Great time and water saving device
I've had a couple of the Orbit sprinklers and the Nelson 1865, along with the John Deere model. All work well but only last a season or two before the gears (made of plastic) break or strip or the unit begins to leak a lot. The Orbit I have now leaks at the back where the hose connects and there seems to be no way to service it as the connection was installed at the factory. Despite this, compared to the cost of an underground sprinkling system any of these models are worthwhile, though there are some tips I've learned with experience.
It usually helps to use a timer, even a cheap plastic one that can stop the sprinkler after a couple of hours. Then you move the hose if needed since none of these seem up to dragging over 50-75 feet of hose behind them, they sometimes bog down at that point and the wheels just chew up your lawn in one spot. If your sprinkler is dragging a too much hose it will also wear out the internal gears faster and they're both a pain and an expense to...

Green Bill
The automatic shutoff valve stopped working on the Orbit traveling sprinkler during the first season. The gears were shot in the third season. I live in Oregon where the watering season is very short. The sprinkler worked slow but well for this short amount of time. Over $50 seems rather expensive for only about 7 months of life. I am now considering a rather expensive National Walking Sprinkler as a replacement.
After I wrote the above review, I contacted Orbit's online technical assistance department. They informed me that they would replace the sprinkler at no charge even though I no longer had my proof of purchase. That's great customer support!
Incredible Customer Service
I had this sprinkler for a couple months before I started having a problem. The problem may have been my fault, but it's also a potential shortcoming of having a traveling sprinkler. The front wheel jumped off the hose (the ground is uneven in my yard) and the sprinkler ran into a large rock surrounding one of my planter beds. It probably sat there for a couple hours pushing against the rock. As a result, the gears that drive the sprinkler were stripped and it no longer can drive itself forward. If my yard were more flat rather than pitted, this sprinkler would work perfectly. I was very happy with the sprinkler when it was running, but am disappointed that I may not be able to use it in the most uneven parts of my yard.
But, here's the most amazing thing about Orbit, the company that sells the sprinkler. I called customer service to describe my problem and without any questions they said a new sprinkler would be sent to me in five business days. They didn't advise that I...
