We've used the "plastic-y" hoze nozzles by Nelson for 7 years and end up replacing them every 2-3 years because they crack, lose their dial cover, etc. Of course, they don't always get put down on the concrete gently by our kids. However, this Orbit nozzle is phenomenal! Not only does it have 10 patterns vs. the usual 7 (didn't think that would ever seem as cool as we think it is), but it is solidly built and incredibly durable! The exterior is made of metal and some plastic, but the areas that are metal make it seem infinitely better than the ones we've had in the past. It's ergonomic and easy to adjust. The only slight con is that the button to "lock" it on a setting can be finnicky to keep on, but I don't even think about it anymore. We're buying another one to replace our other hose nozzle! Look no further than this one! The price at $10 is incredibly reasonable and is worth the few extra bucks over the cheapo versions. I hope this helps!

When I got this thing I thought it was pretty neat as all the different spray settings offered lots of fun watering the flowers, the grass, the car, and anybody who got close. Then it got dropped on the driveway and instantly started to leak backward out of the turret. I think I had this thing well over a year and loved until that one day. After it got dropped on the driveway it was done.

I bought one of these at Home Depot and they ran out within weeks. I actually had to buy my second one here on amazon. Its great, doesnt leak and has 9 or 10 different watering spouts. Youve never had this much fun with water since you were a kid!! No joking!

This is a great nozzle - I have small hands that don't have much strength and it is so much easier to use that other kinds.

I had a cheap, but excellent Nelson hose spray that I had bought from Walmart several years back that eventually cracked due to the severe heat/cold since I used to leave it outside. I bought this Orbit Lawn & Garden 10-Pattern Front Trigger Millenium Hose Spray from Amazon hoping I would be getting one of the best hose sprays out there. Like I said in the title of this review, the spray build quality is excellent and looks and feels great when you hold it in the hand. The moment you attach the hose and start the water, it all goes down pretty quickly. The settings are pretty much similar with little variation between them, and the 'jet' setting barely has any power (as compared to my previous Nelson one). The trigger lock seems convenient but drastically cuts down on the pressure because it doesn't lock all the way in like you would press the trigger normally. Today, I tried to unscrew the hose from the spray, and it just wouldn't come out. Looks like something may have rusted inside that's causing it to lock. I'll have to try some other day with some WD-40. I felt that for the price only the looks and feel were worth it, not the performance and usability which I value more. All in all, quite a dud. Would not recommend it to anyone.

Today I had no choice but to crack open the hose spray so that I could connect the hose to the sprinkler. I will not recommend this horrible product to anyone.

This thing supposed to be a replacement on my old nozzle, which lost most of the spring mechanism, and after looking around and reading reviews, bought this nozzle. I just don't get the 5-stars reviews about this product. Got the nozzle couple of weeks ago and used for the first time yesterday. The nozzle's not that heavy, the dial is not tough to turn and the swivel mechanism is pretty cool. But the lock for the squeeze trigger is just terrible. If you push the trigger all the way in, you get full water pressure, but if you try and lock the thing, the pressure will drop... a lot... So what's the use of having the lock if it won't hold the highest pressure??? The trigger's kind of tough to hold, after a while I got some wrist discomfort. So, back to basics and to my old nozzle and the new nozzle will see no light in the drawer. Oh, by the way, it leaks. I had to use a second washer...

This is the best garden hose nozzle I have ever owned. I purchased my first one 2 ˝ years ago. I have a rooftop garden and greenhouse with all my plants in 45 containers and I water year round. I'm 5'1" and my husband is 6'1" and the grip on the handle is comfortable for both of us. I love the way it swivels so the hose doesn't get twisted as I make my watering rounds. The front squeeze trigger has a click lock allowing me to hold the nozzle which saves on hand fatigue as I water for extended periods. This nozzle lets you adjust the water intensity at each of the shower types. I am purchasing another one because even though I use the quick disconnect that comes with the nozzle, I accidentally left it out for a long period of time over the winter and the freezing temperatures made it start to drip at the squeeze trigger area. I still believe it is a quality made product and it has withstood multiple falls and bumping around as I manually wind my hose into its copper hose pot. It has also withstood extreme heat (100 degrees +) on the roof. I highly recommend this hose nozzle.

This actually makes plant-watering fun, which, if you're lazy like me and need all the motivation you can get, is a huge selling point. All the different settings are really amazingly useful. I didn't think I'd end up using half of them, but I discovered that in fact I have use for all of them. It's such a luxury having the option of exactly the right angle or type of spray for all your different plants. Great product!

The Nozzle works great for the watering jobs we have around the house(front & back yards) so well that we bought two for our self & one for our Daughter to use. The only reason I only gave it 4 stars is that it does not do the watering for you.
