 Best Watering Wand Ever July 15, 2007
David L. Keltner (Cleveland Ohio)
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
This watering wand has the best "water breaker" I have ever used. There are two water breakers, one is the conventional wide spray that is very good, but everyone does that one well. The other one is a "tube" of aerated water that is about an inch thick and can be aimed. The flow of the aerated water is so gentle that it does not disturb the soil in the pot. This "tube" of water is great for watering pots that are above your head. You can aim and arc the water into the pots. Truly a wonderful product.
My third Gardena Wand September 24, 2007

This is the third Gardena Wand I have purchased and it works very well for most of my watering needs in my greenhouse. It is very easy to use and control. I would like to see however some site where I may purchase repair parts instead of needing to purchase a new wand---at least then I would have a spare.
 Throwaway design and materials July 20, 2008

I agree with the other reviewers that this item performs (when it performs) as an excellent garden spray device. With the long wand it is great for reaching hanging flower baskets, flowers under the deck, and, other places needing a long reach. When it works it produces a nice gentle spray - excellent for flowers.
However, this item is poorly constructed, and, will malfunction with no provocation. The design is such that it can't be fixed. You have to throw it away as soon as one of the parts misplaces itself from a chance squeeze of the handle or some other slight circumstance.
I purchased it thinking that for a "deluxe" price, I would receive a "deluxe" item.
This item was non-functional after about two weeks of light use. The trigger froze. The trigger froze open, and, the resulting water pressure popped off the head.
I see this in many products. What is happening is that these products are designed by mechanical engineers completely on computers. They email the resulting design file to a manufacturer in China. The manufacturer puts it into a computer controlled plastic mold machine which produces the parts. They are assembled. A prototype is sent back to the engineer, who tests it for a few minutes, makes any adjustments to the design, then emails the final product to the manufacturer and production begins with no other testing.
The result are substandard products that are designed to sell, but, not to last, or function as they were intended.
Save your money. This item, because of its flimsy design and materials, is a throwaway.
I recommend a Toro 36" or 21" instead: The Toro design involves strong metal parts in the functioning moving valve assembly, and grip. The Toro is more comfortable to use, and, because the parts that can break or malfunction are metal, instead of cheap plastic, you have a chance of being able to fix it without throwing it away.

Gentle spray May 28, 2008

Read about it in a greenhouse book. Thought i would give it a try. It is much gentler than other sprayers, while still putting out a lot of water. Only way to be more gentle is with a mister. (Also has other tips with hard sprays, etc. but I only use the sprinkler tip as I am in a greenhouse and need to get a lot of water out without splashing all over lights and electronics etc.) The adjustable pressure regulator and sqeeze handle also make control easy. No complaints.
Have yet to find anything better, but... need parts! July 17, 2008
BillD (United States)
As another reviewer mentioned, availability of parts is nonexistent. While Gardena has a comprehensive website, they do not provide parts for this product, and most of their parts are available only in Germany. All I need is the ring that screws on the main spray nozzle, as the plastic threads are stripped.
That said, I have not been able to find any product that comes close to this. I use it to water my vegetable and flower garden every day. I just placed an order for another one, and if it breaks, I will order another.
