- Raintrain Traveling Fun
- I have a U-shaped backyard on a golf course. It was impossible to water in fewer than three separate sprinkler setups. The Raintrain solved my problems. One setup and off we go. The only problem I have encountered is that I have to redirect the sprinkler heads to cover a narrower area for the final 50 feet. I just wish I had purchased one of these sooner.

- Terrific and easy to use
- My husband loves the rain train. It waters our yard so well, and we live in Houston, TX, so it gets hot here, and we have lots of yard and landscaping. The rain train is easy to use, and we still have a 20 year old rain train from his parents that won't stop. This is a high quality product.

- VERY UPSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- I purchased this unit and payed the hefty one day expidite fee. When it arrived I was very excited until I opened the box and discovered the threaded coupling that holds the sprinkler arm on was missing. I called Nelson as instructed by the insert in the box and they told me it would take 2 weeks to get the part. I asked for a supervisor hoping she'd understand that I paid extra and needed this quickly. With NO apologies or sympathies offered for costing me extra or for the inconvience, she cooly said 2 weeks was the best they could do because they were so backed up. I guess with that type of business, losing one customer like me doesn't matter to them, so beware if you need replacment parts or your order arrives with missing parts!
I am upset and disappointed with Nelson! - 2008-07-10, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Toot toot, Raintrain!
- I've had a couple of "hose jumping" incidents but otherwise works as advertised. I think it would be best for flat lawns with easy curves for the machine to negotiate. I wouldn't suggest leaving the device totally unattended until you know your set up works. Even then, I'd keep an occasional eye on it. This sprinkler really does save time by moving itself and does motor along like a little tractor!

- Sprinkler review
- I have only used the LR Nelson Raintrain Travel Sprinkler once, but I was very pleased with its performance. It was easy to assemble, the directions were clear and it lived up to my expectations. It covers a large amount of territory and does a good job of watering as it goes. I may purchase another one for my back yard.
