Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)1. Unlike what the photo seems to show, the angle of the spray head is only about 10 deg down from the wand. In the photo it's about 50 deg. (I measured it after I received the wand and realized the angle was much smaller than pictured). This makes the wand useless for hanging plants because you have to hold the handle of the wand higher than the plant to spray down into the pot and not over the top of it. It works no better for hanging plants than a watering can with a long spout.
In fact a completely horizontal wand wouldn't be much worse than this one in terms of spraying down into hanging plants or plants on high shelves.
2. The faucet adapter leaks. I tried it on different faucets with the same thread in the house and got the same results. Even at low water pressure, water sprays from the adapter in all directions. The water that happens to hit the hose runs down the hose onto the floor. The water that doesn't hit the hose sprays the wall in back of the sink and the counters to the sides. It really makes a mess. Yes, there is a washer; it leaks anyway.
3. The hose might be 50ft uncoiled, but in practical use it only uncoils to about half that length before it becomes far more work to drag the wand around than it would be to carry a watering can.
4. Water delivery is slow. Even at high pressure, regardless of spray setting, it takes forever to water a medium sized plant thoroughly (by medium I mean pots with diameters of 6" - 8"). Larger plants take even longer. Once again, you're better off with a watering can.
When I bought this product I was hoping that the angle of the spray head was as large as shown in the photo, so I could water hanging plants without having to climb up to them on a ladder with a watering can. For that reason and the others cited above, this product just doesn't make it.
I forgot one other nice touch:
5. No documentation. Nada. No instructions, no printed warranty, no company contact information, nothing - not even an Amazon packing slip. Cheap. Stay away from this turkey.
