However, for bigger kids, this sprinkler seems awesome. The water mists close to the sprinkler and also sprays up and out in all directions.
We left it outside all summer and there was some discoloration from the sun. However, the sprinkler works again this year without any problems, so it's totally durable.
Easy to connect with a rotating connector.
The face on the sprinkler is a little creepy--looks kind of like a crazy clown. Other than that, I'm very happy with this sprinkler and hope the kids will be big enough for it by the end of the summer...they are 3 and 1.5 now.
I attached photos and a video so you can get a better look.
