Aqua Joe Indestructible Oscillating Sprinkler
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "There is nothing made from steel or indestructible on this oscillating sprinkler. The frame is cast aluminum or some other alloy, nicely painted though.\nThe nozzles are made of plastic not brass and the gear is the same you get with any of the other brands for sale here on amazon or in the hardware store. So I'm expecting no wonders regarding longevity. It does it's job pretty well while still new and will have to compete against a similar but cheaper model from Lowes. Lets see which one surrenders first.\n>>Update: Deserves 5 stars. Still sprays like it did on day one."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Feels like a quality product for the price. I bought this to water my front lawn area, approximately 50\'x40\'. I have good water pressure and this sprinkler has no trouble covering that area and then some when there is no wind. It maxes out at about 75\' by 55\' on a calm day so a turn the spigot down a bit to keep from watering the street.\n\nTo get this much distance, something\'s gotta give. I have another sprinkler that doesn\'t cover as much area, but puts more water down per sqft (larger spray nozzles). It takes 45 minutes to put down 1/2" of water per sqft with this, vs a half hour with the other sprinkler. Also, the "finer" jets of water are a little more susceptible to being blown around by slight breezes.\n\nAll in all, a great sprinkler for a big area. I hope they make one with X and Y adjustments so I can fine tune without turning down the faucet, I\'d buy a couple.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'They say that the pattern is completely customizable. It says you can control WIDTH AND RANGE. Well, you can only control the width of the sweep. You can easily control exactly where the sweep goes with in the range of the sweep but you CAN NOT control the width of the sweep pattern. The water comes out of all the nozzles and goes full width no matter what. There are others where you can control the width of the pattern as well as the range of the sweep.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Seems well constructed, all parts look fine. The clean out tool is is inserted in the end of the sprinkler nozzle tube away from the hose connection. The tool has small pegs on the sides near the o ring so can only be reinstalled a certain way though it is easy to remove or reinstall. If you ever see water gushing or leaking out of that end you are missing the tool or the o ring is missing or damaged.\n\nWe have only used it a few times because we've been getting a lot of rain but it works as described and as shown in the video. It comes with a 2 year warranty that can be expanded to 2 years plus 3 months if you register the product with the manufacturer. Information says it was manufactured in Taiwan. It comes with good easy to understand instruction and maintenance directions."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'It seems like a well made product other than one major design flaw. The end peice that doubles as a jet cleaner works its self loose way too easily. Ive used it for a month and have come outside to it gushing water out the end five times.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "the base is nice and heavy metal, so when I pulled it out of the box, I was unpleasantly surprised to see that the gear box and actual sprinkler parts are PLASTIC. Essentially this product is the same as the cheap dollar store sprinkler that I was attempting to replace (but for twice the cost). Will not even waste my time with this. Returning tomorrow. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Great Sprinkler! I am amazed at it's range! It reaches at least 1 1/2 times as far as the one it replaces. Solid metal base, easy to attach to your hose because the thumb wheel is large enough to operate efficiently. I don't give reviews often. This little jewel deserves one. (unpaid endorsement).

They all became inoperable so I was hesitant to order the Sun Joe. Am very pleased with the purchase and find it easy to adjust and it looks very durable. I see they are now unavailable. Hope they come back because I would like to order another one.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I\'ve had yards and gardens for more than 30 years now and I\'ve gone through all kinds of sprinklers. They work well for a bit and then don\'t or they just look good and don\'t work or they\'re delicate so that when an obese butterfly lands on them, they break. This one is fantastic in every way. It\'s strong --metal except for the adjustable levers -- and had an easy to attach opening that means you won\'t strip threads and end up with leaks at the connection like you always do. The adjustment for how far it goes in either direction is simple. There are two (thick) plastic levers that you can easily move with one finger. They have small levels of adjustment that you can easily feel so you can adjust in **both** directions exactly and easily. Most sprinklers have a cheap plastic wheel that you turn one way that then turns another wheel another way and it\'s hard to get it right. This couldn\'t be simpler -- you move it a notch at a time and get it right where you want. The bottom line is that you should get this (or multiples like I have) now before someone decides that it\'s so good it can be "improved" and they mess it up. Leave the design alone. One possibly unintended benefit of using metal is that even if your hose is slightly twisted, this sprinkler is heavy enough that it won\'t suddenly turn itself over because of pressure from the hose. With light sprinklers, you can easily either get a blast in the face as you adjust where it\'s placed while it\'s running or you come out later to find that it turned over and has soaked one square foot of your lawn for 30 minutes. A great product.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': ' I bought this sprinkler as a toy for my water-loving German Sheperd. She has played roughly with it every day for a month and it’s still good as new. My previous sprinkler didn’t last a day. The Aqua Joe sprinkler is easy to adjust the spray and extremely durable. I have also used it for watering and it works great.'}]
