Really fussy
The Noodlehead worked fine, up to a point. The sprays from each Noodle went up to about eight feet away. Each Noodle doesn’t really spray a lot of water, so be prepared to point three to six noodles at one spot if you want to really cover a specific area.
I also found bending the noodles to be vey fussy and time-consuming. Often the Noodles bent back up over time and had to be repositioned. I finally gave up and got a traditional oscillating sprinker. That worked pretty well, and didn’t have to be readjusted.
My bottom line: it’s a fussy novelty that might be perfect for some folks, but I won’t be buying more than the one I tried.
Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Unique Problem Solver
This sprinkler has a problem, I have had for years - how to solve the narrow strip next to the entrance of water. I can now waste water strangely shaped small areas without water.

Noodling Along!
I had seen this product offered in gardening catalogs for a couple of years and finally decided this was the time to try out this unique sprinkler. And I am thrilled that I did.
We have all heard that good things come in small packages..and this is proof of this adage. You can water fairly large areas by spreading out the ‘noodles’ and then adjusting the water output to the desired flow. The same is true when watering smaller and odd shaped areas. The ‘noodles’ are quite flexible and easy to adjust.
The Noodlehead comes with a lawn spike to ensure it stays where put and does not tip over. This is probably my only complaint..the unit itself is lighter than I expected and is difficult to place without the spike.
If you have odd shaped areas to water, this is the answer you have been looking for. If you wish to water ordinary flat lawn areas, you are better off with another more traditional sprinkler.
