The Gardena AquaZoom oscillating sprinkler is currently on sale at Amazon with £22 off, and it’s perfect for keeping gardens watered in the hot weather
Gardening is a labour of love. As the winter frost retreats and spring blossoms emerge, many green-fingered enthusiasts survey their cultivated spaces, calculating the amount of sprucing required to prepare for the warmer months – dedicating countless hours to restore its splendour. Then comes the upkeep.
With gardens parched due to recent scant rainfall, spending precious weekends wielding a hose isn’t always the preferred pastime for gardeners – hence, a sprinkler can be a wise investment. Those gardeners considering investing in a sprinkler or upgrading their existing equipment might want to take advantage of this Amazon deal: the online retailer has reduced the compact oscillating sprinkler to £33.45 from an RRP of £55.78.

The Gardena AquaZoom is available in various sizes, but this model is designed to cover 9 to 216 m2 of garden with a range of 3 to 18 m and a spread of 3 to 12 m, which should suffice for many lawns and vegetable patches. It features settings for spread, throw and flow, tailored to gardeners’ needs, and the sprinkler easily connects to a garden hose for convenient and even watering.
The spray range is adjustable, and the sprinkler includes a built-in water filter and soft nozzles to prevent dirt clogging, simplifying maintenance. Moreover, it’s frost and UV-proof, allowing it to remain outdoors all year round, reports the Express.
If the Gardena AquaZoom isn’t ticking all the boxes for Brits with green fingers, fear not – there’s an array of alternatives to spruce up the lawns. Bargain hunters can snap up the Titan Oscillating Sprinkler for a mere £8.98 from Screwfix, boasting coverage for up to 125 m2, UV resistance, and a design that ensures it sweeps back and forth for that perfect soak.
Argos is in on the action too, offering the Mcgregor sprinkler at a snip for £15, pledging “even water coverage regardless of the water pressure”.
Picking up an impressive 4.3 stars on Amazon, the Gardena AquaZoom sprinkler has been making waves, with one chuffed buyer gushing: “The concept of this is brilliant and I am impressed with how adjustable it is – width of spread and an independent pressure control on the spray head itself… You won’t cover a large garden with it but it’s an impressive bit of kit. I especially like the stable base and the swivel head. The way you can adjust the width of the spray as well means it’s ideal for more precise watering of narrow raised beds in veg garden.”
Yet another customer chirped up: “We needed a sprinkler that wasn’t too powerful as our front garden is quite small. This is perfect. It functions perfectly and sprays just far enough. We’re very pleased with this.”
A third chimed in with high praise, saying: “This water sprinkler is the bees knees. Best one yet.”
However, it’s not been smooth sailing for some gardeners, especially those grappling with weak water pressure. One offered a dose of reality: “I think the 18m range is a bit optimistic (maybe I don’t have enough pressure) but all in all, it seems well made and does what I need of it.”
A second reviewer said: “This sprayer works quite well but is a little flimsy.”
If you’re on the hunt for a reliable yet affordable sprinkler system for your garden this summer, then you might want to snap up the Gardena AquaZoom compact oscillating sprinkler, currently on sale.
