Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gardena HydroFan Oscillating Sprinkler 3200 #36965Customer Review: Best Sprinkler I've ever owned Summary: 5 Stars
I'm here after failing to find another Gardena Grande locally. I've own two of these: one I've had for about 13 years (it's pretty much toast, but what do you expect from a plastic sprinkler?), and the other one for about 7 or 8 years. Despite the comments of others, I've found this sprinkler's durability to be one of its best assets. In my experience, if these sprinklers stop oscillating, it's because they've been stepped on - that bends the aluminum tube skids that connect both ends and can pinch the middle part to keep it from oscillating. Carefully straighten them out again, and it should work fine.I've tried various others, including Melnors and Craftsman sprinklers that cost much more, but this is by far the most versatile and useful sprinkler I've ever owned. There's nothing that rivals the ease and flexibility of Gardena's tab system for adjusting the width of the sweep on the fly - if there was just a way to locally control the flow (and thus the length of the sweep), it would be perfect. I'm puzzled by several other reviewers that say thiers stoppped oscillating shortly after purchase. Maybe they've changed the design, or maybe I'm just lucky (with sprinklers, anyway...), but I've certainly not treated mine with kid gloves, and they've been working fine for years. Occasional sticking is the reason I need a new one to replace my oldest one, but, heck, the thing has lived 13 years in the Texas sun: The adjusting rings are a pale coral now, and the plastic is starting to flake off all over - it's even outlived two or three Gardena quick-connects and half a dozen o-rings. I've certainly gotten my money's worth - Highly recommended.
