Title: Effective Solution for Pesky Fruit-Thieving Critters! Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) The Orbit 56565 Compact Gear Drive Sprinkler has been a game-changer in my battle against fruit-munching possums and raccoons! As a fruit tree enthusiast, it has been frustrating to see my hard-earned harvests disappear overnight due to these persistent critters. However, my setup with the sprinkler on a PVC pipe (purchased separately) has successfully deterred them from raiding my fruit trees. The main highlight of this product is its effectiveness in keeping unwanted visitors at bay. The motion detection feature is incredibly responsive, triggering the sprinkler to spray water whenever a raccoon or possum tries to make its way along the fence line. The sudden blast of water startles them, teaching them to stay away from the precious fruit trees. the gear drive sprinkler itself seems cheaply constructed but does deliver consistent and wide coverage. It effectively reaches the fence line and beyond, keeping those pesky intruders at a distance. The durability of the sprinkler and its weather resistance make it suitable for outdoor use throughout the year. Overall, the Orbit 56565 Compact Gear Drive Sprinkler has been a savior for my fruit trees, successfully deterring raccoons and possums from feasting on my harvest. Its motion detection and easy setup make it a practical and reliable solution for protecting gardens from pesky critters. I'm deducting one star due to the cheap construction of the gear, but other than that, I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with fruit-loving wildlife intruders!

Ordered this after overseeding my lawn. Have an older style orbit sprinkler that works awesome. Thinking this would be the same quality I didn’t hesitate to order another to help speed up my watering. UPS dropped it off right after I started watering. I was excited so I got it hooked up and started right away. Noticed at one point it stopped moving, but after messing with the head it seemed to work awesome after. 10 min later there is a stream of water coming from the bottom of the sprinkler head where it comes together with the spike. Thinking it came loose I tightened it which seemed to help. About 10 minutes after that I noticed water was gushing from the base. I turn the water off and notice the sprinkler is nearly in 2 pieces. I didn’t get but 20 minutes of use out of it before it was completely useless. Ordered a replacement and sending this one back. Hoping it’s a fluke, but we will see. Edit 9/17/20: replacement arrived yesterday. During day 2 of watering, the head of the sprinkler repeatedly got stuck in a position and would just click and not move. Each rotation I would have to manually turn it past the points where it would catch. If I could reduce my rating to below 1 star I would in a heartbeat. Avoid this product unless you’re buying in bulk and don’t mind throwing them away routinely after becoming useless.

Love these, use them with a timer. Just wish they would last longer. Had a few recently break

Item works greats, but such cheaply built, the plastic pieces can fall off and leave searching for the parts. Must remove before landscapers move them, otherwise the parts will fall off in the grass and it becomes useless.

Easy usage

To begin with. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW EXPENSIVE THESE THINGS ARE! I received 5 sprinklers. I did not put them all in use at the very beginning because I was still using the old sprinklers. However, as I put these in use, two of them lost the "stopper" that allows adjustability came OFF, which now makes them 360 only. Then a third one leaked excessively from the top and wouldn't even work at all. I was able to scavage the stopper from it to put on one of the other ones, but when I pushed it up to use as a 360, the stopper fell off again. The whole reason I bought these were for the versatility and mobility of the product. HOWEVER the quality of these have really gone down hill since the last time I purchased them. I'm really frustrated and have no idea how they have gone down in quality but UP in price. How it's over $100 to buy others??? Insane.

Muy. Bueno. No vibra por lo que no se sale del suelo

The product is just fantastic, covered large areas of my lawn and help me to reduce the time doing it.

East to adjust and good coverage. Not good for small spaces but work well with a 20 foot radius. Need to be taken care of so they don’t break.

Excellent sprinkler. No noisy clanks, very easy to configure and has good range. I highly approve.

es muy silencioso, compacto, el rango de acción es muy amplio; pero arroja solo se riega bien donde cae el chorro principal, la parte que esta del aspersor al chorro principal no se cae suficiente agua.
