Gilmour831673-1001 Circular Sprinkler w/Wheel Base-Adjustable (5,800 sq. ft.), Black/Aqua

I am very upset with this product as I was fooled by the "Heavy Duty" statement in the advertising. I purchased this on June 21st and as of July 19th it is broken. It will only spray water in a straight line and will nolonger move. Apparently the moving piece infront of where the water comes out has broken off. This product is made poorly and didn't last a month.

The top blew off on first use and it just didn’t meet my requirements.

I don't know why, but it's hard to find a good circular impact sprinkler. I love this one! It's great that you can turn it on an off at the sprinkler and adjust how far it sprays (no more monkeying with the spigot to try to get it just right). I also like that it has wheels. On the downside, it's hard to turn the adjustment knob when it's wet. That would be an easy fix for the Gilmour folks, though. I also wonder how long it will last since it's mostly plastic, but so far, so good!

The only reason I would not give this a 5 star is because it feels very subpar compared to my other Gilmore products. Plan on adding weight or a fastener to this depending on water pressure, mine tips over during normal operation otherwise.

Needs a a lot of water pressure to continue back and forth. Seems to work fine one direction but spring tension must be to strong going other direction., I have a much older sprinkler very similar that works fine.

Dislike: The base is too light weight in my opinion. I placed two rocks on the base so that it would not vibrate so much. Vibration of the sprinkler reduces it's effectiveness. Other than that issue I like the sprinkler.

I just purchased my second one of these tonight to water my large lawn after aeration/overseeding. I will be using both at the same time with two different hoses to cover a large area. I don’t think I have figured out how to get this to cover 5800 sq ft yet, but I am hopeful that I will soon figure it out so I have to move them less. Being able to shut the sprinkler off without turning the water off at the source seems to be a great feature and is very convenient!I have only had the first sprinkler for a week and got the second today, so I will update this review if any problems arise.

As a PRIME CUSTOMER. This is getting very frustrating. This is not HEAVY DUTY as stated by the seller nor do they have a CIRCULAR BASE!!!! This is clearly of poor quality and very CHEAP and V-SHAPED Base and not round as stated. The other customers said it falls over and stops working in the middle of using the product. The seller keeps asking the same question of me sending pictures. But, they do not give me an address to send them to them. This has been over 4 days of back and forth with the seller. They will not pay the freight. Please see attached pictures. As you can see they are not damaged or used.

I searched out the Gilmour sprinkler to replace a previous Gilmour that we had for more than 15 years before it finally wore out. We have 3 acres of yard and garden and it did a great job. Shoots water really far, covering a very large area. My only complaint is that our previous one was heavy and made with a good heavy cast aluminum base…This one is plastic. When watering corn we would often set it atop an inverted garbage bin to water above the corn plants. With the hose pressure this one will tip off of the bin, so the base needs to be weighted down with a rock. It’s a good sprinkler, but I can’t see it lasting 15 years like the previous one. Makes me sad that so many previously good things are turning into the cheap quality stuff.

The sprinkler is fairly sturdy and works very well. The only problem is the I thought the base would be metal instead of plastic and that would have made it more stable.

This is a very lightweight sprinkler and tips over so easy. I'm not sold on this sprinkler at all. You need to put a rock or brick on it to keep it from tipping over. Although it does work, I am disappointed with this purchase.

I liked that it has a lifetime guarantee

I loved this sprinkler for the first 2 weeks, then the sprinkler kept on getting stuck in its rotation.I consistently had to nudge it for it to start turning again. Defeats the purpose. I’m returning it.
