This is the best garden hose sprayer I've ever used! Over the years I've owned dozens of different brands--some cheap, some pricey, ALL lame. I can't find ANYTHING wrong with this sprayer. It has the same German-made quality as the Gardena Aquazoom lawn sprinklers I own.

Put the water only where you need it, and the exact amount you want. No dripping, easy spray selector, variable flow control on back, Variable pressure squeeze trigger, quick connectors. I bought two of these when I was in Europe over 10 years ago. I have one for the front yard and one for the back. They worked flawlessly until I ran one over with my car. Finally I have to replace one. Here is the good: 1. High pressure stream: extremely tight stream, no drips, very powerful. 2. Shower/flower mode: creates an evenly distributing shower stream, perfect for flowers and garden. 3. Wide pressure spray: cleans dirt off tools, sand off feet, dirt from under fingernails, bugs off cars. 4. Faucet Nozzle mode: great for filling bottles, troughs, or flooding trees. Although its made of tough polymer plastic, it is very durable and extremely functional. I have even used it in the house and it puts water only where you want it and nowhere else. In Europe, where its made, water is expensive and they are more conservation conscious than us. That is what this is designed for. I have used it successfully with very high pressure systems. Get the quick connectors too. There are two types: 1. disconnect and connect under pressure (the white and orange variety) or 2. pass-through type that does not close the flow on connect (gray and orange). These enable you to string multiple hoses together under full pressure and not spill a drop.

I bought this nozzle based on the reviews I saw here. I did not get the same experience these reviewers got. The cheap little piece of plastic that locks the spay in motion broke almost immediately. I really enjoy this feature when watering in the garden. I am the only one in the household that uses the hose and I did not abuse this nozzle. I actually bought another Gardena nozzle at the same time as this one. It was the two pattern nozzle. The cheap plastic piece that adjusts the spray of the water stopped working and so it is useless as well. So, I do not recommend these nozzles and hope you don't waste your money like I did.
