Cheap plastic parts [Posted on 2006-06-25] The cheap plastic arm that traces the heart shaped turbo shaft jumps right off and or pops out of the track. This happened within the first 2 hours of use. save your money
Once more, with feeling [Posted on 2007-05-17] Cheap plastic part -- the "heart" that makes this sprinkler so special is made of plastic with a plastic washer to hold it on, briefly. Save your money and get a drip hose.
Good sprinkler [Posted on 2007-06-15] Having owned this sprinkler for over a year, I have never experienced the problems reported by the other reviewers. It is true that it is a little difficult to do major adjustments when water is flowing, but that is because the water is putting pressure on the gears. You can easily make minor adjustments while it is running, but it is better to stop the water before making big changes to the pattern setting. The sprinkler is solid and performs better than the many cheaper oscillating sprinklers we have owned previously. The only suggestion I would make to the manufacturer is to make the nozzles removable so that if a small object inhibits the water flow, it is easier to remove.
Wish I had read the reviews [Posted on 2008-06-09] I picked this up at Walmart, not knowing the problems that this and other Nelson Turbo-Heart models carry with them. Like other reviewers, I found that the plastic oscillating mechanism tended to get caught up and cause the sprinkler to halt in one spot, soaking one end of the garden while leaving the other end dry. It started doing this after about 2 weeks of use.
Very effective sprinkler [Posted on 2008-06-24] This sprinkler provides very uniform water distribution over small and large surface areas, with flexibility re direction and size of the arc. While the mechanism is made of plastic, the sled is made of thick metal, the coupling is brass, and there is a water screen in the hose fitting to minimize clogging. Over two seasons not a single orifice has clogged, and its oscillating performance remains excellent. Very cost effective item.
