An Engineer's approach
There is certainly a lot in the kit for the price you pay. It's cheap, but it works for the most part.First, I want to address some of the common complaints:1) "It blows the connections". This is because your PRESSURE is too high! Volume flowrate and pressure are not the same. Just because you are closing off the spigot valve most of the way does not mean you are dropping the pressure. You need to install a pressure regulator to drop the incoming pressure or make sure the emitters are open enough. You also need to make sure that each hose is connected completely over the barbed end. It's a pain, but it's necessary.2) "No flow after X emitters". Only plan to have about 5 emitters in a row. If you need more than that, create a "Y" connection at the start and branch off to have two separate lines of 5 emitters. You can also tighten the nozzles on the early emitters to allow more water to reach the end of the line.The main reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because two of the gray atomizers cracked when I pushed them all the way on to the fitting. Lesson learned: don't push the gray atomizers all the way on to the fitting. I left a gap of 1-2mm on the rest of them.Some other advice:- Use multiple emitters per plant if you have sandy soil like I do because the water won't spread out much over the root system- Heat up the ends of the hoses or use thick gloves and twist them on to the barbed fittings. Even so, I still got blisters on my fingers from making all the connections.- Depending on how many lines or runs you have, split it up by the # of gallons needed per line as evenly as possible. I have 4 runs that each require about 2 gallons per watering. There is still some adjustment possible by tightening the emitter nozzles.- If it's 100 degrees outside while trying to install, measure the length of runs that you need, write it down, and pre-assemble everything inside.It was a lot of work and I think next year I'm just going to invest in a good, long, soaker hose...

EASILY installed! Makes life easier!
Easily assembled.It only took me about 4 hours to create a meticulously targeted watering system in my mom's garden.I expected everything to blow apart when we turned the water all the way up...It surprisingly held tight!I AM going to use my zip tie gun to zip tie all of the connections to be safe, but it is great!My mom's HOA last year decided that their sprinkler system would be run every 3 or 4 DAYS during the hottest weather.Now, when they pull that garbage, all my mom has to do is walk outside, turn on the faucet go back in, then turn it off in 30 minutes!

Excellent!
This has been a lifesaver as I am disabled but still need to have a large garden. I was able to put in a drip irrigation system that covers 3 separate garden areas in just a few hours! It now allows me to do most of my watering without having to drag out and move heavy hoses across the yard. I would highly recommend this kit to any gardener.

good kit could come with more zip ties
i've been using this kit for a little over a month to water my vegetables in my raised garden bed, every other day. the kit was easy to use. i know the water pressure at my spigot is about 55psi so it's not high. the kit doesn't come with a lot of zip ties but i had some one hand and i zip-tied all the connections to make sure they're solid. i haven't had any leaks and adjusting the drip heads was easy. great kit for the price.

Great kit
Great kit! I already had a timer and went with a reviewers recommendation to get a pressure regulator. Couldn’t be happier with the results! A reliable and discrete auto irrigation system.
