    Best product for irrigation system. Once it setup it dose the job by itself. Report the usage and email all the notifications per setup.

    Either I've had 2 lemons, or something about their quality control needs work! I'm going on my 2nd replacement from Rachio since last year. It works great until it doesn't. I can't really recommend something that lasts less than a year. Give us a 10 years warranty and some quality control because if this next one dies I'm out of warranty and my money.

    Gets a little overzealous with the rain skips, but I mostly wanted it to control from my phone anyway.

    I'm happy everyone seems to love their Rachio. I don't love mine. If you have a lawn and want it to plan your watering, then great. But I don't and wanted to customize the routine. It's really hard. The UI is terrible for doing anything non-custom and as a result I've had several plants die in my yard from lack of water.

    Not very smart

    Great to control the schedule manually, but don't trust "flex daily" feature that leaves it up to Rachio as to where and when and how long to water. Even with all the parameters calibrated, consistently underwatered the lawn.

    Not as easy to use as promised. The menus are difficult to use if you want to have any manual control. I email Rachio questions but never heard back from them. I am very capable with technology but would not recommend this product.
