Customer Reviews

Perfect Except for One Big Thing
I picked up one of these hose nozzles at Home Depot last week. I liked the sturdy feel, I like that it won't rust, and I like how it works. Unfortunately, there's one huge flaw and for that I will be returning it.

Pros:
- It's very easy to turn on and off with a solid feeling lever on top. Flip it forward for on, back for off. There's no need to squeeze a trigger or flip a lock switch to keep it on.
- There's two adjustable rings: one adjusts water flow, the other adjusts the stream from wide to narrow. I don't need 9 different spray patterns. This nozzle gets it just right.
- The whole thing feels very sturdy and well built. No flimsy plastic parts.

Cons:
- The strongest jet setting is just sad. We've got great water pressure, but this thing doesn't spray half as hard or far as our old $3 hose nozzle.

Would recommend for:
- Watering the lawn
- Washing the dog
- Arthritis sufferers

Would NOT recommend for:
- Spraying down the patio
- Washing the car or boat

Couldn't agree more
I read the last review and thought they must have improved the unit. Unfortunately, they have not. This high quality, well made hose nozle has the appearance of the best unit you ever owned - but the most pitiful underwhelming spray is all you'll ever get. I tried every adjustment and have excellent water pressure - there is no way around it - the design is somehow flawed and you can not get good force or flow from the unit. Very sad - I loved it till I tried to use it. Took back for the old $5 version which works perfectly.

Nice handle - but that's all
I purchased this nozzle last week. Now, I have a brand new five-inch well with great water pressure and volume. The on/off function of the handle is wonderful, but this unit totally fails because it cannot deliver anything more than a medium gush of water - certainly not a strong spray. It is pitiful.

Orbit needs to take this product back to the drawing board and this time, involve an engineer in the redesign.
