This is the best solutions I’ve found for running four zones of above-ground or drip irrigation from a single faucet. The timer works reliably – mine has been running every month for a year with no problems. It’s relatively simple to set up, the large LED screen is easy to read and the programming doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out. Continue Reading
The Melnor Turbo Rotary Sprinkler is a simple rotary sprinkler with some nice features, but it suffers from the "water donut" problem - nearly all the water lands in a circle around the perimeter of the coverage area, leaving the ground between the sprinkler and the perimeter practically dry. Continue Reading
The Melnor All Metal Pulsating Sprinkler with step spike is a great, basic impact sprinkler. The spike ensures that it will stay in the same place in your yard, and the extra connector means that you can run several sprinklers at once. Continue Reading
Simple and easy to use, the Melnor XT Turbo Oscillating Sprinkler would work great for a rectangular or square yard. The sprinkler has a rubberized hose connector, so gripping and attaching the hose is easy on arthritic hands. The length is the only adjustable part of this sprinkler, but for most oscillating sprinklers, that's all you need. Continue Reading
For a simple, set-it-and-forget-it timer that automatically runs every single day, this is an excellent choice. It’s easy to set up, reliable and effective. In fact, it’s the easiest-to-use timer I’ve ever used. On the other hand, if you need a more varied irrigation schedule, this wouldn’t be the choice for you. Continue Reading
Melnor has included some nice features on the XT Turbo Oscillating Sprinkler. The adjustment controls, though not intuitive, give you a lot of control over where the water goes, and the hose connector is easy to grip and turn. It works well at both higher and lower water pressure (although coverage is less at lower pressure, it still oscillates). Overall, it's a very good sprinkler with lots of features and is a good choice for Continue Reading
We love all of the adjustments you can make on this sprinkler. From flow control to length and width adjustment, you can really customize the Melnor XT MiniMax Turbo Oscillating Sprinkler for your yard or garden. This is especially handy if you have a narrow strip of lawn to water, as the adjustments allow you to choose a narrow stream of water and fit the spray pattern to a very precise area. It doesn't have Continue Reading
This 4-valve, smart water timer is controlled from the comfort of your home - or anywhere with internet access. Using the free app or desktop program, you can set and change watering programs for each zone independently and at any time. The control box is hard wired to your modem and the valve unit screws onto your outdoor faucet. It's easy to use, simple to set up, and works like a charm. However, since it Continue Reading
At only $9.97, the Melnor Talon bypass pruner is a perfect example of “you get what you pay for.” It works but it has some quality issues (burrs form on the cutting blade), it cuts through only ¾-inch branches (rather than the claimed 1 inch), and it pinches your hands with each cut. If you have large hands and a limited budget, this pruner may work for you. If you have small hands, give it Continue Reading
Melnor’s Talon lopper has some nice features, like strong, curved aluminum handles, a very sharp cutting blade, and extendable handles for extra leverage. And it cuts cleanly through 2-inch branches. But the extendable handles slipped constantly, the bumpers fell out, a handle grip fell off and the blade developed burrs. If Melnor can clean up the quality control problems, this would be a very nice lopper. Continue Reading

Bristling with an impressive 10 watering patterns, a slip-resistant rubberized grip and head, heavyweight metal construction, and a thumb controlled flow-control and shut-off, the 00452 is a worthy contender in the highly competitive garden nozzle market. Continue Reading
