A garden sprinkler is not something that everyone needs for their garden…
.. but they do have a fantastic range of purposes!
They are great for the summer holidays where you want to spend time in your garden relaxing.
(Not standing up, holding a hose or watering can!)
Owning a sprinkler enables you to keep the lawn and garden alive and watered and at the same time you can sit and enjoy the weather!
They also make great fun on hot days for children and dogs!

1. Hozelock Round Garden Sprinkler Plus 254m²What does it do? The Hozelock Garden Sprinkler Plus has four arms that rotate and either spray as a jet for watering turf and established plants or a delicate mist spray for young plants or seedlings. There are two jets and the unit has a ‘sled’ base so it will be stable sitting on any surface. The second most expensive sprinkler in our list, for the extra money you are getting a lot of functionality.

2. Hozelock Rectangular Garden Sprinkler Plus 180m²What does it do? The Hozelock Rectangular Sprinkler Plus is a great little gadget that comes in three sizes. To suit all garden sizes. The 180m², 200m² and the 260m² Hozelock sprinklers are specially design to give powerful and even water coverage. (It doesn’t matter what the water pressure is.) You will still get an excellent flow thanks to the water powered gear drive motor. There are 15 jets and the unit has a ‘sled’ base so it will be stable sitting on any surface. There is no fine spray feature. (Area of coverage can be adjusted via the simple red lever.)

3. Rehau Pulse Garden SprinklerWhat does it do? A classic looking garden sprinkler from Rehau. It has the ability to cover up to 520m². The only downside is that the spike is not as robust as you would probably like it to be. (So you need to be a bit gentle with it.) But when you have worked it out it is a fantastic little gadget. Especially if you are wanting to be in one area of the garden whilst the sprinkler is in use (and not get soaked!) You can also use your regular Hozelock connectors with it.

4. BRADAS Garden SprinklerWhat does it do? A super simple and to the point sprinkler. No fancy features or calibration needed. Just plug in and go, you can use standard Hozelock connectors with the Bradas garden sprinkler. But if you have never owned a lawn sprinkler before and only want to spend a few pounds to try one out then perhaps give it a go. One thing to bare in mind is that the unit is very light so could easily be blown or tipped up.

5. Kärcher Premium Oscillating Sprinkler – OS 5.320SVWhat does it do? The most premium water sprinkler in our 10 picks. This really is a wonderful, well though out product. If you’re a proud gardener is the perfect accessory to fill you with joy every time you use it. The oscillating sprinklers ensure a great, even coverage. This garden sprinkler guarantees stability with a strong base and two fold out anchor spikes for extra stability. (Ensuring it will stay put, even on the most uneven ground.) (You can tailor the coverage perfectly to your garden.) The Kärcher Premium has a robust and durable gear system with a water flow regulator so you can fully customise the volume of water used. As part of the sturdy base, there is a hanging hook for easy storage and an integrated pin so you can clean the nozzles if any become blocked. (This is hidden away and can be accessed by turning a dial.)

6. Oasis Ahead Garden Sprinkler K-200What does it do? The Oasis Ahead sprinkler gives pulsating water coverage with up to 360 degrees rotation. This sprinkler comfortable covers the largest area in our comparison list. Ranging from 371m² to 557m² depending on water pressure. You can easily set the distance you want the water to reach and add diffusion to the water streams using the diffusion pin. Or as part of an irrigation system, or as a fun summer splashing activity for children or water loving dogs. Just the heavy duty stuff with rubber grips on both sides. If there is one downside to this sprinkler, its that it can be noisy. As the water pulsates out, the back splash plate makes affably loud clicking noise. (Which to be fair, is a pretty much standard thing with this type of sprinkler.) But worth mentioning just in case you would want to use the sprinkler whilst in the garden. (So you can turn the water on and off conveniently to test the settings – without having to run back to the tap each time!)

7. Hozelock Round Sprinkler Pro 314m²What does it do? A great all rounder from Hozelock. The sturdy metal spike means you don’t have to worry about breaking it easily. The Hozelock loud sprinkler can water a full or part circle. Much like the other Hozelock, this one also has two spray patterns, jet spray for lawns or fine spray for delicate seeds. There are 5 jets, which give a great amount of water flow, regardless of the water pressure. We like this one because it is quiet! So you can be peacefully reading at one end of the garden whilst hands free watering the garden at the other end!

8. Silverline 8-Pattern Dial SprinklerWhat does it do? The Silverline, considering its very budget appeal, is packed with quite a few features. How long it will last is another question. But at the end of the day, if you’re only after a cheap sprinkler to keep your grass alive through the short British summer. And the sprinkler you buy will most likely end up ‘somewhere’ in the shed over winter… this one might be just be for you!
Pretty impressive! The spray patterns are:
That all sounds pretty confusing but if you look at the top of the sprinkler, there is a convenient little symbol code for each setting, that logical describes the setting. It is not going to be the very best sprinkler in the world at this price. But will certainly keep you amused for a while playing with all the different settings. It doesn’t cover a huge area, so if you have the patience to pull it around the garden every now and again then you will be well away.

9. Greenkey Metal Base Pulsating SprinklerWhat does it do? The Greenkey sprinkler looks high quality straight away thanks to its robust looking solid metal base. Which is always a bonus. It feels luxurious and is heavy. The components feel durable and resilient to knocks. The upside: there’s no spike that goes into the ground that could snap. The downside: If you accidentally kick it with bare feet you will regret it!! (The water bar pressure scale goes from 1 – 10). In terms of dispersing the water, it uses a traditional pulsating head to spray the water evenly. This works very effectively. An all round great addition to the garden.

10. Quantum Garden Oscillating Sprinker System What does it do? A cheap and cheerful oscillating sprinkler. It comes with quick adaptor screws to fit your hose and covers up to 312m². This water sprinkler has been designed with garden life in mind, with a sturdy frame to withstand dogs, kids, weather and even accidental drops. The heavy base ensure it wont get blown or knocked over. You need a fairly good water pressure to make the most if this water sprinkler.
