 "Programmable" sprinkler a great value July 21, 2005

Had thought this sprinkler was no longer available; but a net search lead me to a link through Amazon, where the price was fantastic. This sprinkler allows you to "program" the watering pattern to maximize water use. It can water short and long distances in one rotation depending on your needs. Sounds tricky, but is easy with clear directions and "user friendly" mechanism on the sprinkler. Well worth the money. Delivery time was very quick.
 Great concept, but... September 16, 2006

I got two of these about two years ago and both have had quite a work out. It's an excellent concept and works as described, but the plastic programming disk, flexible when new, broke within a few months after becoming brittle in the sun. I tend not to change the programming on it anymore for fear of it becoming unusable. Nonetheless, this is easily two stars better than any of the other plastic sprinkers of theirs that I've tried.
Thank you Amazon July 23, 2006

I have owned 2 Gilmour 996D for over 2 years. Now that I need to replace them, one because I dropped it and the other because of my neighbors car, I am happy to see that someone still sells it. After traveling around the city looking for one and all of our home and improvement centers not having it I resorted to the net. Thank you Amazon.
I did not know what I was going to do without this amazing piece of technology. It is so easy to use and so versatile. No other sprinkler comes close to matching it.

OK for a plastic made sprinkler but I guess I was expecting more from Gilmore.
A great sprinkler for odd-shaped yards January 8, 2007

I have used all sorts of adjustable sprinklers to water my lawn. None were as efficient as the Pattern Master. This sprinkler evenly waters my triangular-shaped lawn without wasting water on the side of the house, driveway, fence, or garden areas. Not only can you adjust the range it will spray in any given direction, but you can also set it to water a section of lawn or in a full 360 degree pattern.
If you have a large irregular shaped yard that will require you to move the sprinkler around, you may instead want to buy two of these sprinklers. Once you have the highly adjustable plastic disc set to perfectly water a particular section, it is a pain to adjust and readjust it for another area.
The sprinkler is very light weight and made almost entirely of plastic, however, it has outlasted two similar metal sprinklers I bought at the same time last spring. I would suggest keeping the sprinkler in your garage during winter to improve its longevity.
