Gardena (69-84BZMX) ZoomMaxx Adjustable Sprinkler with Built in Timer Weighted Base for Precise Watering up to 2,300 Sq Ft, Compatible with Any Hose Brand, Made in Germany 5 Year Warranty

For precision watering it is unrivaled. Low flow, high flow, whatever, it works beautifully. I bought my first one last year and have just now purchased my second one to replace my Nelson oscillating sprinkler which will not oscillate if I turn the flow down too low and which is difficult to adjust to cover various areas without over watering. I have several 4 foot x 8 foot planting boxes and this can be set to water them easily and very accurately. I also have several other beds of varying sizes and shapes and this sprinkler can be easily adjusted from narrow to wide and from short to long beds. The nozzles are of a soft material (possibly silicone?) and if they get clogged, as they inevitably do, then a simple rub or prod at the offending nozzle usually clears it. The downside? Two things: it's plastic and does not feel particularly rugged so it should be handled with some care. I avoid tossing or flinging it or banging it around and I don't handle it by the sprinkler head. Second, the flow control valve is at the base just under the sprinkler head and adjusting the flow while the sprinkler is on can make for rather an uncomfortable experience. My solution is to add a 6 foot leader hose with a quick connect on the female end. In addition, I use a ball valve with male quick connect attached to the male end of my hose to control the water flow. This allows me to stand away from the sprinkler and adjust the flow without getting rained on. Pricey? Yeah, it is. But this sprinkler is the best I've ever used and I'm getting rid of all my other sprinklers.

Work wonderful for my small pie shaped yard. I loved it so much that I bought other couplers to put onto my hoses to make the connections easier. Can control the amount of water and how far it goes horizontally or vertically.

This is a very nice sprinkler for a small yard or a yard broken up into fairly small areas. It can be a pleasure to use on a hot summer day, depending on your outlook. Pros: - On its maximum range setting, with my water pressure this sprinkler will cover about 36' x 18'. - The coverage can be adjusted separately to the left, right, front, and back of this sprinkler, so you can easily water just a narrow patch of grass or a small area you just had to replant. - It's easy to turn down the flow/height so it doesn't hit an overhanging roof. - This sprinkler is relatively small and light, while a large base keeps it stable during watering. - You can remove an end cap and daisy-chain this sprinkler with something else, if you're so inclined. Cons: - The adjustments are somewhat complicated at first, though you can figure them out fairly quickly through trial and error. - You've got five adjustments to play with, so if you move the sprinkler around there's no way you're going to get the settings right on your first guess. If you can set these all appropriately without getting soaked in the process, you're a better waterer than I am. ;-) - If you decrease the width of the coverage the little nozzles all tilt up, meaning you'll get more water on the side you narrowed. This isn't a big deal, but be warned. Note that the width adjustment is stiff, so it can be hard to get it right (see the last point above). Note: This sprinkler is designed for Gardena's snap-on connector system, which you're either going to love or hate. If you've already adopted Gardena's connectors (they fit Melnor connectors in the U.S.), this will be a nice convenience. Otherwise, you'll have to screw the included snap-on connector onto your hose end each time you want to use this sprinkler. If you just leave the connector attached to the sprinkler, however, that shouldn't be a problem. Update 4/29/15: I bought another one of these sprinklers a few weeks ago, and it leaked like crazy around the back of the little orange dial that controls the water height. I returned the leaky sprinkler to Amazon, but the replacement did exactly the same thing. Finally, I got a replacement head directly from Gardena support in Ontario (905) 792-9330, which worked perfectly. Looks like Amazon might have gotten a defective lot. Just be aware that this sprinkler is not supposed to leak.

One of the best oscillating sprinklers I've ever had! This sprinkler is so easy to adjust - both width of coverage as well as length of pattern. It's small and easier to store than most oscillators. Such a good sprinkler, our neighbors borrow it all the time! Christmas will come, neighbors - and the one who latches on to my sprinkler for too long will be gifted with it and I will be the recipient of YOUR new sprinkler! Seriously, this is a great sprinkler - I wouldn't wan to use any other!

It hasn't been even a month and the sprinkler has stopped rotating. Not worth the money. Do not buy. Too much money for a below average product. works very similar to the products in 1200 range, while this one costs 4000. Trust me, don't buy it. All hype, very poor quality.

Sehr gut .

This is a great sprinkler for low water pressure areas. Our water pressure seems to have been throttled so previous sprinklers do not work correctly. All features on sprinkler work perfectly with good range

Llegó a tiempo, lo prepare para regar; hay que invertir un tiempo para ajustar, no trae instrucciones pero, es muy fácil jugar con los diferentes ajustes que trae para aprender como funcionan. Cumple su cometido perfectamente, esperemos que dure mucho tiempo. ACTUALIZACION: Para hace unos días (20 al 29 de julio 2022), he experimentado problemas, el sistema oscilante deja de trabajar, siempre en un solo lado, se requiere darle un toque pequeño y vuelve a funcionar, varias veces haciendo la oscilación completa, luego se vuelve a atorar. For Gardena people: lately I have experienced some problems with this Gardena Zoom Max, eventually it stops oscillating and need to give a little push in order to swing again, always stops on the same side (right as seen from the water inlet), so what ¿can I do to correct this problem? The water in this area is some hard, so please give me instructions to fix this problem.

Better than many sprinklers I have had. While it is all plastic it seems quite durable. It has good spray adjustability.
