Gardena AquaZoom M rectangular sprinkler: Sprinkler for watering areas of 9–250 m², range 3–18 m, spread 3–14 m, built-in metal filter (18712-20)

Great garden sprinkler. Really stable base, and the widest area coverage that I've found. We tried other brands (the yellow one - better for small gardens) and this is the best!

We had new turf laid into our garden and were told we needed to stay off it for several weeks to let it settle, but it would require watering a couple of times a day through the summer. I wasn't really sure what the best sprinkler option was, having never had to tend to a lawn before. There seem to be various different types, but I felt a traditional oscillating sprinkler best suited the lawn area we have - it's essentially a 10x10m square of lawn. So ideally I needed a sprinkler I could throw in the middle to water. Gardena are a brand I've used many times lately, having centered most of my garden water needs around their products. They're pricier than some rivals, but I find that they're worth the extra money normally, especially if you wait for a sale price. I bought this item at around £30. The construction feels like heavy duty plastic. With the exception of the metal rods in the base, which I believe are for the axis/to rotate. There are a couple of dials to adjust the water streams and direction. The first one adjusts the "throw" which can increase the distance from 3-15m, and then there are dials to change the spread. You can do this on either end of the sprinkler so if you, for example, wanted to avoid the garden shed you could adjust the dial to stop short and open the other side up to go further. It's pretty effective. I tend to set mine up in the centre of the lawn and then adjust it to stop short of the patio on one end, and go full spread on the other. In terms of height I've set it to cover maximum distance without going over the neighbours fence! I think the quality is there for the money. I used it throughout the initial month of settling the lawn and it did a great job. I have since used it periodically during the hot spells in the summer. It's simple to hook up to the hose and place down where you need it. The controls are basic but effective. The water inlet has a built in rust resistant filter to prevent dirt or limescale getting into the sprinkler. This can be removed and washed out. It's worth noting that this is the smaller of three that Gardena sell. It'll cover up to 150m², the next one 250m² and the large does up to 350m² - so there are options available using the same tech - the throw and reach increases with the sizes. Overall good value, effective and feels like will last as long as I need it to. Easy recommendation from me.

These are good but you need very good water pressure to get the advertised coverage.

Obviously coverage is dependent on water pressure so the advertised coverage needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. I generally get about 6m wide by 10m long but it does change day to day and hour by hour depending on the mains pressure. The great thing about this sprinkler is that you can change the length both forwards and backwards and side to side, so if your lawn is not rectangular you can vary the pattern as you move the sprinkler around the lawn and it still gives an even, smooth spray pattern without overshooting the lawn.

Gardena is a superior brand. This sprinkler is brilliant. I have good water pressure and its buttons work to set the exact range of water spray.

Poor performance.

First one went missing as driver didn't follow delivery instructions. We immediately received a replacement and I have to say I am 100% satisfied with this product. It performs brilliantly in every way. A bonus it's made in Europe (Germany) as well so that is a bonus.

Coverage claims are a joke - we have ok water pressure, probably similar to most people’s, and max coverage is 7m x 6m with everything set to max. So how does a business get away with distorting the truth about their product’s performance? I guess it’s part of the over-promise/under-deliver ethos. It’s a nicely built sprinkler and easy to use, however you buy it to get the coverage, not to look nice.

なかなか良い。もっと早く買ってもよかった。

4.5×6mの長方形の芝生の水やりに使用しています。 幅と距離を微調整出来るので、四角形の土地であれば正確な水やりが可能です（風の影響は受けますがおおよそ問題ありません）。 ペグで固定して使用すれば、水やり範囲がズレる心配もありません。タイマーと組み合わせて早朝に自動で水やりしてくれているので、非常に楽でオススメです。

We have tried many sprinklers for lawns over 20 years and find the Gardena Adjustable oscillating the best. currently have three in use all summer every summer for the last 5 years. They are sturdy, reliable, easy to use and of the highest quality.
