Orbit 58573N H2O-Six Gear-Drive Sprinkler on Metal T-Spike

I recently purchased the Orbit 58573N H2O-6 Gear Drive Sprinkler (Sprinkler on Spike), and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. This sprinkler has truly transformed my lawn care routine, making watering both efficient and hassle-free. The gear-driven mechanism ensures even and consistent water distribution across my entire yard, preventing both dry patches and overwatered spots. I appreciate the adjustable spray patterns and the ability to control the distance and coverage area, which allows me to customize the watering to suit different parts of my garden. Installation was a breeze—thanks to the sturdy spike design, it stays securely in place, even with high water pressure. The build quality feels durable, and it has withstood various weather conditions without any issues. Overall, the Orbit 58573N H2O-6 Gear Drive Sprinkler is an excellent investment for anyone looking to maintain a lush, healthy lawn. I highly recommend it to both novice and experienced gardeners alike.

After using the Orbit 58573N H2O-6 Gear Drive Sprinkler for the past three weeks, I can confidently say it’s one of the best sprinklers I’ve ever purchased. In a time when so many products feel cheaply made, this sprinkler stands out for its solid construction and quality materials. It feels like a unit that’s built to last—and I expect it will. The spray settings are incredibly intuitive and easy to adjust, giving you a wide range of flexibility to tailor your watering exactly how you want it. That level of control is a game-changer, especially for those of us who like things just right (fellow OCD folks, you know what I mean). In short, I absolutely love this sprinkler. It performs flawlessly, feels durable, and is easy to use—everything I could ask for in a garden tool. Highly recommended!

I bought 4 of these and for the most part, they work really well. Setup is very simple, and I like that you can easily adjust both the type of watering and the distance. A nice bonus is that they allow for daisy chaining—I have 3 linked in a row, and that setup works great for covering a larger area. The only downside is that 1 of mine went bad after about 2 months. It still works but doesn’t always rotate correctly. When first turned on, it will do a full rotation, but then it sometimes gets stuck at one end and stops oscillating. A bit frustrating, but the other 3 are still going strong. Overall, for the price, I’d still recommend these. They cover well, are easy to install, and have solid watering capacity. Just keep in mind that durability might be hit or miss.

Love these orbit sprinklers. The metal spikes are strong and don't bend like some others I've tried. They sometimes get a bit sticky on their rotation but that's usually because I moved it and pushed on the head. If you find that happens, just tap the head and it will keep spinning. I had some tripods for other brands and was surprised to find that I could just unspin them and these mounted in perfectly after removing the stake. Great design, super functional and sprays better than most. You can turn the main assembly to change spray types and then the very top piece also spins and lets you set the spray pattern. Smart engineers. I have 8 of these for our 1/4 acre yard and they are my go to from here on out!

This thing gets the job done!!

Worked great for a while and easy to adjust. However, it started leaking badly after about a year of use.

First, the Bad news: I’ve used these in the past and they always worked and are fantastic, BUT, unfortunately I received one that had an internal gearing problem in the base so it wouldn’t work correctly. The top sprayed fine and could be changed to any of the settings. Save the Good news for last: As I mentioned, I’ve found these sprinklers to be excellent, even though some would choose knockoffs because they’re slightly cheaper and obviously inferior versions/ brands. Please don’t do it! The American Orbit ones are superior and well worth the expense. Unfortunately I didn’t discover that 1 of the 4 didn’t work correctly until AFTER the Amazon return window closed. Oh boy… What now? Call them and they proved why it’s the best to buy from American companies… I called Orbit and they were excellent, just like their products, to help assess the issue. I’ve only had the sprinklers for 1 1/2 months and they immediately provided a warranty code and an immediate replacement! Conclusion: Don’t hesitate, buy this or another Orbit product. YOU WON’T be disappointed!! Not only do I use these sprinklers because the different settings that give great coverage, but FYI, I’m thrilled with the B-hyve WiFi 4 hose/sprinkler distribution unit. Game changing! Cheers!

The sprinkler is easy to set up and has different settings which I like. But one leaks causing some flooding in the area where I stick it in. And one of my sprinkler stake broke when pushing it down. But otherwise I like it.
