GardenaAquaZoom L rectangular sprinkler: Sprinkler for watering areas of 28–350 m², range 7–21 m, spread 4–17 m, built-in metal filter (18714-20)

We had new turf laid into our garden and were told we needed to stay off it for several weeks to let it settle, but it would require watering a couple of times a day through the summer.I wasn't really sure what the best sprinkler option was, having never had to tend to a lawn before. There seem to be various different types, but I felt a traditional oscillating sprinkler best suited the lawn area we have - it's essentially a 10x10m square of lawn. So ideally I needed a sprinkler I could throw in the middle to water.Gardena are a brand I've used many times lately, having centered most of my garden water needs around their products. They're pricier than some rivals, but I find that they're worth the extra money normally, especially if you wait for a sale price. I bought this item at around £30.The construction feels like heavy duty plastic. With the exception of the metal rods in the base, which I believe are for the axis/to rotate. There are a couple of dials to adjust the water streams and direction. The first one adjusts the "throw" which can increase the distance from 3-15m, and then there are dials to change the spread. You can do this on either end of the sprinkler so if you, for example, wanted to avoid the garden shed you could adjust the dial to stop short and open the other side up to go further. It's pretty effective. I tend to set mine up in the centre of the lawn and then adjust it to stop short of the patio on one end, and go full spread on the other. In terms of height I've set it to cover maximum distance without going over the neighbours fence!I think the quality is there for the money. I used it throughout the initial month of settling the lawn and it did a great job. I have since used it periodically during the hot spells in the summer.It's simple to hook up to the hose and place down where you need it. The controls are basic but effective. The water inlet has a built in rust resistant filter to prevent dirt or limescale getting into the sprinkler. This can be removed and washed out.It's worth noting that this is the smaller of three that Gardena sell. It'll cover up to 150m², the next one 250m² and the large does up to 350m² - so there are options available using the same tech - the throw and reach increases with the sizes.Overall good value, effective and feels like will last as long as I need it to. Easy recommendation from me.

This has worked perfectly to distribute water evenly over a newly seeded lawn. My lawn is approximately 7m x 8m and the coverage was great. Water pressure appeared to be fine. Product is high quality and comes with all parts mentioned in description. Product is as picture shows.

Works fine, I think our water pressure is too low though.

Perfect for my 50 sq. metre newly laid lawn. Very easily adjustable. Lawn coverage is excellent. Speed of swing is good giving you enought time to nip in and make minor adjustments to position, angles, and coverage without getting soaking wet. My wife thought it was also hilarious watching me dash back and forth setting it up. What else can you say about a lawn sprinkler? Excellent purchase at a reasonable price.

Brilliant sprinkler, Good instructions and very easy to use with surprisingly good coverage. I have a 14 x 14 m lawn and it covers it in two sections, back half, then front half. The water also sprinkles in quite light water droplets giving the grass a good water without being aggressive like some sprinklers. Made in Germany rather than China, it seems very well made without being over engineered, it's light and sturdy and relatively small. I bought a more expensive one from B&Q which broke after 45 minutes so I am really pleased with this one. I would highly recommend. Excellent value.

Great little sprinkler. Works perfectly and excellent value for money.
