Gardena Oscillating Sprinkler Aqua S

A great little sprinkler. I like things that work well and do a great job. Lightweight, easy to set up and use. Quiet in operation. The range adjusting levers are easy to move with infinite adjustment. This is the smallest in the range but for our small block is more than adequate. Will do the 12m width in one go. But can be adjusted down to do the thin strips beside the house. By playing with the pressure and the range adjusters, the spray width can be 2 to 13m, and the length (arc) can be 3 to 17m. (There are 5 other models in the range - the biggest would do a huge area). On the downside, it is very lightly built, and I would not expect it to last too many years (made in Germany so might get a pleasant surprise on its longevity). But at $25 from Home Hardware I won't mind replacing it after 2 - 3 years. The spray pattern is very even and rectangular, making it great for a typical lawn or verge without wasting water on the road..... waters right into the corners without watering the house). I'll never go back to a round sprinkler again. The only improvement I can think of would be a smoother/rounder shape under the nozzle end so that it can be pull forward to change its position, without it catching on the lawn.
