WI would like to express my gratitude for creating such an exceptional device. It brings me immense satisfaction to use it daily. The customer service is truly remarkable, with prompt responses and quick replacement if needed. Wishing continued success to OTO. Thank you for your professionalism.
They work great. And the phone software is impeccable. So clear and user friendly. Thanks Oto!
I kept my eye on the OtO system for a couple years before purchasing. I have a rental property 10 hours away that needed a solution for watering the lawn. I was able to place one in the back yard and one in the front yard to cover the entire lawn. The setup was straightforward and took about 20 min. per unit (then I played with it for another 30 😁). Great peace of mind. I hope they hold up well over the years.
A few minor complaints and improvements I have are:
1) The mounting feet that connect to the bracket are almost impossible to get back out (removed unit for the winter). One of them took so much force that when it finally released, the unit tumbled from 2'. Luckily, nothing broke (that I can tell).
2) They are shipped with no charge on the battery. For me, because I traveled to install these, put me in a crunch to get them charged overnight then get them installed before I had to leave again.
3) I wish there was a way to trigger watering sequences automatically in the app. I have a "Lawn" and "Bushes" cycle for each unit. I wish there was a way to have the unit start with "Lawn" them just roll straight to "Bushes" without having to set a specific schedule for each.
Overall, I hope these units run for many years to come. They are fantastic so far.
Love my three OtO. Eay to setup and per advertising only waters the lawn. Highly recommend and my son in-law is a OtO owner now.
I recently moved to a house with an awful lawn with fleas and mosquitoes everywhere but using OtO solved all my issues with ease. I will be purchasing two more for my side and back lawns!
There was an issue with one of my first units. OTO stepped right up and made it good. These units are great as well as the support of them.
I set the boundaries this spring. It waters perfectly. You can decide how much to water and when ...app has presets, honestly, it's one of the best designed product and app I have ever seen. The app can even
winterize the product...just think about the options it gives you. Cudos! I hope it works next spring. Reviewed from Canada!
The plants on the porch have grown better in the 3 months we've had the unit with the fertilizer than in the past 2 years.
I love the OtO device and how effortless it is to care for my new lawn. As a new homeowner with all the responsibility that comes with that, not having to worry about watering the lawn is such a timesaver.
These are great! I was able to get my lawn green with very little effort. The only minor thing is that if your pressure varies, the max distance changes. So you need to set everything up when the pressure is lowest to make sure you have coverage. Don’t expect the max.
This device is incredible! I just wish I could put it in places on my property where there is no WiFi.
I think It's about time for a revolution in this space. It makes sense to me. I love it so far!
The Oto is fantastic and easy to set up. After using the one for the front yard we ordered one for the back. The Lawn food is really keeping the lawn green. I only wish they had a pause on the subscriptions for those of us that have 4 months of cold weather.
I can say the mosquito issue was basically nonexistent after just one treatment yet following the application guidelines from Oto’s support team, I didn’t see any impact to my pollinator population!
The device works great and the support service is excellent.
At first I was skeptical, the moment I learnt how to program it, everything was great
Pros
- As advertised
- Range is very good
- Even coverage
Cons
- Wi Fi need makes it difficult if you have a remote plant and you have the device farther from home
- You can’t schedule multiple times throughout the day but only daily (I assume this has to do with the battery capacity so I have it connected to charger and I remotely start it through the app but I have to remind myself. Not a big deal to me and the areas I seeded are successful)
- can’t daisy chain to another device (you need to water sources or faucet splitter)
The customer service is superb, they stay on top of things and are very helpful.
I was rather skeptical when we purchased but wanted an alternative to 3-4 sprinklers set on timers throughout our lawn. Works as advertised. Easy set up. Only thing I dislike is that it waters with a stream as opposed to a sprinkler so grass can get matted down where you’re growing new grass etc. There’s no fix to that and it’s no reason not to buy.
It just works! Love the updates in the app allowing zone adjustments and motion notifications. The solar keeps both of our devices charged for front and back yard zones. Satisfied after over 2 years of use. Excellent tech/product support for the 2 year warranty as well!
Not only does this save me the time and effort it normally takes to maintain my gardens, it also saved me from installing an underground sprinkler system!
I love the smart watering feature, which saves water by not watering your gardens if it has rained recently!
Highly recommend, may get another one!
