    The only drawback is that although it does adjust to local weather conditions, it tends to water a little more than is necessary and has to be adjusted accordingly. It is easy, however to make the adjustments

    Sprinkler Game Changer

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Rachio line models 1 and 2 of sprinkler controllers are amazing. But the model 3 is a game changer over all other sprinkler controllers. It's customization is almost endless, and the built in weather app can detect weather and know when not to water the lawn because it's raining is just awesome. Now the Rachio 3 offers water usage monitoring with the purchase of the water flow meter, it can actually tell you how much water in gallons you are using in all your zones or any one zone in particular. As I said, it's a game changer.

    They don’t tell you that there are tons of additional components to buy in order to get it to do everything they do tell you it does. It goes off line and I don’t get a notification. Frequently, it won’t run on a scheduled time or certain zones will run for a shorter period, yet I won’t get notification as to why (was it a weather skip, was it offline, etc.). And there are many settings that you need to know technical information in order to know how to set up, yet they don’t give descriptions/definitions. This means I’ve paid $300 for it to have all of these features that I either don’t have access to or I don’t know how to set. Which means it’s programmed to function like a basic one

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hey there,
      Thanks for your review. I'm not sure what you meant about having to buy separate items in order for the Rachio to work, but we would love to discuss the details so we can clarify any concerns you might have about the product. Can you write us an email to support @ rachio . com?
      Thank you,

    I got this for Father's Day, what a cool little device. I set up the zones, took pictures of each and told it the kind of soil, amount of exposure, the grade and it did the rest. I can run a zone whenever from wherever I want right from my phone. It talks to local weather stations so if it rains or is going to rain, it knows and adjusts the schedule accordingly. We've already saved money on the water bill and we got a rebate from our local water company, highly recommend this one.
