Amazon.com Review
This innovative oscillating sprinkler design can water medium-to-large yards, is fully adjustable, and comes with a built-in timer and flow control mechanisms. While many oscillating sprinklers allow you to adjust the range of the spray, this one also provides adjustments for controlling the width and the water flow. At the highest water pressure (56 psi), the width can be adjusted from 13 to 56 feet and the range from 23 to 69 feet. At low water pressure (28 psi), the width can be set from 11-1/2 to 47-1/2 feet and the range from 19-1/2 to 56.7 feet. The timer allows you to select watering times from 15 to 120 minutes, or it can be bypassed for constant flow. Gardena includes its Quick Connector hose adapter for easy time-saving hose changes and a special needle for keeping spray nozzles clean. The Aquazoom provides all the versatility and design features you could ask for in an oscillating sprinkler.

Customer Reviews

Why can't the manufacturers get all their i's dotted and t's crossed?
As landscape nursery and plantspeople, we use this sprinkler abundantly in many arenas. The last few we've purchased have been defective, and we don't know how we can keep encouraging our clients to purchase them with the careless glitches that have gone into the manufacturing of them. They are some of the more pricey sprinklers on the market, so one would expect them to be totally functional.

very fragile
Although the sprinkler does a very good job -- it is especially easy to adjust the range and swath without getting soaked, it is very fragile. I sense many reviews here are from new owners. In the year we owned ours it has been broken by being tripped over (then repaired), same again (repaired), and again by children (unrepairable). The timer mechanism comes apart rather easily and the jets are easily damaged. The plastic is the hard, brittle sort that I fear could easily crack. If you take exceedingly good care of the device, it will I think serve you well, but I really think at this price it should withstand some abuse, at least as well as similar products.

From Elation to Defeat
I share comments similar to others. Excellent beginning, BUT soon it got stuck in one position and will not move. Long term reliability not yet there...manufacturing problems I'm sure. I read of another reviewer having unit repaired. I'd like to know where and how much. For $50+ you'd expect more. Can't find the manufacturer so I can't even complain...except here. HELP!
