I've been holding off on buying one of these for years because of the price. Well the price really hasn't changed in all this time and now I wish I had bought this years ago. It does an awesome job watering, covers a ton of area and is so much easier to use than standard stand-alone sprinkler. It easily handles pulling 300ft of hose (in roughly a straight line) with no issue of bogging down. Highly recommend the investment.
