Review title: lousy product, lousy company, lousy customer service
Product review: 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.
