My old garden hose nozzle was older and getting sediment build-up, which affected the spray patterns. I saw this one on sale so I snatched up the deal. My old hose nozzle was made of metal or some other harder plastic, so I was skeptical of this plastic one. The blue plastic looked cheap, but oh my gosh does it work well!
All of the spraying functions work great, and I haven’t had any leaks at all. I’ve had this nozzle for a few weeks, but I’ve used it almost every day in my garden. The Jet is very powerful IMO, and last night after having to use several different tools to dig in wet clay soil, it did an awesome job getting all of the mud build-up off of my tools, some of which was caked on from a few days beforehand. I normally use the Shower setting, but Soaker is good for filling my potted plants and window boxes outside, I have found that Center is perfect for filling a birdbath that I can’t quite reach, and Mist is great for seedlings and cooling yourself down! ????????
In regards to power - sometimes it is difficult for me to NOT turn it on full blast, but I could probably just turn down the faucet to help with that. The other way to control the stream is to pull down the trigger lock, then turn the adjustment nut to your desired setting.
In response to some other reviews:
-I am one of the clumsiest people I know, but if I were to drop this nozzle and it broke… I would not consider that much of a design flaw. After all, it IS very light and made of plastic, and cost me under $10. This is not a long-term nozzle, but none of mine ever are.
-The handle size is normal size.
-No leaks of any kind over here. If you have that problem, I would say to verify that the rubber washer is still in place.
-I have no idea how others have weak water pressure with this nozzle, because I usually have the opposite problem.
-Unusable because a piece went flying off? - that appears to be the adjustment nut. It screws on and doesn’t have a locking feature preventing it from screwing all the way off, so if you loosen it too much it WILL go flying off. You can probably use a regular nut for that?
All this being said, I will update my review if I have any changes in performance, especially in the near future.
