GARDENA (20575-81) Up to 2300 sq ft - ZoomMaxx Adjustable Oscillating Sprinkler on Metal Step Spike for Watering Large Area Lawn with US Hose Threads, Yard and Garden. Gardena Quick Connects

Our townhouse association shut off the water sprinklers to save money. Using my own water supply I needed something that would work in smaller confined areas. My lawn is postage stamp size - say 20 x 20 feet in area. It is adjacent to two driveways and it was important to keep our very hard water off the driveways and more importantly off the cars that park on them. This is perfect, you can adjust the angle, rate of flow, and tightly focus the stream to only land on the grass. I left it out all summer, it is barely noticeable, and use a timer to control frequency. Lawn has never looked better, even when the sprinklers were working, this does a much better job with coverage.

I have had sprinklers before and they have worked fine. One brand I have had for years but the width adjustment handles were so flimsy they broke. I decided to buy new one so I tried Aqua****, cheap, worked but you couldn’t adjust the width of the spray - didn’t work - sent it back.Then I purchase Gardena (this model) twice as expensive, but difference is night and day. There is adjustment for pressure, adjustment for the length on both sides using the sliding bars, but here is what is the bees knees, the width of the sprinkler is adjustable individually on each side, that means one side can be full width while the other is at its narrowest giving a myriad of combinations. The adjustment mechanism is also very sturdy and fine.I have only had this a a short while, impressed so far. If it lasts the 5 years it is guaranteed for then money well spent.It also comes with a quick connect and the sprinkler end is one piece with the unit so no leaking, another nice feature.If you don’t need these features the Aqua**** would be fine but if you need adjustments to get in those weird shapes of lawn like mine - this is the one for you.Time will tell how good the workmanship is, if it keeps going without breaking or clogging, I would give it 6 stars

Nice build quality and very easy to setup. I have some new sod and this has been nice in keeping it watered every day. Can dial in just the area o need and no more.

Like many of us I've been through the various sprinklers that we purchase from Amazon or the local big box stores. Ultimately they all disappoint, either too light to stay in place, break or don't have solid performance. I must admit that the quality of this device, its output and ability to go from tiny trickle to large dispersion is very good. The large ground stake with foot step is easy to place the device and feel confident that it will stay in place. Next it has the ability to adjust water throw 4 ways. There are 2 slider switches to control the left-side and right-side throw angle independently. Also there are two vertical turn dials to control the number of degrees that the sprinkler travels/throws to the right side or left. So if looking at the sprinkler from the side - it's easy to have it travel from noon to complete parallel to ground to the right side - while adjusting the other vertical turn dial to only have it travel from noon to 10am (or any exact adjustment from none to full) or to simply stop at noon to the left-side if you're only choosing to throw to one side. I've used it for nearly two months - changing its location frequently to augment areas where built in sprinklers don't cover well enough. I'm happy to report that it still operates as new and hasn't show indication of breaking any time soon. It's not cheap but if you're looking to enter a longer than single season relationship with your sprinkler - this has been a good purchase.

Wish I would have just bought this brand out of the gate, as it would have saved me a ton of time, and would not have wasted tons of water like the other stuff I experimented with. Controls are precise, movement is butter smooth, and seals seem to actually work. I purchased both the little Gardena 38124 ZoomMaxx, and its bigger brother (don't know the model off hand) and am very happy with both. With other brands and sprinkler designs, I struggled with big watering blind-spots in the areas close to the head, as most shoot the water in a big, concentrated arc shape. This vertical oscillating designs solves that. Ordering 4 more of the little one to cover the rest of the yard.One note, I couldn't hit the ranges advertised on the product (especially with the big one), but my water flow situation is less than ideal here. Historic home with an old, calcified 1/2" copper intake pipe supplying the whole house, so I put the blame mostly here.

Great quality build stake is strong and will not bend even with harder soils. Great water adjustment feature that lets you spend less time and water moving sprinklers around

I purchased this item and it worked great at first. But after two weeks of use, it stopped rotating. I could not return it as the return dates had past. So I called the company who told me to file a warranty claim, which I did. However it has now been over a month and no response from the company. I sent them a second email, but still no response. I should have realized this was not a robust product the moment I received it. It is very light weight and all of the mechanical parts made of plastic.Do not purchase this product if you plan to use this sprinkler more than once a week.
