    Really brilliant. Covers a huge area and can easily be adjusted.
    Tried several others, but should have gone with this all along. Love it.

    You can set the angle up to 360 degrees and adjust the distance . You can also attach an additional one so that it covers a greater area. A fantastic buy. Really pleased with it.

    Does a full circle!
    This is a bit fiddly to set up at first to get the right distance and spread but once done it’s great. I used to have the sprinkler that goes side to side which i have to keep moving in order to cover all the garden. With this sprinkler I can set it to full circle and get it done in half the time and far less hassle.

    Does the job
    Product is sturdy and well made. Easy to set up and adjust and even with low water pressure it covered a diameter of 18m.
    Finer spray gives more even coverage but reduces distance.
    All in all very pleased.

    Great quality and ability to alter the spray shape, direction and profiles but the actual droplet pattern is not so brilliant. Takes longer to soak the area compared to my older Gardena model.

    Super sprinkler, lovely fine spray that won’t wash away new seedlings. Excellent control with turn of the tap. Take no notice of rude comment from unhappy contributor, obviously has poor water pressure.

    Just the job for small gardens
    Does what is says on the tin, bought this to water the new turf on my long but thin (15′ X 100′) back garden. it’s variable and the circle of spray can be easily controlled by the tap on the hose-line its self. I think the range of the circle of water could be from 25ft to 1ft according to pressure through my tap. Simple and easy to use, nice.

    Ideal for a large garde
    We’ve just had a large area of grass cut down and a wildflower meadow planted. Our old and rather flimsy oscillating sprinkler wasn’t up to the job of daily watering, so we opted for this Gardena pulse sprinkler. Initial impressions are good. It’s solidly constructed with an adequately weighty base, and there are controls for the inclination of the water pulse and the rotation of the spread. Seeing it in operation is more satisfying than our previous sprinkler and overall it’s probably covering twice the area. A good buy for a large garden.

    Works perfectly
    Many reviews on here state that don’t turn or only turns one way

    You need good water pressure as if I run a tap at the same time it stops rotating so there is nothing wrong with it

    Works brilliantly

    Works really well you plug it in and a giant circle of water sprays out. One note of caution I bought two to daisy chain them and the second did not work. I don’t know if that was water pressure or a fault but I have taken a star off for that.

    Covers 4m diameter’s incredibly well, very happy
    Very happy with this product. I got this product as I previously had the hozelock oscillating arc type, but the arm kept getting stuck in one position. I have a normal semi-detached house sized garden (~70 sqm) with a patio covering a quarter of it. This sprinkler covers the each of the other quarters one at a time on full power with quite a bit of overlap. (Could possibly achieve in 2 sections but want to get right into the corners).
    The water comes out fine enough that it doesn’t shift grass seed or knock petals off flowers, and takes about 5 mins on full power to do a good watering, 10 mins for a really good soaking.
    It fits the standard hozelock adapter, and is really good value for money. (Also arrived 2 days earlier than advised)
    The only cons are:
    – on full power (I have medium – good water pressure), where the hozelock oscillating arm would have shot out the garden, this covers 4m diameter max (which is fine for what I’m covering)
    – the spike could be sharper as it sometimes struggles to get into the dryer ground

    Other than that would highly recommend

    Rotation needs decent water pressure. Trial and error to work out where the water will spray for each setting (wear a cossie!) Spray tends to go in an elevated way falling a couple of meters from sprayer.

    Good quality but suitable for small gardens only
    Overall this is a good sprinkler, really easy to use and provides even coverage. There is no way this has the claimed 11m spray diameter though – it’s closer to 5m which means it’s only suitable for smaller gardens (unless you want to move it). Disappointingly this has meant I still have to move mine around despite the fact my garden is the size of a postage stamp. So check before you buy.

    The best sprinkle
    This is the ultimate sprinkler. I’m so pleased with it. Upon unboxjng it is clear how well that this has been made. Extremely high standard of manufacturing, good quality materials and perfect design.
    It is easy to use and set up. You can adjust it to water a precise area of grass using the angle and height adjuster. My garden is tiered with patio next to the house and a raised lawn above. I can sit on the patio below whilst my garden is watered using this and remain completely dry. You can also adjust it to water 360 degrees too.
    It covers a large area.
    I set it up with my Hozelock system. I’ve had that a while before I got this Gardena. I am so impressed with the quality Gardena offer I have been converted and will update my entire garden irrigation tools due to how impressed I am with this.
    Finally, this sprinkler has such a satisfying noise to it.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersGood for small areas
    Some sprinklers spray to water so far in all directions and wet areas not requiring watering so this little spray head is ideal for small areas. One tip I have is that if you merely push it into the soil nearby plants can hamper the spread of the spray. I got round this by fixing the spray head on top on two bamboo sticks to raise it above ground level. See Photo.

    Water pressure
    Ensure your water pressure will be enough for the sprinkler, otherwise the <360 degree "function" will not work properly. When my water pressure is low, I will just leave the sprinkler on 360 degree "function".

    Otherwise a great sprinkler to use in odd shapes and corners of the garden.

    It's good but doesn't seem very efficie
    All in all its not a bad product. I have a lawn about 117m2 and it covers most of it partly because I have to adjust it so it doesn’t drench pavements or go into next doors garden.
    My main issue for not giving 5 stars is I’ve been running it for an hour and measuring how much water it’s getting down and after an hours run it’s about 5mm of water coverage. I measured in 2 spots in between max range and at the device. After an hours running that seems a bit of a waste. My guess is most of the water is at the end of the flow towards the edge. However if I adjust anymore then the range will be significantly reduced. I will do some more checks and adjust the review if needed.

    Fantastic sprinkler, good range, adjustable and strong construction.
    We have a very large garden, this sprinkler is fantastic as it rotates and covers a very wide area. It spins and goes up and down to spray the area without soaking one patch. It’s saved us so much time and we have bought another to cover another area. We’ll worth the money, strong construction and looks more expensive than it was when it’s in action. It seems highly adjustable too so you can focus on a specific area with just a few clicks.

    This unit is simply excellent. Straight out of the box without any required adjustment it works superbly and in my opinion gets better with use and familiarity of the controls. My only gripe (and not really a big one) is the lack of information relating to the ability to control the spray and spread of the water. It works great!

    It wets the grass and... Well, that's it really, but it's good.
    I live in Manchester, so buying this was always a luxury given it rains so much, but I did get to use it a handful of days last year. You can adjust how far it sprays on each side, but it’s limited to spraying in a line, so you probably need to readjust it after 10 mins if you have a square or odd shaped garden. This can be an exciting game of trying not to get wet because you’re too lazy to turn it off and on again, at least the way I do it. In fact, that little thrill is probably what makes me like it so much. If only Manchester wasn’t so wet I might actually get to that it more often.

    I really like this sprinkler, its so much better than the one that I had before that just went backward and forward and had to be moved frequently to reach all the places you want it to reach. With this one it goes full 360, and you can alter the height which sends it right to the back of the garden. And it seems well made, made of metal base, no flimsly plastic. Can’t fault it really. Very pleased with this product. Definitely value for money.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersVery Good Sprinkle
    You can get a sprinkler costing a few pence – then you can aim a little higher and get something much better.

    I had this to review and to be honest, not exactly the most riveting product in the world. But, to be honest when I opened up the box and got this out I was impressed.

    The design is very pleasing on the eye. Most of all its well made and has that nice heavy sold feel that indicates a bit of quality to go with it.

    The plastic used is the good stuff and the moldings are excellent, No raggy edges or lines. Smooth to feel and well put together.

    The base is weighted to ensure that this stays put and it most certainly does – see video.

    You can set the arc of travel easily with the two orange tangs providing an adjustable end stop each way. You simply open them up to the desired amount and that’s it.

    To be honest, this is the best sprinker I’ve had in my hands – and given my lawn size, that’s a lot. Highly recommended.

    A premium sprinkler that does the job perfectly
    This is a beautifully made sprinkler that is really easy to recommend. It has a wide area of coverage that will be fine for small to medium sized lawns, using the adjustment for the “canon” to vary the watered diameter between 10 and 25 m. For those with larger lawns, it is possible to connected a second sprinkler as a daisy chain by removing the end cap and adding a further length of hose.

    I have always found Gardena products to be really well designed and this is no exception. It took a matter of seconds to get this up and running and it was really easy to adjust the controls to match the spray pattern to the shape of my garden.

    This is so much better than the Hozelock sprinkler I have been using earlier this year and will make light work of keeping the garden watered in future.

    I’ve previously used cheaper sprinklers and this certainly gives a sense of much better build quality, a longer range, and decent pattern.

    Great for larger gardens
    Arrived just in time for the start of the rainy season but very quickly established that this is a robust and efficient sprinkler that can quickly water a large garden. Angle of elevation is adjustable as is the area of watering,the latter by means of adjusting a couple of levers on the base. The instructions are, to put it kindly, a little basic but the principles were not too difficult to establish.

    Is quite stable in use, appears robust and better built than my previous sprinklers. All I need now is Summer to return…..

    Gardena Sprinkler - Water Everywhere?
    Sadly this arrived after the heatwave this summer when the grass visibly cried out for more water. A few weeks of rain and it is back in its glorious September sheen but curiosity on the capabilities of this sprinkler led to another soaking last week. It is an excellent product and the pulse release gives the water an all-around spread. One niggle is that it doesn’t cover the widest area in this garden so there is a bit of positioning to do. Otherwise an excellent sprinkler at a decent price.

    OK but coverage does depend on water pressure
    Once I had figured out how to adjust this I managed to get it pulsing round through a full 360 degrees. When attached to a very long hose pipe (50m) to reach the most distant part of my garden the water pressure was not sufficient to get it to pulse round. In another area using a 20m hose it did so pretty well. The adjustments do take a little bit of getting the hang of – and there is also a small flip up clip which needs to be moved to get the 360 degrees working. Rather better instructions would be appreciated.

    But overall a decent piece of equipment which looks well made and as though it may last for a decent period of time.

    Typical Gardena quality - strong, well-designed and easy to use
    The weather has changed so this won’t now be used properly until next summer but on test it was excellent, fitting easily onto our equally excellent self-retracting Gardena hose and being very stable on the lawn. The spray area can be adjusted easily and the spray works very well. It’s all very well made and should surely last for years.

    Useful
    This sprays in puksed segments, gradually travelling in a circle. It is quicker in one direction tgan the other. I tried it out in the narrowest part of a semi detatched garden and it worked well. Reducing the circle, meant that the bench didn’t get sprayed. Personally I think I would go for a 360 degree sprayer in larger areas. This woukd have saved a few plants I lost in the Summer’s drought alas.

    I have found Gardena products of this type to be far better quality that the other main make. This wide area sprinkler confirms that opinion. It has a full range of adjusts of front and rear angles and also side to side reach.
    It is not affected unduly by a sudden reduction on water pressure, and the action is not interrupted by it, unlike our previous “other make” which would stop and not restart. Highly recommended !

    I’ve only had this five minutes and I love it already! Well, ‘love’ may be a bit extreme but, I am very impressed with it!

    Having read the reviews and looked at the pictures on the box it was easy to put into operation. This so adjustable that it is going to be a joy to use. I only hope it lasts forever.

    All my previous ‘bar’ type sprinklers took three, maybe four, positions to water my whole rear garden. This Gardena will do it in two, with a LOT of over-lap. The front lawns took two position setting, this will require just the one for each of them – oh joy!

    Good piece of kit for a small lawn. I have low pressure so have tried a few and had poor results especially with the ones with arms. They end up in the bin, but this works well. Not a super soaker so needs time to do its thing. Quiet enough to be barely noticeable.

    Surprising how well you can set up the sprinkler shape. You can either stick it in the middle of the garden and sprinkle forwards and backwards, as much as on an edge and pretty much sprinkle from then onwards. For best results, had to set a specific length of hose, just enough length for best water pressure.

    For the money, I’m pretty sure this fantastic little sprinkler cannot be beaten. We had a roughly 60m2 expanse of lawn re-turfed and this device has been an absolute life saver. Coverage is superb, and works well on average water pressure from our outside tap. Depending on the layout of your garden, the sprinkler could potentially provide coverage for a similar area, although we move it to two different positions to ensure all corners are covered. There are simple settings to control spread in both directions, which work very well.

    Almost 5 weeks on and the lawn is thriving – we were careful to follow care advice obviously, but this device just made the whole job that much simpler.

On its minimum settings I was able to get it down to around 10′ x 4′, which was a little less than I needed. A quick fiddle with the controls and I had it just watering the area I needed. I don’t think my water pressure is particularly high so this may not be achievable for everyone, but to give an idea, vertically the spray was reaching about 8′.

    As other reviewers have mentioned, the only instructions are pictographs on the carton that the sprinkler comes packed in. These images are less than clear. There are two main pairs of controls. Rotating dials that control the throw of the spray – by the way, these do not both go all the way to the top, so avoid forcing them because the stop is not that positive. They have a minimum separation (angle of spray swing), but that separation can be maintained with a bias to one side or the other. At each end of the rectangular spray block there is a slider. This alters the angle of the jets. This is how the width of the spray pattern is controlled. The great thing about this is that you can alter the angle separately on each side, so one side can have a wide spread and the other a minimal spread.

    There is one other control — a tiny dial with a handle. Turning this reduces/increases water flow. At its minimum setting, with my low water pressure, I was able to reduce the height of the spray to a couple of inches. Absolutely useless for me, but if you have high water pressure I guess it might be a worthwhile additional control.

    Overall I really like the amount of control I have over the spray area. For me, with a small garden, it is perfect and I can control it so no spray is falling over the fences onto neighbours’ property, and I can, pretty much, put water just where I want it. Highly recommended, unless you need a spray to water a large lawn.

    Love love love it!
    Ordered the zoom max gardena sprinkler first but that one didn’t reach the corners of our large (for England standards) garden. This one does the job perfectly. Needed something for my aunt who cannot manage watering the garden every day! Took the sprinkler to a nearby store and bought connector for hose attachment from there: worked out cheaper. Turn the tap on and turn it off 5 mins later with this magical item in place – watering the garden is no longer something we have to take out time for in my busy day <3

    Very good – much stronger and sturdier than my old one.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our Usersange dependant on pressure
    extermley variable in terms of range, this is ideal for any shaped garden as it can be adjusted to suit.
    will take a little of of playing around with to get it right for your garden and if your like me getting wet in the process.
    range was good although not quite enough to do my whole garden but that depends on your water pressure. my grassed area is 15ft X 70ft and it covered about 45ft in length and easily covered the width

    Produces the fine mist I was hoping for rather than huge droplets
    Very functional. Produces the fine mist I was hoping for rather than huge droplets. A bit range-limited, needing frequent moves.

    Excelle
    One of the best sprinklers I have ever had – and I have a considerable number over the years. It covers a considerable area which is a great advantage dispensing with the need to move it regularly to cover more ground, it is also fairly even in its coverage. I do find thought that using it among growing plants it needs to be above the average height so have improvised a pole about one and a half metres tall to raise it above most of the plants (if it is not raised above the plants the spray is prevented from attaining its full reach). Of course this is not a problem for lawns

    My one quibble it that it is that while very easy to adjust the spray area from a narrow segment to the full 360 , it is very difficult to know where the chosen selected segment will actually go. It seems to be a matter of trial and error until you get it directed exactly where you want

    As with other Gardena products this is a well made and superior product, and still works just as well season after season.

    Bigger than expected
    Much larger than expected, be sure to check size since picture can be mis-leading. However, the spray is excellent, fine and wide ranging. Holds well in the soil so long as you don’t mind a small hole.

    Golden Review Award: 19 From Our UsersA Very Accurate Sprinkle
    This sprinkler is the business! It may be expensive, but you won’t regret paying extra for it. And don’t be put off by how small it is!

    I had been using a Hozelock Vortex spike sprinkler on a timer to water the grass seed I had sown. Using this circular sprinkler on my rectangular lawn meant (a) the corners of the lawn were being missed; (b) my fences were soaked by an arc of water going up the sides, and worst of all (c) it was leaving a large circle around the sprinkler itself completely dry.

    The great thing about this ZoomMaxx sprinkler is its adjustability. You can adjust (1) the sideways width angle of the water on each side independently – which means you can tailor it to the exact width of your lawn; (2) how far the sprinkler goes over one side before returning in the other direction for the length of your lawn – again, the two sides can be independently set and (3) a “volume control” for the amount of water going through it which adjusts the range.

    There is no manual in the box – the minimal instructions are on the box itself, and are written in that modern children’s picture-book style, which is a down-side as far as I’m concerned. But it’s still worth 5 stars because it’s dead easy to work out how to use the controls.

    It uses a standard hozelock style connection.

    The pictures of it spraying, as shown in the Amazon page, don’t do it justice really and make it look fairly feeble, frankly. I bought it on the strength of the reviews themselves, and I’m glad I did.

    Garden Sprinkle
    This is a basic garden sprinkler which does exactly what it says on the packaging. It fulfilled my watering needs but you do have to move it often, as the range is not great. I feel it is a good buy for the price.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersExcellent spray
    Other sprays we’ve tried either go up too far in the air or water a very large area but you’d have to leave the tap on for hours to do any good. This Gardena one efficiently waters just the right area in much less time.
    Thoroughly recommended.

    The birds like it!
    My husband appears happy with this sprinkler. The seagulls seem to enjoy having a free shower when it is switched on!
