Orbit 10198 Outdoor Misting Sidewinder 1/4-Inch Flexible Mist Stand (Colors My Vary)

Delivered July 27 & is still working at this time. Delivery was fast.This is the 2nd mister like this I've ever had and as I recall this one is around 3 times the price of the 1st one that I probably got at Walmart many years ago.It is small and more of a personal mister which is what I use it for. It works well if outside and you live in a low humidity climate. It uses very little water (I barely crack open the hose bib) and the mist is so fine that it doesn't accumulate in a puddle underneath it. I've yet to have any plugging issues & if I do I plan to clean it out with a pin or a needle. The hose connection at the bottom is plastic. As I recall that may have been the demise of my 1st one. After a year or two in the sun, the plastic degraded and became useless. For now, though, this one is exactly what I wanted.

Was very hard to keep my chickens comfortable in those 105-107 degrees temps we had in Texas. This was a perfect way to keep my animals cool. They love walking under and getting a little misting. I did not lose any chickens during the extreme heat we had, and I think it was because of this mister. So I am grateful. It was very easy to use, and worked well. The price was great for what I got. When summer is over it will be easy to store until next year.

Way too small to be of value to me. Listing states 30" and will go around trees. If it were stretched to 30" it wouldn't go around a toothpick and it certainly won't go around any trees of mine. Photo shows relative size, I wear a size medium glove. Returning it.

Works great other than the dripping at the connection. I'm going to get a better hose washer and see how it goes.

I bought this for my chicken run. The amount of water that came out of it was perfect. It kept the ground damp but not wet and gave off a fine, cool, mist (despite the fact that the water in the hose was REALLY hot). I loved that it bent and placed it in several different locations until I finally found the ideal spot. The chickens liked it. Looking back, the area that it covered was a little small, but I wasn't expecting it to cover a large area. All was going well for about 4 days and then.......it stopped misting.We have really hard water, and I assumed it was from the tiny tube getting clogged. I soaked it in CLR and it worked for half of the next day, but then it stopped again. We just get a steady drip from it now. I soaked it in CLR a second time. Because of the air pressure in the line, it is impossible to get the CLR INSIDE the line. Soaking only the outside nozzle didn't change anything. After less than a week, we are gonna have to throw it away.I don't know for sure if the hard water had anything to do with it not working. We bought a water filter for the hose just in case. I don't think we will purchase another one though. I'm gonna go with something a little larger for my 10x10 chicken run. All in all it was a great little unit. I just wish it had lasted longer.

I purchased this to provide mist for my chickens during warm weather to help keep them cool. There is a filter at the end that connects to the hose that helps prevent the sprayer from clogging. The filter is easy to clean if needed.

Very tiny and I guess good for the price I paid. Good mister for 1 person

This is a lifesaver. I live where it’s at least 102 pretty much every day May thru September. Got this so we could somewhat comfortably sit outside on our back patio and have a drink, cigar, etc. This little sidewinder is awesome. It’s not a large system for a big patio like they have at restaurants. We have a fan that sits on the floor and this is easily shaped to fit around the handle. When the fan is angled right, we cool down up to around 6 adults. Cools down our area quite a bit. Although when it’s 107, you can only get so cool. If you’ve never had a mister, be aware, you will be wet. Not sopping, but moist. Just know that when you have company over it produces a tiny mist that gets on clothing, water spots on glasses and so forth. Some people really aren’t familiar with them. Also, keep your cigars out of direct spray (oops’) It’s easily bendable to accommodate most any area. These are also used around my town, I’ve noticed, for the adults to sit and drink beer under while the kids play on a slip n slide. I’ll be buying a second one soon because Texas is hot!
