Product Information

If you're watering a lawn, it's advised to use your sprinkler once a week or a couple of times per week in prolonged dry weather, and to deposit about an inch of water over it. Apart from what I believe is an overstatement of the total area of coverage this is a bullet proof, totally solid unit. Oscillating sprinklers are a pretty safe bet, and as long as you don’t have really low water pressure, or a very large lawn, you should be ok, and this is one of the reasons we chose the Karcher sprinkler for our best overall oscillator. There’s neutral which let’s you move the tractor around freely, back and forth, and then there are low and high gears. Now over my time I have used many, but I decided to go with testing one highly recommended online – the Hozelock.

Though it’s worth mentioning it’s been through a thorough testing process - one that you could say has lasted (and survived) many years. For my own lawn and my client’s lawns (I am a professional gardener and nurseryman by trade), this is when I always recommend getting a good lawn sprinkler for lawn maintenance. Aside from being well suited for large lawns up to 490m2, the main reason we love pulse or impact sprinklers is because they typify the sound of summer and especially the countryside.As well as hydrating with the jet spray, this best round sprinkler comes with a mist setting to water delicate plants and seedlings.

The mid-sized sprinkler in Gardena’s AquaZoom line, the AquaZoom M, is a fantastic device for watering, with easy adjustments for spray range, spray width and water flow, and the kind of build quality cheaper models just can’t match – all backed up by a four-year warranty. They usually have a stick pushed into the ground or they sit on a base and they rotate under water pressure, meaning everything within the range of the sprinkler can get some water. Build quality is rock solid too, and everything from the metal spray rods to the large spiky tires feels like it was built to last, and you don’t have to worry about the metal body breaking if you accidentally tread on it like with a plastic sprinkler. From the best round sprinkler to the best oscillating sprinkler, and even the best versatile sprinkler you can also use to shower your flowers by hand, you’ll find a type that you like. The twist gun from Hozelock not only looks pretty cool but will do its job of cooling down your lawn.This model is designed for rectangular lawns and gardens, and thus sprays in this shape and no other. All the same, it’s thoroughly effective, sweeping backwards and forwards to cover an area of up to 180m2 on the smaller version tested. Lastly, addressing the age old hand water vs water sprinkler argument: both forms of watering have their time, place and benefits. I have been using this Costwise Pro Oscillating Bar Sprinkler myself for over 3 years now, and it’s still like new. For the most efficient and effective watering, a lawn sprinkler attached to an electronic timer will ensure consistent maintenance, and opting for a sprinkler with a range of nozzles and flow settings means you can target certain areas that need more attention.

During this time, it’s important to keep your lawn moist until the lawn seed germinates or ensure new turf does not shrink (a common problem people have after laying new turf and not watering it enough). On the subject of coverage, I never got near the claimed maximum of 320m2 (same story with the Hozelock I compared), even in our property that had the highest water pressure, but we never felt like we weren’t using a practical sprinkler. For even more information about this sprinkler be sure to read the Kärcher Premium Oscillating Sprinkler OS 5.It’ll cheerfully send water flying a good 7m or 8m away and, despite sitting at near-ground height, clear any fences or hedges in the way. Assembling the Wisdomwell sprinkler is really simple and only needs you to pop a couple of parts together and attach a hose. Gruntek’s mini lawn sprinkler is a great option for people with smaller lawns and lower water pressure. However, making reach adjustments on the fly is recipe for a good soaking so be sure to time your tinkering Ethan Hunt-style between oscillations. But don’t worry, we haven’t shied away from pointing out flaws and you will get our honest opinions on each one in our ‘best’ list, as well as how they compare to each other and other products on the market.
