I like pulsating lawn sprinklers for their ability to program what areas get watered. Most lawn sprinklers have a spike base that's difficult to insert into dry ground (e.g., wearing flip-flops) and the spike base gradually works loose as the ground hydrates. This sprinkler has a metal sled base that sits atop the ground and is sufficiently wide and heavy to remain stable. The sprinkler's metallic construction is sturdy and should be long-lasting. The package includes an instruction sheet explaining operation.This pulsating sprinkler arrives in two easy-to-assemble screw-together pieces, the sled base and the sprinkler mechanism. The sprinkler and base are essentially 100% metal (exceptions: plastic knob and hose washers); everything is nicely machined with no sharp edges; and painted areas are well-painted. The sprinkler has three controls: distance deflector (length of stream); spray diffuser (potent stream or wide spray); and rotation control (what fraction of a full circle). The sprinkler fits standard 3/4" garden hoses and the package includes extra hose washers.Pulsating sprinklers sometimes require greater water pressure than oscillating sprinklers. My residential water pressure is not outstanding but (tested) is plenty ample to operate this sprinkler. In the past I've experienced problems when pulsating sprinklers gradually gummed up until they rotation-froze; cleaning did not resolve the problem. This pulsating sprinkler's vendor backs their quality sprinkler with a (web page) return and refund guarantee within three years of shipment; that solves the gumming possibility. And the 20 percent discount coupon current offer sweetens the deal further.

Keeping a large lawn hydrated can be a chore, but the FANHAO Heavy Duty Pulsating Impact Lawn Sprinkler aims to make it easier. With its all-metal construction and impressive coverage claims, I put it to the test. Here's my review:The Good: * Heavy-Duty Metal Construction: The 100% metal build is immediately noticeable. This sprinkler feels robust and durable, promising to withstand the elements and frequent use. * Impressive Coverage: The advertised 5800 sq. ft. coverage is no exaggeration. This sprinkler delivers a wide and even spray pattern, effectively covering large areas of my lawn. * Adjustable Spray Pattern: The adjustable spray pattern allows for customization, from a full 360-degree circle to a partial arc. This versatility is crucial for watering specific areas or avoiding over-spraying. * Powerful Pulsating Impact: The pulsating impact design delivers a strong and consistent spray, even in windy conditions. * Stable Metal Base: The heavy-duty metal base provides excellent stability, preventing the sprinkler from tipping over during operation. * Easy to Adjust: the adjustment tabs are easy to move, and the spray distance adjustment is also simple to use.The Not-So-Good: * Noise Level: As with most impact sprinklers, this model is quite noisy. The pulsating action creates a noticeable clicking sound, which might be a concern for those with close neighbors. * Initial Setup: While adjustments are easy, initially setting the spray pattern and distance can take some trial and error to achieve the desired results. * Water Pressure Dependence: The coverage and spray distance are heavily dependent on water pressure. Low water pressure may result in reduced performance. * Potential for Puddling: If not properly adjusted, the powerful spray can lead to puddling in certain areas.Overall:The FANHAO Heavy Duty Pulsating Impact Lawn Sprinkler is a powerful and durable tool for keeping large lawns hydrated. Its all-metal construction, impressive coverage, and adjustable spray pattern make it a worthwhile investment. While it's noisy and requires some initial setup, its performance and durability outweigh these minor drawbacks.Pros: * Heavy-duty metal construction * Excellent large area coverage * Adjustable spray pattern * Powerful pulsating impact * Stable metal base * Easy to adjustCons: * Noisy operation * Initial setup requires some adjustment * Water pressure dependent * Potential for puddlingRecommendation:If you have a large lawn and need a reliable and durable sprinkler, the FANHAO Heavy Duty Pulsating Impact Lawn Sprinkler is an excellent choice. Its robust construction and impressive coverage make it a valuable addition to any lawn care arsenal. Just be prepared for the noise and take the time to adjust the spray pattern for optimal performance.

Over the years I bought many sprinklers, returned some and used other with very little success. Impact sprinklers are the only kind that gives gapless coverage, but they tend to walk or wobble. The issue with sprinkler with a spike is the spike loses its grip as the water wets the ground underneath. This sprinkler has perfect weight that keeps it in place. It is heavy enough so can be easily put it in the perfect sprinkling spot. The upper, metallic, reciprocating nozzle mechanism is a bit more rugged with more robust adjustment and the lower base mechanism is metal instead of plastic. It's built to last a long time.Pros;- Heavy duty build quality- All metal construction- 360 degree large area coverage, covers Up to 5800 sq. ft- Easy to change the settings- Heavy metal base keeps the sprinkler well grounded- Durable- No leaking issue- Reasonably priced- Great value for moneyCons;- Nothing identified yet.I like some nice features that this sprinkler has e.g. the water pattern can be adjusted from a partial circle to a full 360 degree circle by flipping clip to up position. The water Spray Distance can be adjusted from minimum to maximum by turning a knob at the top of the sprinkler. However, I find the knob hard to turn. I need to lift it up and turn. There is also a diffuser pin to adjust the spray intensity from gentle mist to powerful jet.Another feature is that you can connect more than one sprinkler together. It comes with a swivel-type coupling which makes connecting to hose easy. I identified no leaking in the connection.I am really impressed with all metal construction. Overall, I found this to be a well built sprinkler that had everything I could want. While looking at the price, it certainly looks and feels like it is worth the cost. Highly recommend if you are looking for a heavy duty sprinkler that gets the job done and will last a good long time.

As in all metal sprinkler that should not corrode when wet, this is a useful item. To adjust from a fixed arc to a three hundred and sixty degree circle is also useful. The adjustment feature as to distance of -- Short and wide or farther but narrower-- Is a useful idea. It gives a little more control other than just turning the amount of water flow up or down.Handful of minor flaws for unit we received: The main issue (thus one-star off) is that the distance adjustment knob is extremely difficult on our unit to adjust, it's not clear if one needs to push down and turn or do some other thing to adjust the distance as it's not described in the instructions. The same knob can be pulled up but it's not clear if that has a function or not.The metal is somewhat light, not being steel; but the base is wide enough that it stays put. The base is hollow, which also gives it low weight. For these same reasons it does not feel as robust as it might of a heavier metal. Other than the weight of it, however it does appear to be fairly solidly built. But only time will tell for sure how well it stands up to regular use.

This product comes with 1 x Base, 1 x Pulsating sprinkler attachment, 2 x Extra washers (in addition to the one already installed and 1 x Quick guide.I have gone through a few similar products over the years that were made of plastic. This product caught my attention due to the all metal design which should in theory provide a long life to the product. This one definitely looks far better than the traditional ones sold in stores. I love the all metal design, and the base is heavy enough it will not move. There is also an already applied filter washer on the inlet at the base. This filter washer can easily be removed by simply pushing carefully on one side of the mesh until the washer lifts, then simply lift and remove. The 2 spare washers do not have filters, but those are available in stores and online so it's not an issue.There are several adjustments you can make such as adjusting the water pressure (which controls the distance), diffusion level and coverage angle. Instructions are provided with each area labeled with a letter, however, for a person who has not used this before, it might seem confusing. Better instructions and video providing examples and pictures would have been better. For those that have not used this type of product, you will need to go by trial and error.Since it is winter here at the time of writing, I was unable to test it outside in my backyard. However, I have tested it inside a very large car shelter to confirm that it works as expected, and it did.Given its very solid constructions and all metal design, I expect this product will not need replacing for a very long time, if ever at all, though only time will tell how long this one will last and whether rust will eventually become an issue. So far based on my impressions I would definitely recommend this over the plastic versions sold in stores.

It’s full on winter here so there’s no way to test this until the spring. Looking forward to having a sprinkler, last year, we had to keep repositioning the hose, so it could reach the different parts of the lawn that were parched.It’s a solid looking little metallic piece. Comes in two parts, which screw together for easy assembly. I had to get my boyfriend to help me figure out how to turn the dial for adjusting how far the sprinkler jets. There’s a lever you need to press underneath where the water will jet out which tilts the whole thing forward and allows you to turn the dial. In case you were wondering, (and struggling like me) you’re welcome.I like the colours of it with the grain on the bottom which melts into the lawn, and the metallic gold on top so that it’s visible and you don’t trip on it. It’s decent heavy so it looks like it will stay put once it’s set up.I can’t say I know much about sprinklers, but a quick search on Amazon shows me that most other sprinkler systems are less expensive than this one, even though they look very similar (40$ or less).50$ for this one. Still within the range of reasonable for something like this I think but I’d be tempted to try one of the less expensive ones.

ITEM REVIEWED : FANHAO Heavy Duty Pulsating Impact Lawn Sprinkler with Metal Base____________________________________________________________________________________________I've owned quite a few very similarly made sprinklers of this kind BUT NOT one as solidly built as this one. This incorporates the same features/functions as most of the sprinklers of this type. BUT THIS IS BUILT LIKE A BRICK ***HOUSE ! You can select it to cover just a section of your lawn or completely cover a circular area. I typically put it in a corner and it does nicely from one property line to 90 degrees the other... later after a while I move it to another corner of my yard.Now it's winter up here in Canada. Luckily after this arrived at my door we had one day were the temperature went up to 3°C (34°F) so I set this up (very) briefly on my driveway. It performed perfectly as expected and I'm confident because of it's SOLID BUILD that it will last me even perhaps a lifetime.OK... the current price of CAD$49.90 was a bit of an eye opener... but then when I think of what I paid in the past for the non-metal/solid ones I've bought... this is about CAD$15 to $20 more than those... BUT then realizing that in the past I had to buy a new one every 2 to 3 years... this is actually a GOOD DEAL. I really doubt I'll need to buy one to replace this one in a long time,,, if ever... ...BUT I think I might just buy another one for my front lawn so I can do both at the same time!____________________________________________________________________________________________DISCLAIMER - This product was provided to me FREE of charge as part of the Amazon Vine Review program without any conditions ... other than that I must submit a review within 30 days of receipt.

If you have ever been frustrated and disappointed by cheap lightweight sprinklers that fall over on the lawn while in use, or dig into the turf when they are moved, or have constant leaks and similar problems, the FANHAO heavy duty pulsating impact lawn sprinkler represents a well designed and executed device for any homeowners with medium to large size lawns or gardens. This brand has a significant presence on the Amazon storefront, including a broad selection of lawn sprinklers, nozzles, etc.Here at the sprinkler intensive tree farm home base we have several rules to follow when purchasing sprinklers. The first rule is to avoid lightweight plastic devices that easily tip and cannot handle the long term use and abuse of the sprinkler lifestyle. Another important treat is to have a firm base to avoid tipping and facilitate easy on the ground movement by simply pulling on the connected hose.Avoiding any sprinklers that don’t have a brass coupling for adding and removing garden hoses is paramount. Any other material, aluminum, plastic, etc. will soon experience threading damage/stripping/breakage from the constant wear and tear of adding and removing garden hoses, pulling the sprinkler through ground level obstacles while relocating, etc.The present item under review passes all preceding product requirements and more. The sprinkler is all long-lasting zinc coated metal from top to bottom. For anyone new to this style of oscillating sprinkler, be prepared for a device that is extremely adjustable to capture the majority of irrigation chores. Adjustable options include the spray diffuser, rotation arc, range of distance and coverage.Oscillation options range from 20-360°. Perhaps the only downside of this type of sprinkler is the inherent circular design of all water delivery patterns. At some point this produces a scenario of either watering overlap or underlap.Who knows? Perhaps future AI equipped sprinklers will be able to turn an oscillating sprinkler like this with the ability to selectively program water to spray in virtually any shape available. Perfect for L shaped lawns or V shaped gardens :-)Although we can’t vouch for the actual performance of the sprinkler owing to the 2 feet of pesky snow currently covering the lawn as this review is written, we do have considerable experience with almost identical twin sprinklers and have found them to be very useful for covering larger surface areas. We would have no hesitation in recommending this product for anyone looking for a decently performing sprinkler designed and built properly and capable of continued trouble-free use year after year.The verdict:The FANHAO heavy duty pulsating impact lawn sprinkler represents a well designed and executed device for any homeowners with medium to large size lawns or gardens. An overall product score of 5/5 is assigned.
