How does this compare with the less expensive, RAINWAVE Turbo Gear Oscillating Sprinkler Set with Timer, Cover Up to 3700 Square Feet?

The bottom line is going to be water pressure. I use it with a booster pump

Can't comment on the other model, but we're very happy with our Gardena sprinkler. It is very precise with its settings (narrow / wide), thereby, the most efficient sprinkler we've ever owned. Reliable (made in Germany, NOT China). Interchanges beautifully with other Gardena products that we have (hose reel, spray nozzle and connectors).

That is the RD 6. There nay have been slight model changes from time to time prompting the number changes. There are a few differences among the various models. One is for mounting outside which means it has a little more weather proofing. One can be operated remotely. Again, I think this is a remarkably dependable unit that combines flexibility and ease of programming. I have used several different brands and styles of sprinkler controls over the past 15 years and this is a superior product.

It covers 5000 sq. ft. I apply in the spring and it really works on my crabgrass.

Probably not the most efficient use of this sprinkler. It's better for larger area coverage. I would recommend a circular oscillating sprinkler and control the coverage with water pressure.

I have used this sprinkler for about two months and find the spray adjustments to be pretty much the same- no better, no less - as any other top brand of impact sprinkler. The feature that distinguishes this sprinkler is the tripod which elevates the sprinkler without having to rig up a pole or some other device to get a larger radius.

Not sure about that, but I was very disappointed in Melnor -- just could not get the unit to work properly and their tech support was basically indifferent. I just returned it, gave up and used another timer system which my sprinkler guy installed.

It mimics rain not a hard rain like some sprinklers. Plus, it is fully adjustable to soften it up and adjust the distance it sprays.

It depends on city or well water and pressure but covers more area with less problems then previous sprinklers I've had and I'm on well water , I bought the first one 3 years ago and it worked so well I bought 2 more which I use along with the first one to speed up watering my gardens.

Any timer would work being the irrigation kit is only the piping,stakes,sprinkler heads.

According to the Scott's website it covers 5,000 sq. ft. (http://www.scotts.com/smg/goprod/halts-crabgrass-preventer/prod90026/)It's a great product.

The bin is almost as big as the top. It fills the whole top& tapers a little 2 the bottom. About 6 inches deep. Not big enough for an oscilating sprinkler but can put in several handheld ones&other; garden tools

I guess it depends on how small your yard is. I've got a large yard, but am using this sprinkler to water only a 25x50 foot rectangular seedbed. With the sprinkler in the middle of this area, I've got it adjusted so the spray distance varies from about 13 to 25 feet. I think it could service an even smaller area if I turned down the water flow. If your yard is smaller, and is not very irregular in shape, you might want to use a small oscillating sprinkler. Keep in mind that impulse sprayers, like this Gilmour, are designed to shoot water fairly long distances because they aim in one direction at a time. The oscillating sprinklers provide more even coverage for smaller areas.

The absolute best tower that I have found is $56 Yard Butler TSS-36 Tripod Sprinkler StandSold by Amazon.com LLC . Put a rain bird head on that and it is FANTASTIC. Best I have ever seen. Don't know about RainShower at all. Good Luck

I looked at the brochure that came with the diffuser, it does not make a claim re square foot coverage. I enjoy the diffuser, it seems to cover about 10 x 15 sqft. It is fairly quiet and last 4-5 hours. Hope this helps.

I actually just purchased the 799 - haven;t received it yet. I believe the only difference is that the 799 is waterproof - so it can be used in the shower or washed off in the sink. I got it at BB&B; for $199 + tax - so the price of the 799 is comparable to the 790!

A timer doesn't work so well. Unless you manually bleed the system, there is still one spritz left in the sprinkler after the timer goes off.
