I first bought one of these about 4 years ago, I don't remember where. It has the finest, gentlest shower spray setting of any nozzle I've found, and I buy at least one each year, hoping to find one better than this Gardena. You can even use the shower setting on tender seedlings. It served well until one of my kids dropped it. Being plastic (unfortunately), it cracked and now leaks. I had looked all over the internet before finding it available here. Now, if they'd just make the dang thing out of metal (it costs enough that it should be) it would be about perfect.

The Gardena system works for me. I use the spray gun while watering plants, washing off walks, washing cars, etc. The sprayer has four settings for different output. I like the fact that the sprayer can be coupled / de-coupled from a pressurized hose with minimal leaks. Just remember, if you plan to attach this spray gun to a pressurized hose, squeeze the trigger while attaching - otherwise you'll never be able to overcome the 80 PSI in the hose.

My spray gun is 1-1/2 years old and continues to work perfectly. The connectors are plastic, so I wonder about long-term durability - I have not experienced any problems yet, and have observed minimal leaks.

I have a number of Gardena sprinklers, wands and sprayers. Let me say that I have used none better, The only one I have an issue is with the 350T sprinkler, which has a water pressure robbing timer that makes the oscillator stick. My unit without the timer works great. For the reviewer that dropped the sprayer on the hard driveway and it broke, what did you expect? Why blame the product for your carelessness? Please! I have broken a couple sprayers in the same way and I cursed myself, not the manufacturer. Doggone Mercedes, I crashed my car into a pole and it broke. They should make a better car. Get real. Find better than Gardena, then buy it.

It will BLAST, it will sprinkle, and everything in between. Almost a power washer! Gentle enough to water plants, forceful enough to peel paint. The ultimate sprayer.

I have gone through hundreds of inexpensive hose nozzles, they always break, leak and dissapoint. I got this one for Mother's Day and it is so excellent! It is comfortable, has usable spray settings and works beautifully! I am going to get one for my sister.

I'm the same reviewer who wrote the review below titled "A Good Spray Gun". Well, I'm back to tell you the entire truth. Yes, it was a good spray gun. However, I recently hooked it up and went out to wash the car after giving it most of the winter off. No, I don't abuse the unit by leaving it outside in our sometimes freezing winter; it spends the winter in a warm garage in a box with some other nozzles, connectors, etc. Anyways, the first thing I noticed was that it wouldn't shut completely off. When I released the handle, it kept spraying at a reduced rate. Wanting to get away from the spray, I handed it to my wife so I could continue scrubbing winter goo off the car. At least I thought I handed it to her...

The unit fell about four feet onto our driveway and split into two pieces; a handle and a nozzle. Needless to say, I'm NOT impressed with a product that could break this easily. I never leave it out in the sun - so UV damage to the plastic can be ruled out. What we have here is a product that works great when new, but isn't meant for long term use. I still like the Gardena system of connectors and attachments. I like the system so much that I now use it to connect my new brass spray gun to the hose. If you're going to buy one of these, realize that it is a disposable unit. If you're looking for something that will last you for the long term, look elsewhere.

2 stars (revised downward).

I am an avid flower gardener, especially potted ones, so I must water everyday in the hot summer. this sprayer leaked and broke very easily. Around the connections water would spray out and this was less than 1 year old.
