005 As a kid we had Melnor travelling sprinklers and seem to recall they worked very well. I am less than pleased with this version. Although it mentions not to use with new lawn, I did and the results were disappointing. You have to make sure that the connections are perfect. It does not handle even a slight incline well and lower water pressure tips the scales even further. I have to baby sit this thing to make sure it keeps moving. The sprinkler heads move very slowly unless going downhill. It was very contentious. When purchasing this item you would expect to set it even on a slight slope and watch it move at least 25 feet in an hour and have the sprinkler heads move in a rapid fashion. On even ground, the sprinkler heads slow to a crawl and sometime barely move at all and the progress it makes is generally about 5-7 feet per hour. My lawn is now almost fully grown and at this time I have abandoned it's use in favor of other sprinklers. Perhaps if you have everything going for you, slightly downhill slope, high water pressure, perfect connections and hard ground you will get better results.
I would recommend buying another "type" of sprinkler. They don't make them like they used to.
