Gardena's Aquazoom oscillating sprinkler features triple option controls: width adjusts from 13 to 56 feet, range adjusts from 23 to 60 feet, and water flow can be changed from low to high pressure. The maximum coverage area is 3,760 square feet. The sprinkler has 18 nozzles and a special needle for nozzle cleaning, as well as a metal filter to protect the sprinkler from dirt. Gardena has fitted the sprinkler with dirt-insensitive turbo-drive gears for even water distribution. One thing to keep in mind with any oscillating sprinkler is that its high-arcing spray can lead to high levels of evaporation and water loss due to wind. Replacement policy. ... Read more

Best Sprinkler I Have Ever Owned
An excited next door neighbor told me of a local store that was selling this Gardena sprinkler. He also told me that "this is the best sprinkler I have ever Owned". I ran out and bought one immediately because I use several sprinklers, which are connected to the water discharge hose of my geo-thermal heat pump/air conditioner 24 hours each day. That was over a year ago. I am now placing an order for the second Gardena sprinkler because it "IS" the best sprinkler "I" have ever owned!

Amazing!
I don't do a lot of overhead watering. The various beds around my yard all have soaker hoses or drip irrigation. That leaves the lawn.

My lot is an odd-sized lot to begin with, and after you toss in the house, the driveway, paths, patios, trees and beds, what's left is very oddly shapped. I thought about installing an underground system with many little heads all designed to fit in the little nooks and cranies, but I really don't water the lawn often enough to make it worth it.

On the other hand, I've gone through a lot of different sprinklers. I've had the cheap "dial-a-pattern" type. I've had the red square thing. I've had the rotating spray type. And I've had more than one oscillating sprinkler. The oscillators tended to breakdown the fastest, and that's why I was hessitating spending so much money on another one.

But this one is different. The design and constrution are such that I don't anticipate it locking-up as the typical oscillating sprinkler does. It also has more controls than you can imagine. You can adjust the width, height, and angle. And you can turn-off the water before it rains down on you! All your adjustments can be made at the sprikler without having to adjust the flow at the faucet.

The biggest obstical Gardena must be facing is convincing people to spend so much on a oscillating sprinkler. But I have to say that while I had my doubts, I think it's a great investment.

A high quality sprinkler
This sprinkler covers a fairly large area, is easily adjusted for width and range, and is well built. I've used one for a few seasons, and am ordering another. It does not leak, and has never clogged. It also has a very stable sled base.

It's especially useful for watering long, narrow side lots, or a row of planting beds. It's about two or three times the price of most oscillating sprinklers you'll find at the home center, but you get what you pay for. Gardena makes very high quality sprinklers.

The best sprinkler ever made
This is the best sprinkler made. I'm going to buy one of these for each of our family members for Christmas. They will enjoying using this product and it's dependable,too. It is the best. Thank You, VP

We had a Gardena Aquazoom 350/t... It is far above other sprinklers we have had in the past... My wife ran over ours a couple of days ago...With out a doubt we will be buying a Gardena 31977-6 Aquazoom.. Thanks for a great product... ... Read more

This innovative oscillating sprinkler design can water medium-to-large yards, is fully adjustable, and comes with a built-in timer and flow control mechanisms. While many oscillating sprinklers allow you to adjust the range of the spray, this one also provides adjustments for controlling the width and the water flow. At the highest water pressure (56 psi), the width can be adjusted from 13 to 56 feet and the range from 23 to 69 feet. At low water pressure (28 psi), the width can be set from 11-1/2 to 47-1/2 feet and the range from 19-1/2 to 56.7 feet. The timer allows you to select watering times from 15 to 120 minutes, or it can be bypassed for constant flow. Gardena includes its Quick Connector hose adapter for easy time-saving hose changes and a special needle for keeping spray nozzles clean. The Aquazoom provides all the versatility and design features you could ask for in an oscillating sprinkler. ... Read more

Aqua Zoom 350 Best I'ver EVER used
First one I purchased is on it's 3rd year with no problems. Any other sprinkler I've ever had lasts about one season & either the holes clog or it stops the back & forth movement.
Aqua Zoom 350 has a reliable timer (saving on my ever increasing water bill) and more settings so I can focus on what I want to water- less running down the ditches.
Have recently purchased another one .. only because I have a really big yard.

best sprinkler I have ever used.
I have been looking for this sprinkler all my life - one that really works. We have iron in our water and, in fact, this is the 3rd year this sprinkler is still going strong. Great features: ease of use to set up sprinkling pattern, also small half-dials both sides of sprinkler to monitor sprinkle width. It had gotten clogged this summer, took off hose and pulled out debris which had stayed directly in front in-reach. Sprinkling holes never get clogged. I want another! I found it!

Broken and can't find repalcement parts
I loved the item when I received it as a father's day gift. When I was ill a young man mowing my lawn broke the connector (a Beige piece right by the timer) that connects the sprinkler to the hose. I would like to replace the broken part but I have none of the information that came with the product. I am not only interested in replacing the part but if I can find a way to maintain the product I would be interested in purchasing another. I also cannot find a retailer who carries the product in my area.

fragile
I loved this sprinkler while it worked. It is extremely adjustable. The problem is that the connection breaks off the timer and renders the thing useless. Enjoy but be very gentle.

Great sprinkler, when it works.
I bought one of these units and really liked it when I started using it. Set it all up and went away thinking all would be well until the timer expired. However, looking out the window a half hour later, the unit was stuck at one end. I went out and nudged it and it started again. Stuck again within 5 minutes. I've repeated this several times including adjusting the fan and the rake. Keeps getting stuck. I then bought one of those faucet pressure meters and I have about 55 pounds so pressure is not the problem.

Now it sits and looks good. Too bad cause it was great while it lasted. About 5 minutes that is. ... Read more

Do you need to water your lawn or garden but don't want to be bothered with running out to shut off the sprinkler system? This Gardena water timer may be just the solution you've been seeking. The small timer attaches directly to your outdoor spigot and operates similar to a conventional kitchen timer. Simply turn the dial face to the number of minutes you want your sprinkler running, and, when the time has elapsed, your system will be shut off automatically, saving you trouble and preventing the mess and damage caused by puddles. The unit also contains a quick connector that attaches to your hose and allows it to be easily and quickly joined to the timer without a lot of twisting. ... Read more

Great way to water
I just love this timer. It's the only manual timer I've found that actually works, and using it to water my large garden with soaker hoses is the ideal way to keep everything from getting thirsty while conserving water at the same time and watering in the best way for plants to boot!!!

I've tried several timers, and this one is the best. I won't buy anything else!

Finally one that keeps working
I live in the country and have a water well. I live in a sandy area and my well puts out a sand residue. This has froze up all previous timers I have purchased. Since this one works off a spring it has not failed me yet. I water about 20,000 sq feet. I can finally set my timer and not come back or wack up and find that the timer has frozen up and watered all day or night!!!!! Now if only I can could find a sprinkler that would last as long.

Worth every penny!
Did you ever turn the hose on to water the lawn and have it stay on all night because you forgot to turn it off? Never again with this great accessory.

New Version Not so Great...
I've been using Gardena water timers(model 31169-4) for years and although there is not much difference in the price there sure is a big difference in the Quality. The really tough older models were manufactured in Germany and the clocks went forever. I ordered some new ones through Amazon and one is already KAPUT! It just doesn't shut off! Before you pay $25 for one of these timers check out other brands...It wouldn't surprise me if Gardena moved its manufacturing to China and this is the result.

A much better water timer.
Some water timers work by measuring the amount of water that has passed through them. The one of that type I previously used suffered from quality problems and does not seem to be available anymore. The Gardena 31169-4 Water Timer is different. It has a mechanical timer that counts minutes. This makes more sense to me as I know how long I want the water to run but have no idea how to translate time to gallons of water. So the first benefit that makes the Gardena water timer better is that it actually measures time. The second benefit is that it shuts off slowly rather than with a sudden jolt. The device I previously used had the jolt shut off method which seemed to put stress on it each time it shut off. In contrast the Gardena shuts off in a civilized manner that slowly reduces the water flow until it stops. A third benefit is that after having been installed, it can be rotated to the best position for viewing the dial. These three benefits demonstrate thoughtful design. In addition to its excellent design, the Gardena exudes the look and feel of quality. It is made of glossy finished plastic that has a reassuringly resilient feel. The parts seem to have been made with precision and the edges are rounded. I knew it was great quality the second I opened the box. A label says "Made in Germany". There are cheeper water timers available, but I get more value from this one and more peace of mind that it will function properly when it is time to shut off. ... Read more

wish i'd found this sooner!
This product works so well and is so easy to use my 5 y.o. son and 88 y.o. grandma can operate it. I just ordered more.

Wonderful Gardena Product!
Love the hose attachments from Gardena. So easy on my wrists and arthritic fingers. They hold up beautifully in the Arizona sun, and unless I accidentally step on a connection, are holding up for many years. Our local hardware store stopped carrying the Gardena attachments and I was so delighted to find them at Amazon.

Watering Made Easy
Anybody who is still walking back to the spigot and twisting the end of a cold dirty hose eveytime they want to move a sprinkler is living in the last century. With the WATERSTOP connection you do not have to turn off the water every time you change attachments or add or delete hose. You can change attachments while while the hose system is fully pressurized while wearing your dress clothing; it is that simple and clean.

About as good as they get!
By far the smoothest and easiest to use of the plastic quick connect fittings. Have tried many others and they don't compare to the Gardenas. Don't know what kind of plastic they use, but the Texas sun doesn't seem to bother it . . . . they just keep on working. You will wonder how you ever got along without these - one for every hose and watering device is a must!

Gardena: Great Idea & Greater Value
Don't worry about the durability of Gardena gear; we have Gardena products around our house that have served us well for over twenty years.

We first saw Gardena at one of our big local hardware stores in 1978. At that time, the Gardena quick-connect stuff was just what we were looking for; the quick couplings on the compressed air system in the garage was so handy to use that we were inspired to try those (expensive!) air fittings with our outdoor water. That's right, rust would have been a big problem!

Fortunately, the store we went to had a big display of the then new (to us) Gardena products and we saw that they were clearly the answer. Back then, Gardena made a very cool car washing brush that attched to the end of the hose with a Gardena connector, but it also took a little pink stick of what turned out to be some of the best car wash soap we've ever used. Water flowing through the hose made suds of the soap stick (shampoo stick, they called it) and did a dandy job on the car or boat, then the soap ran out and you'd rinse the soap out of the brush and off the car without missing a beat.

Gardena has a well conceived product with excellent durability at a good price. Now that we've found a new source for this stuff at amazon.com, the ONLY drawback, in our view, is that Gardena is not an American-made product. ... Read more

Does it seem like you spend more time maintaining and operating your sprinkler system than you spend on your lawn itself? Now you can avoid getting bogged down with daily details and sprinkler scheduling thanks to the Gardena water computer. This handy device attaches directly to your outdoor spigot and gives you complete control of your sprinklers, pop-up sprinklers, and drip-head irrigation systems. Programming the water computer is relatively easy. You simply enter the start time, watering duration, and watering days or cycles; the computer does the rest. Up to six different programs for six separate watering lines can be entered at once to provide watering periods of up to nine hours and 59 minutes. In addition, the program unit can be removed from the computer with the click of a latch, allowing you to do the programming from the comfort of your home before reattaching it to the base. A hose connector is also included for easy coupling without a lot of tedious twisting. The unit uses one 9-volt alkaline battery (not included). It can also be used in conjunction with the Gardena electronic rain sensor or soil moisture sensor. ... Read more

Beautiful New Lawn
I purchased this product in the early Spring to help water a newly seeded lawn which I wanted to water 4 times daily on hot days.

It was very simple to program and the flexibility of the 6 schedules allowed me to grow the best lawn I have ever had. I strongly recommend the product!

Good idea -- weak technology
We have a large heavily shaded yard that requires considerable watering over the summer. We have three of these computers running with multiple water lines feeding out from each. This is a terffic idea if you have a lot of regular watering to do -- and, it really saves you loads of time. Unfortunately, for two of the past three years we've had to replace at least two computers. In fact, we're ordering two water computers today. I just wish they built them to stand up for more than a year or two.

an astonishingly convoluted device
The Gardena Water Computer is an astonishingly convoluted device that performs an otherwise simple task. The programming methods seem to best serve the engineering requirements of Gardena and not typical home gardeners. The English section of the instructions were likely not written by a native English speaker - making deployment of the timer ever more complicated. After several attempts that consumer several precious weekend hours I was finally able to link the computer with a Gardena Rain Sensor and a Gardena Water Distributor. Overall, it simply was not worth my time, and because of Amazon's requirement that a product must be unused to be returned, I have to live with it.

A cost-effective automatic watering system
This is my second Gardena automatic watering system - comprising the Water computer and the water distributor. They are simple to install and program and are really a set-and-forget solution to watering your garden.

Good once you figure out how to program it
This is a very effective timer, once you figure out how to program it. The directions jump around between program functions and manually operating it. It took me a hour or two to get my programs organized, but now I don't even have to think about it. I attached the Gardena water distributor and can water several different areas of the course of the day. Very helpful for someone who travels alot. ... Read more

Best Sprinkler I've ever owned
I'm here after failing to find another Gardena Grande locally. I've own two of these: one I've had for about 13 years (it's pretty much toast, but what do you expect from a plastic sprinkler?), and the other one for about 7 or 8 years. Despite the comments of others, I've found this sprinkler's durability to be one of its best assets. In my experience, if these sprinklers stop oscillating, it's because they've been stepped on - that bends the aluminum tube skids that connect both ends and can pinch the middle part to keep it from oscillating. Carefully straighten them out again, and it should work fine.

I've tried various others, including Melnors and Craftsman sprinklers that cost much more, but this is by far the most versatile and useful sprinkler I've ever owned. There's nothing that rivals the ease and flexibility of Gardena's tab system for adjusting the width of the sweep on the fly - if there was just a way to locally control the flow (and thus the length of the sweep), it would be perfect.

I'm puzzled by several other reviewers that say thiers stoppped oscillating shortly after purchase. Maybe they've changed the design, or maybe I'm just lucky (with sprinklers, anyway...), but I've certainly not treated mine with kid gloves, and they've been working fine for years. Occasional sticking is the reason I need a new one to replace my oldest one, but, heck, the thing has lived 13 years in the Texas sun: The adjusting rings are a pale coral now, and the plastic is starting to flake off all over - it's even outlived two or three Gardena quick-connects and half a dozen o-rings. I've certainly gotten my money's worth - Highly recommended.

Great little sprinkler
I have used one of these little Gardena sprinklers for 15 years and found it reliable and easy to set for the area I wanted to water. It doesn't puddle and leak as so many oscillating sprinklers do. It is easy to set the spray to water small, narrow spaces, such as our 10' wide side yard without over-spray onto our neighbor's car or into our windows. I would recommend it to anyone who wants precise watering without waste.

Excellent Performance - Short Lifetime
The sprinkler performed excellent however stopped functioning three months into service - frustrated I disposed of it.

A disposable sprinkler
I add my disappointment to those others who have complained that the OSCILLATOR quit after a few uses. This happened to me after two or three weeks. I have a Gardena sprinkler that I've had for almost 8 years, so I was a Gardena fan before I bought this one.

The best sprinker - PERIOD!

Gardena rules
Yes, it's very good, nice feel to it, like all Gardena stuff. I've had one go "out of tune" and no amount of fiddling with the works would make it go full volume again. The method of tying down the activation bar with a wire loop isn't as sturdy as it might be. Quibbles, I own one for every faucet. When they converted Eagle Hardware to Lowes they quit carrying Gardena. Just one more reason that every time I visit Lowes I wonder why I bothered.

Very Poor Quality Products
I have made a significant investment over the years in numerous Gardena watering products--sprinklers, shut-off valves, diverters, etc. ALL have failed in the short-term after modest use. In addition, contacts to the company for replacement or customer service have been met with no response. MY BEST ADVICE--stay away from Gardena products. Looks (from other posted comments)like my experience is not unique!

Shoddy, Shoddy
I purchased one at a local hardware store, and had the flimsy plastic end connector snap off the first time it was used. The store gladly exchanged for another one, and the exact same thing happened. For the fewer $$ I went and bought a heavy duty brass Y connector and 2 smaller brass Y connectors and made a much sturdier 4 tap system.

Worked 1 year - but not anymore
Have used Gardena products and swear by them - but all in all what is made of plastic and valves doesn't work forever - but at least a second watering season would be nice. I removed the distributor before winter arrived and then reattached it this spring. This season though ALL outlets provided water as soon as a "load" was applied even though all but one valve were closed. Couldn't 'wiggle' them enough to stop a low pressure constant flow. The kicker was it wasn't when the water was turned on. But only after ONE or more valves were opened and the water was free flowing through the hose line attached. If I shut off the flow at the end of the hose line with a sprayer - all is well...but just start to water (thus relieving pressure) and the other 2 or 3 would start to flow also? Again - I have 2 of these distributors. Both worked great season 1 - but only 1 is working season 2. I've contacted the manufacturer but heard nothing thus far (42 days). Others have written positive reviews on Gardena's customer service. Thus far I cannot say that is true.

Finally, four hoses in one!
I previously had purchased Y-connectors for my faucets, which only allowed me to connect two hoses at once. When I saw the Gardena Four-Way Distributor, I was skeptical about it, but it works wonderfully. It is very easy to use. Simply turn the knob above each hose to let the water flow through. When the knob is in the vertical position, the water is off. There is no guessing if you left the water running! The Four-Way Distributor works beautifully with the Gardena Timer. I am using the system with sprinklers, misters, and irrigation soaker hoses. If you have more than 4 hoses to connect, its a breeze to switch them out with the quick connectors. Despite its complex appearance, it is very simple to use. Its a great addition to any garden.

I have used this Gardena product extensively. I first purchased it for my home in the San Francisco Bay area and once again at our new location on the Gulf Coast. This item is so convenient particularly if you have just one or two faucet outlets around your home. With this product, you can quickly connect up to four different watering mediums and adding the Gardena automatic timer, set watering patterns for each garden/lawn area utilizing drip irrigation connectors, soaker hoses, sprinklers, etc. The quick connect/release feature is excellent.

Best sprinkler I've ever had!
Living in Texas is testament to tough weather conditions. Sprinklers don't hold up well under intense heat and the soil is extremely hard in areas such as mine.

These Gardena sprinklers have held up better than any I've owned. They survive the heat. They survive the cold. I have left mine outside year round and they have not fallen apart like so many other brands of sprinklers I've owned.

I especially like the gear driven mechanism. It performs smoothly, does not stall under windy conditions and is very easy to adjust. I owned another brand that broke immediately when I accidently turned the adjustment knobs the wrong way. Unlike a pulsing sprinkler, the smooth stream of water is less likely to dissipate in windy conditions. Another great feature is the sprinkler will operate under lower water pressure conditions which makes it easy to water small areas.

The only thing I've found that has ended the life of my sprinklers is the lawn care folks leave them on the driveway. They do not hold up to be driven over. But I'm buying more and alerting the lawn care people they'll be buying replacements if it happens again! ... Read more

Gardena flow control nozzle
I've been using these hose nozzles for almost 10 years and I really like them. They work well and have great "feel" but, unfortunately, they're somewhat fragile. Figure on replacing it annually, maybe once every 2 years if you're REALLY careful. One drop onto concrete from waist height and it'll break. Leave the water on 24/7 and the pressure will crack the body. Still, they're light and the plastic body means less potential for paint damage when washing your car. Despite the fragile factor I keep buying these because I haven't found a nozzle I like better.

Gardena Products convenient and reliable
I have used Gardena Products for years and love them. They are convenient and reliable. This nozzle is another great example.

But the 4 pound shipping weight on this item is rediculous. Including shipping materials the shipping weight is no more than a half pound.

Breaks During Real Use
I like the Gardena interconnect system and was initially pleased with this nozzle also. After about 6 months use...I dropped the thing....a large crack came across the body of it and it was no longer useable. I think dropping this on the ground is a design requirement. Since then I've purchared a metal nozzle from another vendor with 7 spray options and a lower price!

Okay nozzle
This nozzle is okay, but the knob to hold the position of the handle doesn't work that well. There should be more choices on the head as well since this product is high-priced. If you want a nozzle like this, buy a similar product made by Nelson (also sold here at amazon). ... Read more

A great tool for the resource-wise, Melnor's three-cycle electronic timer regulates watering so that your time, money, and water are better spent. Designed for use with low-pressure drip or soaker hoses, the timer offers hourly settings (once every 8, 12, or 24 hours) or daily settings (once every two, three, or seven days). Programming on the tool is simple--a combination of lighted prompts and a dial with tangible clicks. The unit runs on a 9-volt battery that lasts a full watering season with average use. A gentle shutoff mechanism keeps pipes from banging, while a battery-indicator triggers a flashing light when power's low. Ideal for daily use, the timer's also great for keeping the garden green while you travel. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

Works if you know how to make it work
This timer works great - the hard part was figuring out how to program it. It took awhile to figure it out - it is not at all intuitive - but finally got it going. And it has worked great with my drip irrigation system for my hanging plants. I waste much less water than watering by hand and don't have to hand-water every day.

Works like a champ for me!
Having owned other timers that did not work, this one has done the job for me. I use two of them for drip irrigation and watering potted plants during the March to September growing season. The timer is easy to program. It can be temporarily bypassed or turned off without changing the timer settings. I change the batteries in the Spring and that's it!

Wow, with all the trouble....
With all the trouble everyone else is reporting, I've owned mine for three years and never had a problem with it (except that it likes batteries... it gets a new one about every two months). Mine works great... sorry everyone else is having trouble.

Do NOT Buy the Melnor 3015 Timer
I purchased two of these units from Home Depot a couple of days ago. Considering appearance, features and ease of programming, the unit seemed the ideal choice. After trying for over two hours to get them to work, I was unsuccessful. I finally went online to seek help and discovered that my experience is not unique. Do not waste your time on this product.

Arrgghhhh, why do companies sell products that don't work!
I have 4 of these and two have already broken. I bought them hoping they would be better than Melnor's previous model (bigger, rectangular looking green thing) which all four broke within a year.

NOTE, I take very good care of all of my tools. Change batteries, bring in during the winter, etc. This is a quality problem, not a user problem.

I have lost plants and wasted a ton of time messing with these things, changing batteries, looking for receipts, etc.

MELNOR, shame on you. This is irresponsible and you should recall and apologize for not doing your job (testing a product).

Diligent pruning maximizes the growth and health of trees and bushes. Gardena provides the ideal tool for this crucial yard task with its geared, bypass lopper. It cuts branches powerfully while keeping users comfortable with an ergonomically-correct design. Gear transmissions help reduce arm and wrist strain by requiring 20 percent less physical effort than other loppers--even when trimming the toughest branches.

A nonstick coating allows the double-edged blades of the lopper to slice smoothly through branches up to 1-5/8 inches in diameter. The two aluminum arms weigh little, allowing lopper users to easily snip high-hanging limbs. Soft-cushioned handles with buffers provide a comfortable and protective grip. Gardena offers a lifetime warranty to fix or replace deficient products. The lopper measures 30-1/2 inches long. --Jessica Reuling ... Read more

Superb
The person who posted a review December 5, 2002 obviously knows nothing about scissors. I wonder if these were the ones that he/she bought?
These are the ultimate kitchen scissors - nothing to touch them in the price range. They will cut anything and stay sharp.
I've used a pair for the last 10 years - and have just bought 2 more.

WORLD'S BEST ALL PURPOSE SCISSORS
Top quality. All metal, not plastic. Wonderful for veggies, flowers, paper, mending, everything. I am buying more for myself for convenience and also for gifts. The best I have ever owned or used. Very comfortable to use left or right handed. Easy to locate because of bright blue handle.

ordinary scissors
I bought these scissors and paid ten bucks for an ordinary pair of scissors. Do yourself a favor go find some scissors for 4 or 5 bucks and save yourself the money.

It's versatility is it's strength...
You think you can cut anything with the scissors you've already got, right? Well, no, not until you experience these scissors! You know how sometimes your scissors kind of cross-over the wrong way when cutting something too hard or slippery in texture? These will not do that! I was so satisfied with these, I've bought two. But I'm telling you, you will want and need one in every room of the house, and the patio, and the garage. I live in a one bedroom apt. and I've got a pair for my computer work station & one for the bedroom. But I'm getting another one for the kitchen! ... Read more

Excellent quality and design, sometimes brittle.
How can I say both things? Easy. The fit, finish and quality of these plastic pieces is typical Gardena. I have several Gardena pieces. But they are PLASTIC. I have broken a couple of these due to putting too much stress on the connection. Mostly my fault but probably wouldn't have happened with brass. I think it would be great if Gardena would offer a higher end set with brass connections.

Amazon.com Review

Gardena's turbo-drive sprinkler can help you accomplish the daunting task of watering a large lawn. This sprinkler can manage lawns or gardens from 850 to 4,850 square feet, ranging from a narrow slice to a full circle of coverage. The sprinkler has silent operation, denying you that nostalgic tick-tick-tick summer sound but allowing your neighbors to sleep through your early morning sprinkling sessions. In addition, Gardena has designed this sprinkler to water in two stages: first, a short-range gentle watering, then a longer-range spray, providing complete coverage both near and far. The sprinkler can perform down to lower water pressures: Gardena recommends a minimum of 14 psi. The sprinkler is designed for use either alone or as part of a series. Limited warranty. ...

Great sprinkler for awhile
This sprinkler would easily be a 5 if it were built better. The only metal component is the spike itself, all other parts are plastic. I have hard soil in parts of my yard that make it difficult to sink the spike deep enough for proper performance. This sprinkler did not last a full season without cracking at the point where the spike and plastic meet due to the force required to bury the spike and the weak plastic neck. An overwhelming positive attribute - It is incredibly nice to be able to water in peace and quiet. I will reluctantly keep buying them for that reason alone.

Sprinkler Critique
I need to divide this review into two parts-one for delivery and delivery condition. One for actual performance of sprinkler.

First, I ordered two sprinklers at the same time and received two separate shipments a couple of days apart. The second shipment contained a deeffective sprinkler: one of the plastic adjusting rings was cracked. I'm told a replacement is on back-order.

As for the performance of the unit, its actually quite good. It seems to provide a more even coverage pattern than the typical impact sprinkler and its operation is A LOT smoother- no THWACK THWACK THWACK noise-just a continous kind of whirring noise.

I'll reserve judgement till I get both units in the ground and operating. But so far, this unit is slightly superior to the impact model.

Love-Hate Relationship!
I love this sprinkler, but it broke less than a year after buying it. Not sure if I want to purchase another.

As advertised
It's a very good sprinkler with two area working mechanism. You can regulate it to work from 25 degree until full circle. Very robust and quiet.

Best Sprinkler available anywhere !
I have used this sprinkler for several years and it was my absolute favorite - it is quiet and doesn't have that annoying sound that most sprinklers have. And it doesn't pool water at its base either.
My dogs ate my old one and I am thrilled to find that I can replace it at Amazon ! Good price also ! Less than I originally paid ! ... Read more

Gardena On/Off Valve
First encountered (and started using) Gardena products 15 years ago while living in Europe. The Gardena products are very common in Britain/Europe; available wherever gardening supplies are sold. The "quick-on"/"quick-off" hose attachments work very well. They save a lot of time and frustration in making/breaking connections. Light weight (but heavy duty) plastic. The Gardena On/Off Valve is one of the few Gardena hose accessories that is somewhat fragile. A combination of a few years exposed to sun-light and a hard bang on concrete and the handle breaks (or pops out of the valve body). Still, during it's finite life, it is an important accessory in the Gardena system. When they ultimately break, I go searching for another one. Seal on the "male" end is provided by an "O" rings every four or five years these might need replacing; available for 25 cents at any good hardware. ... Read more
