This thing beats having to walk around the yard and move my sprinkler all over the place. My yard is on a hill so sometimes it tips and i have to go out and fix it. It is pretty slow moving and takes a couple of hours to cover my yard which is probably about .2 acres. The product is heavy and well made and requires minimal setup. If you don't want to pay for a sprinkler system and don't want to move around a sprinkler in your yard this is the way to go.
