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.

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!

Perfect quality. Good value for the money. Would buy again

Would rate 4.5 if I could.Likes - works as advertised, tons of adjustment, stable base (doesn’t move when in use).Dislikes - lots of plastic (we’ll see how it holds up), can’t lock out oscillation (sprayer oscillates slightly at lowest settings)).Overall - I recommend this product.

I hate watering the lawn so much less now. I used to spend as much time trying to get my sprinkler to the right settings as I would have spent just watering it by hand. Dials that actually do what you expect when you adjust them, no more battling with getting the hose just right so it won't tip over, and no longer soaking my driveway, the sidewalk, or the side of my house with a lot of wasted water. Thank you for creating a product that fixes a lot of problems.

[Update 3]Still one-star. The experience is getting worse. I was trying to get support and happened to notice that the timer in the picture is NOT the one they sent, which is maybe why it broke? Amazon has links for product support that lead to a 404 because Gardena has changed their websites or something. I went looking for my own way to get warranty support on their website and they require a product number. They have a link to look up product numbers that goes to ANOTHER BRAND WEBSITE where you cannot find the product number. Their support is non-existent, verging on sadistic. Every turn of the way I find myself more disappointed and frustrated.[Update 2]Now that it is outside of the return period, it has become fully defective. The timer regularly fails to run so that I have discovered the sprinkler having run for hours or at one point days on end in one spot. I have probably spent more on wasted water already then the sprinkler itself costed. What is the point of automation if it consistently fails? I have to set reminders to go out and check on it to make sure it does what I expect so I might as well just go spray the lawn myself or use an old fashioned sprinkler. For something this expensive and fancy I would expect it to last more than a month or two. I was very excited when I first set it up but it just doesn't perform as expected.[Update 1]I discovered the sprinkler had stopped oscillating and was just spraying one direction. At first I thought it was broken but after messing with it a bit, it started oscillating again. I hope this does not become a regular issue. Deducted one of five stars.[Update 2]I did get excited and buy their hose and some other garden sprayers. It's neat how they can be interchanged with such speed and ease, but I'm baffled that none of this came with an attachment to make the timer interchangeable with the nozzles the way the sprinkler itself is. You have to unscrew the sprayer attachment to screw in the timer and visa versa. Worse yet: I bought their hose and the timer WILL NOT WORK with their hose. I just ordered another pack of adapters so we'll see if one of them does the trick, but I don't think I should have to order additional adapters to make their own timer work with their own hose. Even after all this, I really like these tools, so I'm only docking one star. They're a pleasure to use when they work, but it's surprisingly complicated to figure out and set up if you want to do more than the bare minimum, and you end up having to buy into a whole ecosystem to just get one sprinkler to work for you.[Original Review]I don't usually write a review when I've barely used a thing but even just while unboxing it, I was giddy. I guess I put a lot of time and effort into watering and, having been through a lot of highly rated sprinklers that do get the job done, this was just a pleasure to set up for the first time.It so easily snaps together and comes with a quick shut-swap attachment that cuts the water flow when you remove the hose. This is so convenient to use that it makes me want to buy more sprinklers just so I can swap the hose between them with delight and glee.It also comes with a shut-off timer which will ease my growing anxiety around starting the sprinkler while working from home. I tend to get caught up in what I'm doing. I even set timers then shut them off thinking "I just need to finish this one line of code then I'll go move the sprinkler" then hours later I realize that I just wasted $6 of water and stripped my soil of nutrients.Everything is so modular. Other companies might avoid such modularity, so you have to buy more stuff, but this just makes me want to buy stuff I don't need. Since I can use the base with other sprinkler heads and use the timer and quick-release shutoff valve on other bases, I feel like I need another base and some more sprinkler heads to switch around.I'm so happy some entrepreneur out there decided to put the same level of engineering and design skill to work on consumer-grade sprinklers that other companies put into helicopters and laptops.I never thought I would unbox a sprinkler with enthusiasm to rival my usual electronic gadgets.

The four directions of independent adjustability on this sprinkler is wonderful. I have a narrow side yard that the average sprinkler will cover but, will also soak the house and water my neighbors yard. I do like my neighbor yet, I don’t think either of us needs me to water the fence and the poison ivy. That’s why this sprinkler is so wonderful. I’m able to adjust the side to side spray as well as the distance as it oscillates to ensure the correct coverage of new grass that was planted and my small garden.I also appreciate the quick connect attachment for the hose that comes with this sprinkler. I can leave the sprinkler in the prime location to cover the yard, disconnect the hose from the sprinkler using the neat attachment, and then easily remove the attachment to use the hose to water other parts of the yard.Definitely recommend this sprinkler for its ability to be adjusted to cover both small and large areas.

Best sprinker I have used and I have tried most of them. So adjustable.Real test is how long it works for.

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 .

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.
