I had been in my garden several up sprinkler from Gardena in use. This no longer work after less than a year! Installation, maintenance and cleaning were done really carefully and accurately. No wonder, considering the Kunststofffestpiele at Gardena look at - there is not a single part that looks even remotely like it was made to last and thereby promises Gardena winter hardiness (!). Unfortunately I am only now pushed to the products of Hunter and would gradually convert. The sprinkler makes a qualitatively very good impression and is a lot less space than similar Gardenaregner. The connections of Gardena work fine. The setting is in the beginning a bit unclear after 5 minutes studying the manual and trying out but no problem. There are a plurality of nozzles included - what you need, you have to test halt. The beam is around corners better than Gardena because both near and far field are watered evenly.
